@@StudioBinder The Joker in this scene goes further to underline their Codependence, unlike the duality between Batman and Harvey Dent where they cannot coexist, this Duality between Batman and the Joker requires that they coexist, each extreme is defined at least partly the Nature of the opposite extreme. Also about the camera movement, Nolan slides the camera he changes the eyeline he starts a conversation with Batman of the left looking right and Joker begins on the right looking leftward but.... as The Joker talks the camera slides to the left repositioning Batman from the left side to the right side of the frame and The Joker now on the left then Nolan does it again when The Joker says "you're just freak" he slides back right shifting Batman back to the left side of the frame in The Joker back to the right now if you ask me why? I think and correct me if I'm wrong, This disorienting camera movement reflects The Joker getting in Batman's head he's leaving him questioning his morals, Nolan here violates the eyeline rule to parallel The Joker getting Batman into violating his only rule because he wants him to flip The Dark Knight from Noble Vigilante to Lawless Executioner and by that breaking Gotham's moral backbone and drag it into the chaotic anarchy he desires.
It isn't a classic interrogation scene but Clarice's first interview with Lector in Silence of the Lambs just does so much with so little as far as story telling, character, and world building.
Best Interrogation Scene in Cinema History according to my opinion, 1. The Dark Knight (between Joker and Batman) 2. Prisoners (between Keller Dover and Alex Jones)
Well, I [probably] don't know if this counts., but a find the courtroom scene in Duck Soup very funny, especially the jokes about "taxes" and "irrelevant" and "he is an idiot."
Other Vloggers have commented but I was surprised you didn't: The interrogation scene in the 1990's Thomas Crown Affair where Rene Russo went German in dialog and circled the interviewee "like a snake... some have commented".
Can we talk about the quality editing on every S.B. video?! Studio binder is just amazing. It’s always well structured, and informative video essays. And somehow avoid tany pretension, negative opinion of any other film/filmmaker - which is so common with every movie channel
If you have seen Daredevil, this power dynamics scene is clearly shown when Karen meets kingpin.. The camera keeps shifting and u can clearly notice who has the power and when .
Mindhunter on Netflix is two seasons of creepy and restrained interrogation scenes of the most notorious serial killers in 1970 America. All from the mind of David Fincher. Highly recommended!
@@StudioBinder For a full perspective we must consider Guy Richie's movie. Originally to be named "Sheela-na-gig " to celebrate the ancient goddess once worshipped across much of the UK his then partner Madonna thought it not a suitable name because of her Yoga skills and a hit single 'Like a virgin 'might cause misunderstanding in the press who seemed to have the humour of a teenage boy ,seeing a pornographic image. The goddess may have been Britain's Kama sutra for sex education but history research has found little evidence supporting this. Sheela has unforgettable charm ,once seen and never forgotten ❤💖 Snatch has had critical acclaim anyway.
Also worth noting is the fact that von Hammersmark is interrogated on an embalming table, signifying her mortal peril. It is visible in every shot of her until the tables are turned. As Aldo goes in for the kill he inserts his finger into her wound and the dutch angle mimics one that would facilitate the drainage of her blood through the foot of the table. When power shifts to her she sits up and the table is no longer visible.
The Dark Knight interrogation scene is my favorite scene. The camera angles and use of physical violence try to make it look like Batman has the upper hand but Joker’s theme playing the background and his line, “you have nothing to threaten me with”, indicates who’s really in control. Nolan is an expert with character writing especially with the hero and villain. That scene really sums up how much Bale and Ledger were dedicated to their roles
The way The Dark Knight was edited and shot was genius especially the interrogation scene, it had a certain rhythm to the cut which really immerses the audience in the story, also the cinematography was just top notch.
@@Laughnowcrylaterx2 Yes definitely, a truly brilliant artist which knows the medium of Filmmaking really well and how to utilise it for the best effect.
The music in that sequence is also a powerful tool to set up the pace. The lack of it at first, then Batman's heavy presence because of his overwhelming physical power in his entrance, only to fall flat again to the Joker's placidity to it. He starts his speech, where an uneasy but comforting melody sets in the back. Batman then loses patience and it all goes up again. It accompanies and heavily dramatizes the situation they're in and their character - Joker can't physically beat Batman, but he fights back with his words and the choice of music accompanies that statement.
@@CuT7yFlaM Yes definitely, the score does play a huge part in that scene as well, as the camera shots gets tighter and tighter and as the tension builds the score really adds that gutteral punch.
@@StudioBinder A subverting power dynamic. Lecter, the prisoner, should not have the power over Starling, but he very clearly does. And it's not a situation where he takes it away from Starling. She never had it. She approaches the "interrogation" aggressively, but it is not because she has any leverage over Lecter, but because she is desperate for answers. He chooses (is not compelled) to give her answers, but only because he wants to, and only after extracting a high price. He's amazing in that film, but Foster's acting in that scene is stunning.
Not every interrogation scene is supposed to be tense. Depends on the importance of person. I mean - the "interrogation" of the blond Lady (Inglorious Basterds) is between friends. So: low tension.
This is a great excuse to talk about two of the greatest movies: TDK and Inglorious Bastards * I would’ve done the intro scene in the latter as the better interrogation scene
Balancing power keeps you guessing, which is perfect for a serial killer murder mystery. Zodiac is a master class of cinema. Definitely my favourite of the three, with the Dark Knight scene next.
I think it was from Studio Binder that I learnt that both Roger Deakins and Denis Villeneuve have said, in separate interviews, that for them the best scene in Sicario (which is full of incredible scenes) was the scene where Emily Blunt and Benicio Del Toro are sitting in her apartment at a small table talking to each other. The art of filming a conversation can never be underestimated.
I have to go with subverting power. I like the look on the "hero's" face when realization happens, weather it be at the interrogation or long after realizing they were douped.
I think why the interrogation scene in Dark knight is soo iconic is not because of the Cinematography but because of the purpose,joker was there literally to destroy the persona of Batman by breaking his strengths he completely killed batman when joker said "You have nothing to threaten me with" now Bruce Wayne is the only person left alive Batman is dead no one believes him, criminals don't fear him he's symbol of fear is meaningless and the choice of saving Rachel instead of Harvey Gothams only hope for 'order' made Batman destroyed again.
The interrogation scene of The Dark Knight and Heat are one of the best interrogation scenes I’ve ever seen. (P.S. to those who didn’t know, the interrogation in TDK was inspired by the one in Heat).
If You are running such a great channel just to advertise Your product then You clearly need more products to advertise :D Totally love this top notch production quality and great knowledge presentation of Yours.
My favorite has to be the opening scening "Inglorious Basterds". Hands down. When the camera pans down to the floor boards, I almost fainted. I wish you would do a video on that one.
No disrespect to the other two masters but the dutch angle, portraying "imbalance" of power in Inglorious Basters just had me! I never noticed it but surely felt it. If that makes sense. Such a great tool. Tarantino is a genius.
wow! first time i've heard someone refer to Inglorious Basterds as a "lesser known one", they have made several videos about it and like every movie channel in YT has at least one video analyzing it
Fincher's camera movements are like conveying a story within a story. I can immediately tell there's something up when he breaks the angle because the scene itself gives it away. I don't have to rely on any exposition to explain why. It's all hidden (and revealed) in his clever use of dialogue and acting just as the camera switches to a different perspective. Check out his work in Mindhunter. You'll see what I mean. Absolutely sensational director.

The Dark Knight is my absolute favorite movie of all time
Zodiac is in my top 5
Inglorious basterds is in my top 15
You should do more of The Dark Knight Interrogation scene becuase there is much more then you think.
What else did you like about that scene?
@@StudioBinder The Joker in this scene goes further to underline their Codependence, unlike the duality between Batman and Harvey Dent where they
cannot coexist, this Duality between Batman and the Joker requires that they coexist, each extreme is defined at least partly the Nature of the opposite extreme.

@@StudioBinder Sorry for long explanation but I'm big fan of Christopher Nolan work :)
Everything is so methodical. I need to start thinking like this when planning my scenes....
Absolute best channel on RUclips!!
💖🙏
The Standoff at Sparrow Creek, highlights 2 interrogation scenes 10 mins+ each, great execution, one of the best imo
You made me watch Zodiac again...... Thanks for this video.
very amazing EP
Insomnia interrogation scene is very good.
It's a great one 👍
Superb video sir 🙏🙏🙏
Enjoy!
Watchmen interrogation scene was my favorite
Director- Zack Snyder
Watchmen has a lot of small gems 👌
@@StudioBinder that scene between Rorschach and doctor was terrifying
10:50 subverting power⚡️
🔥
I am overwhelmed by the interrogation by Hans Landa. ❤
The one from zodiac gave me chills when I first watched it. When he wore a watch, called himself Leigh... The whole movie was chilling!
I was so tense watching it and that basement scene almost made me pee my pants
Fantastic scene
Great again
Cheers!
It isn't a classic interrogation scene but Clarice's first interview with Lector in Silence of the Lambs just does so much with so little as far as story telling, character, and world building.
The interrogation scene in The Town was hilarious and nicely done.
What an awesome channel
Awesome & Thanks :)
Thanks for watching!
Taking notes
Studio binder you've got a great content.i just loved 😍 it
Great to hear!
10:42 But at the same time is the opposite of batman, he was brought to light by the joker.
that was great
Glad you liked it!

I think you should direct a film applying all these techniques.

The dark knight is one of the greatest film ever made for me
What other films were made for you?
The dark knight was specially made by Christopher Nolan just for you?
Both of you are misunderstanding. They mean that in their opinion, 'The Dark Knight' is one of the greatest films ever made.
@@bbilal111 I was obviously joking bro.
@@jayaprakash387 Well you never know with the amount of stupid people on the internet ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
By far the best one is the legendary interrogation in Resevoir Dogs
Mindhunter and Hannibal
💯
I am expecting Oppenheimer movie to be epic. The cast is already epic. Cillian Murphy, RDJ, Matt Damon, Emily Blunt, Rami Malek, etc
Mindhunter on Netflix is two seasons of creepy and restrained interrogation scenes of the most notorious serial killers in 1970 America. All from the mind of David Fincher. Highly recommended!
"Bawnjourno!"
Hello Gorlami
The power of the snatch is underestimated in this 'nalysis.
😂
@@StudioBinder For a full perspective we must consider Guy Richie's movie.
Originally to be named "Sheela-na-gig " to celebrate the ancient goddess once worshipped across much of the UK his then partner Madonna thought it not a suitable name because of her Yoga skills and a hit single 'Like a virgin 'might cause misunderstanding in the press who seemed to have the humour of a teenage boy ,seeing a pornographic image.
The goddess may have been Britain's Kama sutra for sex education but history research has found little evidence supporting this.

You should do something on The Unreliable Narrator.
Maybe start with something from Fincher.
Love your content/

True Romance: Walken vs Hopper
There are four lights!
In that moment Picard gets his on screen power back, and literally after that gets his command of the Enterprise reinstated.
the interrogation scene from investigation of a citizen above suspicion
Sweet :)

The scene in The Silence of the Lambs when Lecter is in the cage talking to Starling.
What type of power dynamic do you think that is?
@@StudioBinder A subverting power dynamic. Lecter, the prisoner, should not have the power over Starling, but he very clearly does. And it's not a situation where he takes it away from Starling.

The integration scene from true romance would’ve been a great option that you understandably didn’t include
I'm Studiobinder fan ..💓
We appreciate it!
Silence of the Lambs has the best interrogation scenes!
Well worth studying!
I love the interrogation scenes in Mindhunter (Netflix). Especially the one with Ed Kemper…just freaking terrifying.
A classic!
The one in Season1Episode10 is my favourite...
I like the interrogation part in "The Big Lebowski"
Lots of great scenes in that movie
You did a great job breaking this down
Glad you liked it!
The dark knight is a masterpiece
Agreed!
When we taught batman was in control the Joker theme music plays showing joker is control.
Great observation!
The interrogation scene in Sicario is brilliant
Agreed!
9:24 The Dark Knight part.
Not every interrogation scene is supposed to be tense. Depends on the importance of person. I mean - the "interrogation" of the blond Lady (Inglorious Basterds) is between friends. So: low tension.
True, but power dynamics are still at play nonetheless
What was that last movie in black and white?
Pineapple Express
Sometimes I just want a director to come out and say " it just looked cool in my head "
This is a great excuse to talk about two of the greatest movies: TDK and Inglorious Bastards
* I would’ve done the intro scene in the latter as the better interrogation scene
If you loved the Zodiac scene, then watch Mindhunter, it's full of those incredible scenes with fantastic dialogue and clever editing
Its sad that we won't get season 3 , mindhunter is probably best show of Netflix.
@@tarunindoriya902 best there ever will be. Gem of a one

Which of his interrogation scenes is your favorite?
@@StudioBinder honestly, none of these particularly, but if I have to choose, Fincher.

Been waiting for this
Hope it was worth the wait!

Favourite interogations is Hans Landa's first scene in Inglorius Basterds and of Dark Knight

The art of filming a conversation can never be underestimated.
Deakins does mentions that in his podcast which we showed in our video!
I'd have to agree with their choice
Many might not see anime as a medium for reference but there's is an AMAZING interrogation scene in a short series called 'Babylon'.
I think you could also say the scenes with L and Light in Death Note are amazing with so much story and character information subtly unfolding.
LA CONFIDENTIAL has the best interrogation scene of all time. Full stop.
I have to go with subverting power. I like the look on the "hero's" face when realization happens, weather it be at the interrogation or long after realizing they were douped.
