A friend of mine who lived in New York caught the dancing scene from Joker being filmed last year. He said it took roughly seven hours or so the take, so thankfully he didn't yell out the window.
Imagine looking out your bedroom window watching some random dude in clown makeup dancing on the stairs unaware you are watching cinema history being made in front of you.
Once again 176 under the 4 train is a very dangerous area a lot of those people are lucky that they even had only a couple police to protect them otherwise they probably would have been held up at gunpoint or knifepoint by the Crips and the bloods in that area I know I'm from that area I live exactly maybe four or five stops away Mosholu Parkway Tracey Towers so yeah 176 and Jerome Avenue
I studied acting in college and played a lot of parts in love performances. So I understand how difficult it can be to constantly be trying to get into character after being told "Cut. Do it again." But movies must be an entirely different monster. Working on a single shot all day. It must be incredibly difficult to get into character/stay in character all day long.
@@ganeshgaitondethegamer8303 wrong, Joaquin is a smoker irl so he would've smoke for real but they would've used herbal cigarettes that dont have tobacco or nicotine because if you smoke too many in a row you can get extremely sick and start vomiting, as a smoker myself it's clear that hes actually smoking and it's not done in editing
Kurt P I heard phoenix is trying to quit smoking so the smoking has to be edited. Even non tobacco or nictotine cigs can get him back to the habit of smoking
@@AhmedSalah-ir7wp I reckon he is trying to quit but at the beginning of this video you can clearly see him exhale smoke so he actually was smoking, I doubt they would edit it in considering he still smokes now and this movie was shot awhile ago
That’s 100% true cuz my room is a few floors off the ground so it’s high enough that I have a vantage point, but low enough that I can hear the conversations of people on the streets. I am always watching and waiting even when people think they’re alone
I'm curious why you didnt upload this prior the film released, did you do it out of respect, did you not have the footage from your friend yet, did you sign a contract? Anyone else would've most likely leaked it. I applaud you for not leaking it though.
Edwin gets me wondering if moments like these are felt and expected to become iconic, or does it take the actual moment of viewing whole film for something to resonant? Years ago I lived by an art house cinema just before the owner retired, he scheduled the last six months of it to be free or donations to see what he thought were the best movies of all time. I got chance to see so many famous films for the first time and in the big screen. Many of them lived up to the cultural references and satires like the ending of Casablanca, the head spinning in Exorcist or “here’s Johnny” in Shining. However after a lifetime of seeing a lip locked couple rolling in the surf, I was shocked how little screen time the erotic moment was “Here to Eternity” yet became an image replayed at Oscars and mimicked on Family Guy etc. the Joker stairway scene is so incredible, but watching it in this snippet from this perspective and reading about it taking 7hours to film makes me wonder that maybe it was just one of many great scenes that were being created, an it wasn’t until post production that the pace of film and the brilliance of actor’s submerged turmoil that editing is when the moment first became something worth leaking. Our hindsight is amazed havent seen this clip yet but our minds loved the surprise of seeing it today
Sorry for the late reply! As I stated in the description and pinned my comment this was recorded from a friend of mine who lived in New York at the time of recording. I didn't record this, that's why I never released them earlier.
When I noticed this was filmed through a window I just imagined sitting there watching a movie scene being recorded outside my apartment that would be so epic
He is simply the hottest thing on earth. I wish Todd would release all the BTS and blooper footage. Trust me, we wanna see it! Sincerely, women everywhere.
Joaquín is just talking to the crew, and he looks fuckin badass in his costume. What an amazing actor to an amazing character in one of the most amazing movies out there.
That is one of the greatest dance scenes I have ever seen. He only needed five steps of the feet to make a masterpiece. I'm super excited for Joker 2 now.
Wish we had a camera back in the day they were filming the dark knight by my buddies house Heath Ledger was there in full costume and makeup riding a skateboard around
@Деки Oh fuck, u right. Forgot religion never killed anyone, doesn't make people opress their feelings, and is not used in any way to manipulate people into doing anything, my bad
@Деки so let me get this straight. You say that we can't joke about ethnicity and religion. Then you point out that people get triggered easily. And then you get triggered 😂 Typical
I love that Joker. Joaquin is so cool and such a good actor. He is the best Joker. I felt sorry for him bcause they were so mean to Arthur. He had no friends and they hurt him.
Met Joaquin on set here in nyc long before this scene. Crazy it’s the same dude. Just watched this the other day, wild movie and performance. This staircase is still in the hood so it’s still crazy to me ppl just out there like that…. But happy for the residents that got to see this.
Yousef Qasrawi Understandable, i mean marvel can make old actors look younger and make big guys like Chris Evans look like a toothpick. While DC can make a handsome man like Henry Cavill look like a cancer patient...
Who knows if this story from Joaquin Phoenix is real or not - because half the time you can't believe anything he says in interviews, lol - but in some interview he talks about while they were filming that scene, there were college kids in apartments yelling, "Hey, Phoenix, you suck!" :D
It's interesting this actor doesn't like praise because it can make you feel like you have done enough. When you think about it a lot of artists struggle for long periods of time with zero recognition and that's how they became so awesome. Free from validation gives endless drive.
