I love how Todd Phillips gives the majority of credits to Joaquin for his breathtaking performances and even credits the stuntman and other workers on set by names. It really gives a much more humble and sincere vibe to his presentation.
Yeah exactly not.many people give props to the stunt men.. You can tell he is a good director tho knowing the names of all the people and seeing how hard they woke for the part.
@@elliecreativeculture this line shows his bosses own hypocrisy as before he asks Arthur why a bunch of kids would jump him for his sign. This could also be responded to with "why does anyone do anything" , and yet he doesn't see any flaw in his thought process.
Right? It seems to me that when directors talk about the behind the scenes, and how they put the movie together, they most of the time only talk about the special effects and all. It’s refreshing to hear a director not only talk about the special effects, but also the reason behind the scene, what the character is supposed to be feeling in the moment, and even giving props to the stunt double. I commented this on his last Instagram post. I hope he sees it so he can continue to do projects like this.
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?

This made me realize something. Later in the movie when Joker is running in Arkhym I thought his running technique was an odd choice. I just realised he ran like that because this character would be accustomed to running in large awkward shoes.
I thought the same thing! Also, in the very last scene, the footprints he left were also spread apart like he were wearing clown shoes. The attention to detail is everything in this movie.

@@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.
@@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.
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.
Never in my life have I seen a non-horror movie that is so hard to watch. Arthur gets so much undeserved physical and emotional pain in this scene. And then he turns into the Joker, turning you as the viewer unable to feel for him any more, even though you want to. This movie is an emotional blender.
I was started getting emotional for Arthur when the kids snatched the sign, it got stronger as he ran then it hit me pretty hard when he was smacked then kicked like in elementary. When the flower cried I knew nothing was going to get better. I didn't know that was supposed to be him trying to positive. It crushed my soul.
MON Ahumada Well said man. This movie truly makes you sad/angry/upset at how mistreated Arthur is. It really gives you a different perspective as to WHY Arthur eventually “dies” and Joker is born in his place, the clown prince of crime. Just the sight of him laying there, in pain, ugh. I was gutted.
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!!!
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
Man this scene was so sad, the way he was happy expressing himself dancing in an otherwise dark, gloomy street and a minute later is lying on the ground beaten with his hands between his legs like a little kid and that painfully sad face. Just makes you want to cry.
tbh having seen it in cinemas, i think you could have gotten a more 'authentic' feel with a digital technique. the title in my (digital) cinema projection didn't look specially manual/chemical, looked like a bad digital title. but i appreciate the effort they went to.
Candypie 2010 tell me about it. This young couple used their phones through the movie in my row and eventually took a flash picture! Crazy kids with their fancy phones....
I absolutely loved the last shot with the title card. The word “JOKER” imposing upon the screen so dominantly, queued beautifully with the thunderous notes of the music. Really haunting moment, sets the tone of despair for the rest of the film
No one taught arther that it’s ok to be sad. He didn’t need to smile if he didn’t want to. His mom always told him to he needs to put on a happy face, she never told him to be happy. I feel like it pressured him to hide his pain and sufferings
@@grumpee8432 for starters Todd never said that 2 him and the actor talked about doing a sequel so if this joker just inspires the other jokers then you can't do a sequel.
Actually it can be multiple choice. It can be what Grum pee was saying or it can be the actual starter of the joker or it can be a delusion and never it happened. It can mean lots of different ways and todd said that be wont reveal the truth rn but eventually will. Its a mystery with probably four possible outcomes but we wont know until they do a sequel. They are not going to add batman or Harley quinn because it will just ruin it and todd said that he is definitely not going to add those characters in
I’m so happy I heard him talk about Joaquin’s “run” because he did have a very specific run that was super unique and showed even more character depth. It’s really geeky and awkward and worked so well for the character. I loved this movie Edit: Joaquins take on the jokers run with AND without the big clown shoes was very unique to me the whole movie. I feel like even when he didn’t have the shoes on he still ran very comically. Certainly not an athlete, and it fit so well. Oscar, please!!!
Peyton Olson is a “clown run” my buddie is a party clown and he said that they run like that cause of the shoes. But Phoenix definitely add some things to it, it was amazing
The movie haunts me , the music is brilliant , Joaquin is astonishing , it's a unforgettable experience. It's a brilliant poetic movie. Mr. Philips , you're a genius. Mr. Phoenix , prepare your speech.
I feel like a lot of people are talking about how great the movie is as a whole (and it is great, one of the best I’ve ever seen) but nobody is talking specifically about how beautiful the cinematography was. Like this was without a doubt the most beautifully shot movie I have ever seen.
Ikr, I very much appreciated the angles of some scenes, the slow close ups and fade outs that played so well into depicting exactly the emotions that the scenes wished to portray. In every shot I was stirred just the right amount of unsettled, intrigued, amused, and awed.. Overall, just brilliant.
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!
@@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?
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.
@@InDisskyS131 what's the point of trying to be a jerk man? I'm just expressing how the scene effected me and you come in with a sacrastic & condescending statement.
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
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.
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.
"He's still Joker. He's still seeing comedy in this moment of pain." By the end of the movie, the chaos is funny, we're fully inside the eyes of Joker. It's an astonishing character study of the descent into madness. #Joker
Yeeeeeaaaahh 😟😞 I enjoyed the ending a little too, too much 😅😳. I bust out laughing when he shot Murray and laughed again when he shot him a second time. I think there's much to what your saying (for meee) because I didn't laugh when he shot the 3 Douches of Wall Street. And I think that part was more violent and messy.
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
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
I think he is referring to something that is a big movie, an actual blockbuster but still pure cinema, as in top notch breathtaking acting, photography and emotional impact. And I agree with him there. It's been a long time since a movie like that has been released. In the 90ies and before that it was a more regular thing when those kind of high quality movies that left you rattled and thinking about them for weeks were also blockbusters. Frankly, nowadays most movies don't leave an impression on me. I watch them and sometimes I realize the next day that I didn't even think about them at all the previous evening.
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.
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.
@@KaiAl-d8o The first movie talk about how the society fail to take care of illness people, the more helpless. Arthur wanted to be cared since the beginning, he said himself that he's not political.
@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.
This entire scene brought me to tears in the theatre. I still feel emotional watching it here and will probably feel the same way when I see it again. 10/10 Joaquin you were amazing.
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.
@@achyuththouta6957 Yeah, all that production takes time to do too. So it'll almost be like making a documentary on the film, which would be so freaking cool btw if they ever did it.
The dancing was actually improvised by joaquin phoenix. In the script he was only hiding his gun in that room but as they were shooting the scene, todd philips was playing the score on set and phoenix began dancing to it.
SPOILER: This Joker isn't crazy. When he dicides to spare the life of the little man because he says "you were the only one nice to me", it shows some sort of compassion. 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.
The people who didn't like it because it was "too dark" most likely never had it rough in life. Joker is a symbol of our anger, depression, and tortured personalities in my opinion.
It’s unsettling for people who have mental issues and anxiety. It gets so real that it starts triggering anxiety in viewers. I love this movie. I watched it twice. But I had to keep taking deep breaths because this movie is depicting the ugly side of life perfectly.
@@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
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
His laugh is perfect to his character because you can’t quite tell if he’s laughing or crying
Emily Griffith the fact the he laughed and made a sad face at the same is why he deserves that Oscar 🙌🏼🙌🏼
He cried every single time until the last scene the last scene was his only real laugh
gabe ortiz dude get over mark Hamill. He's never even played the joker.
Arthur has four different laughs... pathological/uncontrollable, fake, psycho and truly happy.
Aaron Hollander nailed it
I love how Todd Phillips gives the majority of credits to Joaquin for his breathtaking performances and even credits the stuntman and other workers on set by names. It really gives a much more humble and sincere vibe to his presentation.
Yeah exactly not.many people give props to the stunt men.. You can tell he is a good director tho knowing the names of all the people and seeing how hard they woke for the part.
Yeah man I thought so too. I was watching the credits and I was so surprised to see the caterers getting credited
I wish this film featured more of the joker's wits...
You are right. I like to think that it is his humbleness allowed him to get better, to become such a great director, to make this great movie.
Joaquin should get an oscar for that performance. Its just like heath, no doubt.

@@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.
burnerdaughter I see, thank you for your explanation ☺️☺️
I mean.... he is wearing clown shoes though
@@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.
Funny how he refers to the character as Arthur and not Joker, kind of informs the thought process.
Because... it is Arthur for most of the movie? Why would he call him joker if for most of the film he is struggling as Arthur?
michael acquah Arthur , just one more score and we got enough money to leave .
The movie was original going to be called Arthur
Joker only shows up at the end.
No it doesn’t
"He's there to make people laugh.He's still seeing comedy in this moment of pain"
Now that's an ironic punchline.
ITA...that comment is profoundly beautiful.
But is that really what it was? It didn’t really seem like that at first. Maybe I’m missing something.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. Oh, what the heck, I'll laugh anyway!

I wish all directors put this much thought into their filming. Joker is art.
Sam Esmail did with Mr. Robot
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.
Actually, a lot of movies do have that much thought put into them. They just are probably not the mainstream blockbuster movies.

This is real movie making, most movies are just money making unfortunately...
Never in my life have I seen a non-horror movie that is so hard to watch. Arthur gets so much undeserved physical and emotional pain in this scene. And then he turns into the Joker, turning you as the viewer unable to feel for him any more, even though you want to. This movie is an emotional blender.

I was started getting emotional for Arthur when the kids snatched the sign, it got stronger as he ran then it hit me pretty hard when he was smacked then kicked like in elementary. When the flower cried I knew nothing was going to get better. I didn't know that was supposed to be him trying to positive. It crushed my soul.
MON Ahumada Well said man. This movie truly makes you sad/angry/upset at how mistreated Arthur is. It really gives you a different perspective as to WHY Arthur eventually “dies” and Joker is born in his place, the clown prince of crime.
Just the sight of him laying there, in pain, ugh. I was gutted.
For me, I found it reminiscent of a bleeding heart, because the flower was right over his heart.
Samuel Nakai Such a subtle detail but it adds so much impact to the moment.
I can’t even watch it too much because it hurts. I would do anything to jump into that scene and help him. :(
what flower are you reffering too?
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!!!
Great observation.
Loved him in Gladiator

Jacob Hudman funniest thing in the whole movie
Joaquin's joker gave us something with the Joker we never had before: humanity
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.
Matt Greek ESASC Yeah you’re right there is some with Leto. I really struggled to watch his Joker
@@BluePineapple72 I loved it. I honestly thought it was an incredible movie.
UMMM NO.
You can't say Joaquin is the only one when there are a lot of comics where we see Joker's humanity side. Specially the Killing Joke. 1988
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
Man this scene was so sad, the way he was happy expressing himself dancing in an otherwise dark, gloomy street and a minute later is lying on the ground beaten with his hands between his legs like a little kid and that painfully sad face. Just makes you want to cry.
I'm about to drop kick some kids for this joker 😔
I actually bout to get teary eyed..but I kept a popcorn in my mouth..I felt better
Painful indeed! His voice, his desperation when he is chasing them and then the beating 😔
I couldn’t stop cry when I saw his pain.
Yes I agree all his life he was abused great movie will see it again

@@maxheller7815 they...... never said it wasn't
People go threw that in real.life I'm one of them
I absolutely loved the last shot with the title card. The word “JOKER” imposing upon the screen so dominantly, queued beautifully with the thunderous notes of the music. Really haunting moment, sets the tone of despair for the rest of the film
The beauty of DC Black.
I like how he uses "Joaquin" and "Arthur" interchangeably. Joaquin really carried the weight of Arthur's character.
Surya lmfao because they’re real people
Emiliano Brooks-Luna
Arthur isn’t real.
"You never really know someone until you see them run," sounds such a Joker thing to say haha, love it.
No one taught arther that it’s ok to be sad. He didn’t need to smile if he didn’t want to. His mom always told him to he needs to put on a happy face, she never told him to be happy. I feel like it pressured him to hide his pain and sufferings
interesting way to look at it, but then again he was sad his entire life and that kinda isn't okay haha
Before, I only thought Joker's laughter is mischievous and plain evil. After watching this movie, I saw the side of pain and anger. And it's haunting.
This movies portrayal of Joker is the influence for the Joker that became Batman’s antagonist.
@@grumpee8432 no it isn't
dragging no please elaborate.
@@grumpee8432 for starters Todd never said that
2 him and the actor talked about doing a sequel so if this joker just inspires the other jokers then you can't do a sequel.
Actually it can be multiple choice. It can be what Grum pee was saying or it can be the actual starter of the joker or it can be a delusion and never it happened. It can mean lots of different ways and todd said that be wont reveal the truth rn but eventually will. Its a mystery with probably four possible outcomes but we wont know until they do a sequel. They are not going to add batman or Harley quinn because it will just ruin it and todd said that he is definitely not going to add those characters in
I’m so happy I heard him talk about Joaquin’s “run” because he did have a very specific run that was super unique and showed even more character depth. It’s really geeky and awkward and worked so well for the character. I loved this movie
Edit: Joaquins take on the jokers run with AND without the big clown shoes was very unique to me the whole movie. I feel like even when he didn’t have the shoes on he still ran very comically. Certainly not an athlete, and it fit so well. Oscar, please!!!
He was running like a clown which was great!
It's definitely awkward, but I wouldn't say it's geeky. Arthur runs that way due to the weight he is used to when he wears his big clown shoes.
thats how i run 😭
Peyton Olson is a “clown run” my buddie is a party clown and he said that they run like that cause of the shoes. But Phoenix definitely add some things to it, it was amazing
My band and I uploaded surf rock and our own original guitar tunes , subscribeee if you enjoy more stuff coming soon
The movie haunts me , the music is brilliant , Joaquin is astonishing , it's a unforgettable experience. It's a brilliant poetic movie.
Mr. Philips , you're a genius.
Mr. Phoenix , prepare your speech.
I feel like a lot of people are talking about how great the movie is as a whole (and it is great, one of the best I’ve ever seen) but nobody is talking specifically about how beautiful the cinematography was. Like this was without a doubt the most beautifully shot movie I have ever seen.
Ikr, I very much appreciated the angles of some scenes, the slow close ups and fade outs that played so well into depicting exactly the emotions that the scenes wished to portray. In every shot I was stirred just the right amount of unsettled, intrigued, amused, and awed..
Overall, just brilliant.
Watch Mr. Robot if you want 4 seasons of brilliant cinematography. You get 46 episodes of genius.
Really, ever? I mean, it's a beautifully shot movie, but there are movies like Blade Runner 2049, The Revenant or Mad Max Fury Road out there.
It's nice, sure, but have you seen 2001 or Citizen Kane?
You haven't watched the revenant then

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.
"Unsettling tone" exactly how I felt throughout the whole movie, excellent execution

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.
"He's still Joker. He's still seeing comedy in this moment of pain." By the end of the movie, the chaos is funny, we're fully inside the eyes of Joker. It's an astonishing character study of the descent into madness.
#Joker
Yeeeeeaaaahh 😟😞 I enjoyed the ending a little too, too much 😅😳. I bust out laughing when he shot Murray and laughed again when he shot him a second time. I think there's much to what your saying (for meee) because I didn't laugh when he shot the 3 Douches of Wall Street. And I think that part was more violent and messy.
@@justadjustor8993 This is what I think, but I was waiting for enough time to share it... yesgregyes.com/jokers-punchline/#.XcQh4S2ZN0s
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. i was dying of laughter when he shot murray and when he was on top of the police car with everyone clapping
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!!

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.
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
I like how much he cares, how much he thought about each individual scene. I think that’s why it was such a great movie.

I think he is referring to something that is a big movie, an actual blockbuster but still pure cinema, as in top notch breathtaking acting, photography and emotional impact. And I agree with him there. It's been a long time since a movie like that has been released. In the 90ies and before that it was a more regular thing when those kind of high quality movies that left you rattled and thinking about them for weeks were also blockbusters. Frankly, nowadays most movies don't leave an impression on me. I watch them and sometimes I realize the next day that I didn't even think about them at all the previous evening.
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.

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.
How can the same director that put such detail and love into this movie go and make a sequel that destroys everything in it
i know at least with Terminator 3 you could understand why, but this makes no sense at all
@@AC-LING666 maybe they forced him to do that cuz the first movie has an idea of fighting against the media and the elites
@@KaiAl-d8o The first movie talk about how the society fail to take care of illness people, the more helpless. Arthur wanted to be cared since the beginning, he said himself that he's not political.
Yep. This video inspired me when it originally came out.
He had the score written and played while filming just to set the tone not only for the scenes but affect his staff. That's intense.

SPOILER: This Joker isn't crazy. When he dicides to spare the life of the little man because he says "you were the only one nice to me", it shows some sort of compassion. 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.
The best movie I ever seen in life
In The Killing Joke comic, you can also clearly see he wasn't any mad guy before becoming Joker. He just wanted to ensure his son's future.
@@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.
Watch the movie again, he is definately more than a broken individual. He's pretty insane
There are many kinds of "crazy". And they don't all mean "evil" or unable to show compassion. So yeas, this Joker was still very crazy.
The people who didn't like it because it was "too dark" most likely never had it rough in life. Joker is a symbol of our anger, depression, and tortured personalities in my opinion.
FACTS
Ok boomer
It’s unsettling for people who have mental issues and anxiety. It gets so real that it starts triggering anxiety in viewers. I love this movie. I watched it twice. But I had to keep taking deep breaths because this movie is depicting the ugly side of life perfectly.
@@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.
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.
Im glad Todd Phillips is proud of this film. He did a fantastic job on writing/directing

"When you give me an Oscar, can you introduce me as Joker?"
They really should do that.
