In 2008, ‘The Dark Knight’ was released which is considered by many to be one of the best superhero movies in history. With the impact it has had, Not surprisingly, the film has entered the hearts of many peopleas Jonathan Majors, an actor who debuts on February 17 as the new big bad of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and on March 3 steps into the ring in ‘Creed III’ has revealed what happened to him in that moment.
One of the great aspects of ‘The Dark Knight’ is Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker. In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Majors not only declares himself a fan of the role of Ledger, but explains that it was a great motivation for his career, which at the time had not yet begun: “Okay, first of all, he’s gorgeous. He’s got that fucking jaw and he doesn’t give a damn. He gave himself body and soul. He was so complete. And I said: ‘I’m going there. I’m inspired’. It takes a lot to be inspired.”
Majors is not only a fan of Ledger’s Joker, but of the film in general, so much so that he wrote an essay on ‘The Dark Knight’ in which he described her as “one of those rare films that entertains at the highest cinematic level while at the same time challenging its audience with every frame to reach a higher level in their social and self-knowledge.”
In this essay he also explains other reasons why he is so passionate: “The film asks what it means to be human, what it means to be alive and to participate fully in life. ‘The Dark Knight’ so vividly reflects the agnostic morality of survival and the discipline of goodness. The second film in Nolan’s trilogy embraces an unassailable truth: life and people are beautifully complicated and evolving. That’s what makes ‘The Dark Knight’ still stand out all these years later.”
