Yeah, I always thought that this was yet another case of an artist wishing to foil previous work. Maybe Bobby just doesn't wanna discuss it at the moment.
@BoredHub no not at all it doesn’t represent the one bad day that is the Killing Joke the joker is slowly losing his mind. It’s definitely inspired by King of Comedy and Taxi Driver
@@parulgarg4502 well, when it compared to heath ledger's joker imo. Also it's the least accurate joker of all the jokers. And yeah I agree with you, it's not good enough to compare it to masterpiece taxi driver
@@bbbllsels2773 tbh there's no sense in comparing this with Heath ledger's joker it's not based on comics and it's is a complete different version of Nolan's joker.... it's more of a character study on isolation rather than nihilism
Maybe the man doesn't like the character and tried to stay away from his(joker's) motives and his rather explosive psyche... I love how he sort of goes around the questions , instead of answering them. And the lack of a "deep philosophical conversation" actually proves his intentions to generally avoid the 🃏 Good, kind hearted man
I have seen taxi driver, but i haven't seen king of comedy but apparently the director liberally borrowed from these movies to make Joker.. So, i guess that's why he wouldn't be suprised by it..
Don't use clicbait in the title. He clearly said that he understood the theme of the movie, and how wouldn't he? Guy has done the same thing 40 years before this, of course understands it. And to those who are saying that Robert prbbly doesn't like the character's motives and morals then you are highly mistaken coz this is the guy who has played every type of Gangster role one can think of. He was in Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Godfather II, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, Irishman and so on...So he's never gonna have any trouble doing or associating with violent roles. Here he's just being his usual self - not really interested in interview and acting like audience-oriented presenter. He's always been a little introverted and just doesn't like to follow most of the conventional media- showbiz rubbish.
Robert De Niro should have played Batman when he was younger. His subtle acting style works for his character and Bruce Wayne. Considering he is from NYC, he could embody a wealthy Gotham socialite with ease. De Niros portrayal of a similarly troubled, lonely and capable character such as Neil from heat in my mind displays he can portray Batman well. I would have wanted to have him play opposite a Joker played by Mel Gibson. The overall movie would have needed a really polished style befit Deniro; allow Bob to write some of his own lines in and let her rip
@@Karlebow571 both good choices. Pesci as the penguin would be especially cool, a truly unhinged Penguin. I also like Mel Gibson as the Joker. Imagine an evil Martin Riggs, a true madman. Contrast that with DeNiro and his subtle acting style, clean Gotham and in my mind you have a really cool, almost believable Batman movie.
@@gvngbvngiggy I don't see how it's weird. Gibson has excelled at playing unhinged characters such as Martin Riggs and Conrad Fairbanks in The Expendables for example. DeNiro has a subtle acting style and has played loners, vigilantes such as Travis Bickle in Taxi Driver. Polished such as young Vito Corleone in the Godfather. In my mind, it wouldn't be a huge undertaking for DeNiro to be a happy median of those two characters without the moral failings. Mel Gibson as the joker would play a true psychopath. Think of a Martin Riggs gone bad and wearing face paint, purple suits, etc. The precedent is there for both men
Its awesome to see you uploading again!! I hate that you deleted all your wonderful content!! Ppl needed to hear what you had to say bud!! Hope you're well and staying blessed!!!
Yeah i think deniro is just so entrenched in art that he's like the fish being told by the other fish, "nice water today, huh?" Deniro fish replies, "what the fuck is water?" None of it is all that profound to him because he's seen every story every theme everything that every story's ever had to say.
I don't think it's that he doesn't care, he's just old as shit now. You can see in the clip with Todd he vaguely remembers talking about something with him but has to be reminded of other details. No disrespect to the legend, but he was young in the 70s, look at Scorsese now
Deniro just phones every performance in now. He's so great and experienced that he's still rock solid in everything, but he never has that something special anymore.
Thomas Lee that’s crazy imo. i mean its ur opinion but in the irishman i was actually kind of expecting just an ok performance that would be super fitting for a gangster movie but he blew me the fuck away. i thought he should have been nominated for best actor imo
When I was watching Taxi Driver my mom came in and she said why would you want to watch something like this what is wrong with you why would you watch this find something else right now
De Niro made amazing masterpieces in cinema, he is a legend so show some respect whoever wrote that title. Also, I think Joaquin Phoenix doesn't show respect to De Niro and their relationship seems tense.
It's more like you don't understand De Niro, lol. I don't know what's more embarrassing to the times we live in: trying to "analyze" the Joker, or picking "The Shining" as the Kubrick movie to dissect and find deep meaning in, lol. De Niro hardly ever talks about his classic roles in any detail, I seriously doubt that the guy who was in "The Deer Hunter", "Raging Bull", "The Godfather Part II", "Taxi Driver", "The King Of Comedy", "The Mission", "Goodfellas", "Cape Fear", "Jackie Brown", "Mean Streets", "Brazil", "Awakenings", "Casino", (Etc etc) is going to sit there and give you some pretentious dissection of a dopey comic book movie.
I think Juaquins loves that Niro doesn't take himself seriously but I'm like very sure that he sees that Niro doesn't even take the craft of acting seriously either...unlike his past. He seems disappointed in Niro hence over-the-top clapping and laughing. It sounds disapproving than reassuring.
@@saketadarsh7606 When you can't make a good argument so you bring in the box office differences between a movie released in the 70's to a comic book movie released in 2019.
DeNiro is such a great actor but has always been a lousy interview. It would be interesting to talk about the character of Joker and to see how society has really messed this guy up. If you objectively watch the movie and see how badly this man is treated by society. In the beginning of the movie, a bunch of teenagers steal his sign that he’s using to advertise a going out of business sale for a store. He’s dressed up as a clown and he’s out front of the store trying to draw in customers. He runs after the teenagers and they wind up jumping him in an alley and crack the wooded sign across his face and kick him and stomp on him while he’s down. He’s just a poor mentally challenged guy on medication that has trouble dealing with society. It would of been interesting to really talk about the movie and get the feelings of the actors who created these characters. But DeNiro. Doesn’t seem to want to participate and talk about the movie. It’s a shame too because it seems to be art imitating life and the movie really has something to say about us in society. I would of really enjoyed DeNiro’s perspective on the characterization and the feelings that the character represents. I consider it a lost opportunity.
I'm no fan of DeNiro, but I do have to sort of defend him here: I think when they interviewer says Murray "pushed him into becoming" the Joker, Deniro interpreted it to mean that Murray consciously encouraged him to take on the new persona, kind of like a therapist encouraging someone to make changes in their life... and DeNiro seemed a little confused by this. I could see him trying to process this and thinking, "What the hell are you talking about? My character wasn't even aware of his identity, much less try to convince him to become this 'Joker'. " IMHO it was an ambiguously-worded question, and it just threw DeNiro.
Di Niro a grandified same -bit-character since 1972 on a stage with Joaquin Phoenix ?? Phoenix never plays a role remotly as himself.Evidently that IS all DiNiro can do.Himself
What? You think robert deniro from Cape fear is same as rd in taxi driver which is same as rd in raging bul same as goodfellas which is same as awakening which is same as rd in meet the fockers? What do you mean
@@utkarshpandey6424 RU-vid comments are open to intelligent people as well as idiots like myself. Its my opinion and obviously 99% of film fans will disagree and fine. I may be wrong. NOT that he is NOT a good actor,I have seen him in very few films where he broke away and acted a character not the central one he mostly plays.But in comparring him to some (not many) fine actors like Daniel Day Lewis and many British actors who simply are different in 30 roles,never repeating their own personality. Again, I do respect other people's opinions. PFOOF: ALL of us decide which film to watch and often we decide not to watch a n actor who can't act but plays himself each time.
Get your political opinion out of the way and comment something constructive relating to the video next time. Who cares if deniro dislikes trump, there’s millions others out there that do too. He’s a pos anyway.
