JOKER Dance Scenes - Joaquin Phoenix vs Ray Bolger (The Old Soft Shoe 1957) Comparison Video

Just for fun. I had read that Joaquin and Todd Phillips were inspired by this video to create the Joker's dancing moves, so decided to put together a little comparison video.

Nice to see an oldie/goodie brought back as inspiration for a popular film like Joker

Joker was amazing but love that old cinema influences modern filmmaking

Very cool video. Thanks for making this. I learned about Joaquin and his choreographer’s inspiration behind Joker’s movement and wanted to see what it was all about. There’s certainly similarities in the free floating, care free nature of both movements

Thank you, I'm glad you appreciated it! The inspiration is definitely there

The OG Scarecrow and the Joker!
Inspired perhaps but JP isn't a dancer.

[@MsTtilly]

Wait until you hear the haunting Cello music that accompanied JP... Enchanting, and graceful - regardless of JP's dance skills 😊

Talk about the ultimate reach. Not even close dude

[@ckellyedits]

Joaquin literally said it was his inspiration for the scene, so......

[@TMichelle555]

It was mentioned in the behind the scenes that they took direct inspiration from ray bolger
