@@ericbrooks5117 Yes, and to my understanding, they did not earn anything from the song, as they had to sell the rights to it. Unfortunately in this world, people are capable of doing both great and terrible things. A perfectly good song shouldn't be shunned because it's creator did wrong. Were that the case, I'm sure there would be many works of art blinked out of existence as a result.

@John Doe The song was written and performed by Gary Glitter, a serial child sodomizer who fled the country to avoid his arrest, only to get arrested in his new country because of his continuing string of sex crimes. It would be the equivalent of playing Mechanical Boy by Charles Manson
There's a difference between a fictional character who is an outsider to society's norms for more or less, ambiguous reasons, and a real life character, who is essentially, an outsider to society for simply being an inexcusable piece of shit pedophile. Don't be a moron.
@@Sundae_Times dissociate yourself from it. The song is ace. He probably didn't even write the actual music - that would be Mike Leander. And note GG vocals were absent from the scene. He doesn't earn anything from it, was sold ages ago. Take the thing back while simultaneously casting that paedo fuck into the bin.
@@Sundae_Timesif the inclusion of a single song, lasting less than 2 minutes of the hours long movie was enough to ruin the entire thing for you, then you’re way too uptight. Yeah, Gary Glitter is fucking disgusting, but the song he made is great. If every artist or creator that did criminal acts was just completely carved out of history along with all of their creations, we’d be in a much more primitive world; you can enjoy art without respecting the artist or their other actions. Just enjoy the song itself and this iconic scene, say fuck Gary Glitter, and move. On.
This song is associated with not just winning, but also acceptance. This song is you and your tribe, cheering yourselves on from one victory to the next. Joker spends this whole movie profoundly alone, and failing at everything he does. In this scene, he has transcended his loneliness, and embraced who he is. The irony is that, now that no longer cares about human connections, and he no longer cares if he succeeds at anything, he is free to go on to become a nihlistic leader of a successful criminal syndicate. The Joker that fights Batman is never alone, and his competence is formidable. Some people complained that the Joker in this movie was inept, but to me, it all made sense. This movie shows the inept, lonely, and frustrated Arthur Fleck. He is not yet the Joker. He becomes the Joker after he embraces nihilism. This is the pivotal scene that shows that transformation.
If you knew anything about this song you would dislike the whole movie. Search up Garry glitter. He has numerous charges involving CP on his computer child endangerment, he “SA” little girls from the ages of 12-14 years old I’m the UK and Vietnam.
In my opinion, this was an excellent decision for the score. It's a song you associate with winning. But it's also associated with the greasy and untrustworthy people of this world like Gary Glitter. It only makes sense that our main character who's fallen into madness be celebrating with a song made by such a awful man.
Why should the music be forbidden? It’s only music. That’s as crazy as banning all of Elton John’s music because he was gay. The music was great and made the charts when it came out in the 1970’s. That was British Glam Rock and is in the same category of rock music as Suzy Quattro and many other great artists. Banning the music is a senseless act because Gary Glitter is now an old man and most likely has enough money to last him the rest of his life. Banning the music only punishes the music fans who bought the music because they liked it. You want them to ban Freddy Mercury’s music because he died of AIDS?
@@ReflectionOfPerfection I don’t think it was simply a way of saying “fuck you”, it was a good song to sum up Joker’s state of mind. You have the fun, exuberant sound of the song itself combined with the underlying darkness that comes with Gary Glitter’s personal life.
Phenomenal film, immediately right up there with the iconic classics. As the end credits rolled, the packed cinema I was in, no one moved, we were just all pinned to our seats with our jaws on in floor, in awe and silence
I literally blasted this song on loop after I left the theater on my way home. I knew like with any song in a modern day movie, it would be mainstream again.
The movie is an artistic masterpiece. What made it even funnier was how many capeshit fans it suckered in to seeing it. The story is hard to look at. It’s not a happy movie. It’s meant to confront. It’s the story of the scapegoat. Scapegoated just family, “friends” and even publicly. The point of change, that is his descent down the stairs, easily relatable to a “katabasis” that is the Ancient Greek trio the underworld Odysseus, Heracles, Demeter, Persephone, amongst many others performed. They return wiser. When joker goes down the stairs dancing, what you have on display is his soul. He has reclaimed it and loves it. He’s rather live one day in the sun treasuring it than let someone else step all over it. Powerful film.
Love this movie so much... I've only seen it twice but sadly I cant watch it due to my mental health. I get him stuck in my head, his voice and sometimes I see him (I know he's not real but that's how bad it gets) that's how powerful this movie is to me.
@@wapiti7151 or it could add to the fact that he is crazy and had been hallucinating the entire movie. Todd Phillips is a man of detail I wouldnt put it past him if that was his intention. Or like you said he may have just lit another one but thats a tad bit more boring lol

@@uraniumcranium2613 ....Nah the original Joker with Cesar Romero will always be the iconic one as all other Jokers followed his over the top blue print. But hey like Mary said it's not a competition, everyone adds something.
