Anyone that is familiar with the Batman movies is familiar with the kind of torment it puts upon the actors. The script is almost always dark and distressing.
When unexplained happenings and connections started to come into play that affected the actors after they ended production well, someone had to ask.
Power One
When news hit that our beloved Heath Ledger was taken before his time, we were all perturbed. It was so surprising to so many people. How can these people lead such secretive lives when their working lives are so out in the open?
It was terrible to think that Ledger had some sort of disorder or conflict that led him to this point.
As time went on, information started to rear its ugly head. It was said in the news that Heath had gotten so enthralled in his role as the "Dark Knight", that he brought his work home with him. He was unable to sleep, eat, or even think coherently. Ultimately the stress of the situation led to his death. So we believe!
Power Two
Do you remember a movie by the name of "American Psycho"?
Christian Bale just happens to have been the leading role. He was a high power businessman that ruled the industry by day and murdered innocent women by night. He was said to bully the other lead actors out of playing the role because he said he was born to play it. He was sick of others saying Leonardo Dicaprio was a bigger star so he wouldn't get the part.
"I kept saying I was going to play the lead and people wondered if I was losing my mind. It reached the point where the film studio said about me, 'don't mention his name again.'
Christian Bale's acting merits ultimately led to his role in "Batman Begins" in 2005. I loved this movie. It wasn't filmed with an over exaggeration on weapons and gadgets but, the skills of the character.
However, when the second installment of the Batman movies wrapped, Christian was left with a bad taste in his mouth. There was so much attention on the recent demise of Heath Ledger that it took away some of the spotlight for him.
However, the spotlight was not skewed for long. While the movie was destroying box office records, Bale was in London, where his mother and sister reportedly leveled assault allegations against Bale.
Christian spent 4 hours in jail but, he was not charged; at least not yet.
And so the darkness surrounding "The Dark Knight" continued.
Power Three
In the 2005 installment of Batman Begins, Morgan Freeman had actually fashioned the Batman suit in this movie. It was one of his most secret inventions at the Wayne Corporation.
He was a voice of reason and a mentor to Christian while he was on the set.
Every opinion of Morgan Freemen that I have ever had has been an optimistic one. I've never heard of any antics on set or negative press associated with him.
However, after the filming of "The Dark Knight", the Academy Award winner was seriously injured in a car crash.
Freeman was traveling East on Highway 32 when his car skidded off the road and flipped several times.
Freeman was catapulted from the vehicle and then airlifted to a hospital in Memphis where he is still in serious condition.
Undisclosed accidents on the set
There were also unusual circumstances that had occurred during the filming.
A technician on the film died when the truck he was in reportedly struck a tree following a test run. It was also said that one of the actresses was set on fire as well.
I am sure there is one missing that would prove the aspect of Power of 3 but, the press has not released any information.
Another example of the Power of Three
Just the other day, I noticed that my Triond account had an odd amount of funds in it within a few hours. I was excited and skeptical at the same time.
On the same day, I lost my keys on campus and spent 2 hours looking for them. Did I mention my skirt was tucked into my red bikini underwear at the same time?
Not only did I have a humiliating day but, Triond took the money back which is what I expected.
If you put the humorousness aside about my story, you would realize that there were 3 dreadful things that happened to me that day.
This goes to show you that the Power of 3 is alive and affecting others all over the world.
