Mariz Brillantes the movie is just sad imo. He just wanted someone that will show genuine care but not a damn person did and blame it on his condition he can’t control.
No such person exist, living anyways! Now if your on deaths door like Doc holiday maybe but you still have some survival instinct it’s hard wired even when people try to ignore it.
When he finds out that he was adopted and beaten as a child, he tries to cry, but all that can come out is laughter. This really broke me in the theater 😪
It's sad to think about the fact that all Joker needed was a single friend. Or maybe someone to laugh with. I'm deadass gonna start helping every weird or lonely kid i see.
If Phoenix doesn’t win Best Actor, nothing makes sense anymore. Update: Alright Phoenix got the nomination. One step closer to the big win!! Update: HE GOT IT!! HELL YEAH!! PHOENIX IS LIFE!!
Arnold Patterson I couldn’t agree more. He is the new Leonardo DiCaprio, which is ironic since he will more than likely be going up against the REAL Leonardo DiCaprio.
One of the best acting/lines in my opinion is "why are you wearing makeup?" "My mom died, I'm celebrating" just the way he says it so calmly but sarcastically, Idk. Just great acting overall
@@xtopfragz9379 the base of the joke: everyone laughed when I said I was going to become a comedian because everyone thought I could never become even a bad comedian, I was so unfunny. Nobody's laughing now because they were right and I'm not funny, I'm a terrible comedian. That's a decent enough joke on its own if delivered in a right way at the right time. The thing that makes it hilarious, in a morbid kind of way, is who delivers it in the movie. Namely, the Joker in the making. Just superimpose the image of the Joker over Arthur delivering this joke and try to imagine what the audience is like? Does no one laugh because he's unfunny? Or because everyone's dead?
this entire movie was hilarious without even trying, i was laughing really hard almost the whole time. the humor somewhat resembles that of tom & jerry’s but perfectly done in live action. i very rarely buy blu-rays but i’m getting this one without a doubt, classic fucking film.
This makes no sense yes it is filled with dark humor but the dark knight has a meaning behind its name and not just how the movie being thrown around with dark humor
A lot of people say it happens in his apartment, when he gets in the fridge. The movie is wonderfully open to interpretation. I personally think the first and last clown masked person you see are actually Arthur himself. The clown in the taxi and the one who shot the Wayne's.
I think the car wreck was when Arthur truly 'died'. The Fridge being when the Joker truly 'takes the wheel' and shuts Arthur away so to speak. Similar to Arkham Knight when Bats shuts that little bit of Joker within him, away.
The car number is 9189. It crashes - so we see. BUT also notice that one of the cop cars what goes past the movie theatre after the crash is *also* number 9189.... meaning the car crash is not "real" - but in Joker/Arthur's head- and one of his embellishments of the story..
@@Griwhoolda interesting. Again there's a few times you see a film reel flicker effect so this is one of em . This supports my theory that he killed the Wayne's and that is why he vividly remembers Bruce standing over his parents in the alley way. I still say that masked clown and the one in the taxi during his date worth Sophie are actually himself.
It's just DC vs Marvel tribalism. For every Marvel fan who decides DC can't be good there is a DC can who has decided Marvel can't be good. They don't even have real opinions on these movies, they just have these performative opinions made from peer pressure and bias, rather than taste and nuance.
That was my favorite scene!! I was absolutely captivated by the screen and the music when I saw it in theaters, I've never experienced anything like it before.
God damn he deserved that oscar...isnt it funny how 2 people won Oscar's for playing the same character? I dont think that's been done before...I applaud mr ledger and mr phoenix for 2 diff,but awesomely played interpretations
It just shows how overwhelming the character is... Yet how even more overwhelming are the actors playing him. Easily deserved that movie, in my opinion best movie of the century. PERIOD.
He's the only actor IMO that could have pulled off a follow up to heath. I bet other actors were terrified in more ways that one. Intimidated by the role. Terrified to not live up to H. L performance.
@@RisingDawn12 I think they both capture the roles perfect. I dont think heath would have been as good with this script and vice/versa. J.P couldnt have pulled off heaths Joker.
I swear, when Joaquin wins the Oscar for this role, if whoever reads the card doesn't introduce him as 'Joker', it's going to be the most wasted opportunity in Oscar ceremony history.
An intense scene showing another aspect of Arthur's split personality. We see him as a brutal cold blooded murderer, and also at his most gentle and tender (toward "the only one who was nice to me" before kissing him on the head and mercifully letting him go)...and right before he says that he stares at Gary a moment, and you wonder if he's going to let him go after all...but he was just looking at him kindly, saying goodbye to possibly his only friend.
Nope. I was still in shock after what had just happened, grasping the side of my arm chair while on my toes and sweating. Did not have time for other emotions at the time.
Casual fans: ENOUGH WITH THE ORIGIN STORIES !!!! Joker Fans: They're gonna make it nothing like the comic book OCTOBER 2019 Casual Fans and Joker fans: "....WOW....."
Did the joker ever actually get an official back story in the comics? We sort of got a potential one in the killing joke but even the joker himself doesn't know how true it is.
When I was a little boy and told people I'd be a comedian everyone laughed at me Well nobodys laughing now I hate how the movie pretends this isnt a great joke
@@jcchryzortiz1769 He's not a hater. I'm willing to bet that he's watched it more than once. He just wants attention because he thinks that he's safe as long as he's behind a screen.
They‘re horrified because it‘s real. They can‘t distance themselves from the insane and the gruesome, because that‘s exactly what the movie is calling out. They feel trapped and exposed by it, so they try to write it off as „brutal and insane“, just like they write off Arthur.
@StormRevolution Gaming Jared's Joker was not fine, nor was Jared Lato himself. Jared's Joker felt like an edgy teenager that works at Hot-Topic trying to be the Joker who's laugh sounds like a squeaking door, and Jared Lato himself was a complete egotistical douche bag to everyone on set while creeping out his co-actors.
@StormRevolution Gaming There is no bandwagon, just reasonable opinions. Jared's Joker did get less screen time, only because most of his roles were cut out of the movie do to bad performance. Jared stayed in character through out his entire rehearsal time so he tried his best to freak people out and made them refer to him as Mr. J, not to mention that he sent used condoms, dead rats, and pigs to other actors to freak them out even more, which was totally uncalled for. However, Ledger on other hand, locked himself in his hotel room only because he wanted to get his role right by acting through a mirror, nothing wrong with that. It's not like I believe that Jared is a bad actor, it's just that his Joker was bad and wasn't right for the job.
StormRevolution Gaming I literally never seen joker with tattoos and act with short green hair, and Jared was awful as joker he couldn’t even do the joker laugh, all he did was put his hand over his mouth with a mouth tattoo on it said, “ ha ha ha”
Joshua Cunanan the joke is that it’s a fast foward to joker in arkham and he knows batmans true identity that’s why she wouldn’t get it. he has grays in his hair and his natural joker laugh not the uncontrolled version. I feel he’s still joker just a aged version. (My (observation)
Walter White because if you know the meaning of the joker’s joke in that comic, it actually makes sense to what arthur’s origin is. The fact that batman laughs is just unnerving
His laughing throughout the film was presumably born out of the physical abuse he suffered as a child. And if you rewatch the film interpreting the laughing as him expressing grief (which is likely what's happening), it's even sadder
Avengers are like that catchy song that’s a hit for a couple of weeks’ but after it gets played out you never want to hear it again. Joker is one of those classics that you will always have in ur playlist
I think this is the best incarnation of Joker. The only Joker you can sympathize with because you see how poorly society has treated him and that he wasn't really a bad guy at first but just someone with a mental illness who went berserk from being broken down by his horrible life. Unlike every other Joker incarnation which just portrays the character as an insane and psychotic evil killer for no reason. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy some of the other Joker performances especially Heath Ledger's Joker but Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is the most fleshed out character out of all of them.
@unknowning unknown nothing funny about Heath's joker. He never tried to make anyone laugh. He's like Pennywise more than joker, cuz all he loves to do is torture ppl's souls. He wanted to scare everyone, he put a knife on everyone's face trying to scare them off, while surrounded by armed bodyguards to make sure his victims won't take the knife from him and stab him in the chest. LUL I dare him to accept an 1on1 knife fight with Phoenix.
@unknowning unknown He's NEVER meant to be scary. At least he never really tried to scare anyone. Disturbing, a freak, is more of a better description of Joker. "scary" is what u used to describe guys like thanos, darkseid, deathstroke, and even batman. Ppl afraid of joker because he brings death to them, but their fears for him were never his interest. For example his laughing gas is used to put "the smile" on his victim forever and he doesn't care if it kills ppl or not. He kills when it fits his joke. For example: he killed and tortured jason todd. He tortured Jason with a crowbar as a revenge act to batman, then he told jason a message for batman and left jason in the warehouse with a timing bomb. Jason tried his best to reach the door but joker locked it from outside. So jason's "oh fk me I'm screwed" moment is the punchline for Joker's joke, Joker never intent to let jason leave the warehouse to send batman his message anyway. Being scary and threatening everyone doesn't make you a good joker. Every villain in the batman trilogy is scary not just the joker. Heath joker was all about terrifying and menacing all the time, but in the wrong way. You should watch batman the animated series to know joker is much more than just being a scary maniac. He and batman are two sides of the same coin for a good reason. You should know that.
@unknowning unknown LUL Dark humour? What? it's pure terror idiot. And that show is for children to watch, while the new joker is R rated. If you think that was his "joke" then sorry, he only got 1 joke to tell everyone the entire movie: "everyone is the same. ppl will kill for survival." That's his philosophy. What else? Isn't survival our basic instinct? Why the fk is a nihilist like him care about that?? Ppl in the walking dead universe must be laughing at him right now. Gotham is supposed to be a city that ppl eat each other alive everyday for survival, but their reaction to his act of terror is like that of those who live in the Metropolis. Gotham in DC is like the Chicago in real life, and you think the ppl of Gotham will just blindly follow orders of a maniac who knows nothing but killing and torturing ppl? When he put his knife on ppl's faces he wasn't telling any jokes he was just trying to scare the shit out of them. You wanna know what real dark humour is you should rewatch the joker movie, some of the dark jokes you clearly didn't get so I'll tell you: 1/ shoot the guy who isn't a good dancer, 2/ I forgot to punch out, 3/ shoot himself on live tv and get a standing ovation from the audience, 4/ After killing Murray: Remember, that's life!, 5/ you wouldn't get it scene
I think it's because the viewers of the movie would side with the clown. I'm not afraid of this Joker because I'm on his side. This Joker wouldn't harm those who are on his side.
I don't know about y'all but for me even the very first scene of the movie where Arthur was putting on his makeup and trying hard to smile was so powerful that it made me teary eyed. Joaquin Phoenix was phenomenal. He made everyone feel the pain.
Joker is about being yourself in my opinion. In the beggining he is trying to be what he isn't. Eventually he becomes himself and stops blocking his anger, sadness and pain.
i feel like the first scene with him and his.. therapist? idk, the black lady that he accuses of never listening to him, is a HEAVILY underrated scene. it's the first depiction of him and his clinical laughing condition, in which you can see the utter pain and suffering he goes through while dealing with such, which is one of the many themes of the movie, in short it kicks off joaquin phoenix's amazing acting with no hesitation
I think he laughs at the end because he finally gets to talk to a psychiatrist. The he only way he actually got treatment was through becoming a murderer. And it's ridiculous. It's like everyone rewarded him
This wasn't my interpretation - I saw it somewhere else - but I thought it was brilliant yet simplistic: throughout the whole flim, people kept asking him what's funny whenever he would laughter. At the end, he just accepts the fact that society doesn't get him hence the "you wouldn't get it." 💕💕💕
Then why Bruce and his dead parents showed up when he was laughing? It was the filmmakers' way to tell us "he is laughing at what happened to Bruce and he couldn't explain the joke to the social worker because she knew nothing about batman vs joker shit"
Damn wanted to see the scene when he realizes his whole relationship with his girlfriend was all fake. That scene was unreal. Surprised it wasn't on here.
@@Astro2024 No you'd have to have a normal functioning brain to understand that scene without a flashback. But the movie treats its audience like children and explains it to us.
@@Kryptica Is he really though, or is he still better relative to the rest of society that turned him into the Joker. Sure he committed "crimes" but people in society commit actions that undermine others all the time but no one bats an eye because there's no law against it or human norms have yet to normalize it as evil. Remember that all Arthur ever wanted was a loving family, to reach a bigger audience and make people laugh, and to uplift himself and his mother from poverty.
Arthur always bursts out in laughter when he gets angry or sad. The scene where Randall first insults Gary , Arthur bursts into laughter , he hates how Randall makes fun of 'garys height. He knows what it feels to be rejected, and disowned. This movie is all about wanting to be accepted in the world.
@@StraightEdgeKnight19 it's called opinions so deal with it and why do you keep on coming on Joaquin joker video if you hate the movie so much? Get a life it's truly pathetic.
Today is a bad day for me. My horse died today, i failed my School exams and i cant repeat the School a second time so basically i got fired and i had a car crash. Thats life. ;-;
IMO Heath is second best. Maybe it’s because Batman was in it and the only bright spot in that film was Heath. This was written better and Phoenix nailed it.
@@markmeyer6800 Phoenix was great but he wasn't on Heath's level. The way Heath changed his voice, his look, his whole demeanor, you couldn't even tell it was him behind the paint. And just the small stuff Heath added and the way Heath respected Jack Nicholson's joker and how much the role meant to Heath made it even more better. Heath's performance was one of the greatest performances of all time and that's even outside the comic book world, and he didn't die for the movie that's a false narrative, his death was a complete accident that was just absolutely horrible.
This is my opinion, there are people who think Jared Leto was the best Joker. We watch as the joker spirals. Heath’s Joker doesn’t say why and each story is different. Ledgers Joker is schizophrenic and Phoenix Joker is a sociopath side. The performance was more relatable in real world terms that’s why there was so many against it.
Joker is now officially my favourite film and Joaquin Phoenix is my favorite actor, the level of acting he has brought to the character of Joker in nothing less than incredible 👏 I do genuinely hope that theirs a follow up to this film
The Joker had so many layers to it. I think they all did a great job (director, screenwriter, & actor). Joaquin Phoenix is now my favorite joker. He added empathy and depth to the character that no one has ever done before. He deserves an Oscar for his performance.
There's no top 10 moment in this movie. This movie itself is a top moment in cinematic history. It still baffles my mind how much they were able to achieve with this. First R-rated movie to cross a billion and did it with a budget of 60 million. People dressing up as Arthur all around the world to protest against opression and authority and to top it all of it might win couple of Oscars yet. Not to mention it already won Golden Lion which is way more prestigious than Oscar
@@Deathlock61 it's a good film but it isnt transcendent, the script is hella ham fisted. Performances can make a bad script a good movie but they cant make it legendary. Perfer Light House, parasite, marriage story, Irishman, once upon a time. This year alone
The children's hospital scene is my personal favorite. You see his humanity and love in that scene come to a screeching halt when the gun falls out. Absolutely genius.
After snyder cut, jared leto is laughing on us, knowing..... he made the world 'smile'. You know S'LAUGHTER' IS THE BEST REMEDY. HA HA HA HA HAHAHAHAHA!
The entire movie is a masterpiece. The most perfect comedy and tregedy dilemma ever. You would laugh to a dark humor and makes you feel like a monster. Feel sad for Arthur and when he crush entire system down you feel better for him (which is horrifying but feels good) ... The joker, master criminal mind, when you put a background story like this, I think nothing can beat him now.
Man my favorite scene of Joker is when he shoots those 3 idiots, stair dance, and when he shot that comedian guy. Also I’m surprised that clown thug was the one who shot well Bruce’s parents.
The slow dance in the bathroom after the kill is darkly beautiful. Its when he stops running from the abuse of society, and embraces what he has become. Its sad for author but they got what they deserved. Who in their right mind with mess with a guy just sitting there on a train dressed as a clown, laughing for no reason?! Even if i was drunk, that would have sobered me right up.
@@MorisMorosini Yea i know.These cooperate yuppies thought that they were so above it, that nothing could possibly happen to them. Its obvious they were used to doing this. They just got on the wrong train that night....
