Heath's Joker is all the more chilling because his rages are controlled. The best villains do not scream all the time.
Honestly Iron Man 1, Spider-man 2, Logan and Joker are much better than The Dark Knight.
Nolan better make character driven films like Prestige with emotional connection again instead of making one-dimensional character plot driven films with plot holes.

Bullshit. The Dark Knight trilogy are the best superhero movies to date.
Love how he changes his backstory everytime just like a real delusional.
Maybe all those are real, who knows? He was mysterious all throughout the movie.
His past is multiple choice lol
“If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!”
-Joker, The Killing Joke
there is one theory where he intentionally changes his story to something relatable to whomever he's telling it to. Just to fuck with them mentally.
@@riceballdonut847 It's just a common theme for psychopaths to continually change their stories or overexaggerate with them, it's a side effect. A relative of mine was working in a hospital clinic and they brought two people to get tested for blood and stuff. The person who was acting all weird and maybe crazy was completely harmless, the other guy who was gentleman like and talked calmy and with temperament was actually the guy being kept close eye by 4 guards. As my relative finished the convertation with the patient like with everyone, they asked the guard why is the patient what did they do, they seem fine and healthy mentally. The guard replied that he started a massacre.
When he says “Why So Serious”, I got chills and was a little scared. Best Joker performance my Heath Ledger. Never will be beat.
I'm 30 and it scares the shit out of me
very true and even when he shouts "LOOK AT ME" when he was video the wannabe batman I even got chills.
Definitely sounds like someone else saying that 👹
Bro I saw the scene yesterday n my heart was racing a lil
I’ve watched this movie more times than I can remember and this scene still gives me crazy chills
It's crazy how he mastered his voice changes and how he underlines different emotions just by using slightly different tones.
The dark knight trilogy is masterpiece of filmmaking
@@lickenhuntsman5338rises is the worst
@@flowrepins6663Repectfully disagree, from my point of view this is the order from worst to best.
3. - Batman Begins
2.- The Dark Knight Rises
1.- The Dark Knight
Clarifying of course that all the Trilogy is marvelous
@@neylorr4715 what kind of psychopath ranks from worst to best with the numbers going backwards. I mean at this point you might as well put those numbers in order and do best to worst.
@@barnabasigari3109 Order worst to best is quite common here in Latin American Internet, like a RUclips top video. However, I never thought it would upset anyone.
If only I can watch this masterpiece for the first time again...
Never watched it in the cinema sadly, it may be my biggest regret.
I wasn’t allowed to watch this movie when I was younger
I’m waiting a good few years before I watch it again...
I wish I was able to watch this when it came out in the theaters I “sadly” first watched it in my theology class because we were learning about morality and morals are a huge part of this story.
Man I wish this was 01-01-08 again.
The voice change when he asks, "why so serious?" is bone chilling
RIP
I feel I get more intimated by the "Let's put a smile on that face" that delivery man. It's sometimes too good to be true.
if we really look closely at this scene, we can see that joker first "why so serious?" mean to be a serious notice for calling him freak at mob meeting. and for the second " why so serious?" when he look at the gambol man, joker show his side like telling other people " its not personal".
The way he looks past Gambon just before he does the deed.
Ice cold.
it's so deep it sounds straight from the devil
My father was... *A drinker* and a fiend
And one night, he goes off crazier than usual
Mommy gets the kitchen knife to defend herself
He does nt like that
NoT...ONE... *BIT!*
So, me watching, he takes the knife to her.. laughing while he does nt
He turns to me.. And he said
*_WhY So SeRioUs?!_*
He comes at me with the knife
*WHY SO SERIOUS?!!*
He sticks the blade in my mouth
_Let's Put A Smile On That Face...!_
And....
*WHY SO SERIOUS?!*

@@thanman6584 You're awful murray...
Look at his eyes when he’s talking to gamble..my goodness. Chilling is an understatement..you can tell Heath put his heart & soul into this role.
He really did put his sole into it.
Personally, I think he didn't play the Joker. He WAS the Joker.
His soul too.
@@supervilla06 I said soul lol
No you said sole. Soul is soul. Sole is sole.
Joker is an example of you don't need to be physically imposing or having infinity stones to be a great villain. Look at him, he's the devil in human flesh.
you got it right. Why do you think Heath died?
Why so serious?
He is necessary devil
Thanos needs no stones or physical imposition, his concept of perception alone makes him as great as well.
Suphawit Sunthornsittipong Joker’s philosophie is still understandable with the theorized origin that he was given and has a realistic solution. Thanos’ solution is unrealistic and stupid. IW is still good tho but not better than TDK, in my opinion.
I love how terrified Gambol is in this scene. He didn't take the Joker seriously and now he's completly at his mercy.

The phone Fox originally turned into security was a device to take out the security system and the phone Fox shows the guard is his actual phone so as to be able to leave the other 'phone' behind.
I mean he did take him seriously he tried to have him killed but u right joker caught him lacking
@@domenicmongillo484 He did not think Joker was a gifted planner who planned out every possible contingency. Joker was well prepared and read Gambol perfectly.

Why so serious? :intense beatboxing:
Here before it blows up
Why so serious
Yup
Just why
Why so serious?
Joker noticed that the last time he mentioned Gambol's grandmother, Gambol was very angry. He could tell that Gambol cared about his family, or maybe had a chip on his shoulder about it(insert potentially insensitive "black people no father" joke). So, when he meets Gambol again, he tells a backstory that is a corrupted version of "family".
Later, Joker knew from the start that Harvey had a romantic partner. He knew that Rachel and Harvey were in love. So, he tells Rachel a backstory that is a corrupted version of "love".
I wonder what backstory he was going to tell Batman.
That’s some new thought.
Great work deciphering it
@John Nada Actually, wasn't there some fan theory that Ledger's Joker is a war veteran? Someone who fought honorably for his nation turning into what he is now, that's definitely a twisted version of justice. And it would be fitting for him to tell his truth to Batman, since, you know, it's Batman and Joker.
He kinda told one in the interrogation room scene
@@kaiz1845 "You wanna know how I got these scars? I used to work spec ops. Couple of us got taken on the wrong side of the border. We're not supposed to be there, so there's no rush to get us back. We're in a hole for three years. Every now and then our captors get bored, and they take turns with us- in pairs; one guy forced to watch. One day it's my turn. They strap me down, but today it's different. He tells me to smile, says I should be happy they keep me alive. He laughs. He says: 'I'll make you smile.' Aand. Now I'm smiling."
@@kaiz1845 "Speaking of which, you know how I got these scars?"
"No, but I know you you got thes-"
"Ah ah ah, tut tut, please be so kind as to let me finish."
"Many years ago, I worked as a soldier. Strong, silent, and - *powerful.* Like you, just like you!
D Company (Force Recon), 1st Reconnaissance Battalion. Jarheads.
On a night like this, we're sent down into Afghanistan to take down a group of Taliban scumbags.
Now the operation - goes relatively smoothly. No one dies on our team, and anyone who survives is hog-tied and gagged, courtesy of me.
See, like you, I had a, uh, code. Just like yours. A silly, little, code. Never. Kill. Anyone, unless I absolutely, positively had to. And I was quite good at not killing anyone, believe me. I *captured* my enemies.
We round up all the, uh, *overzealous* gunmen and load 'em into a little truck we found. But, before we're about to head off, one of our guys spots a straggler running off.
Now, all of us, excepting me, are too tired and weary to chase after him. So, they send me. But even I can't catch up to him, so I decide to just let him go. I return to the guys, and the next morning we haul the captives away.
But the thing is, when on duty - you never, ever slack off. As we're driving to the extraction point along the worn dirt road, a dirty bomb deonates, catching us all off guard. A truckload of my comrades disappears in - *fire* and *asshhhhh.* And as for me, well, that's how I got these scars. Two pieces of shrapnel flew at my faces, sssllll *icing* both of my cheeks.
I fall to the ground, spent.
A while later, an old, white pickup truck shows up. One guy gets out - presumably the leader of the thugs, followed by another guy. But get this - it's the same guy I spared the night before.
So, me watching, he takes his gun to my crippled unit commander, laughing while he does it. He aims it at his head, and says these words to him - 'دلسوزی تو پایان تو بود - Your compassion was your end.'
Those scars - the mental ones *and* the cheek ones from the shrapnel I got to the face - stayed with me my entire life. And I never would've gotten them had I not refused to kill that man.
But now I have something going for me - now I see the bright side.
Now I'm always smiling."
Its a damn shame Ledger never got to see just how big of an impact he made...
Yeah I know. He would be one if not the biggest actor in the world. He'd be getting these dicaprio roles and what not. He'd definitely have his own Joker movie too. But in Heaven he definitely knows the impact he's had.
@@TiLL420 His own Joker movie? No offense intended, but THIS was "his own Joker movie." His death made this the most tragic example of accidentally "quitting while you're ahead."
That’s what being a druggie will get you
@@HipsterDoofus100 he was sick with the flu and accidentally od. Have some respect my guy.
@@Dylan-rn3is he od’d on flu medicine?? Hahahahaha right.
While Heaths performance is incredibly awesome and insane, I believe that Hans Zimmers score was a huge part of why this joker is so good
It wasn't the Joker than killed him, it was the suggestive musical cue.
Meh, Zimmers cue didn't get in the way.
Christopher Nolan and Hand Zimmer always go so well together
Zimmer said he wanted to make the score mirror the Joker's stories and mindset. Escalating the violin note to the point where it sounded like the string would break but never would.
The magic of Hans score is he made no heroic symphony batman is just 2 notes and joker is just 1 note. They both work so well and just enhanced the performance of the actors and made it so memorable.
15 years ago today, this fantastic film changed cinemas forever. The best trilogy we all know of today.
Most would say the original Star Wars trilogy was superior - even with the weaker ROTJ. Also, the Godfather trilogy - even with the weaker Part III.
Some other good trilogies on the lighter side of the movie studio > Toy Story and Naked Gun!!
@@jeffreym.8957 Lord of the Rings is the best trilogy of all time
I know one better - LOTR :)
But "The Dark Knight" is a masterpiece, no doubt.
@isaiahvoss no. This movie stands alone from its trilogy. The other trilogies are better as trilogies.
@@suur-turku7806 Batman Begins is a great detective movie. The Dark Knight is a great batman movie, and The Dark Knight Rises is a joke of a movie.
Heath ledger:Why so serious?
Joaquin phoenix:You wouldn't get it
Then they both start laughing maniacally
Cringe af
لا تشوف صورة قناتي shat the fuck up
Nashton Norton where do you get he was a war veteran all that is is a rumor. The reason Nolan didn’t give you anything about his origin is that’s the way he wanted to keep it Out of the movie-Joaquin phoenix his movie was the most overrated piece of shit movie I ever seen don’t even compare the two. And one more thing TDK was supposed to be a Batman movie and it ended up being a joker movie his performance was so good. And he stole the movie from three academy award winning actors. And I wonder if Joaquin I’m a nut case phoenix would’ve been able to do that if the movie wasn’t centered solely on him I doubt it
@@romcapprotti7477 your saying your not comoaring yet your comparing. They both are great. If phoenix gets the joker role with baan he will nailed i guess same goes to ledger. Both are marvelous. I guess some people cant understand the movie or like the movie but its unnecessary to degrades his talent. Oh no.
My father was . . . a drinker.
Little did I know he was thinking about the story.
Good catch!
Joker always makes his stories similar to those he’s talking to. He probably knows Gamble did not have a happy childhood and probably suffered abuse. So he picks at that and makes it into something terrifying to pull at his fears. The same with Rachel when he mentions him being in a couple etc. Secretly joker is very smart in how he talks. He understands interrogation and getting inside someones head (Batman). He can take your psyche and turn it on itself and thats what he tried to do to Gotham before Batman actually stopped him. But he did get Harvey to turn on himself and that in the end was all it took.
@@Fiendblack359 nice catch
@@Fiendblack359 why so serious?
Dinh Duy Manh he’s not secretly smart ... he’s insanely clever and has a vast knowledge of psychology especially
Imagine what that room looked like after "tryouts" were over.....
They might even killed the last one standing.
The Joker was letting one of the 3 guys walk out with redemption
Leaves alot to the imagination. :O
What do the tryouts mean? Would one dude actually be added to the Joker's squad? Or would they all be skewered to death?
Mauz yes but most likely would’ve killed the last guy who knows
0:27 in a way I respect Gambol for this bit. He doesn’t double cross the apparent murderers, rather keeps his word and offers them the $500000 reward he promised. This ties in with the mob bank manager saying “criminals in this town used to believe in things. Honour, respect.” Gambol is an example of that.
Yes but people like Gambol don't honor their word out of the goodness of their heart. In the criminal world news travels quickly and if you're the boss of an organization who's known for offering jobs then refusing to pay, or even worse killing the people hired to do the job?
Good luck getting anyone to take your jobs the next time you try to hire anyone, people don't like to work for guys who are known for scamming their workers. Honesty and keeping to your word (at least in a public situation like this, backstabbing happens all the time when they can get away with it) is the cost of doing business in that world.
Agreed, but ... seems to have worked for various politician/businessmen.
Like a social contract but for the underworld, in a way the seedy underbelly of society's fringes ironically mimics society itself - it's simply organization to progress the causes of a different interest group is all. And that's precisely why Joker resents and disdains it.
Yeah but you also have to think about the fact that, if 68,000,000 dollars was a "relatively small amount" for the mob, then a mere 500,000 was fucking PENNIES for Gambol to exchange for Joker's death.
Keeping the word is essential for business. Unless your business is cheating costumers n stuff but he is bigger fish with more serious stuff
If he hadn't died, I'm sure he would have been the Joker everytime
Awe
Yeah imagine Bane fighting with batman and joker laughing from behind. The dark knight rises could have been better than "the dark knight"
@@nishantkumar7232 yep
They straight up wrote a scene for him in an early draft of The Dark Knight Rises, but they decided to cut it out when he died.
They figured, since the Joker wasn't going to come back in a substantial capacity anyway, why recast him?
@@nishantkumar7232 would’ve been dope 🥺 .. he’s my favorite joker .
The Joker is literally in a trash bag and is still intimidating.
Hahaha I'm not the only one
what 🤔
that's the joker for ya
The feeling of fear knowing he could've move while still in a trash bag
*menacing*
I did believe his story until he told Rachel a different one.
His mouth has 2 different scars, from 2 different stories.
Justin Bettridge ok dude
The way he keep changing the story shows how unpredictable he is.
Joker is so crazy that he literally doesn't remember his own origin story. The only thing he does remembers is it was a bad day.
@@pyerack Yes, so painful it drove him crazy and he can't remember. At what point do we see that he remembers?
“Let’s put a smile on that face”!! Best joker line I’ve ever heard. 1:26
“ why so serious “ is better
He has so many good lines. Can’t pick one as his best.

I never noticed until now, at 0:30 he stabs those two dudes next to him.
Joe Murphy good catch me either
YA ! like i didnt even notice that especially i watch this movie thousand times and didnt know at one time lol
Yeah I’ve never noticed that
Joe Murphy that’s a small gripe I have with this movie as it shys away from the violence that it almost is a distraction where you don’t know what’s going on? It didnt need to be ultra violent just need to see what’s happening. I mean what did he do to boss guy? Cut his cheek open? Would you really die straight away from that?? And what about when the lau guy was on top of the money and tied up he burned? Was he burned alive? We don’t know?!
steven lindsay According to Michale Jai White who plays Gambol, the character’s cheek is cut like the the Joker’s. I would read the script online to confirm, though.
Joker: Our operation is small but there’s a lot of potential for *AGRESSIVE* expansion!
Also Joker: There’s only one spot open right now.
Huh...
Is there are the connection between those sentences?
Literally every job interview
@@WARUEL For ya'll to understand what he meant, you have to understand what aggressive expansion means in the first place.
Jake Branthe what does it mean so I can understand it
Theory:
But what if the two background stories on how he got his scares are both true. That when his father put the blade in his mouth and said "let's put a smile on that face." His father didn't actually do it, but it left a scar for him mentally. And when his wife got scars all over her face, it gave him the idea to carve a smile on his own face since his wife kept telling him that he needed to smile more. His father gave him the scar mentally, and he physically gave himself the scar for his wife. Both stories are true.
That does make some sense yeah I agree...kinda
I love this and it’s now my headcannon
plausible. He didn't slash this guy's cheek, he broke his neck.
I think he just adapts the story to his victims to intimidate them. He probably knew gamble had a bad childhood and used it against him. When he faced rachel he thinks of another story. You can even see him making up the story in this scene. My father was…… (thinks), a drinker
I don't think that was the intention tbh
This series is one of the best ever made. I want more
True
The best thing of Joker was he controlled his anger and used it in a manipulating way.we can see that in the meeting scene and in interrogation scene as well.
True!
YOO UR THE GUY FROM THE MADE FOR LOVING U SONG
Its a movie, not a series, numb nuts
Never really realized until now that from 0:42 - 0:46 Joker was thinking about a made up story about his father being a drinker and a fiend in order to falsify his reasoning behind the scars. Damn, what an unbelievably incredible performance by Ledger.
ebicgamermoment I think they were self inflicted but I don’t think it’s totally clear how he go them, but I could be wrong
Joseph McLaughlin I was honestly thinking the same thing
Derek Burgoyne we never know that? He tells two stories. This one could be the real one!
I have to look it up but i believe both stories have to do with the victims, not himself
ebicgamermoment It’s like Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker but they didn’t want Phoenix to put scars in his face
The music is just.. so unsettling, petrifying, incredibly tense and suspenseful, I love it. One of my favorite parts about this scene is the Why So serious soundtrack. Not to mention this scene and the acting of itself is very scary as well- felt so uncomfortable watching it the first time
The soundtrack to this film captivates me still. In my opinion, it's my favorite work of Zimmer's by far. The only thing that comes close is Lion King.

What made the joker so terrifying was he had no superpowers he was like a lot of dangerous people walking the streets of every city unnoticed but he could manipulate people with mind games he just wanted to watch the world burn
Joker >> The Batman >>>> The dark knight trilogy >>>>> Marvel
no, he was the one who put gotham together, remember all the crime bosses? with the mega ton of money? yeah, the Joker burned it all, and the white knight? he replaced him with someone even better, when he says he has "no plan" he's joking, like a joker, he's never serious with his words, though he's somehow always inhumane in ways, one with no backstory, we don't even know how he got his scars
His superpower was his understanding of human psychology. He knew EXACTLY how to get his desired response from anyone
What the Joker has is a talent for HUMINT (some have suggested that the character's backstory included time in the military). Just the mob boss meeting scene tells us a lot. First, apparently he had sussed out in advance where the meeting was going to be and hid inside before anyone else got there because goons were screening everybody at the door. We know he was close enough to be able to hear them talk before revealing himself because when he said "And the suit? It wasn't cheap..." he was reacting to Maroni's earlier comment that the Joker was a "two-bit whack job - wears a cheap purple suit and makeup" and he heard the continued conversation or he wouldn't have been in a position to tell the group that Lau's ("the television's") plan would result in Lau squealing because Lau was vulnerable to being picked up by Batman even if he were in Hong Kong. The Joker knew who Gambol was on sight, and knew enough about his personality to successfully bait him into trying to have the Joker brought to him dead or alive (why bother seeking out Gambol to knock him off when Gambol wants the Joker to come to him?). It's just an example of the storycraft brought into this movie.
The Joker's unpredictability and lack of remorse also added to his terrifying nature. He was willing to do anything to achieve his goals, no matter how cruel or inhumane. His maniacal laughter and twisted sense of humor only heightened his villainy, creating a sense of unease and fear in those who crossed his path. Additionally, his complex relationship with Batman, who often struggled with his own moral code when facing the Joker, added to the sense of dread surrounding the character. Overall, the Joker's lack of boundaries and his willingness to push the limits of sanity and morality made him one of the most terrifying villains in comic book history.
This Joker performance was next level,. Aggressive expansion, he wasn't lying about that lol
He said aggressive expansion and I saw your comment lol
Yeah great acting and great writing
+wildbeast
great writing ?
uhh .. but this scene alone is problematic ... why would the black guy collapse from a slice to his mouth, its not a fatal wound ... wouldn't he be screaming in pain instead of fainting or dying immediately ?

The knife was last shown inside the mouth ... not the throat.
(even if he sliced the man's throat, he still would not collapse like that, he should have been shown painfully grabbing his throat to stop the bleeding while struggling to breath ...)

Heath Ledger was the best joker and you cant change my mind
but nobody wants to change their mind.
Nobody would dare try to change your mind because they would be factually incorrect.
@FoxRNG yeah Mark Hamill hardly counts because he only ever did the voice of joker. Also while Phoenix may have done a good job he's still pales in comparison to Heath ledger.
@FoxRNG everything you just said is wrong just because Mark Hamill did a bunch of voice acting it doesn't mean anything because all he did was voice actor for the joker And in regards to Joaquin Phoenix while he was a good actor he did not play The joker better than Heath ledger. That version of The joker wasn't even the joker that we know and Love.
@FoxRNG stop trying to be a contrarian douche bag we get it you want to be different.
This has to be without a doubt one of the most iconic scenes in movie history. Legendary

Every joker scene in dark knight is iconic
It's absolutely insane how effortless he makes this look. The voice, the accent, everything. He absolutely is the Joker and is a completely different person. In real life everyone who knew Heath would say he was one of the most gentle, kind people that they've ever met. I think we have gotten so used to knowing Heath Ledger as the Joker that we've forgotten he was also in Brokeback Mountain, A Knight's Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You. After watching these and then re-watching the Dark Knight (with the whole world doubting him at that point). You can see how phenomenal of an actor he is here proving us all wrong. The Joker is literally the complete opposite of Heath Ledger. Legendary performance.
Heath Ledger will always be remembered for his incredible talent, and his portrayal of the Joker will always be a shining example of his abilities as an actor. His legacy will continue to live on through his unforgettable performances, and he will always be remembered as one of the greats.
I remember when this movie first came out.....and I swear this movie gets better and better each time I watch it
I watched this as a kid. Never felt too scared to watch it, it was just too epic. Now as an adult I can decipher and give more thought into this masterpiece
I just noticed this: when the Joker is telling his story, he emphasizes the "T" sound in "bit" like he did when when he told Gamble "no, I'm noT" at the original gangster meeting.
I always loved the "No I'm not. No I'm noT."
That's one of his nervous/psychotic breaks showing, he only pronounces t's and d's like that when Joker is angry or upset.
@AK An Oscar-nominated actor like him doesn’t just do things by accident or “coincidence.” Everything is done on purpose.
You'll notice even voldemort does this in deathly hallows part 2
Why are you overlooking such small detail? Lmao
I remember being 11 years old when my ma took the family and me to see this movie hearing how good it was. That orchestra hit right after the last "why so serious" left me all tensed up, and from that scene forward I got the chills every time I saw a scene with Joker. What an impact
How old are you now

The Dark Knight was released in 2008. This is 2022. So since he was 11 you add 14 to get 25.

Seeing this in theaters as a kid is an experience that I’ll never forget
I love how hes making the story up on the fly. The Joker is constantly looking up and thinking of new ways to intimidate and manipulate tbe story into his favor. This performance is one of a few in recemt memory that is absolutely perfect in every way shaoe and form.
Man, Ledger had fun with this role.
Exactly. And people think he died because of this
Gaby A. A. F. well he did put himself under a lot of stress to pull off this role, it could have easily contributed to his decline
he deprived himself of sleep for a really long time and a whole bunch of other things in order to make himself seem crazier
Jin Sakai i’m pretty sure he was sleep deprived before tdk
He had so much fun he died
One aspect of the Joker's character overshadowed by his manic personality was his unexpected physical abilities. His "magic trick" with the pencil required quickly overpowering a much bigger opponent, and him quickly stabbing the two men on either side of him as he rose from the bag in this scene required real skill. That, with his ability to take a severe beating from the Batman and continue talking to him, is pretty formidable.
Dang I never even noticed Joker stabbing them until you pointed it out, good catch!
Oh Like The way he Treats siblings 2:06 Don't Be Slow now , Aw A&W RootBeer , and I thought M.Robbie & j.Leto were Good to D.Rodman bar scene COVID no shaking hands ; what they Get For not wearing a jackNicholson Clown BowTie I Prophesize , give 'em each A piece O'DeBean , Pi , Halo beany Cut , on their heads
The actor that played Gambol said on an enterterview that his character wasn't supposed to die. They shot a scene where Joker just cut him leaving a smiling scar on the left side of his face. But they cut it out last minute. I guess that's why Gambol's death looks a bit weird.
It actually doesn’t make much sense at all story wise, I mean this jokers not really the vengeful type in the normal sense. He likes to play with people and it makes more sense that he would leave Gambol with scars. But I guess they thought this looked a lot cooler and thinking on it, I feel like it would’ve been weird to see Gambol after this scene. He would’ve held no relevance to the story
@@shoazdon7000 how did that kill him
"The actor that played Gambol" His name is Michael Jai White, put some respect on his name. Lol
@@H.K.5 frr, he’s a hella good martial artist
@@godlovesyou1622 Apparently, a slashed cheek can kill you due to shock.
My god, watching these scenes still gives me chills all these years later. I often have a hard time saying which movies are my favourites of within specific genres. But, irrespective of genre, this is my ALL-TIME favourite movie, hands down. I love the dark questions that are entertained; no fluff, no pampering of the audience. Just savage, brutal and beautiful, all rolled into one.
Heath Ledger: My Father Was A Drinker
Jack Nicholson: I Like Him Already
Joaquin Phoenix: I'll tell you what you get. You get what you fucking deserve.
AAA n ehe LMAOOOO STOP 💀💀
Zach Galifianakis: I'm the mother fucking Joker for kids.
@BUZZLIGHTYEAR99 door laughing
Now I'm imagining Jack Nicholson as the Joker's father.
"Now, our operation is small but there's alot potential for... aggressive expansion"
Love the way heath walks and acts here, such a boss at it! It still blows my mind how good his voice is during this delivery

Heath Ledger’s Joker is the most terrifying Joker. The way he says “why so serious?” is spine-chilling. There’s just something about Joker not screaming that makes him even more terrifying. Outstanding performance by Heath Ledger. He was a legend and he will never be forgotten.
It's heartbreaking to think about the fact that Ledger's life was cut short, as he clearly had so much more to offer the world of cinema. But his performance as the Joker will always stand as a testament to his incredible skill as an actor. He truly gave everything he had to this role, and the result is a performance that will forever be remembered as one of the greatest in cinematic history.
Just cant get over this movie even after so many years. This is just pure cinematic greatness
It leaves so much juice to the imagination, like the Joker's true origin story.
I'll always remember how this was the ONLY movie my dad took me to see in theaters and actually stayed awake all the way through it was so good
The casting of the guy on 1:44 is really good, he has a little bit of madness in his eyes just like Joker.
He's the most intense henchman the whole scene lol
@@KabirdixHe was excited to be working with Joker lmao
@@style_hedgehogI would be too he’s funny asf 😂
0:45 is perfect. "Why so feinious?"
dave mustard
Joaquin was amazing but Heath was terrifying in the role and was so powerful it felt like he had far more than 43 mins of screen time.
That's actually a lot of screen time
i mean... considering the role he plays, thats still not alot of screen time. if anything 1/2 would be more sensible than 1/3 lol
Krish SINHA [11R13] tf is your problem lol
Krish SINHA [11R13] damn that’s not a lot tho? Lmao
To me Ledger's Joker was the inspiration for the Phoenix ' one
Once you see the later scene where he’s making up a completely different story, you see the genius behind this moment. Nolan took the “multiple choice past” quote from The Killing Joke and gave it his own unique spin.
George Liapes the Joker works better as a character when his backstory is unknown
giving him an origin story takes away his mystique
@@rinzler1801 multiple backstories makes him sound when more insane, so insane he can't even remember his past right or simply refuses not to
@@detectivepayne3773 All are true. He was a person with a terrible childhood likely with a miltary dad who went crazy. This is hinted as he disarmed and attacked the mother. Then, he escaped or (killed) the dad note how he mentions "was" a drinker. Hinting he got rid of him. Then he himself joined the miltary and upon coming back couldn't bear losing his wife making him loose his mind as reference "all it takes is one bad day" for a man to snap
2:00 Try-outs. Joker is a genius HR manager.
lmao
tommy tommy Here is a third story about his scares it gives a lot more perspective on the joker and about his backstory

Who won? Did they show up later in the movie?

Looks like KSI lmao
For being a mafia boss his security really was awful
Suspension of disbelief.
He literally told the world he had a bounty on the Joker's head. He was expecting someone to bring him in in a body bag.

I like how at 0:30 joker stabs the both dudes and uses them to lift himself up
Hax
That's a good catch
James Pyles it didn’t disappear he stabbed him then left it in his chest
Holy shiiiiit I neverrrr knew that
Wow I never realized that, I’ve watched this movie at least a thousand times and I’ve never noticed that
What if Joker doesn't actually remember how he got those scars?
Greta Thu'umberg he makes it up like he did in this scene duh.
He does, but you wouldnt get it
Simple he buys some makeup from a drug store.
To quote the man himself, “if you’re gonna have a backstory, you’re better off making it multiple choice.”
@@pyerack I think it was _literally_ a painful memory, dude.
when bro take a hit of that evil jonkler cart
The thing about heath’s joker is that you can’t really see ‘heath’ through all that make up. All you see is the character directly.
It's so true, I love it.
If you focus on his face long enough you can see it. Tbh the average person doesn't stare at his face for 10+ minutes.
even without the makeup - you would have no idea it was him. Thats what makes this performance incredible.
All I see is RDJ
I always find myself staring at him trying to see Heath. It takes real concentration.
CHILLS. I remember seeing this opening night and the audience reactions were nothing I heard before.
"So dead, that's 500"
*wakes up* "How about alive?"
"A million!"
"You wanna know how I got these scars?"
"No"
"My father was...a drinker-"
*"Enough from the clown!"*
It's simple, we kill the Batman's grandma.

I wonder what Joker does in his free time. Does he live in an apartment and casually recruit street punks? Does he wear that makeup all the time? Does he go shopping and buy food every once in a while, which I guess he would like candies...
In the comics he was quite fond of pink cotton candy.
@@QoQabai658 That explains his behaviour. Sugar rush 24/7
@@QoQabai658 well in Frank Miller's The Dark Knight Return he sells poison cotton candy to kids in a circus.

When I first saw this scene at the cinema I remember thinking "Hey! Isn't the Joker supposed to lack a clear origin story?" but Ledger's delivery was so incredibly sinister that I just went along with it. But then came the scene where he tells his wife's story and holy shit! The entire theatre went wild with excitement at this masterpiece of a character.
