Keep in mind that the Joker has no moral compass. He does whatever he wants to to screw with people. One of the scariest Joker stories ever written was one in the eighties (and it's not the one most people will think of). The scariest Joker story was one where the Joker kidnapped a little girl. Batman went all over Gotham, beating up everyone to find her location, but he knew she was dead because the Joker killed everyone. But he still wanted to find the girl and bring her body home. He finally found her in the trunk of a car at the bottom of Gotham Bay. He opened the trunk...and she was inside, alive, with a breathing mask on and a full tank of oxygen. He took her home. She was fine. Scared, but fine. Batman went to the Joker and asked him why he didn't kill the girl, and the Joker told him something along the lines of "Because now you'll never know if someone is alive or dead." He kept the girl alive just to mess with Batman's thinking. That's DARK.
Goddamn that's an amazing Joker storyline, and is the epitome of his craziness.
?!?!?
OK THAT's radical! Gooootta gotta find that.
There is a video from the channel "film theory" where they talk about the joker being the actual savior of Gotham in dark knight. And it makes a lot of sense. 🙂👍🏻
Can't believe no one asked what the title was.
What's the title of that storyline?
You notice how Joker keeps giving himself different backstories for "how he got his scars"? This is actually a key part of Joker's character. One of his most famous lines in the comics is "If I'm going to have a past, I'd prefer it to be multiple choice."
Exactly, he gets a kick out of seeing how people react to each individual story he makes up, which in the film he kind of tailors to suit his audience.
When I first saw this movie, I was a little disappointed when the Joker started describing how he got his scars. Then when he went on to give a different story to Rachel, I went "oooh, they're going that route!" and was really happy that he was just messing with people's heads.
To top it off, I loved when he tried it on Batman at the end and Batman just went "I DONT CARE!"
Yeah he's the ultimate troll!
Or they were both true, one for each scar.
This joker is Canon Right ?
Heath Ledger had the performance of a lifetime so he completely overshadowed everyone. But because of that, Aaron Eckhart's performance as Harvey Dent often gets overlooked. He did such a fantastic job with the character, the last scene with him always gives me chills. "It's not about what I want, it's about what's fair!"
"You thought we could be decent men in an indecent time! But you were wrong."
"Tell your boy it's going to be alright, Gordon. Lie. Like I lied." Simply an amazing performance
I actually prefer Maggie Gyllenhaal's acting over Katie Holmes but I can understand how jarring it must be to see different actresses playing the same character between films.
And yes now to watch The Dark Knight Rises to finish off the trilogy! Can't wait for the reaction!
THANK YOU! I was going to make the same comment but you beat me to it. It seems like Two-Face is always presented in one of three ways after the disfigurement; either he's given an entirely new personality, or he's given a split personality (I can see the temptation to go this route but if you aren't very careful it comes across as rather on-the-nose) or you can do what Eckhart & Nolan did which is to keep him the same man but with a psychotic compulsion- I think this is the most interesting approach but also the hardest to pull off. You can see the Harvey Dent in Eckharts Two-Face performance but he's been tragically broken.
@@barkingmonkee Even more importantly, you can see shades of Two-Face even before the disfigurement. Every once in a while, the mask slips. Hence the "Two-Face" nickname he has at the MCU even before the incident.
"YOU CAN'T GIVE IN!"
Katie Holmes is terrible actress and Maggie is great Nolan upgraded
@@blake3001
Katie Holmes did a good job in Begins, though. People rag on her performance for no good reason. (That said, I agree Maggie Gyllenhaal is a much better actress.)
@@BareBandSubscription she was stale and felt like she was reading her lines off paper from behind the camera, every scene with her in it batman begins takes me out of the atmosphere
I know it’s a small line, but my favorite Joker line is his interaction with Gamble:
G: “You think you can steal from us and just walk away?”
J: “Yeah”
Batman didn't go to the wrong location - the Joker told him the wrong one on purpose. To make Rachel's death weigh even more heavily on him.
And because he's the Joker. He screws with people and can never be trusted.
Joker said killing is like making a choice. So as per that sense, batman effectively killed Rachel by trying to save her
@@glennwelsh9784 I'm convinced that he gave the people on the boat their own detonators, not the one for the other ship like he said, to punish them if they decided to actually activate them.
@@CybrSlydr Exactly. And had it gone off, it would have gone in sections like the hospital explosion. So the people would have a few seconds to see what was happening before they died and know that it was their own doing.
@@glennwelsh9784 He's quite trustworthy in this movie. As far as I can tell, reversing Rachel and Harvey's locations is the only time he lies, and he does it for a reason; to see if he can, in fact, break Batman.
Fun Fact: That hospital blowing up was not CGI. The hospital was scheduled for demolish. Nolan request the man in charge and they accepted. They really did blow up a hospital. Fortunately, nobody was hurt.
Same with the trailer flipping over. Cgi isn’t good enough for some things I guess.
It was a real explosion enhanced by CG.
Chris Nolan will be making a Oppenheimer movie soon.
God help us all....
it was actually a candy factory that they made look like a hospital
@@coling657 One of the latter Die Hard films infamously suffered for this. They did practical car stunts, and audiences COMPLAINED they didn't look as real as the CGI car stunts 🤦♂️
You are definitely not alone. After seeing this in the theater I felt like someone had been punching me in the chest. It’s tense from beginning to end and Heath Ledger’s performance immortalized him.
She seems too innocent for this...hope she watches it again and again and eases up
...if you rewatch the film I don't even care about the action ...the philosophy exchanges the themes and trick being played on the audience distracting us with batman vs joker scenes where joker is going to win cause his target is harvey the entire film..he does not care about exposing wayne to the world cause that's not his plan despite it being a focus to again fool us into thinking it matters only for joker to change his mind about exposing the truth....he legit does not care or feel its important or matters anymore...he could use it as he's in prison to strike some plea deal but he won't do that...that's what I care about...it's a deep film...it's not simple batman vs joker...
“How dark does this movie get?”
Joker: “depending on the time he may be in one spot, or several”.
RIP Heath Ledger, truly an unforgettable actor.
I love how the Joker has Addie completely freaked out and on edge throughout the whole movie.
Me too, it's probably how it was most intended to be. Most of us were just amazed at this great take of a realistic Joker.
Me three, I would love to see Addie react to more intense movies, like Dunkirk & Tenet, both directed by Christopher Nolan.
Heath Ledger was incredible in this disappearing into the Joker.
This movie is amazing. It makes you think about human nature. Ask yourself uncomfortable questions. The joker wants to watch the world burn, and thinks deep down everyone is corrupt and selfish.
He tested not just batman but people of Gotham. Will people under pressure /fear choose to do the right think or just act out of self preservation. Will they choose
The Better Angels of Our Nature.
Idk if he believes everyone deep down is corrupt and selfish, I do think he thinks everyone is corruptable though... in the sense that they're just one bad enough day away from (in his mind) realizing there is no such thing as right or wrong or rhyme or reason to life (representing nihilism). That's my take anyways.
@@AtownOriginal Nice try troll get psychiatric treatment
I still remember hearing about “the pencil trick” before the public theatrical releases. There were so many rumors surrounding the movie and everyone wanted to know what happens. And this was before reserved seats were a thing so we waited on line for the midnight premier in NYC (this was also when the first showing of a movie was at midnight) for like half the day just to get good seats in the theater. Still one of my favorite movies.
One of the greatest movies ever made and absolutely the best comic book movie made. Great reaction!
"The streets are extended gutters and the gutters are full of blood, and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their sex and murder will foam up about their waists, and all the whores and politicians will look up and shout 'THE DARK KNIGHT IS ABSOLUTELY THE BEST COMIC BOOK MOVIE MADE'.
And I'll look down and whisper... 'No.'"
@@happyslapsgiving5421 Hahahaha! Well played!
@@happyslapsgiving5421 um what?😂
Spiderman 2 is a better comic book film...dark knight is a crime drama thriller class on philosophy...it's not a comic book film...it's a villian film...
@@razkable roflmao, spiderman 2 cant even beat Batman (1989). xD
Lau screaming as he's getting burned on the pile of money but no one notices or hears because everyone is just focusing on Joker.
Yes exactly! And since he had the dogs in the end, that mobster got fed to them
I saw this movie opening night, imax. I was EXHAUSTED when it was over. And that ending! Even after all these years, it brings a tear to my eye it was so damn good.
My father took me to watch this in IMAX opening weekend when i was 15. An experience I will never forget.
didn't see it opening, but the first weekend. i remember being blown away that a superhero movie could be like that. it was never done in such a masterful way before. went and saw it again the next day, it was too good.
Addie dropping 3 F bombs in a row unable to stop when the lights go on and Batman appears at 17:34 is terrific 😂
LMAO loved it. I always see her catch herself before it happens, but revisiting this reaction i forgot she did that haha. gold
@@Jomanji1 Love it. Never see her swear haha
Ledger absolutely OWNED that role. He was incredibly unhinged. Seeing this in theaters was so amazing. One of the best films ever. It just is unrelenting.
He was "in character" even off screen.. Truely taking a method acting approach to The Joker.. Joaquin Pheonix did an amazing job in his Joker movie.. I will not take that away from him.. But because of this movie.. There will always be only one Joker.. This Joker.. Heath's portrail of the Joker will go down in history.. Enough said..
Life goals: find a girl who looks at you like Addie looks at the batmobile 🚘
Your reaction was so sweet and adorable. All the emotions, a real rollercoaster ride from the beginning to the end.
she's cute and sweet
24:35 he's falling down from a building and still laughing, yeah that's the Joker 😂😂
🤡 "It's not about money... its about sending a message." 🤡
This is the best cinematic Joker yet. RIP Heath Ledger.
Fun Fact: Heath Ledger directed both homemade videos that The Joker sends to GCN. The first video involving the fake Batman was done under writer, producer, and director Christopher Nolan's supervision. Nolan thought Ledger had done so well with that sequence, he felt there was no need for him to be there when it came time to film the scene where reporter Mike Engel reads The Joker's statement. He put his trust in Ledger and let him do whatever he wanted, ultimately pleased with the result after he'd seen the outcome.
And that is why Nolan is one of the best directors of all time. Dude was the only one who believed in Ledger to play the Joker when almost everyone hated it before the movie came out.
Addie’s reaction when the light turns on and Batman is standing behind the Joker is the reaction of a lifetime. I absolutely loved it! F-bomb, F-bomb, F-bomb! I laughed for minutes and will never forget it. Thank you!
It's an astonishingly good and honest examination of sanity and socially accepted behaviour...really kind of at the heart of Batman stories in general, but exceptionally well written and filmed and acted in this case. I'm not crazy about comic book movies in general, but this is one my favorite movies, period.
Slightly off topic but this is why I also love Superman comics. Superman also deals with human nature. Batman said that Clark (Superman) is an alien yet the most human out of everyone. The main theses of the Superman story is being able to do the right thing even with all the power. Power corrupts? No, power reveals the truth nature. After all, if you had infinite power, answered to no one and no one could stop you, then nothing can prevent you from exposing your truth nature. You have no consequences. All the power in the universe yet Superman is a good man at heart. Batman said Superman is a good man deep down while he is not. Batman doesn’t kill because he’s afraid that if he does then he will never stop killing again. He’ll never return from the abyss. Superman however doesn’t kill because it’s the right thing to do. He can get away with anything and yet he is the gold standard for a good human being. Humble and selfless. Abe Lincoln had an amazing quote “if you want to test a mans true character give him power”. That’s the core of the Superman story.
Sorry for the essay lol
@@appledough3843 Absolutely. This is why it irks me when people say Superman is a “boring” character. He’s without a doubt one of the most fascinating characters in all of comics.
There’s so much subtext to his story - it’s an immigrant coming-of-age tale (as you said, he’s an alien but in many ways the ultimate example of humanity and actual American values)…
…it’s an exploration of nature vs. nurture (if anyone other than Jon and Martha Kent found that boy in the cornfield, he could’ve grown up to be an unstoppable tyrant)…
…it’s a tale about theism vs humanism (see: every good Lex Luthor storyline)…
…it’s about the unbearable responsibility that being Superman places onto Clark (he can’t be everywhere, there are scenes in the comics where he explains that every life he saves leads to the loss of countless more. If he’s stopping a bank robbery in Metropolis, it means he can’t be on the other side of the world when a tsunami hits and kills thousands. He’s often paralyzed by indecision because so many people need help and even with all the powers in the world, Superman can’t save them all)…
I could go on. Superman critics like to say that he’s boring “because he can’t die so there are no stakes.” Without even going into the fact that *NO* superhero can ever really die because they have plot armor and they’re a franchise unto themselves, without even going into the fact that Superman *HAS* died (multiple times) this is still such a dumb argument. The comics (and some of the better movies) use Superman’s invulnerability / potential immortality to put him through very unique internal character struggles. He can’t die, but those around him can and often do, and he has no escape from it. He can’t go with them. On some level he knows it’s his fate to outlive everyone he loves and watch them die while he barely ages at all.
But yeah, Superman is “boring.” 🤦♂️
@@ghani666
Wow, couldn't have said it better myself. Totally agree. On the surface, Superman faces no obstacles because he can defeat any foe. But when you look deeper, Superman faces obstacles that crush him everyday (as you said he can't save everyone and knowing that he could do something about it eats him alive). It isn't his fault that evil goes on in the world but he places some blame on himself for not being able to stop it all. That is an issue only a man with a heart of gold could have. That is the Superman story. Doing what is right for the sake of goodness itself and shouldering the burden of evil in the world. I love Superman. God bless America. Lol Supes got me in my feelings
@@appledough3843 Lmao Supes always gets me in my feelings. You ever read All-Star Superman? One of his greatest comics imo - there’s a scene that I’m pretty sure is from that story (haven’t read it in a while) where Superman talks this teenager down from jumping off a building and it gets me choked up every time. Why oh why can’t someone just make a decent modern Superman film?? I feel like the world could really use an uplifting, inspiring Superman story right now.
@@ghani666
Ooooh I've seen that one before! Loved it so much! Ikr someone needs to make that one a film!
Almost let an F*** slip out. Rather sweet and still very understandable considering how enthralling the story is.
I always love to see people's reaction to the testing of human nature. The two boats with the "innocent civilians" and the "guilty convicts" being made to decide which will die only to reveal that the convicts were the first to refuse to kill is brilliant. It showed that even who we perceive as the most vile and dangerous can have light within them and perhaps an audience which this expecting them to kill has a bit of darkness within them.
Your reaction to Heath Ledger as Joker is what most of us had upon watching this. Also, a bit of reminder not to judge upon surface presentations as before the release of this movie people wrote Ledger off as a typical Hollywood pretty body but he gave a performance that is unparalleled.
What’s funny, is that I think there’s a very popular theory (not sure if it’s cannon yet.) that the remote detonator that both boats had for the opposite ship, was actually for their own ships. So in trying to save themselves by blowing up the opposite ship, either ship would’ve ended up blowing themselves up. Personally, I can totally see Joker doing that as some sick joke.
@@Kayoss13212
That’s a very likely theory. As Batman said in this very film, “with the Joker it’s never that simple”. Plus, to watch them kill them selves in an attempt to save themselves would surely give Joker the kicks.
My thoughts exactly. I love that an inmate decided not to push the button. Like you said, it shows the complexities of human nature. Doesn’t matter how “evil” people seem, there’s more to them. The moment we demonize our adversary is the moment we cease to learn.
Ledger is a great example of an actor portraying the character so well that you lose the actor and only see the character. If you've not seen the 2 Tim Burton Batman's, Batman (1989) & Batman Returns, they are worth watching.
9:44 That “LOOK AT ME” just sounded like it came from the depths of hell.
Stressed Addie is really fun to watch. Great reaction.
Greetings from Poland.
The ending of The Dark Knight is one of the best ending of all time.
I think what one of the most jarring aspects of the movie is that the ending doesn't provide closure. It doesn't give us satisfaction. It looks like evil has won. I love this movie (not because I think evil has won but because reality tells us that evil doesn't necessarily have to lose). This is a very well grounded movie.
The Empire Strikes Back, The Dark Knight, Infinity War.
All so well done, and subverts expectations in an honest way. 👍
21:00 Correct, that was a lie, he is very meticulous in his own way. If you notice right afterward when Harvey has the gun against the Joker's head his finger is on the hammer, even if Harvey had pulled the trigger it wouldn't have fired
It's a common thought, but I don't think it's accurate. First, because it's a very unreliable way to keep a gun from firing, which is why de-cocking maneuvers involve putting a digit between the hammer and the chamber, to physically prevent contact. Second, because the Joker's hand isn't positioned well for that purpose, being not perpendicular, but off to the side. And third, because the Joker is, as you said, meticulous. He would be quite happy to die here, just as he was ready to allow Batman to run him down, as it would prove his point; people are only as moral as the situation allows them to be. Joker would be dead, but Harvey would be a murderer, and that would be the end of Gotham's hope.
Joker doesn't have a plan as such. He doesn't have a concrete final outcome in mind. What he does is place people in moral quandaries, and allow them to make their choice. As far as I can tell, the only time he lies is when he reverses Harvey's and Rachel's locations. His purpose is not entirely clear, but I think it's to force Batman to choose between himself and Gotham, and still lose whichever he holds dearest. The point being to push Batman into breaking his rule, and thus prove the Joker correct.
The fact that Batman chooses Rachel over Harvey is interesting, and not really made a lot of. It would seem Bruce Wayne hadn't been entirely subsumed by Batman then.
@@michaelccozens You put a digit between the hammer and primer, as you said, when de-cocking, this is because the hammer is moving toward the primer and you don't want it to discharge. However it's incredibly simple to prevent the hammer from falling when the trigger is pulled, you just hold it back, it doesn't take any special technique or strength, you literally just keep a finger on the hammer
Your reaction to this was the exact same as mine when we walked out of the theater back in 2008. The people waiting to go in asked us what we thought. I literally said "I cannot even put into words what I just saw."
Then on the way home, my wife and my 2 friends all discussed if this was the greatest movie of all time.
13:00 the cutest "Holy Shit" I've ever heard 😂 Then fought really hard to not swear again 🤣
13:00 & 17:34 this is the first ive ever heard Addie swearing watching a movie
One of the greatest films ever made, it just happens to have Batman in it.
Na man. The dynamic between Batman and Joker is what made this movie. The logical approach of Batman vs the anarchist Joker.
It's a solid genre flick that's elevated by Ledger's performance.
This movie perfectly demonstrates the darker and grittier take on superhero movies as compared to the MCU which tends to be more fun and uplifting. It's really a matter of personal preference in tone. But this is probably the best example of how to do a realistic and terrifying version of Batman and the Joker.
R.I.P Heath Ledger. His role as the Joker was one of the best acting performances there ever was.
Great reaction. The looked like you were terrified through most of the movie. It was one of the best and most intense movies I've ever seen.
Heath Ledger as the Joker was incredible. He died a few months before the movie was released and won the Oscar for best supporting actor .
the squeaks and squeals were pretty funny. Great reaction, really looking forward to the next in the tribology.
Such an awesome movie! Glad that you reacted to it! Keep em coming
When u make a movie so intense that reactors are”losing their minds” you know you made art
Glad you liked the movie. Two things I'd like to comment on though. One it's really fun watching you jump and gasp when you get scared. And your dog Titus (Titi) is adorable.
I saw this movie in theaters on my birthday back in 2008. I'm so glad I saw such a revolutionary, culturally significant film in theaters. I'd argue that this is the movie that made comic book movies mainstream for the next decade.
Fun fact: christen bale is actually hitting Heath ledger because Heath told him to, so the secen more believable.
I can't help but think that that uneasy feeling from the beginning of the film may have been at least partly due to the phenomenal way in which the score evokes tension from the very first note (that dragging, discordant string note that keeps running through so much of the score was intended to create unease in the audience, as I understand it). It's awesome when these things happen without our noticing.
You've quickly become my most favorite reactor. You're so invested in the plot and what is happening and you're not laughing or saying "let's go" every 5 seconds. You really feel for the characters
Yeah the "oh my goshhhhh" every 5 seconds is way better!!! also love those high pitch squeaks and squeals every 1 or 2 minutes like you forgot to turn off your vibrator before recording the video!!! throw in the cherry on top that she doesn't even offer a final thoughts or even a general idea of what she thought of the movie other than"it was very stressful i can't even say anything about the movie right now" and u truly have the best reactor out there!!!
Heath Ledger's Joker is easily the most perfect iteration of the character, although Joaquin Phoenix's comes in a very, VERY close second.
The old guy that Joker threatens at the fundraiser is Vt. Senator Patrick Leahy, the longest-sitting member of Congress, and a HUGE Batman fan.
Heath keeps licking the sides of his mouth because the scar prosthetics kept coming loose, and he found that licking them kept them on, so he worked that into the craziness of the character, like a tic he has.
Christopher Nolan also prefers practical effects wherever they can be used over CGI, so they really flipped a tractor trailer, and also blew up that hospital (it was scheduled for demolition anyway so they got permission to do it for the film). And yes, Christian Bale is full on punching Heath Ledger, who asked him to do it for the realism of his performance.
Mark Hamill
Mark Hamil is the best Joker and who gave new life to the character that was more then the typical mob boss / comedy villain in the previous live action movies / 60s show.
But thats the animated Joker so it gets overlooked despite being the most influential portrayal of The Joker
There have been so many iterations of the Joker in the comic books that you can say they all are at least pretty good. Even the hated one that Jared Leto played. Ledger plays his with a ton of intensity though and yeah, he's my favorite too.
@@mimoe7587 In different mediums as well: TV, movies, & video games.
dang thanks for that fun fact bout the senator had no idea until now
“When the chips are down these civilized people, they’ll eat eachother.”
“Its not about money... its about sending a message.”
2 of my favorite lines from this movie 😵💫
One of the greatest movie ever made period....
❤ As a Patreon supporter, I have to say this was my favorite reaction so far. I really liked how invested you were in this, and your doggy is so cute. And when you said the F word, I actually laughed out loud. 😂 thank you for this wonderful episode. Is it an episode? Anyway, thank you.😊
Gordon's end monologue/conversation with his son is my favorite part of this movie. The idea of a man so selfless that his love for his city is literally self-sacrificial is awesome.
I love seeing first timers' reaction to that magic pencil trick. Your reaction was pretty much like everyone's reaction back in 2008.
one fact i recently came across is that joker says that before people die they show you who they truly are, and as hes been thrown off the building he is just laughing maniacally. just awesome detail
The reason you were nervous right off the bat to watch this, was Hans Zimmer's music, it kicks in subtly right away, this nervous chord that's played, done purposefully to put people on edge. It was fear in music form. Just starts as a quiet note, but it's there.
Fun fact: the hospital blown up was real. And was blown up for the movie. When the bombs stopped the first time it was an error by the people in charge of the explosives so health improved the remainder of that scene
Nolan himself debunked this rumor. He said there was a planned added “beat” by the demolition team in between the two sets of explosions where the Joker thinks it failed and then it continues on. It’s a better story that he improvised it but unfortunately not true. Just like the picture of him in costume kickflipping over Bale laying on the ground in costume. He actually just jumped over him but then someone photoshopped a skateboard in. Again, one is definitely more appealing but just not true.
That was debunked by Christopher Nolan.

Great reaction Addie!!! I loved your emotion throughout the whole thing. Very entertaining!!! Keep up the great work and I'll keep watching!!! See ya next time!
I love how everytime you freak out, it's musical.
Your reactions are kinda adorable. Seems at one point you were even trying to stop yourself swearing? F-- F--. And yeah, as you say it's a very intense and very well done movie.
I would expect this type of reaction for a horror movie. This was really fun to watch someone react like this to The Dark Knight.
It's not clearly implied in the movie, but I remember in the novel version Joker deliberately mixed up the addresses of Harvey and Rachel so Batman would save the person he was willing to sacrifice.
Another detail I remember was when Harvey wakes up and sees the coin, for a brief moment he believes it means Rachel made it out okay... Then he turns it around and seeing the charred side makes him realize the horrible truth.
it's all implied yes but subtle. that's Nolan
I love how the tension of the story, the music and Ledger’s performance slowly make you more nervous as the movie continues.
Liking and subscribing.
7:03 greatest magic trick of all time👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
Your dog is amazing. (So is your content, of course!) I'm dead. Just that look at the camera... like "What? Why are you looking at me? Quit it!"
The mask that joker was wearing (bank robbery scene)..that was same design as 1966 version of joker wore(kind of tribute to Caesar)
Best Dark knight reaction ever
6:09 Fun fact: Heath is sitting at a table just behind them in the restaurant, with his back to them. This also explains why he knew about Rachel and dent.
You can see him for a few seconds.
If you think it was intense at home, you should have seen it on IMAX. The opening bank robbery scene was shot with IMAX cameras, as was a lot of the rest of the movie.
Lol at Titus barking in the background :D
0:25 - Well . . . The Dark Knight does take place sometimes . . . at night, soooo . . . it can get pretty dark.
Addie, your reaction to this movie was beautiful. You have such heart!
“When villains want to scare each other, they tell Joker stories.”
One of the best films ever. Heath Ledger as the Joker, amazing. Rest in peace Heath
I agree! I never saw Heath as the Joker! I saw Joker looking like Heath, his line deliveries are mostly chilling to the bone!even when he talks among the mobster bosses, he totally stands out!
@@bernhardtsen74 Yeah and when Heath was announced as the Joker most people (including myself) were like "what kinda stupid castng decision is that? He can't play the Joker! pfffft" and then we actually saw the film and then "ok Heath was a frickin' amazing Joker. Fair enough. We were wrong"
Your reaction is very much the reaction of some of the audience at the screening I intended when it came out.
Some people were so overwhelmed mentally and emotionally, that they just didn’t know what to say.
Some also said they felt exhausted and/or tense/stressed watching it because the whole film is just a whirlwind and so intense. Just edge of their seat the whole time.
Others were more typical blurting out “oh my god that’s the best movie I have ever seen” or “hands down the best Batman film in existence” that movie deserves an Oscar”.
Addie, you're right, he must have had a plan, he knew where the mob had their money he had the bank heist planned to a tea so that everyone killed everyone else and that they finished right when the school trip buses were returning from whatever field tripthey were on. and he had to have wired the ferries and the hospital before he got arrested and had to have had the bomb surgically implanted into the guy before the 21 gun salute parade, there's a theory that this Joker was an ex cia bomb expert, as opposed to the Joker in the tv show, Gotham, who grew up in a sideshow circus.
I love the scene where the convict throws the detonator off the boat, truly moving
one of the best underrated performances in a small role.
"some.." explosion sound, is absolutely the funniest line in any film ever
I just love your facial reactions! I’m all too happy to subscribe.
"I've never had to de-stress after watching a movie before."
Let me tell you about a director named Darren Aronofsky...
Just wanted to say I'm enjoying your reactions! Keep it up!
Why would... fuc, fuc! Ahhhahaha I love your trying to hold the emotional roller coaster back. You are probably my favorite reactor, Addie.
You're not alone, Addie. When I first saw the movie when it came out, I was 9 years old and the Joker unsettled me. Now he's my favorite movie villain followed by Anton Chigurh (No Country for Old Men).
I agree I prefer Katie Holmes as Rachel. No disrespect towards Maggie I just feel like Katie was the best choice and honestly it’s so frustrating that Tom Cruise prevented her from being in this movie just because he likes to control everything and everyone. On a positive note, it was so funny seeing your reaction every time joker was on screen 😂That’s how it still is for me and I’ve seen the movie countless times and it still sends chills down my spine
well, Tom Cruise did save Katie Holmes from getting blown up by the Joker.... hehe :D
(they didn't kill off the original Rachel, laughs)
Maggie Gyllenhaal is definetly a much better actress than Katie Holmes, but Katie was given better material to work with in Batman Begins.
"Should do fine against cats" (foreshadowing the Dark Knight Rises)
Oooh I was actually waiting for this. Commenting before I watched…I hope you liked it!!
Fun fact: The dinner party scene was the first time the actress who played Rachel saw Ledger in his Joker makeup and was legitimately freaked. Him grabbing her face was not part of the original script, and so the look in her face is actual panic; she kept looking over at Nolan expecting him to call cut, but he didn't
This is half-true. They rehearsed the scene a few times before filming, and both Maggie Gyllenhaal and Michael Caine have said in interviews that they were legitimately freaked out by Ledger in the FIRST REHEARSAL, but that is not the footage we see in the movie. The footage we see is their acting. It was also scripted that Ledger grabs Maggie's face. There are rules in place for anytime an actor has to touch another actor, and Ledger would have gotten in serious trouble if he had grabbed her like that unscripted. It is true, however, that Maggie kept looking over at Nolan, and resulted Ledger giving the unscripted "Look at me!" line. That was the only improvised part of the scene.
The scene with Joker and the mob for the first time is one of the best introductory scenes to a character in all of cinema!
Addie: "...........He's a lot."
😂
I laughed out loud when your pup barked and scared you. My pups do that too. I’ll be watching or doing something, totally engrossed, then they’ll start barking out of nowhere and scare the hell out of me😂
Michael Keaton’s Batman had the best music, style and art direction. Christian Bale’s had the best films, and Ben Affleck’s had the best character arc.
Just watched The dark knight again in my language and I have to say czech dabbing of joker sounds even better. Joker will always be my favourite villain.
her getting jump scared is so adorable lmao
I absolutely love your reactions !!! Your are so girly in your reactions I love it … I thoroughly enjoy watching you reacted .. you’ve made my day several times … thank you … ♥️😀
Your reactions are so pure and natural, thank you again!😇
Oh boy, I actually think The Dark Knight Rises is more stressful and anxiety inducing than this movie... so buckle up!
Don't give up on the series yet Addie. I know how you feel. This movie is so dark that I had a hard time processing it too. The theme of this one is Chaos, and it hits it to a T. The next one has a much more inspiring theme, and I hope that you make it there. Best wishes.
Addie: Yeah, I might have a fear of clowns I didn't know about
Me: *Buckles seat belt
What's so great about this whole movie besides heath's performance is not only was the explosion at the hospital real but during the interrogation, heath told bale to actually hit him and he did and i'm pretty sure when he first entered the party with his speech about how he got his scars to rachael he actually freaked her out during the scene
Yay doggo! ^^ Good boy, Titus! 😊
Love your reaction to this. Welcome to the bat fam. Also good luck on the De stressing LOL 😄
Id love to see you react to a suspense movie like "alien", or "predator". They are classics for a reason.
I mean I always loved your reactions up till now, but this takes the cake for me :D Very entertaining :)
You have such a lovely voice. Every time you yelped out a chorus of "no, no, no!" it was in such a lovely, sing-song manner. I wonder if you sing.
