JOKER MOVIE REVIEW |
Joker Movie Description:
Forever alone in a crowd, failed comedian Arthur Fleck seeks connection as he walks the streets of Gotham City. Arthur wears two masks -- the one he paints for his day job as a clown, and the guise he projects in a futile attempt to feel like he's part of the world around him. Isolated, bullied and disregarded by society, Fleck begins a slow descent into madness as he transforms into the criminal mastermind known as the Joker.
Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed and produced by Todd Phillips, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver. The film, based on DC Comics characters, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker and provides a possible origin story for the character. Set in 1981, it follows Arthur Fleck, a failed clown and stand-up comedian whose descent into insanity and nihilism inspires a violent counter-cultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City. Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Glenn Fleshler, Bill Camp, Shea Whigham, and Marc Maron appear in supporting roles. Joker was produced by Warner Bros. Pictures, DC Films, and Joint Effort, in association with Bron Creative and Village Roadshow Pictures, and distributed by Warner Bros.
Phillips conceived Joker in 2016 and wrote the script with Silver throughout 2017. The two were inspired by 1970s character studies and the films of Martin Scorsese (particularly Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy), who was initially attached to the project as a producer. The film loosely adapts plot elements from Batman: The Killing Joke (1988), but Phillips and Silver otherwise did not look to specific comics for inspiration. Phoenix became attached in February 2018 and was cast that July, while the majority of the cast signed on by August. Principal photography took place in New York City, Jersey City, and Newark, from September to December 2018. Joker is the first live-action theatrical Batman film to receive an R-rating from the Motion Picture Association.
Joker had its world premiere at the 76th Venice International Film Festival on August 31, 2019, where it won the Golden Lion, and was released in the United States on October 4, 2019. While Phoenix's performance, the direction, editing, musical score, and cinematography were praised, the dark tone, portrayal of mental illness, and handling of violence divided opinions and generated concerns of inspiring real-life violence. Despite this, Joker was a box office success and set records for an October release. It grossed over $1 billion, the first R-rated film to do so, and became the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2019 during its theatrical run. The film also received numerous accolades. At the 92nd Academy Awards, it earned a leading 11 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Adapted Screenplay, winning Best Actor for Phoenix and Best Original Score for Hildur Guðnadóttir.

The Reason I did this reaction is because I wanted to share my thoughts and love for this film with you all. I don't want to only do movies I've never seen before. The purpose of me doing these reactions is me sharing my love for movies with everyone no matter if I've seen it or not.
Much love and respect for your choice in movies and to respect them. Fun fact, Todd Philips also wrote and directed this to smite the toxic critics when they bashed him for the last two Hangover movies because he can’t be serious.
Jolly good mate, I think it's great that your sharing movies that you love. If I may suggest A Bridge Too Far. It's a fantastic WW2 film about Operation Market Garden. You come across as a humble and decent fellow, and for that you have earned my respect. So thank you.
Doing white face eh?.... Kiiidddddding! Love the costume, and thanks for the review. I feel this movie can be just as polarizing as when it was released. The things we didnt know 20 or 10 or even 5 years ago, to the things we still don't know about the mind... Very deep. On another note, I was sorry to hear about your loss Mel. Many thoughts through out the community are with you. Thanks for the vid's boss! Ggs on the joker laugh
Keep this short, I've commented twice already, and they weren't one-liners!
Whether you've seen it or not, especially if you haven't, *Machete* w/ Danny Trejo; as you say, it is
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
It's one of many films, I love to share/introduce people to. Anyone who's not seen it, go and watch it; thanking me later is not necessary!! :D
Do Dark Knight!
When he shut himself in the refrigerator that wasn’t planned he improvise it and it shocked the filming crew
Yeah I heard about that. I knew a girl that was agoraphobic, and when we would go to house parties she used to go hide in a closet to calm down for a bit because she felt it was a safe space for her when she felt freaked out. Maybe Phoenix knows people who do that and used it to show Arthur calming down.
aye, I always interpreted him going into the fridge as him chasing calm
similar to Takigyo, which is a form of Japanese meditation under a waterfall - it helps develop mental toughness by training those who endure it to "accept everything" - similar to being continually pelted by the pressures of a waterfall, an icebox would be a physical stressor to challenge one's stoicism against
I loved that scene. He’s a brilliant actor
I heard about insomnia that a cold room helps sleep so this kinda reflected.
@@jaycup4176 aye, and same effect also happens with people who take a hot shower before bed because of the temperature shift while exiting
something about the body experiencing a temp drop causes it to prep for sleep
"The worst part about having a mental illness is that people expect you to act like you don't" As someone who deals with loved ones with Mental illness that line hit so hard to me. I saw this in theaters when it came out and it really affected me.
so true
I agree - I think that's what struck so many people who watch this film. Mental Illness is still the most taboo subject with the stigma of shame and misinformation wrapped around it. We as a society haven't even come close to treating it with the respect it deserves and as a result millions upon millions are affected by it in someway.
It hit me too. I have Autism spectrum disorder.
Brother has schizophrenia it has been a wild ride to say the least, he has had the cops called on him from people being afraid of him SO MANY DAMN TIMES it's frustrating but they don't know they just see
@@Z3sty367 I feel for you - between the paranoia, the illusions of grandeur, and the complete denial of the illness at least in my case it's been very hard. Currently dealing with a housing crisis situation since the illness finally caught up with his current place it's so hard, even harder to get the right help. I hope you find success in your struggle.
You know the scariest thing about the line "The worst thing about having a mental illness is that the world expects you to act as if you didn't have one" is that I can relate to it to a degree. I have high-functioning autism and it can slip out at times if I stim, act slightly strange, talk out of nowhere, and doesn't interact with people so well.
I work in admin in a college for autistic students here in the UK. Some are 80% non-verbal but will often stim and repeat things they have heard on TV, and others are high-functioning, and you would have no idea that they are autistic. They are also the loveliest students I have ever worked with :)
I have a form of high functioning autism and I've always felt ashamed for it I'm still coming to terms with it since I've never felt normal people don't treat me like everyone else they treat me like I'm some oddity or I'm overly stupid. I'm not sure if I'm alone in feeling the way I do
@@Frombeyondthehorizon6860 You're not alone, my friend
I have sociopathy, and if anyone found out, no matter of my true intentions, I would be permanently labeled a liar and a cheat. You're lucky you have a socially acceptable disorder.
It’s really really hard to find acceptance, because when you look for it, it trickles away.
The thing I love the most is how Arthur's outbursts of laughter lessen throughout the film as he stops trying to conform to a profoundly sick society. It's like prior to that, he subconsciously gets that it's all a big joke, and so he has these outbursts that show what he really thinks about those situations. Once he stops caring about trying to fit in and be 'normal', they drop off because he's no longer trying to suppress his real self, and in the end, he becomes what society has made of him.
When you treat people like garbage who are just looking for help, well..... you get what you fucking deserve.
It's official. You are now my favorite movie reactor -critic, period. I think your analysis of the dancing being symbolic of the transformation from Arthur to Joker was very intuitive. Your criticisms are very sincere, mature, and thoughtful. It's highly appreciated.
like he can be so hilarious and goofy but then give such profound insights into the movies he’s watching. i’m going back and watching old videos and man mello is a gemmmm🥹
I love the role reversal for DeNiro, who played Rupert Pumpkin in "The King of Comedy" - the villian to Jerry Lewis' talk show host. There are a lot of ties between these films.
Pupkin*
This movie made me really emotional for some reason when I first watched it, especially during the "bathroom dance" (I even teared up a little). I fell in love with Joaquin Phoenix in this movie, his performance was incredible, and I was so mesmerized by him. It made me upset that many people criticized and hated this version of The Joker, but I think it's actually a much more realistic representation of becoming the villain and much more mature in a way how it touches the subjects such as mental illness etc.
I think that it's really powerful how, in the 3rd act, it's the climax of the movie sitting on set, and we know he planned to show up, have a couple pleasantries, and then blow his head off, but then he decides to confess to the shooting, and explain himself. Arthur has grown to stand up for himself, he defends himself, and is going to make people see him and listen to him instead of backing away and taking himself out. He argues with his idol and father figure and grows out of the last shred of his old life. Instead of suicide, he makes the "healthier" choice of killing Murray Franklin, fighting back against his problems instead of self harm to cope.
And the real tragedy is there were so many points where this spiral could have been stopped. The police could have immediately notified him of his mother and respectfully given him space. His boss could have listened to him when he was jumped. Murray Franklin even still could play Arthur's bit and tease it but end on a note of encouragement to work at it and get better. And we saw there were decent people in the world, Randall the clown coworker and the Arkham clerk but just didn't know what to do to help. If anyone in the world had just stopped and given this poor man a hug, it could have stopped. But they didnt.
Joaquin played the perfect Joker in my opinion. A lot of people can't get the nuance of Joker being over the top comedian while also being able to turn on a dime and remind you that he will slit your throat while laughing about it. Joaquin was able to do both at the same time.
This Joker did have an uncontrollable compulsive laughing disorder. It is a result of him being abused and hit in the head when he was a little boy. That's why his mom says he was always a happy little boy, he was always laughing.
This movie. THIS MOVIE!!!
Joaquin was beyond amazing here. And so many particular scenes caused me to be speechless. So magnificent. The dancing scene in the public bathroom !!!! OMG !!! Creepy yet so sad and stunning visually. The whole movie is a cinematic wonder! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
First off, gotta say thanks for going all out with the suit, makeup and editing you do. That and your sense of humor is what keeps me coming back.
Joaquin Phoenix is one of the best method actors I've ever seen. He was in a western with John C Reilly, Rutger Hauer (one of his last performances), and Jake Gyllenhaal called *The Sisters Brothers* EDIT: The Johnny Cash movie you're talking about is called Walk the Line. Another stellar performance from JP and and equally impressive performance from Reese Witherspoon. Joaquin literally transformed into Johnny Cash and even sounds a lot like him when he sings. EXCELLENT movie!
Doesn’t anyone else think that Gary is actually supposed to be a representation of Gaggy, Jokers old sidekick?
Nope
Holy shit that does fit gary. When the abulance crashed the cop car the one driving looks like joker's sidekick that was big with a mask and slow. In one of batman the series i think it was the laughing fish.
Joaquin is the only person who can act loosing it. I saw that in Gladiator and here in Joker. His eyes and face says it all but those subtle moves of his cheeks, his eyes trying to concentrate and his nervous leg moves are also excelent. You can really feel his pain and discomfort.
*Losing. But yeah, I agree with you. He is great.
I think the only thing that was in his head was the relationship with his neighbor. Everything else actually happened.
Theres a theory that it's all a twisted story he tells the psych ward doctor at the end, that it's all a lie and he finds it funny. Someone told me every clock in the movie shows the same time but I didn't see it
@@cpob2013 they do, 11:11
Dance mimicry on point. 10/10. 🔥
Edit: For me, Nicholson, Ledger, and Phoenix all killed it. They're different interpretations of the character, and I feel like they gotta be looked at as such. I can't pick a favorite. Favorites are subjective by nature, but I think they were all--objectively--quality work.
The story of Batman's parents, it varies from version to version. Some portrayals are positive, some negative, others are in the gray zone. DC and Marvel have been rebooting their characters for decades.
Just stopping by to give max respect for going all in on your costume! I did the Joker the year it came out and was washing that green stuff out of my hair for ages lol! Also, you totally nailed his laugh! Love your reactions, as you're someone who clearly really appreciates good acting and a well done story. Thanks for sharing!
I both love and hate how the "society" meme has been canonized because of this movie.
It's silly af
@C M I get that. It absolutely makes sense, but it's just hilarious that a shitpost that existed for years and stopped being funny became validated by the biggest movie of 2019.
I literally had to watch this movie 3 times in the theater to grasp the reality of this dark movie. This is up there in my top 5 greatest movies ever made!😁
Never seen a movie more than once in the theater. What's the point after you have seen it to pay so much to see the same thing
@@mikemorgan2211 its an experience man, but if you dont get it i guess you dont
i saw it 10 time in the theater,, 1 time was just shock 2-3 time i started to enjoy it,, last 7 times just for emotions loved the movie so much just kept going:)
@@mikemorgan2211 Its also a different experience watching something that hits you in public
Joaquin Phoenix took home the Oscar for Best Actor!
you NEED to watch The Master, a performance worthy of being deemed Joaquin’s best
This joker personality was more relatable. Phoenix brought out the pain and torment
I actually identified with him in the movie. (The Evolution of his character) I innerstood the loneliness & loss but also saw him coming into his own. Phoenix knocked this out of the park! Great review @Mell 👍🏾❤️
River Phoenix did apparently say that compared to Joaquin (they were brothers in case anyone here doesn't know that - Joaquin and their sister Rain (other sisters are Summer and Liberty and yes they're all their real names) were both with River at the Viper Room the night he collapsed, Joaquin was the one who called 911) his acting skills were minimal. River was a good actor and nice to hear that he supported his brother.
What I love about this performance is that whenever he's doing the Joker cackle, he's pretending to laugh at a bad joke or whatever. But when he's laughing because of his condition, it's part laughter, part tears, part coughing, and all pain.
When i First saw this movie I thought Alfred was Arthur's abuser and he left Penny to live with the waynes. Thomas knows but keeps it a secret.
Yikes... that's a disturbing headcanon, Alfred a violent abuser after the PTSD of MI6.
Oh, he did an amazing job as Johnny Cash in Walk The Line. You should definitely check it out. Possibly for the channel.
I grew up with Jack Nicholson’s joker and he will always be my favorite, however I believe the best Joker Portrayals in film go like this.
Heath Ledger
Joaquin phoenix
Jack Nicholson
But they all did amazing jobs at their roles and own styles for the character.
But I’ve never heard a theater go so quiet like it did when Heath Ledger came on screen doing that Elmer Fudd laugh “ahe aha awho aha ahe.. and I thought my jokes were bad..”
You could have heard a pin drop… I feel like there was a baby kind of crying a little and even he shut the hell up 🤣
Mark Hamill
All true. However, 'visually' Jared Leto's Joker was the best one to me. Sorry but I really did just enjoy the randomness of his look. I feel like that look definitely fit Jokers over the top, chaotic, personality.
Please watch "Planes, Trains and Automobiles"! The best Thanksgiving movie ever!
BRO FINALLY!!!!! I've never met anyone who has appreciated her as much as me he did a great job in that movie
This whole movie was a gauntlet to watch for me. I'm autistic and spent most of my childhood not just bullied by others but tortured by my peers and for a time I was in a very dark place. Watching the bathroom dance scene was uniquely difficult because at the zenith of my pain I did snap and found myself choking someone... if it weren't for one friend who snapped me back to reality I very well could have killed the kid being much larger.... And what I remember of how I felt in the moment... my hands around his throat watching his face turn colors and his eyes rolling back into his head... I felt... powerful... I felt in control.... I felt free. It's my biggest regret and this movie forced me to sit there in the theater and confront that. This movie is a powerful work of art.
30:05 The movie where he plays Johnny Cash is called ''Walk the Line''. Also, Joaquin was terrific in Gladiator probably his 3rd best performance! He is also amazing in Quills, The Master (which I hope you react too, his performance in The Master is easily for me his 2nd best performance) , Inherent Vice and You were never really here. All the films I mentioned Joaquin was absolutely mesmerizing in all of this films, but Joaquin is great in any film he is, easily one of my all time favourite actors!
The fking thumbnail alone made me cackle and I stg I’m not joking
Juaquin is a breakdancer in real life. He has always loved to dance.
If you want to see two of the greatest acting performances of all time, check out The Lighthouse (2019)
Def a great movie
My favorite Joker performances in my opinion is Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger and Joaquin Phoenix those are the three best Joker performances ever in cinema.
Those are all the cinematic Jokers minus Leto lol
i am not going to lie you look dope!! u really commit to this,,damn the Joker would be jealous, great film
@MellVerse the interesting thing about Arthur's interaction with his counselor is; when we first see Arthur with her she is literally buried in paperwork, the second time we see her the room is literally empty. Arthur complains about her attentiveness when he can't even literally read the room.
You want to see a great Joaquin performance? Try Inherent Vice by Paul Thomas Anderson. Joaquin is a stoner private eye in the late 60s early 70s. He’s trying to solve a case that ends up being more than he was ready for. He makes choices that blew my mind in a great way. He also made an impact with the same director in a film called The Master. He plays a very unstable sailor looking for something to identify with. Give them a shot.
The Master
I know it doesnt matter but the right side triangle being so much bigger than the left side is driving me crazy 😂
There was a lot of effort gone into that costume you have, and i appreciate it.
My absolute favorite reaction of this movie. Thank you 🫶🏼
I love your channel man. You always go the extra mile and are really into the movie and serious about evaluating it. I love this movie too it’s so crazy!
Oh hell you went all out with the costume holy shit
Somehow I missed this reaction! I think the scene where he dances in the bathroom, & Joker is born, is one of the most beautiful scene’s on film. And then bringing it back when he is about to go on Murray’s show, hearing the mocking as his fuel. This performance was just a diff level, Joaquin went so far above & beyond, & the fact he’s “crazy” yet speaks such truth’s whilst speaking with “Mur-ray” is just mind blowing. I could watch this a million times, & still be so impressed. 🖤🃏🃏🃏
I knew I had to subscribe when I joined in on your spartan intro without thinking about it.
I didn't really appreciate this film until now, was expecting more badass action, but this take on mental health is way more personal and relatable.
Love this movie so much. Joaquin Phoenix did a great job honoring his friend. I can see this version of joker turning into Heath ledger 🥺❤️
Great makeup man! And so crazy you kept the wig on with the head flip lol! Great movie too! I think u should be the next Joker!
This is the one movie that has an actor who for once actually nailed the skeletal appearance of The Joker, but it would've been nice to see him as The Joker for a little bit longer. That's the only weakness in this film in my opinion. I feel the final third of the movie should've been The Joker, not just the final two scenes.
Excellent outfit! You really went all out. If you want haven't seen 8mm that's one of his earliest performances. I also loved him in Signs.
Ive been binge watching all of your videos. You are going to get to 1M one day i can see it!!! Ill be right there with you watching it happen
Jesus you did a great job on the costume and facial paint.
Great vid!
Gotta disagree with you about an affair with Thomas Wayne, I think it’s completely fabricated, right down to his signature on the photograph. Notice Arthur pays it no heed and crumples the photo.
The only real evidence is the concept that Thomas Wayne is rich and arrogant, and thus must be a liar in the eyes of general people. The reality is rich people are constantly approached in that way by psychologically damaged people. Watch who comes out of the woodwork when you win a lottery. As someone who’s dated a Narcissist I can tell you their delusions go deep and they never admit the truth. His mother was a monster & Wayne just had no fucks to give imo.
Also bonus points for young Penny Fleck having more than a passing resemblance to Harley Quinn, setting up Joker’s “type” that he’d like to abuse.
Ya know? I didn't think of that the few times I've watched this movie, but that's an intriguing thought! I could totally see that.
@@thesplawn Thanks man! Which part? Lol
That could all be true and he just thinks that because he is a narcissist, but also maybe he crumpled it because he really didn't care if it was true or not anymore. She didn't protect him and let him get abused when he was a child, even if she was his foster mom, and Wayne punched him and didn't care about her and him as he says he does with all of his employees. That's the beauty of it, it really could go either way. Or it could be a version of his life that he likes and is telling this person because he likes messing with people to let their guard down. And your right about the possible Harley connection. People do tend to look for particular looks and traits in a significant other because that's what they're familiar with in their parents or siblings.
@@moonakieater2308 Maybe Arthur recognized his mother’s handwriting on the back of the photo. Someone should freeze frame & compare it to her letter to Wayne. I’m just saying it would have to be a *massive* conspiracy (something everyone with NPD thinks they’re the victim of) for her to be telling the truth, and even if she was, she herself was still a psychopathic narcissist outside of the affair.
On the other end imagine you’re Wayne and it’s not true. This woman’s been dogging you for decades, causing havoc in your marriage with her lies, and finally sending her adopted son to assault your young child and butler at your home. I think punching Arthur in the face was too nice considering the facts. Not to mention they have absolutely zero family resemblance lol
@@vartanpapazian8342 yeah, that's why I said when he saw the photo he crumpled it up because he didn't care if it was true or not. If he wanted to, Thomas could've easily used his power to stop her, don't you think? But he also could've used it to get away with it. Look at Trump.😜🤣 And I think they do have a little resemblance with the nose though, no? And that's why it's a great movie. It gives you so many conflicting things that you can come up with your own theories.
I swear I barely watch movies and tv shows anymore, just podcasts and film reactions like this. Keep it up Mell!
That wig flip in the intro was glorious, my guy
Fun Fact: The Lift Scene Was Actually Came Reference To The Weeknd's After Hours Music Videos
Man this channel is getting better and better, the effort in these intro is growing, and your love for acting is infectious. Love the channel, love you. Keep on keeping on man
MY favorite Joker is still Mark Hamill, but there have been a whole lot of fantastic interpretations of the character over the years. This movie was one of them.
The Joker is legitimately a top 100 film of all-time.
Please watch one of my favorite movies: The Neverending Story!
This one would be super fun!
I hope mell make it man, I'd love to see the brother on the big screen bro I'll pray for it.
Another great thing about this movie is the score. It's very moving, reminds me of John Williams and Jerry Goldsmith.
Yeah, from Joker to Chernobyl Hildur Guðnadóttir is incredibly talanted
love the joker fit bro, loved the breakdown of arthurs trznsformation to joker through dance
Ayo...... much love as always hope youve been good man and that family is all good, but that HAIR FLIP INTO THE 300 CLIP AT THE BEGINNING THO??
I really like your painting of your face mell verse
My guy in full makeup! Hell yeah bro, lets go!!
Yay. So glad that you’re reacting to one of my favorite movies. What I loved the most about this movie, is that while it’s lacking in action, they make the build up to ending worth it. My only gripe, is that they’re using the ‘unreliable narrative’ for this movie. So basically everything we’re seeing and learning about this Joker might not even be real.
Yes! Please, please, please do Walk the Line next! That's the move in which he portrayed Johnny Cash, and he killed it!
Very good movie! I forgot her name but the girl killed it too!
@@ryanbuckley5529 Reese Witherspoon.
@@michaelroy2054 Thx, that’s definitely a good one
@@ryanbuckley5529 Yes, indeed.
Hard to believe this was directed by same guy who directed Road Trip, Old School and the Hangover trilogy
The sad thing about that fact Is that he Can't do that kind of movies anymore, not without been canceled or even been suppourted by production houses.
I think I heard something like he only actually laughs once or twice during this movie every other time it's from his condition when he's sad, angry, embarrassed, ect.
Mr. Phoenix is insane in this film. I’ve had a crush on him since he was Leif and was in Parenthood.
That fridge scene is like a cook taking a breather in the walk-in fridge after a wild rush. In essence…. I feel it 😂
While a 9.5/10 awesome movie and an acting tour-de-force, this is not the best Joker. The Joker might be insane, but he's a criminal and a natural leader. Joaquin Phoenix's Joker would be eaten alive by the REAL criminal underworld. Heath Ledger is closer to the comic book Joker than any other film adaptation.
Again, I really love this movie. I just can't get behind the idea that this is the "REAL" Joker.
Fun Fact: In the scene where Arthur is in the audience of a comedy club, the performing comedian is Gary Gulman, who is an actual stand-up comic. The bit he performs about role-playing with his girlfriend can be heard on Gulman's 2012 "No Can Defend" album.
Also fun fact. The comedian who’s on stage right before it’s Arthur’s turn to go up at the club is Todd Phillips.
It is an adabtation
A crazy guy is more likely to not be a genius you know
I think Joaquin and Heath are both incredible joker
Mark Hammil is my favorite joker- but I don't think anyone will top Heath Ledger's performance in a live action setting anytime soon. Probably never. He was truly consumed by that role.
asshole ...Heath Ledger proved you wrong.
This Joker worked for this movie. Yet he has absolutely no criminal experience and up against Batman, he really needs to be an actual criminal.
The score is absolutely amazing. F'n beautiful. That bathroom dance. Love it. This is a superb film.
Looking good 👍I recently had the pleasure of experiencing this movie at the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall with an orchestra playing the score, it was phenomenal.
Man I did not know that was a thing, but I'm now sad I wasn't there
@@BobertSands it was a touring production so keep an eye out. Also it had been postponed from last summer because of you know what.
My God, son! You look amazing in that costume and make-up!!! AWESOME 😊
Joker is the most important cultural commentary piece of at least the last decade.
I saw this with my dad and the first thing I said when it was done was, “ I felt kinda uncomfortable watching this”. Also funny story, I was working two jobs during the filming of this so I’m mind wasn’t on movies or anything. I totally forgot they would be filming in Newark. I got off the bus on my way to penn station and I was so confused. I thought I got off at the wrong stop. I was literally spinning around trying to figure out where I was at
You know every time I've heard this joker laugh, I would always try to figure out like what the laughter sound like. And now I got it. It's he's laughing to keep from crying. Like he's a literally on the edge of snapping but there's only one or two things that may be holding him back. And that's sad and creepy at the same time. How many people have been in that position where they're just literally laughing to keep from crying and they haven't been pushed over the edge yet? Anyone at some point in their lives have been in that position. But they haven't been pushed enough.
I think he used the grief from losing his brother River to help bring this iteration to life
I think you would Love “Green Street Hooligans” has ol Frodo Baggins in it, amazing film.
Great movie
I thought that with Arthur going up them big steps as a uphill battle against himself, then the first thing joker does in costume is go down them as a decent into madness
Bwahahahaha I had no idea this was your vid until I skipped to "oooooooooohhhh" at like 18secs and knew immediately lol
This is the best & real interpretation of The Joker. Love the makeup btw
Awesome Work Bro, Thanks 👍😀 Greetings from Helsinki, Finland 🇫🇮🇺🇸🇫🇮🇺🇸
I think The Joker was truly born after the car crash and into chaos. Nice show bud keep up the good work.
Amazing thumbnail!!!!
Would love for you to react to Stand By Me, Mel! One of my top 3 favourite films, and River Phoenix (Joaquin’s older brother) is in it! That family sure are talented people
Damn yo you went all out for this jaunt hell yah💯
Yo Mell, I've been watching your reactions for a min now. I had to Sub bro ...Keep doing it!
I am grateful that this movie was so well received in terms of film making and also mental health awareness. In today's harsh social climate where there is an oversaturation of people adapting and self diagnosing mental illness just to have an identity, it's become even harder to ask for help, and reach out if you're the one looking to help, because you can't be sure whether to take the person seriously or not, or if you yourself can be taken seriously. But if we can, it is our responsibility still to look after ourselves. Arthur is just an example of someone who was truly doomed. Amazing movie in all regards. Joaquin killed it in this one.
Fun fact: Arthur Fleck's boss is played by the actor who voiced Raphael in the the OG TMNT movies.

You can almost smell how Scorsese helped to make this movie. Love it.
Btw the part where you asked if the cinema scene was that funny, was Chaplin dude hahaha.
"HA-hA-hhu-Haa!" SUPER CATS! HA!
This movie was art. Plain and simple. I loved it. But then again, I love flipping perspectives and seeing who the villans are.
