The real hero of Joker is the midget.
- He is made fun of his whole life.
- He probably gets jumped too.
- He has the same deadbeat job as Arthur
- He is abused at his job
- He has no family visible supporting him.
- He has no girlfriend that we know of
- His only friends are people who are sociopathic and abusive
- He’s probably never fulfilled his dreams
- He is treated like a freak
Dude never becomes evil.
Kudos to you little guy.
I was glad he let him go
I am The Batman hey but there is one thing, albeit small. At least he wasn’t fired/still has a job.
That's because the joker is a piece of shit.
I swear I thought he was going to die for a quick minute.
Sriharsha Yadali me too . I thought oh man that’s just cruel . The interesting thing is that if he had gotten killed it wouldn’t have been funny .
When his mother says
“I never heard him cry” “He’s always been a happy boy”
*chills*
yeah, I almost cried. probably never felt such away in a theater before
Lilla Sked it was a great scene in a great movie
That was one of the best lines. It made you imagine how much pain and sadness Arthur has felt throughout his entire life, and all of it went by unnoticed by the one person that had to take care of him. Hell, went by unnoticed by EVERYONE.
Yeah he was fkn crying that whole time
@Long Nguyen He has a neurological disorder where he has excessive laughter when he feels emotional. So Arthur's only way of expressing emotion is by laughter so when he is sad and wants to cry, it is laughter that comes out. So all those times he was laughing as a boy, he was actually crying.
The scene with the short man was the most intense part of the movie. A locked door has never been more fucked up and anxiety inducing
*Sees Uncut gems
So sad it’s politically incorrect to say dwarf or midget 😂
@@andrewdukes3517 I laughed a little too, there was a lot of unintended dark humor in it that I loved
Am I the only one who expected Arthur to free him, after making him feel bad after involuntarily laughing at the joke about him being short
You meant midget?

Beat me to it!
you sly dog
"I was wondering if you could ask the doctor to increase my medication."
"Arthur, you're on seven different medications. Surely they must be doing something!"
"I just don't want to feel so bad anymore."
As someone with depression, this exchange almost made me cry. Please treat each other with kindness, folks. You never know how much someone could be suffering inside.
Same here.
@I am the one who controls the sun Agreed. The problem is when someone is completely healthy but is INSANELY sensitive.
All the controversy surrounding this movie tells me that mainstream media hates a relatable character... Especially if that character has violent tendencies.
💯💯
And you never know what someone is capable of if we, as a society, alienate them.

Noticed that too. I'm guessing this is a Gotham from late 70's , early 80's era. So in general smoking was much more prominent and accepted then, of course in Gotham's universe anything goes. it supposed to be urban, dark, and dirty. the smoking fits right in and Phoenix did an outstanding job in making it look cool and blend in well as a part of what the joker does.

Seriously I wanted to light one up in the theater.

makes it obvious smokers just want to look cool xD

"I never heard him cry, he was always such a happy little boy"
Those words crushed my soul when he read the file on his mother.
the movie was like a new-age greek tragedy.
Same my brother had tears I can’t believe that movie was so dark but I love it
I cried 😭 broke 💔 my heart
As someone who dealt with a lot of childhood neglect that scene absolutely CRUSHED me
@Caleb Kent I know what you mean. Unless your hyper focused during the movie and you can ignore those assholes talking at the movies you might miss something. I'm buying a 4K copy of this day 1.
All this “bad press” yet it smashed the box office. Now that’s a good joke
Yeah that's how contraversy works. All publicity is good publicity.
kinda sad because it is truly a bad film, and not that there's really any good ones out there right now, but this one definitely doesn't deserve that kinda reception.
it feels like it was made by a 10 year old attempting to be deep or edgy
@@scs44444 lol
Press worked in selling it ;)
SJWs did more to help sell tickets than the trailers ever could.
Todd Philips was in the movie.
He was one of the guys wearing a mask.
6:14
That part was meant to show us how he longs for human contact. A bump in in the elevator with this woman and he starts imagining a relationship with her. Because she was one of the few people who didn’t treat him like trash he clings to her, hence him later in the movie showing up in her apartment telling her he had a bad day. Then obviously there we realise that his relationship with her was nothing more than a fantasy
Arthur fleck and Bruce Wayne May have different birthdays. But the Joker and Batman were born on the same day.

@@bigmonkeong that scene was bone chilling. Goosebumps.

This movie is a masterpiece, Joaquin Phoenix is amazing in the movie he deserves an Oscar! This performance honestly rivals Heath Ledgers it's that great, this movie is gonna go down as a classic, I really hope they'll make a sequel and really wish this was apart of the dceu it's easily the best DC movie since the Dark Knight, 10/10
Yeah, screaming he earns an oscar.
And when he does, screaming: 'I told you so!'

One big difference between Batman and the Joker? Money.
And their philosophies.
And a rough upbringing vs a protected upbringing
It's not about the money
It's about sending a message
The saddest part for me was the fact that Arthur was actively trying to get help. He was going to therapy and taking medications. He tried to tell his therapist that the medications weren't working and he was showing her that the type of therapy he was receiving (being locked up and simply talking to someone weekly) wasn't helping. Many times, we are shown that a character just gives up or a character doesn't believe that they are wrong or that they need help, but it isn't often we are shown one that tries to get better only to fail. "Keep trying and you'll succeed." No, sometimes, people try their best over and over, and they still fail and are ruined by the experience.
As Joaquin Phoenix said in an interview, the media is more dangerous than the movie itself. The act of outrage inspires people to be outrageous.
What interview was that? I'd love to watch it
@@jrrthompson1996 it's in an interview he did with Peter Travers
I’ve always said listening to celebrities is stupid and I still think that, listening to artists on the other hand...
I found that him saying “you wouldn’t get it” was more him accepting his differences from the rest of society and no longer needing acceptance for his mental state rather than thinking of Bruce Wayne’s parents dying
I think so too.. he gave up his dream of being a stand up comedy and making people laugh at that moment
That’s what I love about this movie. It can be interpreted in so many different ways
This is just how I saw it but I think it goes back to his old therapist when he said she didn’t listen. And how “she doesn’t get it”
I thought it was years later, when Batman was already a thing, he probably put him in Arkham in the first place. Joker probably realized then that he made Bruce into Batman himself.
Same here.
This movie made me feel physically ill while I was watching it. I felt absolutely awful as I was leaving the theatre. I truly hope it wins Best Picture.
Dan Groll for making you feel awful?
@@Seasonal-Shadow_4674 No ones supposed to watch a movie like this and feel joy. Some art is tragic. Paintings, music, all can make you feel sad or disturbed.
Sectric its a good movie but doesn’t mean it’s brutal to watch and not one to watch late Saturday nights...
Dan Groll midsommmarrr
Real_Slim_Shady it was incredibly visceral watching the film. Just felt like I didn’t want to see Arthur get hurt or anything but then watched him get absolutely broken over the course of the movie. Which I think the film intended to do.
What I liked was that you still weren't sure at the end whether he was Wayne's son or not.
After he discovers his mothers past and kills her there the scene with him holding an old photo of her and on the back is written "something, something, T.W" yeah i can't remember the exact words :) but it placed some doubt in my mind as to whether T.W did father a child with one of his maids and then just covered it up, the process of which broke Jokers mother mentally leaver her not sure what is real or not.
That pic said "Love your smile. TW" on the back.
Bro u the m.v.p. was searching gor someone who actually noticed the final twist i feel they actually had gotten together for a minute and he was just terrified of the fact that they would find out that he had an affair with a maid and also when he saw arthur and how messed up he was and then compare that with how classy bruce is u see the connection and the irony i think ots a dope concept to make them half brothers seeing hes a main villain most of the time
I guess we know why batman won't kill the joker after everything he's done it's his brother lol
@@BeanBoolin419only issue is that the joker is like 35 in this time and Bruce is like 6 maybe 7. That means Batman is fighting a 65 year old man at 37 lol

I thought about posting this and then thought to myself somebody probably already did.
The writing of this movie is absolutely genius. It turned a comic book villain with obscure origins into a mentally challenged man who becomes a killer because society failed to help him.
This movie was another breed!
It was great but Todd Phillips takes lacks creativity and takes the same ideas and plot from other films
I just finished it, and of course I come to Stuckman for his review. I have been purposely avoiding this video until I watched it. I didn’t see it in the theater. It’s amazing. I adored it. This is one I will watch over and over. I already want to watch it again. Joquin Phoenix is staggeringly good. So many things about it were just amazing.
If this movie is considered "dangerous", then GTA is a living weapon.
And, that would make movie critics prophets.
Tunan Guo Mortal Kombat is as well.
You have to wonder if some of these critics work with the government because this movie kinda opens our eyes we deal with a lot of rich people who get away with a lot of s*** and they do look down on us as well as the government looks down on us so are the government Brighton that we're going to wake up and see them for what they are the rich and the government is that's why they put these critics seem to discredit the movie the government and the rich do look at people beneath them as clowns but we are not clowns we were hard just like everybody else followed the system it doesn't work for everybody control lost the kilostate shoot us sometimes we just get fed up of leaving the same rules day today and still get tarnish so why not make sense and you've had enough
Cassandra Amore the movie isn’t as deep as you think and certainly doesn’t "reveal" anything about society, lmfao.
Phoenix’s performance is impressive, but the script is incredibly shallow. I doesn’t really comment on society or really criticize anything it just repeats that "society is mad", and shows us that, but yeah, that’s hardly original.
I also love that the horrible murder of three traders makes people in the movie side with the murderer for some reason and engage in an "anti-rich movement", like it’s just that simple.
The movie isn’t dangerous though, how anybody could be influenced by such a shallow message is beyond me.
@@AdrianCelsiusTepes and what's so stupid is it's supposed to be shallow and cold. That's the point people make to even Batman on why he wants to save Gotham. Even the Gotham TV show does this. Batwoman might explore this too.
Gotham is a dark shallow cold city but hides it's truths with family bonds and some spurts of happy memories. But mostly all familes are doomed to die in Gotham.
I HATE THAT CENSORSHIP IS COMING BACK AGAIN.

There ya go buddy ! Stay awesome :)
Has anyone mentioned how his disorder laugh and his actual laugh are totally different? His disorder sounds like a regular laugh, but his true laugh is unsettling and twisted.
His disorder laugh is really unsettling too, it's full of pain. Fantastic acting
As the movie progresses, he laughs less often
Lean Mean Green Bean Machine Glad someone else noticed that too.
common viewer I felt that near the end of the movie his laugh was less of a disorder and more of him actually finding the things he was doing actually funny
no his disorder sounds like hes trying to hold it back. hes gagging during the disorder laugh. it doesnt sound normal.
To all the critics who didn't like this movie : knock knock
Who’s there?
MofootballZe Football videos lmaooo

@@slim..reaper There's no punchline...
There was a bit towards the end - I think when he was dancing down the steps - when I could see Nicholson, Ledger and Pheonix's Joker all in one. It was awesome.
My thought was that climbing the staircase represented his struggle to climb out of his mental illness.
Each time we see him climb the stairs it seems to be getting harder and harder for him to do so, especially after his therapy and medication are cut off.
Eventually he just gives in and gleefully takes the descent into madness by dancing down the stairs.
I love you Chris, but the early lives of Bruce and Arthur were no where near equivalent.The only tragic thing that happened to Bruce was that his parents were killed in front of his eyes. That is of course devastating, but Arthur’s whole life was fucked up in every single aspect from the get-go, while Bruce grew up in a wealthy family.
Just wanted to point that out
One big moment, when he does in fact find out he is adopted right there and then you realize that he no longer has an identity, he’s not a Flek or Wayne, he is no one and Joker is no one...amazing
Yes, agree 100%. thats the deeper shit no one is talking about, people sperg with "ooh its just like taxi driver!" without thinking about Phoenix's performance or the amazing directing or screenplay.
AFTER he reads the adoption papers, there’s a flashback scene where his mother is talking to the therapist and he’s just reciting to her the same things Thomas Wayne said, and when Arthur decides to finally dawn the joker he looks at a picture of his mother with the back saying “you look absolutely beautiful” singed by Thomas Wayne!! He crumples it up an throws it over his shoulder. Something he doesn’t notice but the audience sure does
I think thomas had her committed and made to look insane.
He's not a fleck or a Wayne. The only people who could tell him are now dead. So really he doesn't know his origin yet it's an origin tale.
I do believe thomas was really the father though.
J Alves when he crushes the picture of his mother at the end it says, you have a beautiful smile, from TW. or something very similar maybe just a different adjective. This implies that maybe Thomas really did have her committed to cover it up
“Ohh I forgot to punch out”

One of the funniest parts
Arthur: Wanna hear another joke Murray?
Murray:No thank you, unless it's gonna *BLOW MY MIND*
I guess that's the thing about movies. The more you watch, the more plotlines you recognize, the harsher you are on future movies. I've never seen the other two movies you mentioned. So to me, Joker's plotline was completely new and fresh.
Critics:
“All I have are negative thoughts.”
You talking about how they uses that song by Gary Glitter? Yeah, tbh that didn't sit right with me either
@Thomas Michael dont be a "Mee too" snowflake.
Fucking hell I'm dying 😂😂😂😂😂
Thomas Michael is a perfect example as to why we don't feed trolls in the RUclips comments
@Thomas Michael I mean, I guess I am because I didn't have a problem with the song. Didn't know who made it, found out after the fact, and still don't think it matters.
The same people who say the violence is too much in this movie are the same people who praise The John Wick Series for its “action packed” scenes.
Juanmanuel Vizcarra exactly
It's the same people who get mad at Trump for blaming video games for mass shootings. They're all hypocrites.
this comment is so fucken stupid. how do you know what ppl perceive? John wick is an action movie series, this isn’t an action movie. that’s 2 types of fan bases jackass.
Juanmanuel Vizcarra thank you.
even the police couldnt do a thing to john wick , which means the society where he's live in is worst than gotham city lol
That scene in the subway, when he commits his first murder, the visuals as theyre beating him up and we get close ups of his face while the lights go on and off and on and off. Its like were watching his internal struggle in that moment as hes about to snap. Absolutely brilliant.
I saw the film 30 hours ago and haven’t really stopped thinking about it since. I found I quite a tough watch, but the character development is fascinating. I really need to see it again, enjoyed it very much. Also I love the suit.
PS this is the first video I’ve seen on this channel (technically the second, I watched the first thirty seconds of this video, watched the spoiler free video then came back) and I’m sure I’ll be back. Great stuff.
I must admit, the twist with his "girlfriend" got me
I was like chemistry is too weak but when twist happened I was like holy shit
Yeah haha. Even when shit was bad for him, I thought "Hey at least he has a girlfriend who is into him"
Yeah made more sense this way

“Social media awards extremes.” -Chris Stuckmann, 2019

I still wonder, why does Arthur start talking very camp-ish when he's on the talk show? He starts elongating vowels ("muraaaay") and changes pitch. He also starts uncontrollably starts shaking his feet in the lead up to shooting Murray, and it turns into a dance when he stands up. Are these to support the idea that he's turning into this Joker persona?
Using That's Life throughout this movie and the final scene has haunted me. I always loved that song largely because it hit me in the times I was feeling prideful and good, when also being perfect when I am angry or whatnot. That song always had an eerie, sad feeling. What a perfect song for him. My god.
People who don’t like this movie didn’t get the joke.

"The worst things about having a mental Illness is that people expect u to behave as if u dont have one"
My favorite quote from the movie from jokers notebook
It difficult for people to deal with complicated issues and often have negative stigmas toward people that have mental issue and some people use it as excuse so that doesn't help
Thanks for replying to my comment guys I love talking to joker/batman fans lol u all have interesting inputs, thank u for saying I'm gorgeous
@Oxy Moron It definitely wasn't boring. This isn't your regular cliché action movie. It's a slow movie that shows every event that caused the Joker. It was a very interesting watch.
I do feel like it was extremely interesting some people may find it boring because the movie moves slow to show u all the details but I really enjoyed it excited to have it in my movie collection
Why did I not see that thing? I Only saw "I hope my death makes more cents than my life" , and there's no scene where he's writing jokes ( the scene in the first trailer).
I loved this movie so much. I watched it at my friends house and I had to tell him to stop when Joker is I’m the bathroom after the subway scene. The music and him dancing is insane and I had to take a breather. This is such a topic for mental health and it did amazing
I think if Joker and Bruce were half-brothers, I would like that
"My mum just died I'm celebrating"
When you finally get the ps4 to yourself.
BAHAHAHAHAHA
that was so deadpan that it was actually funny
Best fricking line !!! Imo
"Its fuckin crazy int it"
The overall message of this movie is: Be nice to everyone. Treat everyone like how you want to be treated.
But there's also a general social commentary pointing out a cruel, but sadly very true reality which is that the elites do really live in their bubble and are completely unaware of the hellhole distress and violence that the lower classes go through every single day of their lives. Well, not unaware per se (they do read news and do see people around them when they are in town), but I mean unaware of what it actually is like and how it feels like to live in those conditions.
...or they may just stab you in the fucking eye
That neighbor of his was nice and never did anything to him.... Soooooo?
If only the world was that fair. Treating others the way you wanna be treated doesn't work. It's always giving love for abuse.
Woag It totally does. If you want to be loved, you gotta try to express your love for someone else. But also you don’t want to be loved by someone you don’t like, so you mustn’t push your love if the other person doesn’t want it. Same goes with any kind of relations. And if you don’t want to be abused, you just set a distance in relationships that is comfortable for you and defend yourself if needed, both physically and psychologically.
If someone behaves like a total dick, you treat him like you would treat yourself and how you would like to be treated by others if you were behaving the same way.
For me I thought the ending was just another part of his delusion like none of it happened. Maybe he's the real Joker or someone who fantasies about being the Joker. So many ways to read that ending.
I think he definitely killed the woman ... I'm pretty sure he left bloody footprints in the corridor. Maybe I imagined that?!
Nova Lena No he did. It’s possible he just saw that in his head still.
This Joker evolves into Heath Ledger's.
I thought the exact same!!! They should have cut it right after the “you wouldn’t get it” line. Would have put more emphasis on that and the following scene with him running down the hall was unnecessary.
I thought it should have cut after he says, 'You wouldn't get it' and walks down the hall leaving bloody footprints.
Nah, you just didn't like the way he runs.
It's actually written as
"I hope my death makes more CENTS than my life" which is actually kind of funny
very clever by the writers
@@fluteisland I've heard it's actually from a diary of a real person named Arthur as well.
Finally, someone mentioned this! 😅
Why is it funny,? Its disturbingly sad
Nin10do generation Well.....not him.
John Wick mows down dozens of fools and very little empathy is held for any of them.
Joker shoots Murray once and it felt like I just witnessed a real murder, I was shocked.
All about framing and context. In John wick apparently a baby in a stroller could potentially be a hitman, in joker these are regular people.
Right the way he just laid back on the chair dead, shit was chilling

"I like that I never been quoted"
- Chris Stuckmann 2019
I was surprised that Chris didn’t mention the fact that Arthur is an unreliable narrator, so the story we see might be a version of the “true events” or an amalgamation of what happened to Arthur. Like, that was what interested me: how Arthur interpreted certain moments and how HE showed US what he saw, how he saw. Maybe there was no Joker Uprising, maybe at the end he is laughing because he inspired the true Joker and he is just poor Arthur Fleck imprisoned while someone else is using his alias - which would again be a satire for how other people (more privileged people) take credit for your work, another sad note in his tale.
I don’t know, I just think Todd Phillips played with this idea that maybe this happened exactly like this, maybe it’s not real, maybe the opposite happened, maybe (most likely) it’s in Arthur’s head and he is mocking/using the audience, while being INSPIRED by Scorcese’s films (there are no original stories anymore right?).
No one will read this, because it’s a year and half later, but I still think that Joker was phenomenal for allowing me to fully analyze its complex and devastating plot.
My grandmother always told me “Be nice to people. You never know what they are going through. People snap.”
e.g Thanos's fingers
+Devon Elizabeth
Agreed.
I was told the same thing growing up, turns out being nice to every body saved me from a possible school shooting. I was the only boy in my math class that wasn't found on the hit list.
I tell my son that constantly. I know people love to bully the weak and I told him dont pile on ever
The “blood smile” standing on top of the cop car was incredible. Is it just me, or did that somewhat feel like a homage to Ledger, with the blood resembling the scars?
cobo1316 Yes, it was.
he was originally going to cut his mouth with glass, but they didn’t want it to be too much like heath, but the interesting thing is in the original script when he’s in arkham at the end, he is talking to the woman and has the cuts stitched up, indicating the movie was real and not a “joke”
TwistedOwl I had no idea about that. I do love the blood smile and how beautifully dramatic he did it to himself. Not sure how cleanly it would have gone in the scene with the glass, but I am not opposed to it, especially if that would have revealed if it all truly happened or not.
no, it isn’t... it’s more like him naturally smiling. at the beginning of the film he had to force a smile... on top of that car he can smile freely...
Juan Zep I agree with that also.
Deadpool's violence felt like normal comic book- movie violence with blood added. But with Joker, those gunshots felt so real. Also the scene where he kills his friend in front of the dwarf was genuinely unsettling.
When you give me my oscar, can you introduce me as Joker?

Steven Hayden
Absolutely nonsensical analogy.
Probably the worst analogy i ever seen
If I may, I just wanna offer my take on the controversy surrounding its use of violence. Those that have judged Joker for being “too violent” are missing the point - The film is not so much about violence as it is about what prompted Arthur to violent action. If society were to hold a mirror up to its face, we would see the true monster glaring back at us that slowly but surely pushed Arthur Fleck to the point at which he transformed into the Joker, discovering his purpose and identity he’d been searching for. If he were acknowledged instead of ignored, and if the system worked and continued to treat him when he was trying to better himself but sadly got cut off, things might’ve gone differently. That’s the tragedy of Joker; everyone deserves to be heard and there are so many people who get the short end of the stick.
Anyway, amazing film and I enjoyed your review!
In Chile we found this movie so good that in two weeks we made our own version
Oof
My absolute favorite thing is that Joker legitimately says “We live in a society”
@Bryan birdchest Callen Also blew Murray's mind.

I was hollering. I was anxious through most of it until the door and the door chain.
Hahaha yehh
I thought him choosing to only lock that part of the door was intentional. It was funny but would loved to see the Joker kill him after that lmao
At the end when he smears his face into a smile gave me chills all over my body, god what a great job Joaquin Phoenix did
The dance scenes on the stairs and car was the most Joker thing I've seen in any cinematic portrayal of him.
@@TheNewGen08 they kinda ruined the stair dance with the soundtrack
ShakenMike I agree to an extent, still loved it, but definitely could’ve had better music during that scene
But first he felt that he had blood in his mouth from the crash, and in a moment of clarity he resumes being the demented monster he succumbed to
ShakenMike maybe it was done to contrast how unique he is from society
A point you made, regarding his mom: I'm not so sure I'd definitively say she didn't have an affair with Thomas Wayne, simply because of the whole message of this movie: that the rich can do things and get away with it, either by paying people off, using their influence or just knowing the right people. The whole movie is about that power difference. Would it really be that far fetched to say Wayne DID do something with Mrs. Fleck but covered it up?
It's hard for me to put into words how good I found Joker (2019) made by the director Todd Phillips. This movie is great and so far one of my favorite movies from this year and in my opinion the best movie of 2019 so far.
The cinematography of the film was gorgeous, the soundtrack was mostly perfect, the acting was good too but probably the main reason why I love this movie so much is Joaquin Phoenix. What a fantastic actor!
I love the Dark Knight trilogy from Christopher Nolan and Heath Ledger's Joker. Ledger gave us a realistic Joker for the first time and Phoenix continued his legacy with respect. Phoenix gave us the same in his own way with a deeper background. In addition with an excellent Joker performance e.g. the Dancing and his Joker laugh. Just fantastic!
The Joker's Mystery is still contained in this movie and although it's an Origin Story, I still have the feeling that the Joker has remained a complete Mystery and will probably always remain.
The movie gets a 9/10 from me. The best DC movie since The Dark Knight (2008).
"The thing is MUR-RAY".
Classic Joker
So good, I can hear it
I love when he did that haha I couldn't stop smiling
"When you hand me my Oscar, can you introduce me as JOKER ?"
make this comment up
Underrated comment!
@@LaskaiTamas23 no it is not under rated comment literally all joker video have this comment which I support but it is not under rated
Rahul Talreja “Jerry, could you introduce me as, “The King of Comedy?”
Rahul Talreja he should go to the oscar ceremony with the clothes and makeup
Arthur - laughs, suicidal. Joker - dances, homicidal.
This movie was incredibly hard to sit through at times. It was dark, heavy, and hit a ton of fantastical but also realistic tones in an uncomfortable and unapologetic way, and I love it.
Its a tragic story that isn't afraid to show the ugly reality of life in the guise of these fantasy figures.
“Stop laughing, freak. Look at what you’ve done.”
“I know. Isn’t it beautiful?”
Shubh Khan when white room by cream started playing in that scene I felt fucking the vibe ong💯🔥
I can honestly say that Joker is one of the best movies I've seen in years.
You REALLY need to watch more movies, then
@@markgeneson9771 how do you know he didnt watch many movies? its his own opinion why cant you just accept that? lol
@@dopechicken7422 He didnt like the film because it wasnt a "Super explody action hero good guy fun time" kinda movie...he probably thinks Godzilla king of monsters was the best film of the last 10 years lol
snunja hockey CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 you have a different taste of movies than some one else. Want a cookie 🍪?
Mark Geneson you need to learn to appreciate phenomenal character development
Some people get their kicks stomping on a dream. He sure stomped on that lady’s dream in the ending lol shoes all bloody.
Hi Chris. I love your reviews!
I just finally got around to seeing Joker and you are right -- the panic before this movies release was very overblown. Sadly, people on the internet only care about clicks on their articles so they will post anything that generates a positive/ negative reaction
The critics felt hurt because the film calls out hypocrites.
Weird Wombat Well pretty much everyone who’s giving this film low reviews is being unreasonable as all they are really saying is that it’s bad because it’s too violent and has too many white people in it. I haven’t seen a single review so far that gives it a low score with any justifiable reasoning other than it’s too violent and will cause white people to suddenly go out and murder everyone or some dumb shite like that.
Your Dad how about the argument that the film doesn’t have as big of a deep message as it aims to? Or that it borrows too much from other films making it predictable? These are arguments against it that I’ve heard. I still love the movie but it’s far from perfect, Joaquin Phoenix definitely saved some of the weaker points.
@@W3irdWombat I agree that the film wasn't amazing, and understand the low review scores, but I think you're ignoring something really important; The film is connecting with people on a meaningful level. People can see themselves in Arthur Fleck, because he represents or at least speaks to the small percentage of the population that feels disconnected from and abandoned by society at large. It isn't the first film to do it, but most films that speak to the weirdos of society do so in a pandering and condescending manner, in which the weirdo is seen as cute, endearing and simply misunderstood! For someone who genuinely can't connect with people, this can be eye-rolling at best and frustrating at worst. Joker doesn't do this, instead it portrays the feelings of resentment, anger and hopelessness that being a weirdo more commonly makes you feel. It's about a character who's shunned by society, made a spectacle of and treated as less than human, and responds with great vengeance. He is a monster, created by society, and the sick part is, he's only taken notice of and accepted, when he becomes a monster. Arthurs speech on the talk show comes across as cheesy or self pitying, only if you can't relate to his pain, and most of the film critics reviewing this film have never and may never feel like Arthur Fleck. Infact most people will go through their lives never experiencing what it's like to feel outside society, but for those who do, will relate to this film. And for me, that makes this at the very least an important film.
@@W3irdWombat this movie is pretty vague about its message. You can't be sure whether its all going on in Arthur's mind and which events really took place. But clearly its all from the perspective of a psychopath with pseudobulbar affect, and you can't find your 'substance' or 'deep message' in it because you're expecting Buddha's teachings from a mentally ill patient.
The critics all thought the last Jedi was a tour de force while pretty much everyone else (the public aka the people that matter) either hated it or thought it was mediocre at best. I wouldn’t pay attention to that nonsense. They have an agenda and Joker inconveniences that.
“So the makeup isn’t a political statement?”
“Oh no, I don’t believe in that... I don’t believe in anything”
I found that sad actually.
Lu HeDi I did too. He had to identity until that very moment and after the talk show he found his identity. The joker.
jbigboi13 loved that line. The slight smile on his face as he said it was great too hahah
Nihilism at its finest.
I believe what ever didnt kill you make you stranger
Does it help that I was the only one who didn’t flinch at Murray getting shot?
@14:14 You just hit all the right words man. That is EXACTLY the vibe I got from The killing Joke. And that is the spirit of the Joker-Batman relation I think. I've just suscribed.
I feel like they payed homage to the Heath Ledger Joker in the scene when hes riding in the back seat of the cop car with his head resting on the inside of the window. That immediately reminded me of that scene from the dark knight.
I thought he was gonna get his head outta the window for a sec.
There was a few homages to previous batman work. The clown mask on top of the makeup reminds me of Dark Knight rises. Him being on a talk show and killing the host reminds me of killing joke. And there were probably a few others.
"Do I look like a clown who can start a movement?" = " Do I really look like a guy with a plan?"
Or the notebook, Heaths joker was made by a notebook he kept while prepping and now it’s kinda famous
I saw the film last night and that scene really got me, this is one amazing film
I don’t think I was comfortable at any point while watching that movie.
I was too comfortable
I was comfortable. I found a nice seat. All jokes aside it didn't really make me that uncomfortable. Did I feel bad for him sure but I didn't really feel that bad for him
Not even after the midget joke?
@@themanofconstantsorrowelia1929 )
I was comfortable
Good review (I've only just discovered your channel, love it!). Am I the only one who sees the Inception parallel with the last interview scene? It leaves open the possibility that everything that happened in the movie was in his head, or that some, or all, of it was real. The giveaway to me for the theory that it could be entirely delusional is the question "Have you thought any more about why you were in hospital?"which he (nor the movie) ever answers. Going one step further with that theory, the whole thing was his delusion for him to rationalise the one real event in the movie, smothering to death the mother who was complicit in his childhood abuse. I'd prefer that not to be the case, as it's too close to an "...and it was all a dream" ending that we used to get told to avoid at school :)
If Joaquin Phoenix doesn’t win Best Actor, then this World is a Joke.
have you watched any movies other then comic movies?
@@Jackson-jd1um most of the movies now are boring superhero, rehashes of old films
I doubt it, because of the controversy.
Well you're right
@@Jackson-jd1um Not many that i wanted to. I mean,the year has not finished yet...I Saw Antonio Banderas´s performance in Pain and glory,and it was oscar worthy. So was Taron Edgerton in rocketman and Leonardo dicaprio in "OUATIH"
From what i can recall from critics,The award buzz is carry by Phoenix´s long and unrewarded career. And according to Critics,Adam Driver in Marriage Story and Adam Sandler in Uncut gems are close call to Phoenix´s award buzz.
Theme of joker: be a decent human being
Agreed
@Jay Ess Not everyone, now let me tell you this, not everyone is awful
@Ricky MyBoy Did you have to look that up?
Or, and hear me out, there no excuse to be a psycho murderer. Regardless of getting bullied 🤷🏽♂️
@@Cptking235 That's not what the movie was trying to say at all. You either missed the point entirely or you're trolling.
Joker 2 “it genuinely fucking floors me” - Chris Stuckmann 2019
I have just to say that I love this review !! so much true on a single video ! well done :)
I adored this movie. Really wanna see it again.
Is it me or did anyone else notice that Arthur lost his laughing problem when he become the Joker? We’ve seen him laugh uncontrollably in situations where he’s uncomfortable, but he doesn’t do that when after becoming the Joker. It’s like he was completely liberated.
Saw this exact comment on r/movies lmao
Yep. I also liked how they did a whole scene of him prepping his entrance only to ditch what he practiced. It was an amazing moment that finished the transformation to the Joker in my eyes.
Joseph Deluca I see you saw the Gamer Theorists Film Theory video.
Clementine Krishan He never really had the condition to begin with. He was just lied to so he grew up with it. Placebo effect I believe
Alejandro Momota Not sure about that. The card he hands out says it can be caused by head trauma, the film later explains how he was found beaten, malnourished, and with bad head trauma. The laughing stopping is much more likely to show how he truly is free and, like The Joker we all know and love, isn’t what uncomfortable in high stress situations, instead he learns to love it.
Thanos killed half the people in the universe and we never heard a peep about the movie being too violent.
I think that’s jsut cuz they didn’t show like guys exploding and it was jsut ppl Turing to dust
squaressquares exactly if people had their skins turned inside out I think we'd hear a little more peep
Because it's a freakin comic book movie with aliens. Joker talks about social issues that are part of everyday life. It's a movie that not only takes it up for the poor but everyone who's been looked down upon in any way and considered less valuable by our social standards. That's why this movie is dangerous. Because we all have these moments in life where we think violence is our only hope to make a change. And we should applaud these moments, not for the sake of violence, but for the sake of their honesty. When someone feels violence is the only answer left, we want to defend our truth. We want to defend our right. And those moments are the moments of holy fire that should guide us towards civilized change in society.
Luckily most of us know violence isn't the answer so hopefully this movie inspires, like Chris said, reflection upon where we are part of The Joker and how we are part of its counterweight, how are we complicit as a society in creating Jokers? For America, as an example, I immediately think of all the high school shootings. For Europe, I think of terrorism just the same. What drives these people to become so amazingly violent? What can we do as a society to not let their lives and that of their victims to be forgotten in vain. How can we prevent other Jokers from popping up instead of just making sure that when another one drives by we're expecting and ready to pop his head off.
This movie doesn't just open a wound, it pleasantly fingers it. Revolution is happening all around the globe in all kinds of manners, of course they don't want you to get inspired by a movie and do the same.
Mckee Ward IV I’m going to say it, avengers endgame is one of the most overrated movie I’ve seen, joker was a flat out masterpiece
@@DarkAngelEU The thing is people tend to take movies way too seriously. Obviously, because your life is shit doesn't mean you should go around killing people and become a supervillain. (Metaphorically) be like Batman and try to do good after the tragedy. But in my opinion I don't see Joaquin Phoenix's Joker as a villain but as an antihero who stands up for the oppressed in society but in an evil way and to turn against a city that is so diverse where even the most 'good' guy is an ass who puts down the people he says he wants to help and that is Thomas Wayne.
I finally saw this movie and holy shit it was amazing. This should be the final origin story of the Joker.
Finallly I can watch all these awesome looking review/explanation vids I just recently watched Joker three times. Once for me, once to see the skill and art, and once to read all the notes and smaller details.

Is there a joker video on RUclips that doesn’t have one of your comments?
That's not a quote from the joker
Mr. Friendship How the hell do you people function in real life? I’m baffled.
Don’t tease him. He might break and become Joker!
