andrea russett I don’t think he did, but if he did I think he did it only because he thought she wanted him to. Whenever she makes the gun sign to him he may have misinterpreted that and thought that’s what she wanted. But my theory is he didn’t kill her because throughout the film he dances after he kills. And he doesn’t dance whenever he leaves her apartment
It hit me HARD too. I've got a soft spot for when innocent people (or pets) get abused, and this scene felt like a gut punch. A poor guy just trying to make a living getting robbed and beaten while nobody around helps....that'll stick with me.
@@flyingchimp12 so do you just sit there and watch movies completely expressionless? Never get pumped up during an action sequence? Never laugh at comedies?
One of the things I loved about this film is how “busy” it was in the background. There were so many scenes where you could hear so much going on in the background, whilst Arthur was completely silent. It’s such a good expression of how chaotic Arthur’s mind was.
Or maybe it was just busy and Arthur was just thinking. I'm thinking your another fooking idiot with too much to say with too little evidence to show, prove me wrong?
Todd says that the tear happened only in one shot people, not in the first. So maybe they took like 8 shots of the same scene and only in one you have the tear. Remarkable.
@@iceberg4736 I don't think there will be a director's cut because the Theatrical version is the one Todd Phillips decided was the best cut of the film. However, I too would like to see an extended edition to see all the scenes that were cut.
@@grantleesback6458 In any case, I'm surely interested in seeing it again & probably getting the blu-ray edition when it's available, because as a character study it's amazing. And to think reviewers wanted people to miss out on a movie like this for their own selfish reasons. No wonder why Joker said they wouldn't get the joke.
@@mannyb332211 Yes, it was definitely poorly shot. If the Director didn't point it out, I think none of us would've gotten that small movement while the camera is panning out.
K K certainly true that this joker gave us humanity, but the Killing Joke is based on a Joker with humanity as well. I’d also argue that there is a certain level of struggle in Leto’s Joker, although not as prominent.
Because this is not a story about joker, but about how a man becomes the joker. The most chilling part is that there is no joker, yet he can be all of us
"I feel like you never really know somebody until you see them run"--that's actually a really interesting idea. I never would've thought of that, but it kinda makes sense
@@manee9110 Well, Joaquin Phoenix's Joker run is sort of haphazard; contrast that with the way an action hero typically runs in a straight, focused way. When you're forced to sprint, are your movements controlled? Desperate? Smooth? Graceful? Fierce? If Phoenix ran like an Olympic sprinter you'd feel a lot less sorry for him; his movements speak to his lifestyle and state of mind.
@@RhiannahMay97 The shoes don't really matter when you look at the entire movie. He runs like that all along. He is desperate and you can feel it everytime.

Also when he plays with the kid in the bus, or when he does the magic trick to Bruce Wayne, he isn't a bad man. He just wants to be respected now, he just wants people to stop laughing at him. This portrait of the Joker was just amazing. He isn't a comic book character, he is a broken individual.
@@carliiuxiiz ehhh but the killing joke has like five different backstories all running through eachother, the joker specifically says that "if i'm going to have a story, it might as well be multiple choice" That's the entire thesis of who joker is, he's not supposed to have an origin. And even after this movie he STILL doesn't have an origin. Todd very cleverly twisted and bent the story to still make it so we have no clue who arthur REALLY is, he is not arthur. He is someone else entirely.
it seems you do not watch quality movies or your preferences are very specific. Countless directors put much thought into their filming, its not only a matter of idea's, its also a matter of execution. While the director is obviously vital, he does not normally take the whole project into his own hands.
Todd proved himself to be a great director. Fully commited. Phoenix is just insane and hypnotic as Joker. I hope this gets Golden Globe and Oscar noms. Totally deserves it.
@@stevengonz agreed, Bohemian Rhapsody won 4 oscars and was bashed by critics. With Joker being the absolute masterpiece that it is, I'm certain it will win big!
Joker is already a classic. Actually, after every movies Joaquin acted in, the movie became masterpiece and his related character became Joaquin's career-defining role. Walk the Line, We Own the Night, Gladiator, The Yards, Two Lovers, Her, The Master or now Joker. Amazing actor that has still many astonishing things to provide us with and that's great news.
Gladiator is one of my favorite films. The movies that try to portray real people like Walk the line always let me down because I always have the image of the real person it's about in my mind and never completely fall into the movie. With that said I still think it was a good movie and I think Joaquim Phoenix is a great actor. I think he better in that role then say Tom Hanks in his role as Mr. Rodgers!!!
This movie affected me in ways I wasn’t expecting. I saw it four days ago, and I can’t stop thinking about it. Phoenix is absolutely phenomenal. The score and the cinematography are hauntingly beautiful. Truly a tremendous movie.
Have to agree with you. I'm not one to watch many superhero/super-villain movies, but everyone knows the Joker. So, I went and saw it with my boyfriend and truly CANNOT stop thinking about this film. Joaquin was absolutely tremendous in this role.
Crazy that Joaquin genuinely shed a tear on this scene, because It made me cry as well. Having the news say how horrible the city he's literally trying to put a smile on in 2 ways.

Every single times he laughed broke my heart, literally. Is it because “you need to keep your smile on whenever, whatever happens” ? He only laughed when he was nervous or crying, he didn’t cry, he laughed
Dude, Joker wasn’t a DC movie. It was so much more than that. It was like I was watching the story of a real person. I was so stuck into it. I couldn’t stop think about it. I’ve watched _Joker_ about 5 times now. This is an amazing film. Absolutely amazing.
@@paulgregoryrodriguez7920 He's looking down at a screen showing the clip so he can interact with it, you dunce. Who cares if he didn't look at the camera when describing the scene?
I've seen the movie twice already. I noticed so many new subtle things in my second viewing and couldn't believe the depth of this beautifully tragic and terrifying story. Phoenix is phenomenal and the cinematography...MY GOD the cinematography! Everything about this movie is gorgeous. Absolutely a must watch. Please go see it...without prejudice.
I have seen it and I want to see it for a second time. Its been a while since ive seen a film that affected me in that way and how beautiful it was. So detailed and I felt the presence of everything each and Every second I was watching the film.
The whole movie, specially the first half, felt incredibly claustrophobic for me. I thought it was bc we were only following Arthur every scene and the amount of close shots there were, but i see that even little detail like having those buildings back there and not being able to see open sky contribute to the feeling
Daniela Sanabria yeah, looks like I’m not the only one who felt anxious during the film. I just felt this heaviness building up in my chest... I still feel it now hours later
I honestly did not notice the water coming out of that flower, that’s such a cool little detail that adds so much more to the scene. This whole movie is so awesome
If this film doesn’t win best film, best actor and best score... This film was a masterpiece, even the way his laugh slowly got better and more like the Joker laugh was a master stroke.
This movie is a great example of why cinema is considered the seventh art. I don't like to watch violent movies tbh, but this movie was amazing, I couldn't stop watching and it felt even short. I hadn't seen a movie so good in a long time.
Idk about the others, I mean it's my favourite movie of the year so far but I'd understand if it didn't win that award. Although if Joaquin doesn't win the award for best actor I'll lose all respect for the Oscars
It's such a shame that people are trying to turn this film into a scapegoat for causation of violence considering recent tension on things like gun violence and how particularly the US is blaming video games and "violent" media. It's sad because whilst stylised, this movie is an analysis of the sad realities that cause people to do questionable things, you empathise with him because everyone who has ever done anything bad descended to that space, they didn't start off there. All in all a great movie, had me thinking about it for a few days after viewing, very interesting.
Lastly we need stop saying gun violence. This is to suggest that that the gun is the criminal and not the person wielding the gun. When a person get stabbed with a knife we do not call that knife violence. When a person get hit by a car we don't call that car violence. When a person hangs themselves with a rope we do not call that rope violence. We need to recognise that a violent act against another person with a gun is just violence. The angry mob will say that gun violence is on the rise and getting out of hand so what us law abiding Americans should is let the government take our guns so when a criminal with a gun breaks into your house because he isn't going to listen to the law anywhere you better be ready to use your bare fists to beat his or her gun.
I became so obsessed with that Violin that appeared throughout the movie, runs chills. Edit: Cheers to everyone for the correction, it’s actually a Cello. My bad!
Ruminating15 I see what you mean, but personally I felt like it suited him well. It was during moments of when he truly felt himself and “free” despite the maleficent acts he made, he saw no consequence. I feel like music in general is what truly connected with him (as discussed by Todd) as a person but due to the torture and abuse he experienced as a child, that music only appears after retaliating his abuse instead of just generic happiness as you and I would experience - an eye for an eye. Therefore, giving a very unsettling and sadistic vibe, thus, The Joker.
@Geralt of Trivia All those movies are still fantasy thou. I mean, Joker is grounded in real life so much that everything about it is real in a sense. No flying batwings or superpowers. TDK is the most realistic after Joker imo.
I loved how ilogical the boss is. He says that it doesn't make sense that some kids jump him for a sign but then says the truth is that he went away and took the sign. It's horribly frustrating.
One of the scenes that affected me most was when after Arthur was told that funding for the mental health program was pulled, then he plaintively asked where was he going to get his meds. As someone who relies on psychotropics, it gutted me when he asked that. I could relate to that SO much.
I talk to people everyday who are trying to get disability for mental and/or physical issues and I've had ppl say they need their meds but can't afford it especially those with mental issues more severe then mine.
@@SexyButCurious Exactly. Which is why that scene in particular really made me uncomfortable and emotional. Joaquin really encapsulated the desperation in Arthur's predicament in a way that only an actor of his caliber is able to pull off.
I saw it completely differently. It showed how our mental health system just gets people addicted to pills without actually helping them. He’s taking bottles & bottles and they never fix him.
This movie gave me feels that no other movie has been able to give me within the last decade. I can't even describe how uncomfortable yet amazing it was.
Spoilers: I wish he broke down he scene where he dances in the bathroom after killing those three assholes with that haunting score in the background. The one take of him dancing around slowly transforming himself was so terrifyingly beautiful. What a fantastic film.
The score is made by a Scandinavian composer (Iceland to be specific).. Scandinavian cinema is known for it's gálgáhumor(gallows humor) material.. I'm thinking it has something to do with the background music that sends chill down my spine.
11:08 "And he pushes that little button and water comes out of the flower" Ok I really do need to watch this movie again because I didn't notice that part LOL
everytime arthur is happy per say when he was dancing with the sign breaks my heart cause he seems like just an innocent guy trying to make honest living this movie is so fking good
dude I feel most sorry for him when he was jotting down jokes in the comedy club. Laughing at odd times. Feeling like he was a part of a crowd, but also knowing that he is not that funny and trying to learn. guess I saw myself in that moment.
The People that left the cinema because the movie was "too dark" are the same people who ask for the manager because they didn't get the right amount of sauce.
Yeah well truth is there's been some very dark comic-book movies that's been out for thirty years, eleven years ten years, fourteen years before JOKER came out those are some very dark films Batman, Batman Return, Batman Begins, V For Vendetta, Watchmen, this and that.
this chick said out loud THIS MOVIE SUCKED when the movie ended!! and i was like this movie is actually pretty enjoyable and has dark humor. i loved it
I was honestly in tears during the final minutes, him standing on the car and seeing the aftermath. It was so powerful. My friends were confused why I was sniffling.
@storm breaker yes. i mean we are talking about the JOKER here. Not just any character. Go watch any joker movie now after seeing this. It will feel different now. You know why hes so twisted and sick.
Nuraini Arsad I noticed that all through the movie. Very kinetically focused and precise physicality of his character. Brilliant interpretation of his character. I love the running the most
I felt pity for this broken man. It hurt to see another human being fall so far and not only embrace the worst parts of the humanity on display, but be delighted by it.
Absolutely brilliant take on an iconic character. Favorite scene hands down is the last act when Joker is on the patrol car with the rioters surrounding him, deep cello resounding and he sees that he's is finally understood and accepted, even seen as the hero of the people. He's found himself......chills
I think the funny joke was that the joker essentially created Batman , his whole movement thing got Bruce’s parents killed , creating the Batman. The joker made Batman
The most sad and shocking moment for me was that his time with his neighbor was an illusion.... That broke my heart... I wish he had someone in his life... Atleast a friend who would give him some support.. 💔
@@Kick1066 I don't have problem if the film is dark but the film is not perfect at least to me. It's a solid film but pretty much everything becomes predictable if you think along with the film especially if you're paying attention to what's happening
@@Emil-lf3no Not to be rude, but what were you expecting? A movie about a man struggling and slowly losing sanity isn't going to be an action packed film with a big cgi villain. It's really an amazing movie and I think if you go into it with a different viewpoint it's way more interesting.
Watching Arthur cry as he fakes his smile makes me feel incredibly sad and chocked up. What a blessing to have Joaquin Phoenix in our time. A true amazing actor.
Even the double cant run like Arthur ... "You'll never know the person before you see him/her running." Wooow. Mr. Phoenix is awesome actor. Thank you Mr. phillips.
@Alien Alien How does that even make sense? If you "see reality" you start having positive thoughts? About a movie literally meant to provoke negative thoughts?
The scene with the sign broke my heart. I’m really sensitive when it comes to bullying and to people who mock others.... poor Arthur was trying to make some money and do what he likes. The way he shouted stop broke my heart
The problem is that people who do this kind of stuff most often get away with it. These bullies who are mean and awful to other people for no reason face absolutely no consequences and it encourages them even more. It's the system that's sick and unfair. When the victim tries to fight back however the victim has to face the consequences ( happened to me once) along with the bully. Nobody questions this idiotic system and everybody is accepting it
To me one of the most heartbreaking parts, is when he walks into Sophie’s house and she’s freaking out and he just mumbles “ I had a bad day” 😔
Yes and when she said "you're Arthur right? You live down the hall?" Its like his only little bit of real happiness in the film wasn't even real
Josh B yeah it was so sad man, he went there looking for comfort and they had never even been together
I’m curious tho did Joker killed her??
andrea russett I don’t think he did, but if he did I think he did it only because he thought she wanted him to. Whenever she makes the gun sign to him he may have misinterpreted that and thought that’s what she wanted. But my theory is he didn’t kill her because throughout the film he dances after he kills. And he doesn’t dance whenever he leaves her apartment
Canaan Jones wow thanks for clarifying it. but ive noticed when he came back to his apartment there were sirens outside what does it mean?

Me: on my way sir
Totally!
I certainly would but I think my local theater knows me on a first name basis

Seen it 4 times.
There were so many scenes where I felt Arthurs’ pain.
Same. If i could just reach out and hug him, after all, that's all he ever wanted, decency, warmth.😢
I felt his pain all throughout the movie, it was horrible almost wanting to comfort him
OMG yes!
OMG. THIS.
Nadine S I felt the same way until he started killing his mom and his “imaginary gf”. After that I understood him, but never sympathized with him.
The first scene already made me cry. I'm not kidding. It just felt so sad and relatable. He was genuinely just trying to live.
It hit me HARD too. I've got a soft spot for when innocent people (or pets) get abused, and this scene felt like a gut punch. A poor guy just trying to make a living getting robbed and beaten while nobody around helps....that'll stick with me.

@@duaa378 i didnt like the movie because of that, but i wont call it bad. just not what i like to see. i avoid the dark stuff for a reason, i have enough in me i dont need to see more. but the movie was undeniably well made
Brad Haines exactly. This movie is not for people who struggle on their own because it was super intense.
Arthur get's jumped by 4 kids
Todd Phillips: "So this is one of my favorite shots in the whole movie."
So joker 😂
heres what it looks like in real life 😂 ruclips.net/video/FjmWNbZsgGU/видео.html
Four? I count five.
That's the joke.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Every single times he laughed broke my heart, literally. Is it because “you need to keep your smile on whenever, whatever happens” ? He only laughed when he was nervous or crying, he didn’t cry, he laughed
When he was laugh-crying in the stairwell after stealing his mother's documents
Naouel its a disorder
and his mom says “he was such a happy boy”😭
Actually he wasn't really laughing because he was nervous. It's a disorder where people just laugh uncontrollably during any moment
Umm no, he was laughing like that because his parents abused and they hit his head when he was a baby boy who was always happy.
I want him to break down that iconic stairs dancing scene.
O yess
I loved that scene!!!! But I kept cringing and thinking, "Spine! Spine! Spine!! 😫😱😱😱".
Haha hihi I'm the clown prince of crime
It’s just a guy dancing on stairs though...
No it's Arthur fleek dancing on stairs to be free
Dude, Joker wasn’t a DC movie. It was so much more than that. It was like I was watching the story of a real person. I was so stuck into it. I couldn’t stop think about it. I’ve watched _Joker_ about 5 times now. This is an amazing film. Absolutely amazing.
Yep, my favorite movie
it wasn't a dc movie it was Arthur Fleck's Story
The Flash it was also the Jokers story? im confused wdym
@@AEZAKM1 it was mostly Arthur Fleck which is new to dc there were no athur fleck before its mainly his origin story
@@AEZAKM1 its like a different universe joker
I’d love to see Todd tell more about why he shot certain angles. I love watching this
Yes! I really hope he does a Director's Commentary on the DVD.
What's with the no eye-contact though? Very unprofessional.

@Xtra Spice Mikey that didnt make cents
Happy Face ahhhh
Can't wait for the Blu-ray!
I've seen the movie twice already. I noticed so many new subtle things in my second viewing and couldn't believe the depth of this beautifully tragic and terrifying story. Phoenix is phenomenal and the cinematography...MY GOD the cinematography! Everything about this movie is gorgeous. Absolutely a must watch. Please go see it...without prejudice.
I have seen it and I want to see it for a second time. Its been a while since ive seen a film that affected me in that way and how beautiful it was. So detailed and I felt the presence of everything each and Every second I was watching the film.
Like what?
How have u seen it?! I wanna see it so bad but can’t find it anywhere online
@@jonnydodd3178 It is in cinemas...
Jaws This movie deserves your money. So go out, get a ticket and support it.
The whole movie, specially the first half, felt incredibly claustrophobic for me. I thought it was bc we were only following Arthur every scene and the amount of close shots there were, but i see that even little detail like having those buildings back there and not being able to see open sky contribute to the feeling
Same!! I felt anxious and oppressed during the film.
Daniela Sanabria yeah, looks like I’m not the only one who felt anxious during the film. I just felt this heaviness building up in my chest... I still feel it now hours later
Sameee omg the first shot of Gotham city just gave me anxiety
I think it has to do with the fact that it is shot in 16:9 and not 21:9
well said!!
"You never really know someone until you see them run," sounds such a Joker thing to say haha, love it.
I honestly did not notice the water coming out of that flower, that’s such a cool little detail that adds so much more to the scene. This whole movie is so awesome
If this film doesn’t win best film, best actor and best score... This film was a masterpiece, even the way his laugh slowly got better and more like the Joker laugh was a master stroke.
And best director, script and photography!
Thank you for mentioning the score! I haven’t stopped listening. It was a huge part for me in the film.
This movie is a great example of why cinema is considered the seventh art.
I don't like to watch violent movies tbh, but this movie was amazing, I couldn't stop watching and it felt even short. I hadn't seen a movie so good in a long time.
Idk about the others, I mean it's my favourite movie of the year so far but I'd understand if it didn't win that award. Although if Joaquin doesn't win the award for best actor I'll lose all respect for the Oscars
It's such a shame that people are trying to turn this film into a scapegoat for causation of violence considering recent tension on things like gun violence and how particularly the US is blaming video games and "violent" media. It's sad because whilst stylised, this movie is an analysis of the sad realities that cause people to do questionable things, you empathise with him because everyone who has ever done anything bad descended to that space, they didn't start off there. All in all a great movie, had me thinking about it for a few days after viewing, very interesting.
Agreed
Meh... only American media are trying to do that, and idiots who read/watch american media outlets and take them seriously
Americans you mean? Nowhere in whole wide world violence exist because of the movie. Only in USA
@@arjanpetersen that's right, only Americans caused 2 world wars. Did you know that Hitler was inspired by Call of Duty?
Lastly we need stop saying gun violence. This is to suggest that that the gun is the criminal and not the person wielding the gun. When a person get stabbed with a knife we do not call that knife violence. When a person get hit by a car we don't call that car violence. When a person hangs themselves with a rope we do not call that rope violence. We need to recognise that a violent act against another person with a gun is just violence. The angry mob will say that gun violence is on the rise and getting out of hand so what us law abiding Americans should is let the government take our guns so when a criminal with a gun breaks into your house because he isn't going to listen to the law anywhere you better be ready to use your bare fists to beat his or her gun.
"Joker director"
He has a name, you know.
Which is stated in the vid's description.
Yeah that's pretty messed up
I know, I wanna know his name
They should've still put the name of the director beside the movie or something. Not just ignore it or put it in the description.
And it's not like people don't know it, the name Todd Philips is mentioned in every piece of press for the movie just as much as Joaquin Phoenix's.
I became so obsessed with that Violin that appeared throughout the movie, runs chills.
Edit: Cheers to everyone for the correction, it’s actually a Cello. My bad!
They were cellos but yes they were heartbreaking and really reflected Arthur's emotions.
Yeah man the music in this film made a big difference
It was actually a cello, and same for me.
It was a cello
Ruminating15 I see what you mean, but personally I felt like it suited him well. It was during moments of when he truly felt himself and “free” despite the maleficent acts he made, he saw no consequence.
I feel like music in general is what truly connected with him (as discussed by Todd) as a person but due to the torture and abuse he experienced as a child, that music only appears after retaliating his abuse instead of just generic happiness as you and I would experience - an eye for an eye. Therefore, giving a very unsettling and sadistic vibe, thus, The Joker.
This movie deserves an Oscar, and Phoenix deserves Oscar for best male role.
the only serious comic movie was about a clown
God I love irony
What about Logan?
why so serious?
@Geralt of Trivia All those movies are still fantasy thou. I mean, Joker is grounded in real life so much that everything about it is real in a sense. No flying batwings or superpowers. TDK is the most realistic after Joker imo.
Yes JOKER is a more serious comic book film.
I like how humble Todd is. he realizes a lot of it he owes to Joaquin. and Joaquin seems to realize a bit of the same. two very talented men!
I can't believe this is the same director that did Old School and The Hangover.
I love the 70s vibe of the movie. Movies had a different tone back then
Fake exactly what i was thinking. It’s a rare throwback to when movies were more about substance and soul than cgi and politics cal correctness
It's 80's but ok .... feeling an 'ok boomer' coming my way
@@hugomaritz692 its very early 80s though. 81 I think. So still a lot of the 70s still shines through

If Joaquin Phoenix doesnt win an Oscar, for this career-defining role, than it must be rigged.
Miss C he will. Another win for the Joker
Oscars have been rigged for years I wouldn’t count on it
He won't, he's not a mediocre movie's POC protagonist and neither does he promote the mainstream Hollywood agenda
Hate to say it but he won't win an Oscar. The movies controversy alone solidified that.
If black panther can get nominated for best picture, how can we have faith in that system? It's become too political.
This guy seems like a genuinely good director
"Why would I keep his sign?'
so so heartbreaking
You're fired!
I loved how ilogical the boss is. He says that it doesn't make sense that some kids jump him for a sign but then says the truth is that he went away and took the sign. It's horribly frustrating.
Alvaro Gallardo While insulting Arthur by calling him weird and telling him that everybody says that about him behind his back
My heart broke for him.
6:17 I love how Arthur's first "shriek" seems to be in-character as the clown, as if he thought the kids were just messing with him.
@unknowning unknown OK edgy 10 year old.
@unknowning unknown woah that's a lot of big words you're throwing around there fella
One of the scenes that affected me most was when after Arthur was told that funding for the mental health program was pulled, then he plaintively asked where was he going to get his meds. As someone who relies on psychotropics, it gutted me when he asked that. I could relate to that SO much.
I talk to people everyday who are trying to get disability for mental and/or physical issues and I've had ppl say they need their meds but can't afford it especially those with mental issues more severe then mine.
Rcker31BDrinkN same!! I loved this movie. And I relate to you both.
@@SexyButCurious Exactly. Which is why that scene in particular really made me uncomfortable and emotional. Joaquin really encapsulated the desperation in Arthur's predicament in a way that only an actor of his caliber is able to pull off.
@ғuňţċѧsє ţuċҡғѧяԀ why does that even matter Dude ?
I saw it completely differently. It showed how our mental health system just gets people addicted to pills without actually helping them. He’s taking bottles & bottles and they never fix him.
This movie gave me feels that no other movie has been able to give me within the last decade. I can't even describe how uncomfortable yet amazing it was.
Literally couldn't agree more
Joker, makes you uncomfortable but in an satisfying kind of way...
Try Parasite
@@TOSHIODS seen already. Great movie.
Spoilers:
I wish he broke down he scene where he dances in the bathroom after killing those three assholes with that haunting score in the background. The one take of him dancing around slowly transforming himself was so terrifyingly beautiful. What a fantastic film.
He did, which I'm so happy about!! :D Here it is: ruclips.net/video/nTVdN6s3rXY/видео.html
@@catherine9897 I just watched it, myself...exactly what I was hoping for!
The score is made by a Scandinavian composer (Iceland to be specific).. Scandinavian cinema is known for it's gálgáhumor(gallows humor) material..
I'm thinking it has something to do with the background music that sends chill down my spine.
Cinema Cola of course there are spoilers because the video is like a spoiler
I thought it was some kind of yoga stretch he learned to calm himself.
This video is way too short, I could listen to Philipps for hours, literally.
11:08 "And he pushes that little button and water comes out of the flower"
Ok I really do need to watch this movie again because I didn't notice that part LOL
Rinzie you didn’t truly enjoy the movie then . Rewatch it and you won’t be disappointed
I loved that part so much.
I only noticed it when I was watching the movie second time around!
The second layer of that was the fact that the water sort I dribbled out instead squirting in the way that prop normally does.
@@lcpd5700 If had the time, I would, gladly.
I never thought I’d ever be feel so bad for a villain...
I seen so many versions of the Joker and this is the 1st one I had emapthy for. It really makes all the previous iterations make a ton of sense.
GoLdEnWaTeRGBE you never felt bad for megamind?
everytime arthur is happy per say when he was dancing with the sign breaks my heart cause he seems like just an innocent guy trying to make honest living this movie is so fking good
dude I feel most sorry for him when he was jotting down jokes in the comedy club. Laughing at odd times. Feeling like he was a part of a crowd, but also knowing that he is not that funny and trying to learn. guess I saw myself in that moment.
I like how some critics said this film was “shallow’’ and “hollow’’ when clearly so much thought went into this very scene.
Honestly that’s what they all say. I feel like sometimes they want to be elitist so much that they forget the joy of watching a movie
Pinkaugust couldn’t agree more.
The film won il Leone D'oro at the Venice film festival so some critics understanded it's merit
Films with meanings and plots go over their heads
Zyber 0wl Carter every movie has a meaning and plot. That’s what movies are.
That tear drop hurt. I felt it. Brilliant acting.
When I saw that scene of the start of this film, my heart was already heavy for his character. I felt it like it was my pain.
I would sit in a theater for 4 hours to watch a breakdown of the entire film.
Ryan Dorsey Totally agree, I would too. Even 4 hours wouldn’t be long enough.
Hoping for director commentary on Blu-ray
Definitely!
The People that left the cinema because the movie was "too dark" are the same people who ask for the manager because they didn't get the right amount of sauce.
Yeah well truth is there's been some very dark comic-book movies that's been out for thirty years, eleven years ten years, fourteen years before JOKER came out those are some very dark films Batman, Batman Return, Batman Begins, V For Vendetta, Watchmen, this and that.

Arthur spinning his sign: what a nice man
When the kids broke his sign: kill them joker, kill them all

That favorite scene of him, what's not perfect about it is that I've seen it previously in the trailer.
i would watch him do this for the whole movie, so interesting
I'm buying the Blu-Ray just for the commentary.
Smfsableye now ima have to buy it
Yes, his running posture was perfect, somehow descriptive of the character.
Nuraini Arsad I noticed that all through the movie. Very kinetically focused and precise physicality of his character. Brilliant interpretation of his character. I love the running the most
Low confidence and low self esteem
Wow, need a director cut version of this, he has some very interesting things to say, lots of subtle details I wouldn't have spotted.
"I used to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy." Best line of the movie.
I used to think 9/11 was a tragedy, but now I realize it's a comedy
You realise that's a Charlie chaplin quote they also show charlie Chaplin's movie modern times on joker I guess Todd likes Chaplin
As he suffocates his mother
I scrolled the comment for this line..
Harold krick said that in stranger than fiction.
It’s insane how a single scene in this movie can rock you to your core. This is the best movie I have ever seen.
I nearly cried watching this movie, I felt so bad for Joker.
bruh i cried the entire movie
Nearly?
I felt pity for this broken man. It hurt to see another human being fall so far and not only embrace the worst parts of the humanity on display, but be delighted by it.
Now we can truly feel for why batman doesn't simply want to kill the joker
So did i
Absolutely brilliant take on an iconic character.
Favorite scene hands down is the last act when Joker is on the patrol car with the rioters surrounding him, deep cello resounding and he sees that he's is finally understood and accepted, even seen as the hero of the people.
He's found himself......chills
im not going to lie that made me tear the F up. I felt that acceptance and love he finally wanted his entire life.

@Alien Alien
How does that even make sense?
If you "see reality" you start having positive thoughts?
About a movie literally meant to provoke negative thoughts?
The scene with the sign broke my heart. I’m really sensitive when it comes to bullying and to people who mock others.... poor Arthur was trying to make some money and do what he likes. The way he shouted stop broke my heart
The problem is that people who do this kind of stuff most often get away with it. These bullies who are mean and awful to other people for no reason face absolutely no consequences and it encourages them even more. It's the system that's sick and unfair. When the victim tries to fight back however the victim has to face the consequences ( happened to me once) along with the bully. Nobody questions this idiotic system and everybody is accepting it
Feel the same way.
Let’s be honest, Joaquin is a little nutty, that’s why he was absolutely terrific in every scene.
What?
@Pale Zombie Every genius is nutty , the only "normal" people are those who exist without any talent living a mediocre and useless life !!
