Jake Gyllenhaal is Ocean Fresh

Anon Don’t get me wrong …. i love Jake too…
I just compare Ennis character with Jack’s who is more openly to admit his feelings, Ennis is closed and that makes Heath role more complexer.
I newer said that Jake is bad actor and believe me i am angry too because they both lost Oscars, and i agree with you when you said they were brilliant..
I am just trying to explain to Fran. She/he always see Jake as “jobbing” actor…

Okay, let’s put it this way. Jake was sexier and prettier and more attractive in BBM but Heath was the better actor by far. Don’t let your lust for Jake the guy cloud your perception of his acting.

i have nothing better to do.

Im a twerp with a stupid name.

Im so lonley

I guess Heath has a very meticulous way of approaching the character, because from take to take there is not a lot of difference. It’s not like he pre-programmed it and he actually went without responding. He would respond, but he set himself in a certain zone that seemed to me pre-determined and he kept refining it. Jake, on the other hand,..would have a wide variety …That might conflict with Heath’s performance sometimes….Heath is really the anchor for that Western mood. So, it’s good that he’s reliable and always that way with very subtle changes.

Jake, I sometimes had to remind him that innocence is on his side. As a young actor… they can forget that innocence is on their side.

There you have it; Heath the great actor; Jake not. And I fully understand that telling idiots they are idiots irritates them and they try in a silly fashion to strike back….without effect. Their stupidity always shows.

Yeah right i am sexually attracted to Jake so he obviously cloud my mind.
If you didn’t noticed many people here who love Jake also love Heath.
What you want me to say OK Heath was better… :))))
I watched “The Dark Knight ” Heath was brilliant like always, but his performance of Joker make me sick.

Lust for Jake… Nooo. This is just for fun.

And since the idiots here have the insolence and temerity to diss what I say, I’ll rub more salt in their wounds. The author of the story said Heath’s performances was a “brainfu*k” for her since he understood the character of Ennis better than she had. She didn’t say anything of the sort about Jakey. In fact she politely dissed him. She said he wasn’t what she had in mind at all for Jack. Jakey was too good looking while Jack was “homely” and bucktoothed. Jakey didn’t change her understanding of Jack; he simply wasn’t Jack. So there!

Ivana, the problem with the Joker in The Dark Knight is that while Heath’s performance is great, it is not up to his performance in BBM for the simple reason that the Joker is one dimensional. The Joker is a guy who is crazy. Period. Ennis was a real person of great complexity. Heath’s greatest performance was as Ennis. The Joker is of less importance.

He is good looking, not the Mr World, of course, that one is in Spain, gourgeous guys there,….and he is in love with Reese Witherspoon, of course the relationship is only gonna benefit her, not him. Nobody would give a s***t of her if she wasn’t going out with him,nobody would talk about her after the divorce if she wasn’t with Jake,…I guess she is very clever,…..

Oh God another idiot!.

Anon, my advice to you,…get a boyfriend/girlfriend and live your life instead of spending your time reading celebrity websites….and fantasizing with someone you will never have,……get real.

Francesca (genuine or se, or chris whatever),

Jake and Heath did a brilliant job in BBM.
Heath played Joker very well but I think the midia overrated cause he died. No offense, I liked very much Heath. But often when a young good actor/singer died he becomes a myth like James Dean, River Phoenix, Janis Joplin… I mean unluckily these stars died too soon and almost they didn´t time to make many mistakes. I mean their careers were short and some people use think they would good all the time.
Does anyone imagine Sean Penn, John Travolta, Michey Rourke getting over ?

Thanks God Jake is alive and has time to make mistakes and to shine in news movies.

X: a few comments. 1. Heath’s performance in BBM was perfection and we knew this before he died so the opinion I and others have of it doesn’t come from his having died. 2. He was the best Joker so far, but as I pointed out before the role doesn’t allow him to show all his talents because it is a narrow role. 3. He made any number of mediocre movies that have not done anything for his reputation. You rate a star by his top performance since it shows what he is capable of, but it doesn’t mean all his performances will be great. Heath is not being overrated because he died. And it is not good that the Academy may try to rectify its previous mistake (in not giving him the Oscar when he deserved it) by giving him an Oscar now. The Academy goofed on BBM and it can’t live that down.

If he’s gay I want to be a man!
