• Heath Ledger's Joker Diary - O Diario do Coringa




    Resume

    Ledger’s father doesn’t read directly from the diary and most of the text is difficult to make out, but on one page you can clearly see, “Why So Serious?” written at the bottom. 
    The clip is from a German documentary, Ledger’s father speaks English and the dialogue is curiously overdubbed into French but a translation provided by a YouTube user allows us to hear Kim Ledger’s words as he flips through the diary.

    The diary, seen here for the first time in this video, actually feels more like a scrapbook. On the cover it says simply, “The Joker,” with a picture of an elephant and a young girl in a hat. While there certainly are pages of written text inside, there are also many pages of pasted images including a couple of Alex from ‘A Clockwork Orange’ (with the caption “Got Milk?”), a few panels from Batman comics and, of course, lots of clowns.

     At the top of one entry, highlighted in pink is “HOSPITAL ROOM” and below it reads the Joker’s monologue from the hospital scene with Harvey Dent. 
    “I don’t want there to be any hard feelings between us, Harvey. When you and Rachel were being adbucted, I was sitting in Gordon’s cage. I didn’t rig those charges.”
    You can watch the clip to see inside Heath Ledger’s diary for yourself. It’s amazing, a little creepy and really heartbreaking.
