Any sigma males watching? Genuinely loved this though, one of the best DC films easily. Is this performance better than Heath Ledgers? For more exclusive content: www.patreon.com/SebScreen
I personally think this film is masterpiece. A genuinely enthralling and terrifyingly sad thing to watch. To watch him become the Joker just to be acknowledged and seen and to be able to effect change in the world. Great commentary on society and mental health.
Agree 100%! I never felt so involved in a movie. Never had such a visceral reaction. Masterpiece. So glad Joaquin finally got an Oscar (even though he doesn't like awards). And Hildur's score is absolutely phenomenal. This will be a classic.
Watching it in the theaters was so intense, it felt as if you were sitting in the same room as Arthur in every scene. the interview with his doctor, the bathroom scene, him contemplating suicide back stage... it almost felt intrusive
Fun fact.. Hildur Guðnadóttir, the composer of the incredible score in this film (she won the Oscar for it) wrote much of it from reading the script alone. The director played a recording of The Bathroom Dance song and Phoenix, with no further instructions just went completely into the character and improvised the whole scene on the spot.
Yes! Initially, the public bathroom scene was written as Arthur panicking and trying to figure out what his next move would be but Phoenix and Phillips realized it wasn't working. Phillips had just received the piece from Hildur Guðnadóttir that day and decided to play it and Phoenix improvised the dance. Movie magic.
I think you are correct that The Joker doesn’t actually have an origin story! Which is why it’s so cool that every time they make a new one, it’s a different version/take on it, and it’s cool to see what new “back story” they’ll give him!
I feel the same way. Even in The Dark knight you see how he changes his story to be relatable to the person he's telling it to. When talking to Gambol (who freaked out when he mentioned his mother) he makes the story about his dad beating his mother. When talking to Rachel (a woman he calls beautiful and works for the justice department) he makes it about his wife losing her beautiful appearance to being cut by gangsters. And here he tells a story to psychiatrists about how it's caused by mental issues.
@@AshleyGarcia-ck2ki I mean you're not incorrect, I feel like It's a yes and a no kinda. He does have an origin story, but it's just on how he became the Joker and that's it. We don't know his actual name, his actual backstory, his family, it's just he fell into a vat of acid and that's it.
All the writers of the various runs of any Batman comic were given the ok by DC to change the Joker origin story. At first it was just because they did not pay attention to continuity but it became a running thing with the Joker. At any one time there may be a number of different origin stories for the Joker that he tells. The writers see this as proving the fact that the Joker is not in control of his own mental capacity. You can never trust the Joker as a narrator.
It's a great film but so harrowing to watch. I've only been able to watch it twice - once in theaters and once on home media - because it's such a distressing movie. It manages to shine a light on how mental illness has historically been poorly addressed in society. People struggling with their mental health end up getting stigmatized and marginalized because mental illness is misunderstood and has often not been considered a "real" sickness deserving of the same kid of attention as physical illnesses. So the common response is to either ignore it, heavily over-medicate them, or lock them away in psych wards or institutions because they just don't wanna deal with the issue. It is particularly worse for those who are also impoverished, as they can fall victim to government-provided mental health services that are subject to insufficient funding and budgetary cuts. So people who truly need real help can't get it simply because they can't afford it, and people like Arthur Fleck can fall through the cracks and become a danger to themselves and others. The film just manages to frame these issues within the origin story of one of the most infamous villains in fiction.
yes it is hard to watch (in a good way) because they deliver it very well. i want to cry when i watch it, the feels hit hard especially if you have depression, or even just stress.
That scene when he dances in the bathroom was improvised by Joaquin Phoenix. One of the most memorable scenes in this movie, representing the start of his change. The perfect actor for a caracter like this
The Joker is a very rare comic book charater whose origin was never really revealed. Yes there are several versions that exists, but it is known that the Joker is pathological liar and whatever backstory he tells people, it has never been the same. Thats what made him so diabolically mysterious because no one truly knows.
@@ilyassebenana3824 I think hes talking more about the weight gain. Bale filmed the machinist just before batman begins and the weight gain was massive.
Joaquin phoenix really killed it on this movie, and how some of those scenes where not scripted he was just being himself and improvising it and it was just amazing. Like the bathroom scene he was supposed to just wash his hands and face while looking at the mirror but he decided to do that freaky dance. And when he was being announced at that studio scene they were so many takes of so many ways he was coming out so it’s just a show that he doesn’t follow the script rules he just does his own thing and it’s amazing. Loved your reaction to this movie Seb it was worth the wait ^^
Fun fact… when he says “I forgot to punch out” and smashed the box. He wasn’t actually meant to do that so when he did he nearly broke his hand and all the reactions to it were real 🙌🏼
As someone with a tic disorder, that scene where he’s “laughing” on the busses and the train just hurt to watch, I’ve never taken public transport but I’ve always been worried about shit like that happening.
Any interpretation of the Joker origin is valid because…there is no true origin story. There were stories about him being raised by an abusive father who beat him, but as far as childhood, there’s no real back story. His criminal origin has various different characters, though. He’s actually a version of a character in a novel called “the man who laughs” and was just a mix of dark personalities.
@@The_Phantasm It’s your first time watching a movie inspired by other movies? Well guess what, most movies are inspired by other movies. Another good example, The Batman is inspired by a lot of movies and that doesn’t take away from how good the movie is.
Joaquin Phoenix really is one of the best actors around today. He puts in so much work with his performances and understands the characters he plays on a fundamental level.
I love how he mentally prepared this movie as a normal DC super hero movie with some comedy planted in, then half way through he realizes that this movie is way darker and deeper than just a popcorn super hero movie, and he also looks more serious than him in the begining.
There is a very small comic by Alan Moore called "Batman the Killing Joke" that tells the canonical backstory of the Joker. Reading takes 20 minutes, but leaves a lot of emotions. So you can read this.
@@AT32556 Yep jokers origin story before he was the joker, it’s definitely multiple choice, actually it really has no right answers. The main canon backstory of how he became the joker is usually he was fighting Batman and fell into a Vad of chemicals, even this isn’t always the same but it is the most canon
18:24 there is no canon joker backstory, ever since his debut he just came out of nowhere as some crazy villain and most of the time he just makes up his own origins Also he was original supposed to die in the first comic but he became such a fan favorite that the writers decided to find a way to bring him back, and the rest is history
Nominated for 10 Oscars including Best Picture but won for Actor and Beat original Score It was the first DC Movie to be nominated for all categories It made $1 billion dollars at the box office.
I love how this movie touches a lot on mental illness and society's indifference to those affected by it. It just goes to show that not treating the mentally ill with concern or any kind of compassion can cause a break in a person's psyche and create something similar to what Arthur became in the end, in this case, Joker
I remember when this movie came out and when I was about to watch it with my friend my mom informed me that some people went crazy after watching this movie . And she told me to be careful and not get too into the movie. like the criminal in Japan that just shot a bunch of bullets on a train full of people on Halloween back in October of 2021 just because he was a huge fan of Joker so he decided to become like him. He even dressed up as Joker when he did it.
People don't go crazy because of a movie, them people have underlying issues and usually have been mentally corrupted at youth, probably suffer with certain issues and mental health was most likely already on the decline, movies, games, music do not make people violent, people make people violent. This movie is a beautiful display of the agony and pain people with mental health issues go through, it is quite possible said mentally unwell people could idealise it as themselves but again, that isn't because of the movie, those people were already unstable.
Yo Seb, here are some Phoenix suggestions for ya: - Walk the Line - You Were Never Really Here - Her - Don’t Worry, He Won’t Ger Far On Foot - The Master - Her All above are masterclasses in acting
He is really good in Gladiator. And Hans Zimmer's soundtrack for Gladiator id one of the most beautiful things i've ever heard. Literally want that to play in my funeral 80 years from here
This is perhaps the best portrayal of The Joker ever; He's such a sad and lonely character, who just snaps. So many of us are a thread away from giving up and just going crazy.
In the end when Joker tells her therapist that you wouldn't get it, it was foreshadowing that she will be dead before she hears the joke.Period. "Masterpiece"
Joker: Sometimes I remember it one way and sometimes another, if I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice, my point is, I WENT CRAZY!
The dance bathroom scene Arthur chips away at the mask throughout the movie, revealing his true identity, his shadow persona, which is Joker, the person he was meant to be. The bathroom dance is one of the first chipping away at the mask, where we feel Joker emerging
I never fell in love with a murderer before until now. Joachim's performance melted my heart. He was so pathetic you just wanted to save him. He deserved the Oscar that he got for this role. 👍
This film is an absolute masterpiece. It's touches on such deep and difficult themes and delivered so well! From the acting to the perfect shots to the music, definitely one of my favourites!
They said when Joaquin was making this movie all he ate was a apple a day. The Murray Franklin show was based off the The Dark Knight Returns Cartoon movie.
Joaquin Phoenix is someone who is such a good actor he hand picks his roles. And I ly does ones he can get passionate about. He had no idea who the joker was. He just read the script and said. This is an amazing role. His brother was the real actor out of the two. But he died early on from a drug overdose. After that Joaquin ended up playing his brother in a movie about his brothers life and death. It really screwed with Joaquin's mind state. And after coming out the other side was and is arguably one of the best actors of all time. Also the Joker, is more of an idea. A mindset. Because in several different comics all taking place in what has been confirmed to be the multiverse (dc did it first on screen btw) the joker is like a different person with a different origin story in every Batman. And is usually depicted as being like 15 to 20 years older then the Batman sometimes more. The joker is truly a versatile character in terms of origin, mystery and madness.
I watched this on my 21st birthday and what an amazingly uncomfortable birthday that was. This film is a masterpiece from the score to the cinematography. And of course the acting
I really really liked your reaction!~ thanks again Seb for a nice watching together. Don't know if you gonna see it, but I recommend 'Shutter Island' for you. It's gonna blow your mind. Personally my top-3 films of all time
Can you imagine seeing Patterson Batman beating this Joker to a bloody pulp rated r style. It's like thats what all the people who wanted Joaquin Joker in Reeves Batman movie want to see, which is proper demented : P
@@The_Phantasm Don't you have literally anything better to do than to go to everyone's comment who enjoyed this movie and force your opinion down their throat? Like for real bruh relax
As a comedy writer I really think I could have helped the Joker with his material. Knock, Knock. Who's there? Little boy Blue. Little boy Blue who? Michael Jackson.
Seb you MUST watch the Gladiator, but make sure you're watching the extended edition! There's a wonderful scene with Phoenix that was cut and that I'm sure will remind you of Joker.
I love your reactions !! But since I'm not an English native speaker, it would really help me if you considered watching the movies with subtitles on... It would be awesome of you to do so !
I've seen a lot of movies in my time, and there are very few that manage to make me feel a kind of unease and almost physical discomfort the way this one does. And absolutely fantastic movie, but definitely a very difficult watch.
Have you seen any of the following? 1) We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011) 2) Single White Female (1992) 3) The Machinist (2004) 4) Elephant (2003) 5) American Psycho (2000) 6) At Close Range (1986) 7) Funny Games (1997) 8) Natural Born Killers (1994) 9) SE7EN (1995) 10) The Cell (2000) 11) One Hour Photo (2002)
From the way things are stated in the script, Arthur has music within him. It could very well be that all the music we hear in the film is also playing within his own head.
If you want to see dedication to losing weight for a role check out Christian Bale in The Machinist,then immediately after that film he bulked up massively for Batman Begins,talk about dedication!
The Graphic novel "The Killing Joke" written by Alan More, and is arguably considered the official back story of the Joker. I think this has taken bits of influences from different Graphic novels/comics, "The Killing Joke" being one of them.
That is the thing, even in the comics there's actually no canonical beginning of the Joker. It keeps changing but the main theme is based off of one bad day .. one bad day can make somebody into something they aren't. Other than that they keep telling us we're getting the origin of the Joker and they change it all the time it's because we'll never really get actual origin, so the movie plays right into it
In terms of comics the movie takes some inspiration from Batman: The Killing Joke, but it also takes inspiration from a lot of other movies and stories as well as the writers' own ideas.
This movie is a masterpiece. I’m not a huge fan of DC characters outside of Aquaman and Wonderwoman but I really enjoy what they did with this character. Yeah, first time watching it is very difficult to figure out what’s real and what’s in his head sometimes. I think it’s representative of maladaptive daydreaming at its worst and most intense. He can’t handle reality so these daydreams are part of his escape from it. It’s unhealthy but it helped him deal with it to a certain extent.
Any sigma males watching? Genuinely loved this though, one of the best DC films easily.
Is this performance better than Heath Ledgers?

2:47 Yes it is. It's called the pseudobulbar affect, or PBA for short. Essentially it means bouts of sudden involuntary laughing or crying.
This is perhaps the best portrayal of The Joker ever; He's such a sad and lonely character, who just snaps.

@@The_Phantasm it's called an opinion and to each his own, how would you feel about someone judging your for your favorite movie like you did
Two of my other favorite movies with Phoenix is Gladiator and Walk The Line
As a comedy writer I really think I could have helped the Joker with his material. Knock, Knock. Who's there? Little boy Blue. Little boy Blue who? Michael Jackson.
Agreed, now that one would have even made Murray himself laugh
The part before Murray gets shot.. THAT chilling music with the drums 🥁.. I believe influenced by The Shining. - C

There are a lot of Joker's origin story in the comics and in the movies but none of them are canon
Christian Bale's transformation from the the time between The Machinist and Batman Begins. Holy moly.
Joaquin Phoenix is really good is ‘Her’ I’d recommend watching it!
my man waited all his life to watch every movie up to this point
Seb, you have to watch the movie "Signs". It was this actor and mel gibson. Its also an alien movie. Masterpiece
Seb you MUST watch the Gladiator, but make sure you're watching the extended edition! There's a wonderful scene with Phoenix that was cut and that I'm sure will remind you of Joker.
YES you need to watch Gladiator too!
I love your reactions !! But since I'm not an English native speaker, it would really help me if you considered watching the movies with subtitles on... It would be awesome of you to do so !
I've seen a lot of movies in my time, and there are very few that manage to make me feel a kind of unease and almost physical discomfort the way this one does. And absolutely fantastic movie, but definitely a very difficult watch.
Have you seen any of the following?
1) We Need To Talk About Kevin (2011)
2) Single White Female (1992)
3) The Machinist (2004)
4) Elephant (2003)
5) American Psycho (2000)
6) At Close Range (1986)
7) Funny Games (1997)
8) Natural Born Killers (1994)
9) SE7EN (1995)
10) The Cell (2000)

“Obviously, nobody deserves to get shot, but YEAH KILL EM “ 😂😂 Love ya Seb 😂
From the way things are stated in the script, Arthur has music within him. It could very well be that all the music we hear in the film is also playing within his own head.
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece
If you want to see dedication to losing weight for a role check out Christian Bale in The Machinist,then immediately after that film he bulked up massively for Batman Begins,talk about dedication!
His laughing thing is a condition he has called Pseudobular Effect it’s due to traumatic brain injury.
Almost at 100K subscribers! You deserve it all dude. Always looking forward to your content. Keep up the good work!
IVE BEEN WAITING ON THIS FOREVER!!!
3:18 yes his name is the ratcatcher he’s a Batman villain
17:23 Bruh I thought that was a wall of double chests behind you. I guess this is what shitty sleep caused by a kitten does to you.
The Graphic novel "The Killing Joke" written by Alan More, and is arguably considered the official back story of the Joker. I think this has taken bits of influences from different Graphic novels/comics, "The Killing Joke" being one of them.
The movies Gladiator, The Master, and Her are fantastic films on their own but honestly worth watching for Phoenix’s performances alone.
you laughing, this poor man laughs involuntarily and you laughing
Yes... the DC rat villain is called The Ratcatcher, he is basically the pied piper.
You missed the bloody footprints in the final scene from the blood of the doctor he killed after he was arrested.
I got to be an extra on this movie. It was an awesome experience
If you enjoyed Joaquins acting check out his Johnny Cash movie "Walk the Line" Its fantastic and i dont see any reaction channels doing it
That is the thing, even in the comics there's actually no canonical beginning of the Joker. It keeps changing but the main theme is based off of one bad day .. one bad day can make somebody into something they aren't. Other than that they keep telling us we're getting the origin of the Joker and they change it all the time it's because we'll never really get actual origin, so the movie plays right into it
I promise u Seb if u witnessed the bloody smile scene in the theaters in 2019 u would’ve had chills all over ur bones
In terms of comics the movie takes some inspiration from Batman: The Killing Joke, but it also takes inspiration from a lot of other movies and stories as well as the writers' own ideas.
A masterpiece
@@The_Phantasm agreed. It was an ok movie but nowhere near a masterpiece.
Joaquin is an amazing actor! You should watch Her and The Master.
This movie is a masterpiece. I’m not a huge fan of DC characters outside of Aquaman and Wonderwoman but I really enjoy what they did with this character.
Yeah, first time watching it is very difficult to figure out what’s real and what’s in his head sometimes. I think it’s representative of maladaptive daydreaming at its worst and most intense. He can’t handle reality so these daydreams are part of his escape from it. It’s unhealthy but it helped him deal with it to a certain extent.
