The Late Great Heath Ledger and Modest Mouse



So besides being great artists, the two names listed above are great activists. Modest Mouses King Rat video directed by Ledger carries an eerie reminder of the cruel inhumane nature of humans. As disgusting as we are, the animation makes it even more clear why humans are horrid creatures. The role reversal is the classic imagery needed to balance our culture out of the rose colored view we have designed for ourselves. Perhaps the message in this video will one day gain as much attention as Modest's Mouses music and Heath's portrayal of the Joker.
