An actor defined by his compelling screen presence, unwavering dedication to his performances, and astounding versatility, Heath Ledger is still viewed as one of the most brilliant and defining performers of the 21st century. Despite his tragic passing in 2008, his long-standing relevance in mainstream pop culture is ever-present, even more impressive, considering his career consisted of just 18 feature films across a 12-year stretch.
The film’s narrative has a transfixing allure amid its messiness, with Gilliam’s trademark effervescence on full display in all its wondrous and mind-boggling glory. While he passed away only a third of the way through production, Ledger was still able to appear in most of the film. Johnny Depp, Jude Law, and Colin Farrell portray transformations of the character to complete the movie.
While the film was met with only a lukewarm reception from critics, it proved to be a hit with the American public, who responded well to its overt patriotism and its epic scope, taking the film to $215.2 million at the box office. Heath Ledger has a powerful impact in the supporting role of Gabriel, Benjamin’s eldest son, who eagerly enlists to fight and becomes a leader in his father’s militia.
