Heath Ledger's Last Work
Filed under: Music Minute > Heath LedgerHeath Ledger had started to direct this Modest Mouse music video for their song King Rat, but passed away before completion of the vid.
Ledger was friends with the band.
The video was finished by his friends at The Masses, the creative company where Ledger was a partner.
A year and a half after his passing, the video has finally been released.

First.
Very cool
FUCK YEA I LOVE MODEST MOUSE!! HE DID SUCH A GREAT JOB!!! *tear*
daunting. it matched his dark personality
Genius.
lmao this is ridiculous.
And they just released it now?
It look almost 2 years to complete this??
Gorgeous 2D work…
Wish more music videos were creative and beautiful, not just programmed to bring in $$$$$
I love this. I will be sharing this video with friends, for sure.
i love modest mouse!
I saw this on stereo gum. Love the song. And as for the video, It isn't bad actually pretty good but disturbing.
PS
PICK IT UP YO!
Catch that vegan wave….
It's coming up and speciesim will die as compassion, ecological and personal health (rewards of the vegan lifestyle) pour that crashing wave of salt water over your brainwashed brains…
THis video reminded me of the movie "Wrong turn". VERY GORY! HEATH did a GREAT JOB!
I liked it. I liked the idea too. Whaling is horrible
OMG LURVE IT! rock 'n roll
very dark but very cool. it makes you think about those fishsticks your eating. love love love it.
Re: jellotime91 – Not to actually release it but to decide whether or not to release it.
I love MM and Isaac Brock is super cool. I'm glad that they decided to release it, and I'm sure he were still alive Heath would approve.
Its sad that we were only able to take a glimpse at his creativity. He was so talented. RIP Heath.
MM feels good
omg.
I LOVE Modest Mouse. They can do no wrong in my eyes. This video was amazing!
I can't watch all of it. it has a darkness to it. a disturbing underlying message and flair. It's really cool, I'm just having a difficult time trying to process it without feeling kind of down and dark myself.
I like it, but it kinda bothered me. Shouldn't have watched it while I was eating (pasta with red sauce, at that)
Love Modest Mouse, love the video
RIP HL

creppy but makes a good point
Drugs. lol.
Modest Mouse + Heath Ledger =
love Modest Mouse, so poetic
hee hee cute. loved it.
Re: jellotime91 – now you go make one. And make sure it's this good. And die halfway through, then we'll see how long it takes to come out.
kthx.
messed up
Modest Mouse is the greatest band ever. Picked up the EP today - freaking awesome!
the animation is coarse, and organic. i love the color harmony too.. it's cool colors but i don't think the video comes off dark. the song is awesome as well.
This is absolutely charming in a Br'er Rabbit kind of way. I love it.
heath ledger was a mediocre talent
this video is epic in terms of merging sketches, Modest Mouse, beat, and artistic integrity. loves it.
i really dig modest mouse
WOW! That was truely trippy!!!! I give it a ten!
Original, yeah. Like it.
None of the same ol same ol wind machines and strippers and low car riding scenes.
Really cute.
I love Modest Mouse!!!
WOW, HE MUST BE REALLY MAGGOTY BY NOW
wow, this is really good! the first part (which is the calm part) was really nice, and the darker part was very confronting but it's amazing how they brought a very important message in such an original way… I really like this!
It's against whaling. Looking at you Japan!
crapy vid. seriously it was just creepy…
but i still love and miss u heath
love the song, and dig the video
Excellent Video!! I Miss Heath!!
this video was amazing! i love MM && HL! both are so very talented. this video should be played everywhere so it can get people's minds thinking about how horrible the things we do are!
SAVE THE WHALES!
