The writing, the drama, the score, the cinematography; it's all really good.

    The Killing Joke served as one of the direct inspirations for this movie. The interrogation room scene is very much like the scene in the comic. The fact that Joker keeps telling different stories about the origins of his facial scars is also a nod, as he says in the comic, "If I had an origin story, I would prefer it to be multiple choice." And this Joker wants to get people to abandon their rules and morals in order to prove that everyone can be compromised and embrace anarchy like him, much the way The Killing Joke's Joker wanted to prove that "one bad day" is all that it takes for a person to become just like him.

    What's so interesting is that this movie basically IS the Joker's backstory. He had the craziest arc in this movie. He went from committing crimes out of misanthropy and fun, wanting to kill and unmask Batman at the start to break the people's hope, to being filled with hope HIMSELF by Batman... and how he saw himself as Batman's antithesis. Batman gives the Joker a sense of purpose, a force of evil destined to be stopped by Batman over and over, to see who could ultimately demonstrate what comes out on top; hope, or chaos. He went from being a wild dog with no goal, to a man addicted to this cycle he's created.

    I think the point of the Joker is that he's sort of a Schrodinger's Cat, you don't know what he's truly thinking about, maybe he just does whatever comes to mind, or maybe he's this super mastermind planner. He's either Chaos disguised as Order, or Order disguised as Chaos, but no matter what he truly is, the end result of either is still... Chaos.
    Edit: in my opinion he is both, maybe he makes these long term goals that he plans to eventually achieve, but he does so with no real steps, he just goes along only sort of loosely knowing where the road will take him.

  • @ShadowService
    @ShadowService 15 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I think Joker's infatuation with Batman is this: Joker believes that all people are corruptible - all you have to do is find the right trigger. That belief is his justification for what he does. Batman as the symbol that cannot be corrupted is the psychological scar he can't deal with... If Batman is truly incorruptible then all the horrible things Joker did can't be justifiable because those people could have been innocent. If he can corrupt Batman then it is proof he is right. He can't let Batman die before he is corrupted because then he'll never be able to prove his own justification. And the more atrocities Joker commits on the path, the more it is impossible to let go of trying to corrupt Batman because the more he does the more he'd have to face his own sins if he was wrong all along.

    And yes, they recast Rachel. Rumor has it, the movie studio wasn't thrilled by all the unusual attention that Katie Holmes' new relationship with Tom Cruise was getting while Batman Begins was in theaters, and they were worried that it would affect their multi-million dollar Batman movie franchise in unwanted ways.
