I think it’s so sad that when they announced that Heath would be playing the joker, so many people were angry since they saw him as more of a romantic-comedy actor. Heath died before he could experience all the love & awards.
And the same thing happened when Robert Pattinson was announced as The Batman.
I don't think Heath went completely unknowing of the love and literal genius he put into his performance. I'm sure Bale, Nolan, and everyone who worked with him told him of how amazing he was. And I'm sure he knew aswell... 🖤 RIP...
@@tebzmoney259 And then he became the arguably best portrayal of Batman
@@tebzmoney259 I felt this way aswell
But I went in with a open mind and I loved it
@@tebzmoney259 Nothing compared to the initial outrage against Keaton. People were also skeptical towards Affleck.
The reason for the Joker changing his back story originated in the comics. Joker said “If I’m going to have a back story I prefer it to be multiple choice”. I think not knowing he truly is adds to the terror of the character. A popular hunch for this Joker is that he is a war veteran suffering from PTSD. Some reviewers have noted his skill with an array of weapons or knives. When interrogated by Batman, he lectures him saying “Never start with the head the victim gets all fuzzy” suggests he is familiar with conducting or receiving interrogations. Obviously he is a master planner and in his monologue about chaos and how people don’t panic even when things going according to a horrific plan, he alludes to gang bangers getting shot (mob leaders are killed in the movie), mayors being killed (which he attempts to do) and a “truck load of soldiers being blown up”. This bit has no relation to the movie and may be a hint to something that happened to him in the past. Anyway it’s just a theory that I like and thought I’d share
I'd agree except that they couldn't identify him when in custody. He couldn't have been just a soldier, he must have been black ops or CIA.
"Sometimes I remember it one way and other times another" I like that joker doesn't even know himself.
Back in the 90's BATMAN: The ANIMATED SERIES, Batman explained it best to Harley in MAD LOVE. Joker has reinvented his origin so many times even he doesn't know it anymore. He's just living in the moment. Changing it to meet his needs, whatever they might be.
There's no true origin story to the joker , whether it's the 1989 batman one or this one ; there's no origin to him .
And he was in uniform.
notice that when the joker put that gun into harvey hand, his finfers were on the hammer of the gun, so even if harvey decided to shoot him on the face, he wouldnt die, because when the trigger was pulled, the hamer would never reach the bullet.
this is one of many proofs of this movie, that the joker acctuly doesnt leave anything by chance.
That's a common idea, but I don't think it follows. First, that finger is neither positioned correctly to stop the hammer (it's off to the side in a manner that would probably cause the digit to slide-off if the hammer were released), nor strong enough to do so if it was (if you were going to try that technique and count on it to work, you'd at the very least use your thumb). Small-arms manuals are very specific on this point; if you have to manually de-cock a loaded weapon, you put your appendage *between* the hammer and the chamber, not on the hammer itself, the idea being to make it impossible for the two components to touch without physically punching through your hand. Relying on your finger to stop the hammer is like carrying around a live grenade with the pin out; it's just not very healthy.
Second, the Joker has no issue with dying for his cause. He wanted Batman to run him down, he wanted Batman to throw him to his death, and he would have been perfectly happy with Harvey shooting him in the face for the same reason; because it would prove his point. No need to wait for Harvey to flip coins at people if he commits murder and destroys his reputation right there in that hospital room. And the Joker very much leaves things to chance, or at least to decisions outside his control. That's the point; to force people to confront their own morality and values, hopefully (to the Joker) resulting in proof that they have neither. Similar dynamic to Jigsaw's traps in the "Saw" series, though with almost the opposite motivations (Jigsaw wanted to force people to appreciate what they had by paying for it).
It's a bit of a minor mistake in the shooting to show the finger touching the hammer at all, I think, as it leads to understandable if unintended conclusions on the part of the audience, but examining the idea in the context of the whole narrative makes it pretty clear it's just a visual error.
@@michaelccozens i have some disagreements with you on that, there are moments where you can acctuly see joker thumb being used.
and also, even tough the joker doesnt mind dying, he still wouldnt want to die wighout knowing that he achieved something, that being to bring more chaos.
altough i'm a bit busy RN, i would love to chat about this in the future if you want
I always liked the line "Sometimes people deserve to have their faith rewarded", cause that really doesn't happen in real life.
Not often, and not if you don't make it, but it does. Some prophecies are self-fulfilling.
That scene where Joker was wondering why the hospital wasn't blowing up was actually semi improvised. It was set to go all at once but instead something went wrong and the charges weren't going off, Heath being 100 percent in character acted like he had no idea what was going on, and in the end we have another fantastic scene with Joker because he just went along with it. RIP Heath Ledger, he got a lot of shit for being a "pretty boy" (at least before his death when he was known for stuff like A Knight's Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You) but he was a good guy and a fantastic actor.
It’s just a myth. Scene was planned with that pause. First set of explosions were just fx, the second was real demolition. They wanted him as close as possible to the explosion.
It has not set to go all at once, it has set to have an interval for security reasons. BUT how he reacted and keep into character has improvised and added a lot to the scene
myth. Honestly, these are demolishion experts. Every single spark is planned to exact details. If it was a delayed accidential explosion, security would have had Heath off that set the moment things went wrong. It was planned this way with the delay, maybe Heath added a little improv but the explosions happed just as planed, so sayth Chris Nolan
@@Jashtvorak glad you corrected. Do people think demolition and explosive experts are bad at their jobs? It blew exactly when they wanted.
He’s walking away dressed as a nurse 😅😅
The interrogation scene is the best written scene in the film. The layers of meaning and the Batman/Joker dynamic is best displayed in that one scene.
I always loved the visual joke of a fire truck on fire. It's such a Joker thing to do.
In one of the early comics of Batman, no one knew where Joker came from or what his origin story is, it wasn't until later on the comics made the Joker of a vast of toxic waste his story. But the comics were rebooted so many times that people forgot what the origins of the Joker was. Christopher Nolan plays around with that idea of the Joker in this movie.
Ohhh that is amazing. I love that.
@@NewfieMovieReactions Me too, I love the idea that this chaotic evil is portrayed in the early comics like natural entity that came from the decay of society. They showed the relationship between Batman and Joker in that quote, "this is what happens when unstoppable force meets and unmovable object."
The Joker is such a liar. He is a man with a plan and he is a schemer, too. You just never know when he's in the mood and who he feels like messing with.
What's great about Joker switching the addresses is that he actually gave Batman a chance to save Rachel. Joker, knowing there's a relationship there, was probably curious to see where Batman's mind was. If Batman had decided to pick Dent, which would have been the right choice for the city, then he would have ended up saving Rachel, which would be Joker rewarding him for his selflessness in a way. But since he picked Rachel, it ended up not only causing her loss, but Dent's as well, since her death was the catalyst for him becoming Two Face.
And the most brilliant part of all of it is it's not explained at all. It makes you think about it.
Yeah I didn't think of it at the time of recording it. But now that you point it out. Wow.. that is amazing. :)
@@NewfieMovieReactions Joker also telegraphed it relatively heavily (for him), but Batman was too emotionally involved to notice. "250 52 Street" is a palindrome. "Avenue X" is just a cross, and "Cicero" was an ancient Roman politician from Caesar's time, Julius having been cited earlier during the dinner conversation between Bruce, Rachel, Harvey, and the Russian ballerina. Depending on your historical viewpoint, Cicero was either one of the Republic's last great defenders or one of the chief reasons for its demise (personally, I think the latter far more accurate). Every piece of the addresses hinted at a switch, but Batman failed to pick-up on the pattern.
It's also interesting in that it seems to be Joker's only outright lie, and it's for a very specific reason; to test Batman. Whoever Batman chooses to save, he'll have his primary motivation dashed, either by accidentally saving Rachel if he puts the city first and goes for Harvey, or by getting Harvey if he puts his personal life first and goes for Rachel, as he did. Either way, it's pretty much exactly what you want if you really, really want to know if there's any circumstances under which Batman will kill you.
At the hospital explosion, there was an unexpected delay in the pyrotechnics. Heath tried to stay in character by messing with the remote because it was only one take. They actually blew up a building.
It was 100% planned. Nolan debunked that rumor a few years ago.
15:35 the older dude is a sitting Vermont U.S Senator in real life, I think his name is Patrick Leahy, there was people saying that he was in this because he’s a big Batman fan.
Fun fact: the low droning sound whenever Joker's on screen was achieved by dragging a razor down a cello
Personally, I would not have ben able to pull the bomb trigger on the ferries. My reasoning is, knowing the Joker as he was portrayed in this film, it would not surprise me if the Joker gave each ferry the trigger to its own bomb and only told them it was for the other. My theory is if either ferry had activated the trigger, they would have blown themselves up.
The issue with this train of thought is that Joker's end game is to make Gotham give in to chaos, to win the 'battle for its soul'. If a ship blew itself up and the other ship has a clearly non-triggered detonator with dozens of eyewitnesses saying they didn't do it, and with no evidence available about the other boat having pulled THEIR trigger since they just blew themselves to hell, everyone would believe the Joker simply blew up one of the boats, and it's not like investigators would be in a rush to reveal the truth if they ever found out.
Except you wouldn't know joker if you were there so you wouldn't go that way
Only a few know him
@@Dr.HooWho He put himself on TV several times, not to mention the call-in shows. ALL of Gotham knew the Joker!
The movie has been out for 13 years and this is his first time watching it
Yup! I just reacted to Indiana Jones for the first time and that came out over 40 years ago. Haha. :)
None of the film Batman masks could turn their heads until this movie. (with the exception of the fully cloth Adam West one) That alteration was a big deal.
Niice. Welcome to the single greatest superhero movie of all time. Heath Ledger's Oscar winning performance still brings me to tears. Damn.
You can see why this has long been considered by many to be the best comic book film ever, and just all around one of the best movies ever. This film actually made comic book films legitimate. It was my favorite Batman film until The Dark Knight Rises, which was then surpassed by The Batman. Still miffed it wasn't even nominated for Best Picture at the Oscars. That was the hardest slap not to be outdone until Will Smith in 2022.
Best comic book film? Strange as this "Joker" is as far away from comic Joker as you can get.
@@ItApproaches your statement is non sequitur. Your implying that it isn't the best comic film, and the reason it isn't is because you see this characterization of the Joker as not being comic book accurate. While they aren't exactly the same, that isn't - in any way - what would categorize it as best or one of the best comic book films. And personally, you're wrong, he's pretty close to the comic book version. Not exactly. But closer than any other besides Mark Hamil from the animated series.
@@FLQueerLiberal1982 Your name is fitting. A liberal indeed. Always so defensive and always utterly against reality lol. Who you trying to convince? An apparently perceived "me", or the you that believes in a "you"? Heath told almost no jokes, he almost never laughed, only giggled like a school girl. Joker would never care about scars. This was like a copycat, a guy dressing up as Joker in our world and doing his own twist. I know you humans lack critical thinking, but you could at least have a curiosity as to why someone has a different view then you. Alas it's always attack those with different views, you don't even care if your view is accurate, you just care about your ego, about being seen as a validated sheep. No real point in talking with liberals.
@@ItApproaches Who cares? It being a highly acclaimed comic book movie doesn't instantly mean that the contents NEED to be faithful to the source material (and imo somewhat lacking originality).
This easily is one of the best comic book movies, do you disagree? If so explain why?
@@atmbcito Doesn't matter to who, all opinions are equally worthless. Most content is lacking originality these days. Either from a lack of trying or humanity hit their limit already.
23:33 such an outstanding moment! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
I find it so hard to believe a man of your age has never seen this lol. It’s like borderline impossible especially if you are a comic book fan.
is this really the logic we going by now 💀
@@dean3134 Me. No we
good pickup on the makeup. fun fact, Heath ledger did his own makeup job. he also directed the scenes where the joker is interrogating tied up people.
I think this is one of the greatest Batman movies of all time. Heath Ledger really set the bar. RiP Heath
I think the joker changes his story every time he tells it so he can basically scare the life out of someone
It was roller coaster , the movie its 3 hrs but we didn't want it to end
For those of you that didnt catch it
Avenue X - Rachel is on the road to death
250 52nd st - Harvey will become 2 halfs. Good and evil. 50/50
You should watch Gotham. It's an interesting take on Batman as a kid. Lots of future villains as kids/teenagers becoming who they'd eventually be as well. It has the best version of Alfred ever made. Gordon as a rookie cop in Gotham as well.
I’m going to speak from the other side and say you shouldn’t watch Gotham, because it’s stupid.
@@MrAdamloring1985 if you have an opinion, at least back it up with actual criticism
Katie Holmes was only in the first movie and I’m not sure why but they did recast her so this is actually Maggie gylenhall
What Joker is doing is all about "The Killing Joke".
That was indeed awsome make-up!! Heath Ledger put on the make-up himself you can see that his fingers are always coverd in white and black and some red make-up...his mouth pieces were comming of his face so he used his tong to stick the prostatics back on his face Heath used this to his joker act!!
Woah! I didn't know that. That's awesome! :D I like it.
In the history of comics the Joker is by far my favorite villain. There's just something about him that's supremely unsettling. It's like real life. There are your Richard Kulinski's, your Kenneth Bianchis, etc. But then there are your Ed Geins and H.H. Holmes. People so twisted they stick in a society's subconscious forever, even if you don't know their names. Ever seen Texas Chainsaw Massacre, or Saw? Yeah that's Ed and H.H.
This trilogy is my favourite of all The Batman’s look forward to you watching The Dark Knight Rises
08:29 being such a comic book fanboi I'm a little surprised you didn't recognize Michael Jai White who played Spawn (1997)....though as I type this I don't know if you've ever seen it soooooo.....maybe that explains it. Ok then.
edit: and I love that you love Heath's Joker. He set the bar pretty high after this and to my knowledge, no one has met it since.
Ah, what timing! Just when I had been thinking to see this stunning film again.
Tom Cruise Missile happened to Katie Holms (Rachel).
What’s cool is that at 26:47 when Batman punches Joker Heath asked Christian to actually punch him
just saying i know i am a bit late on this video but jokers main plan wasnt to show gotham them real colores but his main plan was to break batman and to make him break his 1 rule and that is not to kill anyone and in the end he broke that rule
Now i know batman survived at the end when the bomb went off
because of her.
Katie Holmes wanted to make a movie with Diane Keaton, Queen Latifah, and Ted Danson called Mad Money. It was actually a really good comedy money heist movie. But that's at least the reason I'm aware she wasn't in this film. So they hired Maggie Gyllenhaal, sister of Jake Gyllenhaal. Jake and Heath played closeted lovers in Brokeback Mountain. There's a really great meme that says something like "I wish someone would hold me the way Heath Ledger holds the Gyllenhaals."
It's actually rumored Tom cruise didn't want her to do the movie
Funny enough i think he's serious when he says he is not crazy. He's psychopathic, but not delusional. His mind is perfectly clear and that's why he can perform plans so intricate, not only cops but even Bruce himself does not keep up. He lies when he says he has no plan. You don't terrorize an entire city without a plan and not get caught.
I believe the scene when Batman, and the asian villain, are pulled out of the building by the airplane is a big "no no". That plane is going at least 500 km/h, and they are standing still when pulled out. They would be ripped/yanked apart by the force.
I imagine there could be at least a portion of the rope that stretches like the stuff they use for Bungie jumping.
Something I just realised…where was joker during the events of DKR?
His Makeup looks so cool cause he did it himself...he refused professional makeup cause he thought the Joker is a character who does his own makeup ^^ and he was so right about it
Problem is the Joker doesn't wear make up , it's permanently bleached skin but sadly after Heath did this version here they wanted to make the Joker more realistic 🙄
@@sophiecooper1824The Comicjoker wasn't fitting in that grimdark version of the films, so they went for the insane lunatic in those films... as comicfan you should watch the older ones
@@davidnau2626 trust me I've seen everything, my favorite Joker is definitely
Mark Hamill, you can't spell Mark Hamill without Arkham 🃏
@@sophiecooper1824 Thats the nice thing everyone got his or her favorite joker
Joker is the hero of Gotham film theory. He’s way more complex than credited
Why does Walmart sell Batman shampoo, but there's no Conditioner Gordon?
Can’t wait for the next one!
Heath Ledger is absolutely amazing!! And once again the instrumental music in these films are just so good, gives me goosebumps certain parts especially the end!!!
Great reaction as always!!! Can't wait for next one 😄
Batman Begins did so much work deconstructing Batman/Bruce Wayne so that this movie could really shine in zeroing in on the Joker.
I wouldn't push the button because I will never sink to a criminals level like that for any reason and I'm not afraid of dying cause I know where I'm going!
*ABSOLUTE CLASSIC*
He keeps licking his lips.😋
Because he is bat shit crazy🤣
Thoroughly enjoyed this. You do a fantastic job making me feel like I am watching a movie with a friend.
All the best from Southern Ontario.
P.s This movie is a must rewatch alone. You really need to savour jokers scenes.
Yea no. It's because of the prosthetics on his face
@@アキコ2003 it also makes sense as a tic inside the movie because he was licking the scars while they were sore.
i like how youtubes eve inline advert ruins the mood....
Great reaction video. 😎
As a species we're fundamentally insane. Put more than two of us in a room, we pick sides and start dreaming up reasons to kill one another. Why do you think we invented politics and religion?
Stephen King
i'd never heard of Heath Ledger. I didnt know prior to this film he killed himself. I am also however, a massive DC COMIC fan. I did not like his version at all. It was more of what Black Mask would of been like, or a psycho member of Intergang. The joker is random and silly. Like one of his evil plots was to dump laughing gas in the ocean to make the fish smile, then sell them as Happy Meals, only to then get angry because of "that other clown selling Happy Meals" so pulls a Dr Evil by saying "Lets just steal some guns and hold the city hostage my dear bwahahahahaha!" Or to punish the commissioner by posing as his dentist to pull out all his teeth, laughing "may the floss be with you." in reference to Mark Hammil being in the Star Wars film. This joker was series. Methodical. Calculating. His plans had plans. Thats NOT the joker. When i said my opinion afterwards to my mate, we had screeching people loosing their mind "how dare you, he killed himself!" So what? He's still a terrible Joker. His performance is amazing, its just not how Joker would act. And i will die on this hill that he is the worst Joker.
Heath actually did his own makeup and made that suit he wears. Also in the interrogation scene, Heath actually asked Christian to hit him for real, so that one punch against the wall was real. For a last act, he made that shit count, love Heath. Best joker, and that’s not an opinion
This joker is better than I remember Holly cow
Your reaction to this was golden. I appreciate your appreciation.
As a marvel fan I am hoping you do moon knight
I think its fair to call this the greatest superhero film ever
I would push the button soon as I saw it
This movie is so good, and Heath Ledger is amazing. I’m in the minority that TDKR is the best of the trilogy. It’s such a good ending to a series.
I bet joker made it so if you tried to blow up the other boat it blew up the boat they were on instead
Bruce may have shafted a lot of his friends, but he is still a multi-billionaire at least.
I don't think any marvel movies can compare to this movie.. or Constantine or Joker... I do love the Blade movies from Marvel though
That is Katie Holmes 🤣
My theory is that Joker actually did give the boats their own detonator so if they had decided to blow up the other one they would have killed themselves.
Heath’s lip licking was actually to help him keep on the prosthetics around his mouth corners. This helped with them not having to stop and apply adhesive between takes so often but also added a creepy element.
Heath also said that his joker voice dried his mouth out a lot, and licking his lips helped him keep the voice going
One of the side effects of more than a few antipsychotics is drymouth. Fun fact.
I was under the impression his licking was because he'd studied patients on strong anti psychotics, give them long term dry mouth.
I was about to say this
@@1975Rysky Same with ADD meds and benzos. Akathisia and tardive dyskinesia, DPA sensitization abound. I do the exact same things as Heath and knowing our shared scripts, I wouldn't be surprised, so that's my theory. Someone like Joker would be more like this or JOAQKERUIN IRL too so it's dope
I believe the people on the ferry, had they pushed the button, would have blown themselves up. Why would you think The Joker was telling you the truth. He told different scar stories. He switched the addresses for Rachel and Harvey. He said they would find Harvey Dent at an address but instead found two corpses who's combined names made Harvey Dent. He's unreliable to say the least and don't you think he would find it funny they killed themselves trying to save themselves?
Yup! I was thinking that as well. I feel like if either one of the boats pressed the button they would have both blown up from the first press, regardless of who pressed it. haha.
Hey, when Joker is talking I think it is better to assume he is lying. Or creatively distorting the truth.
I actually had a false memory of that happening (the civilian boat pressing it and blowing themselves up), and I was surprised once again by the outcome when watching the movie for the second time.
@@peterlewis2178 ever heard of mandela effect? I wonder if more people have that false memory.
Joker would likely want the survivors to be haunted by their decision to commit murder.
Heath Ledger posthumously took home the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as the Joker, and did one hell of a job.
Weird knowing he was a supporting actor since he steals literally every second he's on screen.
I have seen this movie a lot of times and I still get chills from Joker's introduction
I was thinking about it, and I realized that Ledger's performance as "Joker" might be as mesmerizing as it is because it's like being in a small room with a jungle cat or a pissed-off cobra. Your monkey brain doesn't dare look away, because the threat could hit you at any moment, and the only thing you can expect is that the attack will come from a direction you weren't expecting.
An important point on Harvey’s double headed coin is when he abducts the schizophrenic and continuously flipped the coin, he had no intention of killing him. Heads was how he would stay alive and it was the only option on the coin
Joker isn't crazy...or, he isn't JUST crazy. He makes a game of breaking peoples' sanity. He loves pushing people to break the social, ethical and moral rules that they hold dear. He's exceptionally intelligent, and masterfully manipulative. Look at this film again with that idea in mind.
Indeed, there's a method to his madness... a very efficient, well-planned, ruthless, cold, and calculating method.
hes just... ahead of the curve.
Joker is a zealot.
i remember seeing this movie when it first came out, I was like 7 or 8 and all these messages and thoughts were out there and had people talking and I was just like batman went WHAM on jokers face yaay🤣🤣🤣
There are some cool easter eggs that I appreciate a lot as a batman fan. In the first scene where Harvey's talking to gordan in Harvey's office, if you look at the background behind gordan on the book shelf, one side is neat and organized, while the other is super messy and disorganized. Also in the dark alley scene where dent flips the coin to choose whether to kill the guy or not, if you look at his face, the darkness covers half of his face. Beautiful hidden foreshadowing. Sorry for the long message LOL just thought people would appreciate that! (:
The best part is that Joker still wins by making Batman a villain.
Ledger was just incredible in this. Especially the voice. He could go from hyena-like cackling and laughing to almost demonic growls, when (for example) he records himself torturing the Batman copycat. His voice was incredibly creepy and it's only when you watch him a youtube interview with him doing his normal voice that you realise the lengths he went to.
When Joker lit up that pile of cash, Lao was on top of the stack. It's easy to miss, but adds another layer of terror to the Joker.
I’ve watched this many times and somehow never managed to catch that detail. That scene has always seemed like a weird weak point to me but now it makes SO much more sense and is so much more impactful.
@@GreySim yah so the reason for that is there was a whole shot of Lao burning but they had to remove it so the movie wasn’t rated R
This is one of those DC films that will turn you into a DC lover
Heath ledger and the actor in the Joker movie are the best jokers
This version of the Joker is how you let a villain be a villain
This is one of the most amazing but devastating roles I've ever seen. Heath ledger really took this role on and it is said it took a toll on his mental health but he was a method actor and really wanted to give his all to the role. Luckily the world agrees that heath ledger was just out of this world
Those rumors about this role effecting is mental health have all been proven to just be rumors. They where made up when he died to by the press to sensationalize the reason he died. But everyone he worked with in this movie has said that he was always nice and agreeable between takes, and was going out at night to have dinner and drinks Worley friends and crew members.
@@MrAdamloring1985 the reason why I spoke about it is due to the information given on the programme autopsy which stated that people close to heath ledger at the time said he would lock himself away for months at a time in complete isolation, I was going from that. Whether or not it did according to his loved ones he took that role so seriously it affected him mentally after
@@WelshAmethystGirl087 from what i heard it was due to insomnia which was cause by some other stuff. but i could be wrong.
@@ok5585 if you watch the documentary about it and how he died you will hear from those who were closest to him, they all say that he did choose to close himself away to prepare for the role as he always was a method actor. Apparently according to them he went to a really dark place to get into character and struggled to get back after plus he had issues with drugs so eventually it was like a cocktail of things. He did suffer with other things but I think that role was either the catalyst or the straw that broke the camels back. He actually in a way kind of became the joker but struggled to find heath again after
@@MrAdamloring1985 I agree but I also watched interviews with his loved ones around that time and they said different. Yes he was nice and polite and lovely I never said he wasn't but he was a method actor. He would lock himself away to try to get his mind in the place of the joker but once filming ended he struggled to come back that mixed with drug taking and other things yes caused his death. You can't make me believe otherwise I've read the autopsy and I've seen the guy who performed Princess Diana's inquest look into this more deeply when you take into account everything, That joker role was either the catalyst or the straw that broke the camels back
This is easily one of the best trilogies in history.
You cut the movie in parts pretty professionally! 👀
Thanks, it takes a lot of time and effort. :)
My favorite Batman series. The acting and direction were perfectly done imo. RIP Heath Ledger, you were the best 🙏
Absolutely tragic what happened to Heath Ledger. This was a career making performance.
You have to imagine he would have been a huge part of the franchise going forward (assuming he wanted to be)
Fun fact:
At one point while they were filming the scene where The Joker shows up at the party and starts threatening Rachel, some pyrotechnics set fire to Maggie Gyllenhaal's dress. Heath then quickly came to her rescue by smothering the flames with his body. An onlooker said had he not intervened as quickly as he did, Maggie would have likely suffered burns.
That would have been an interesting twist, having Rachel become Two Face.
I'm of the opinion the Joker conjures up a background story depending on WHO he's talking to.
He makes the story about something deeply personal to them and something they may want (Gambel's may have wanted a missing father in childhood. Rachel may desire to marry a powerful man, because she's beautiful).
And then his story turns dark and shows that you may not actually like getting the thing you've always wanted. (Gambel's father may have been a fiend. Rachel's inner ugliness (a vice like gambling, or whatever HER vice is) might drive her to destroy her marriage and her man).
It seems just like the the Joker to make you think your own dreams may be your own nightmare.
The story depending on the person is correct, but it's not exactly something they want and how it could go bad. It's tapping into their trauma. Gambel probably had an abusive father, and Rachel is worried about her relationship with Dent because of how much danger he's always in. He finds a way to bring out fear and chaos, and to manipulate people into shock.
@@whimsydimsy8774 do you believe that Gambel had an **abusive** father or an **absent** father, being from the inner city?
im know absentee-ism is about 45% in the black community, but I couldnt find much conclusive numbers about abuse other than it's "high" and "alarming."
I think you have more info than me....what's the scoop?
@@slchance8839 It's more-so the fact that most people who end up in a life of crime, with an addition of violent tendencies, had been abused by a parental figure. After all, when you look into Gambel's eyes in his last moments, you don't see wanting. You see fear, throughout the whole story. He didn't move, even when he had every opportunity to.
Also, yes, I have the script for the movie. I love it.
@@whimsydimsy8774 "...violent tendencies, had been abused by a parental figure..." That makes sense.
I had assumed absent fathers caused more criminals than violent ones.....but now that I think about it.....i dont know what I was thinking. The violence begets violence.
Heath did his own makeup for every shoot, leaves make up on his fingers you can see whenever he doesn't have gloves on in the movie, and he had a prosthetic scar glued up from the corners of mouth and he was licking the corner of his lips to press them down, just added to the character in the end.. brilliant
The Dark Knight is just perfect! The Christopher Nolan Batmobile and Batbike riding scenes are just incredible. This movie is also fascinating with dialogue. 😇
I still remember the stunned feeling I had sitting in the theater when The Dark Knight ended. It was such a transformative experience, because I felt like I saw the world in a whole new light. It's been years and I still think about this movie. I think that's the power of the best films. TDK wasn't just a movie, it was an unforgettable experience.
I had the exact same feeling. When the movie ended there was about 6 seconds of silence in the theater and nobody moved. Then almost at the same time everyone stood up and applauded. I had never experienced that before and haven’t since. Just such a good movie.
The joker clapping was unscripted, they thought it was funny and left it in there. Same with the faulty hospital explosion
The clap was intentional but the hospital was scripted down to the second due to only having one take.
13:15 LOOK AT ME!!! 😨
Heath Ledger Joker always has the power to turn Marvel fans into DC fans that is truly his legacy
Dark and gritty. Exactly. Too many superhero movies have too many wisecracks; directors just can't bring themselves to do, as you said, dark and gritty. Makes for a more real experience, don't it?!! Good description. And there's nothing like the Nolan trilogy.
"Why are we going to hunt him?"
"Because we have to."
Sad and heavy words from Gordon.
Ah yes..one of my top 5 favorite films🙂
My man. watching you react to this took me back to my first time watching it. This was by far one of my all time favorite movies and watching you go through what I went through and even more from it just made my day.
Here is a bit of movie trivia for you about this movie.
You mentioned how well Joker's make was done. Heath Ledger actually insisted on doing his own make up. He said the Joker wouldn't really have anyone to do it for him so he did it himself. If you look carefully at his hands you might notice traces of the white make up on his hands.
Looking forward to more of your reaction vids
Rip keath legger out of all movies you played in two are altime favorite "a knights tale" and "the dark knight" aa very brilliant actor.🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😢😢😢😢😢😢😢💖💖💖💖💖💐💐🥰🥰
Yeah, I remembered from the 90s animated series that Two-Face's name is Harvey, so in theaters when I heard his name is Harvey, I'm like "Harvey? Two-Face's name is Harvey, is he Two-Face?" Then an hour later we see him spill the barrel full of gasoline and his face is on the floor on one side, I'm like "Yep, it's gonna happen, he's gonna be Two-Face!"
Interesting about the burnt coin, it's from Rachel. He gave that coin to Rachel before she died and Batman found it at her spot. So when Harvey picked up the coin, he thought for a moment she made it out, then of course he turns the coin over and realizes she didn't, causing him to go from calmly revealed smiling to freaking out with heart-broken anger and sadness. Basically the thrashing version of Vader going *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!*
I have the Two-Face coin, had it in my wallet for 13 years now :D
Oooohhh that's amazing. Thanks for sharing! :D
Surprised me how many people didn't know Harvey was two face, but then again I watched that cartoon as a child too haha
DC is way better than Marvel,just because of Batman. Batman alone is way better than all of the Marvel superheroes. Except Captain America,this is close,but still,he is better
I love this one due to Heath Ledger. He - in my opinion - overshadowed all the other actors, however. Whereas in the third one, the performances of all actors were well balanced, I think. This is why I slightly prefer the third movie.
This movie should be renamed "The Joker" and "The Joker" should be renamed as "The other guy"
Unfortunately the third movies story is bad
The joker playing about with the detonator for the explosives in the hospital wasn’t in the script. Heath Ledger completely improvised that bit because some of the explosives on the set didn’t go off as planned and the explosions were delayed but he kept going with it
Joker made just 1 mistake. He didn't make the detonators on the boats really big and red, no one can resist pressing a really big red button - especially if it has writing on it that says don't push.
The bank manager in the beginning is played by William Fichtner! You might have seen him in Crash, Equilibrium, Elysium, Armageddon, a whole host of others. Even if the movie he's in is rubbish (not this one, of course), he brings excellence and really sells the character.
