Family and friends give a loving tribute to the late famous actor. It's nice to see so much admiration. There are things I didn't know like making music videos and his filmmaking aspirations. I did forget about his breakup with Michelle Williams. It's not unexpected that she's not doing those talking head interviews. There are a couple of hints about his depression which is blamed on his lack of sleep. What these people are describing is endless energy that builds to almost manic obsession although they put it into the most favorable light. He is a magic being to them and I don't expect anything less. This doesn't get too deep into his death. It is only really a tribute.

This was part of a trend of TV-made documentary films from Network Entertainment celebrating popular movie stars who passed away too soon. Basically, this film looks back at the life and career of Australian actor Heath Ledger. Friends and family that knew him best talk about his early and popular films and his roles, his relationships, his personal interests, and his tragic death in 2008 from accidentally overdosing on prescription drugs. With clips and discussions of his films, including: 10 Things I Hate About You (1999),The Patriot (2000),A Knight's Tale (2001),Monster's Ball (2001),The Four Feathers (2002),Ned Kelly (2003),Lords of Dogtown (2005),Brokeback Mountain (2005) (Oscar nominated),I'm Not There (2007),The Dark Knight (2008) (posthumous Oscar winner),and The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus (2009) (he died during production). It also goes into detail about his interest in filmmaking, his preparation for roles (including being a gay cowboy and as the Joker),and his difficulties with being famous, and there is a lot of unseen home-made footage. With contributions from Sally Bell (Heath's mother),Catherine Hardwicke, Emile Hirsch, Djimon Hounsou, Kim Ledger (Heath's father),Kate Ledger (Heath's sister),Olivia Ledger (Heath's sister),Ang Lee, Ben Mendelsohn, Naomi Watts, and Michelle Williams (his former partner, they had a child together). It is a shame that Ledger died so young, aged 28, but this makes you appreciate how good an actor and a good person he was, it is an interesting documentary. Good!

I'm one who does not have the best knowledge of Heath Ledger. I know some of his movies and think he was very good at both Brookeback Mountain and The Dark Knight. I have not seen all the movies he played in. This documentary gives real insight into his life, motivation, his wonderful attitude to life, his love for friends and pride for the family. Unlike other documentaries I've seen about celebrities, this is much closer and personal. It is full of feedback and reflections from his good friends, family and business partners. This makes the film credible and strong. We also see many private recordings that Heath did, either by himself or by others. We also get insight into his deep interests for other forms of art such as music and art. Overall, a deep dive in the life of an exciting, talented and inspiring man who died too soon.
