Nothing new here in good ol’ Munich. Still studying daily for my upcoming exams, and the library life isn’t that exciting. I can’t wait until they’re over (which will be Friday, February 1st at 17.00). I can’t wait to sleep in again, see my parents, my sisters and my nephews again, have a love-life with the lover again ;). Missing all those things quite much. When I have upcoming exams I stay in Munich, I’m at the library at 8am, staying until about 7 or 8 pm. Almost no talking (except when the Lover and I study at home and explain things to each other. Good study method, btw), always looking down on your books (my back and neck and also head hurt so much). It actually drives you crazy after a few weeks (me at least).
I read, that after Heath Ledger got the role as the “Joker” in the new Batman movie, he practiced his role in a hotel room for about a month. He described the joker as a “psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” (taken from wikipedia). Imagine practicing a role like that. What a job. Pretty tough. If I were an actress and had to play a role like that (or any role where you’re a rapist, mass-murder …) I think I’d go crazy in my head. Totally. If you want to play your role good, for the time when you’re making the movie, you have to be the role, you have to be a different person. At least that’s how I imagine it (I must say, I really have no idea of how the movie-business works). No wonder the actors take medicine (of whatever they take). *sigh*
Or what do you think about this? Could you play a role like that? Do you think it somehow would affect your life?
