Im glad im not the only one that caught that! I would also say the path to conformity and acceptance is a climb However insanity is always a descent The imagery is staggering+
I caught that symbolism as well. The staircase is his struggle with life. We see Arthur going up this long, steep set of stair that must be difficult to climb. But when we see him as Joker, he's not just going down those stairs, he's dancing down them. Life is much easier and enjoyable for him when he becomes Joker. He's no longer struggling. He's free.
I can not understand why so many reactors do not understand that he is probably helping his mother because she is not well in some way. That is not weird, I would hope most people would do this for their aging parents I know I would.
Yeah, i'm pretty surprised that none can see that she's probably got Alzheimer's or something. What is amazing about these scenes, is you can see the under layer of him cracking. Especially in the bath scene, the way he throws the water in her face, he's palming it off as a game, but there's some definite mania involved in that scene. I would say that we are going to see that there is some residual resentment towards his mother that is leading to his depression as well.
That's what I took from it. He's probably a lonely guy who has to take care of his sick mother. She's one of the few connections to humanity he has. And he spends so much time doing that, he has to settle for crap jobs like twirling signs on the dirty, dangerous Gotham streets, and has a hard time even going on a date.
Not all have gone to the same "no choice" scenario as some like this Arthur. Not enough money to get help for her ailing mother and him trying his best to put a smile to her mother's face while outside around him is trying to tear him apart just for fun.
I think you mean it doesn't feel like an MCU or DCEU movie. Comic books are as diverse in their content and presentation as films; film's aren't just summer blockbuster MCU movies.
@@diesenutss Yeah, I think so. It feels like Logan, a movie that's about a character who is not necessarily a comic book character but just happens to be one.
agreed. watched the trailer before this. liked it, personally. in a different way. wasn't sure how others received it though. only took a few seconds of this video to know.
Cmayja look either way this will be an interesting movie for sure. And yes I agree Heath has a different laugh but Joaquin’s laugh is close to Mark Hamil. U know in the Arkham games and animated series
At what point in TDK did Ledger transform? What comic or animated series adaptation was his Joker based on? Was never a fan of that take. This one here though is pretty dam frightening. The Laugh, is perfect.
Indeed, it's why it's silly how hard they chased Marvels format. They're better suited to these no connected stories, saying that Logan was good. marvel have some interesting characters that would really suit a serious 1 off r rated tale
Same here, no disrespect to Marvel but i just feel like a Good Marvel movie can't match a Good DC movie. To me the characters in DC feels more realistic, plus i also like the Dark tone.
I thought that the shot of him in the elevator was particularly interesting. to me, i kind of thought it was the duality his mind. he, himself, is trying to keep his feelings contained, but the patient that's thrashing around and losing it is his internal mindset. the other two men, to me, represent the fact that no one's doing anything in spite of another person's obvious pain. maybe i'm just reading too much into it XD... anyway, i love your videos, Grace!!
I think this joker will be as good as Ledger's just with a different view. In The Dark Knight he was portrayed more as this mysterious insane genius in the best way, but this version seems so heartbreakingly human (it also kind of reminds me of Birdman, which is great), and it will probably help the way mental illness is seen. Loved it.
I like the comparison to Birdman, that descent into madness fueled by an off-balance person being unable to function properly in the world around them I think this will have a much sadder ending though!
@Kirch, you sound like you're describing Jack Nicholson's Joker, and not Heath's. If you don't consider Ledger's Joker a genius, then you have missed a large portion of the film. His foresight and planning are demonstrated from the off with the bank job scene,the way that he manipulates and uses the mob bosses, and then amplified by the chain of events that he created that eventually led to his 'capture' by Gordon, his one-on-one with Batman, and then his subsequent escape. Everything was planned by him. This thread was so good that the producers of the Bond film, Skyfall, copied it for Bardem's villain. One of the great things about the ending of TDK is that Batman thinks that he has won because the people on the ferries didn't blow each other up, but once again the Joker was way ahead of him because that was a secondary objective for him, his main one was taking down and corrupting the 'white knight', Harvey Dent.
I genuinely think this is your best trailer review. It's on point and can feel how emotional you get, for hoping that - just for one time-, someone has portrayed a beloved comic character, with the respect and dedication that it deserves. Thanks for that.
first watch the video, its been 28 min since video is uploaded and your comment shows 21 min and the video itself is 21 min, how the fuck did you watch and got excited???
I love how grace touched on the shot with Zazie. Its like he's nervous because he feels if this works it would be something positive in his life out side of his Mother. Something that is foreign to him. It's like he's saying inside if this works maybe I can have a chance at a normal or for him in his car a great life. At the same time he is nervous on the outside because this is an unknown place for him. Man this is going to be good. Another great breakdown by Grace.
@@BethJehovah Hey, I was literally thinking for a lot of years that the man is crazy and that only from some of the looks he gave to anyone in the Gladiator.
The Joker character feels like a combination of Killing Joke, Taxi Driver, and The Comedian (Watchmen). I am pretty sure the character even quotes the Comedian. This interests me because it was Moore's attempt to re-image some of the key DC characters that really drove Watchmen
The scene where the joker meets young bruce wayne might be the funeral of this parents. He wants to teach the boy how to cope with tragedy - just smile.
I love how almost poetic you describe the smirk scene at the end of this trailer. It got me teared up and a lot of goosebumps, this trailer. love your reaction and breakdown on this one, Grace.
My favorite moments is when he really smiles for the first time almost as if he's getting a sense of irony and the moment he strides confidently with the flower's in his full attire.
Grace, i don’t know what I enjoy more: the trailer, the masterful review or your enthusiasm knowing this is the best and most comic accurate adaptation of the essence of joker Brilliant!!!
Batman will always be the best comic book character because of the greatness of his villains... No hero has as many great counterparts as Batman, they just need to be exploited.... And he has the best villain ever
This is by far my favorite Trailer Review and Shot by Shot thus far. There's so much within this one trailer that doesn't spoil anything but draws you to it. It really brings a Smile to your face.
The "Taxi Driver" connection is absolutely correct and it's clearly required viewing if you want to fully "get" this movie. I've already seen it a couple of times and it makes a big impression. Thank goodness NYC isn't quite as scary now as it was back in the 70's.
Grace, I think you totally NAILED it here with your breakdown, it's why I just keep coming back to your channel. I love this trailer and I just hope the movie can live up to it. This looks like it will be a beautiful story of a man so in pain who finally, when viewing his life as a comedy, is able to overcome his suffering and become a confident man ready to face life standing straight. Sure, he might loose his humanity/sanity along the way but at least he can smile about it.
This is going to be a serial killer movie! So many serial killers have similar origins--weird relationship with their mother, bullied and/or abused--and the smile he gives the therapist is just the type of affectation a psychopath would give.
I love the stairs...I've been looking for their location until I saw a review saying it's on 187th st between Overlook Terrace and Fort Washington Ave.
I agree w most everything with the exception of you insinuating there could be an inappropriate relationship between him and his mother. For me, it clearly comes across a boy/man who loves his mother so much because they’ve been through a lot together.
This just moved up right next to Godzilla with super high in expectations. The movie definitely has Scorsese's influences and also follows the lead of Christopher Nolan in terms making it looked gritty and grounded. Perhaps this the origin movie of a trilogy.
Honestly I love how you bring so much more out of these trailer and movies for me! Thank you it makes me appreciate the work even more. Sometimes I just don’t have that eye but that’s why I’m subscribed
Kept expecting the hear bottles clink and hear ' warriors come out to play ' .. Some of the shots just had that feel . Really looking forward to this film though , I wasn't when stills started surfacing but this trailer has me pumped , right back to your breakdown as only 5 mins into it so far and your breakdowns are the best BTW
It definitely is. His portrayal of the joker made him absolutely mainstream and known to the average people more, and he did in the best way possible. I think if heath was alive he’d be rooting for Joaquin to do just as amazing, maybe even better.
Do you think if ledger was still alive yet had the same success as he has with his joker performance that he’d be in more movies like the dark knight rises etc. or the dark knight movies would just be the beginning of the dceu ?
Probably couldn't ask for a better breakdown of this trailer. Got me even more hyped cause I see how invested you are in it as well. Thank you and keep being awesome :)
Thank you so much for this shot by shot with the references to Chaplin and Taxi Driver. And I know you are a true DC fan because you got emotional at the end of the trailer. The first time I watched it, a tear rolled down my eyes. Amazing trailer and thanks again Grace. You rock! ❤
There's so many scenes that could make for potential tearjerker moments because of how amazingly relatable Arthur's life is. How many people do you know that just beaten by life every day? Friends? Parents? Random people you walk by every day? Of course he dances down the steps during his descent into madness. It's the "escape exit" we all occasionally fantasize about taking, but don't.
I read once that a good critic expands an art piece. This is exactly what you did, Grace . I enjoy this trailer much more now after your review. Cheers.
I really love your videos grace! I know I keep saying that, and...it’s probably getting creepy at this point lol...but your so good at explaining the business part of Hollywood along with the art, and I love it!
That scene in the bar when he forces a laugh reminded me of The Shinning, not only the background but also he looks a lot like Jack Nicholson did in that film. This is such a pleasant surprise!
DC needs to take this film as it's the benchmark and apply this darker and distinctive style to their films from here on out. This feels like the caliber of film that DC could and should have been making all along. DCcomics and characters and character origin storylines have always been darker, tragic and far more complex in nature than Marvel comics and characters. So I really hope that the studio keeps going down this kind of darker, twisted and more mature path when it comes to storytelling because that's what will set it apart from Marvel's lighter, brighter and more ensemble-based films. This is honestly the first time I have genuinely looked forward to seeing a DC film in the cinema since the trailer came out for Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' and I hope that continues for future DC film projects.
Like the trailer I feel this trailer breakdown also should win a Oscar. I was so lost in the explanations I didn't realized that I am thristy and I need to drink a glass of water😂 Amazing work @Grace and well its time to put a smiling face 🎭
Y'know when I was a boy a friend of mine's father told me "Be happy you have no father. son because if you did you would love him too much and the world would take that as incest or obsessive control. Whatever is in their sick little minds will come out. Because the only thing the average person loves more than themselves is some one who is selfish, but appears menially altruistic, just enough to be called "nice" but not too much to be called "great ". that son would be a challenge and challenges have become obsolete nowadays." This is not intended as an insult, but character or not perhaps you should give a little more respect to a man willing to sacrifice himself for his mother. Without trying to conjecture about imaginary themes of incest that are not there.
There's nothing like watching you talk about this stuff, I can feel your love for cinema and for comics as you speak. How you get ore and more excited and looks as the camera almost as if we are there to get excited along with you. You're amazing Grace. Thanks for the content.
When he is going up the stairs as Arthur he is struggling. Coming down the stairs as Joker he is alive.
Love it. I really want this to be good, wish it was out in like a few days though 😭😅
Aw man, beat me to it 😂
I saw that too, the way the trailer goes from Arthur to Joker is just beatiful
Im glad im not the only one that caught that!
I would also say the path to conformity and acceptance is a climb
However insanity is always a descent
The imagery is staggering+
I caught that symbolism as well. The staircase is his struggle with life. We see Arthur going up this long, steep set of stair that must be difficult to climb. But when we see him as Joker, he's not just going down those stairs, he's dancing down them. Life is much easier and enjoyable for him when he becomes Joker. He's no longer struggling. He's free.
I can not understand why so many reactors do not understand that he is probably helping his mother because she is not well in some way. That is not weird, I would hope most people would do this for their aging parents I know I would.
Yeah, i'm pretty surprised that none can see that she's probably got Alzheimer's or something. What is amazing about these scenes, is you can see the under layer of him cracking. Especially in the bath scene, the way he throws the water in her face, he's palming it off as a game, but there's some definite mania involved in that scene. I would say that we are going to see that there is some residual resentment towards his mother that is leading to his depression as well.
That's what I took from it. He's probably a lonely guy who has to take care of his sick mother. She's one of the few connections to humanity he has. And he spends so much time doing that, he has to settle for crap jobs like twirling signs on the dirty, dangerous Gotham streets, and has a hard time even going on a date.

Yeah, that's how I interpreted the scene as well.
more look like she is blind
The trailer felt like a Joker movie, not a comic book film if you get what I mean.
finally we get a character study film of joker & its looking very promising
I think you mean it doesn't feel like an MCU or DCEU movie. Comic books are as diverse in their content and presentation as films; film's aren't just summer blockbuster MCU movies.
I'm not a fan of the MCU or DCEU so I'm very happy with this.
Doc watchmen type movies are the best
@@diesenutss Yeah, I think so. It feels like Logan, a movie that's about a character who is not necessarily a comic book character but just happens to be one.
The fact that you sound pretty emotional in this shot by shot speaks to the potential of this movie I think
agreed. watched the trailer before this. liked it, personally. in a different way. wasn't sure how others received it though. only took a few seconds of this video to know.

His laugh is as iconic as the roar from Jurassic Park. Just CHILLS
That laugh was weak His whole joker is crappy he just sounds like Joaquin Phoenix he didn't transform like Heath At all.
Cmayja look either way this will be an interesting movie for sure. And yes I agree Heath has a different laugh but Joaquin’s laugh is close to Mark Hamil. U know in the Arkham games and animated series
My name is Steve Rogers not really Hamill & the other one has them beat
At what point in TDK did Ledger transform? What comic or animated series adaptation was his Joker based on? Was never a fan of that take. This one here though is pretty dam frightening. The Laugh, is perfect.
No hate heath ledger is very dear to me and so is his joker but ive never been a fan of his laugh,, sounds too forced to me
So many beautiful shots in this trailer. PERFECT 😍
Exactly
Everyone's like "yay, Captain Marvel" and "yay, Avengers Endgame". But now I'm like; forget that crap. Joker is *the* movie to see this year.
You can see more than one movie a year, y'know.
i am excited about star wars episode 9
I tend to watch more than one superhero movie. It’s okay to like them all, or one of them, or none of them
The way he says "what" just has so much personality and menace to it
I fully respect Marvel's achievement however the more distinctive creative visions of DC movies is something I really enjoy
Indeed, it's why it's silly how hard they chased Marvels format. They're better suited to these no connected stories, saying that Logan was good. marvel have some interesting characters that would really suit a serious 1 off r rated tale

@@martyvenkman860 i am rooting the darker & more mature tone of DC. Though because of that reason, it wont be as popular.
Marty Venkman I’ve always loved the realism/cinema roots
I honestly didn't think Todd Phillips could pull it off, but God damn! This is amazing! Already looks like a genuine Oscar contender!
Hopefully the writing is, because if it is. This is going to be good
I always thought giving Joker a name would ruin part of the mystery, but I think Arthur Fleck works so well for some reason.
I agree 100% with what u said about others playing a version of the joker but this feels like he is the joker.
The elevator scene seemed to me like a metaphor
Inside hes screaming, and hes doing his best to keep the demons at bay
zanderman15
Wow I never thought of that!
Exactly what he has written in his diary.
It s so perfectly unhinged. If the film is as good as this trailer we could be looking at a masterpiece
I thought that the shot of him in the elevator was particularly interesting. to me, i kind of thought it was the duality his mind. he, himself, is trying to keep his feelings contained, but the patient that's thrashing around and losing it is his internal mindset. the other two men, to me, represent the fact that no one's doing anything in spite of another person's obvious pain. maybe i'm just reading too much into it XD... anyway, i love your videos, Grace!!
For sure. I saw the thrashing as a visual of what's going on in Joker's head
I feel like a movie like this is designed to be read into a lot, it's absolutely drenched in cinematic metaphor.
That was actually pretty deep. Wow!
No you're not reading too much into it; you nailed it brilliantly. Fantastic!
And his clenched fists really sell it. You can see his anger and frustration.
Grace’s Shot by Shots always make me 10 times more excited for the movie... this isn’t no exception!
Can’t wait for this!
I can see it getting an Oscar nomination for Musical Score and/or Cinematography!
Maybe even a WIN!
Maybe even a nomination for Joaquin Pheonix
It could be 2019 Bohemian Rhapsody, without the directorial mess
A M ehhh maybe?
Stop being modest. BEST ACTOR nom.

Brilliant!!!
This analysis blew my mind made me appreciate this movie so MUCH. Thanks Grace
the shot of him getting hit by the car is amazing, also has the best visual design of any live action joker

Batman will always be the best comic book character because of the greatness of his villains... No hero has as many great counterparts as Batman, they just need to be exploited.... And he has the best villain ever
Todd Phillips did this?! Wow, I'm surprised. The movie looks gorgeous and it looks late 70s, early 80s to me.
I have started to really appreciate the "EVERYTHING MUST GO" sign.

Speaking of Taxi Driver, Martin Scorsese should direct a DCEU film.
I would have him to direct the Batman movie instead of Reeves. We coyld have a Goodfellas or Departedtype of story with Falcone or Penguin.
He is involved in the jocker movie that is why you see his touch in this movie trailer.
"What if who you are is mentally ill?"
I'll have to ask my Doctor about that one today.
Yeah, to me this movie looks like the 1970's. I always thought Joaquin Phoenix looked similar to Vincent Gallo.
I agree w most everything with the exception of you insinuating there could be an inappropriate relationship between him and his mother. For me, it clearly comes across a boy/man who loves his mother so much because they’ve been through a lot together.

Thank you so much for this shot by shot with the references to Chaplin and Taxi Driver. And I know you are a true DC fan because you got emotional at the end of the trailer. The first time I watched it, a tear rolled down my eyes. Amazing trailer and thanks again Grace. You rock! ❤
Haha Grace never missing a opportunity to rep for New York
Can't wait for this movie, it's genuinely shocked me how good this looks
There's so many scenes that could make for potential tearjerker moments because of how amazingly relatable Arthur's life is. How many people do you know that just beaten by life every day? Friends? Parents? Random people you walk by every day? Of course he dances down the steps during his descent into madness. It's the "escape exit" we all occasionally fantasize about taking, but don't.
Have been refreshing in anticipation for your shot by shot, Grace! Also trades are noting a Taxi Driver comparison after your live reaction.
I read once that a good critic expands an art piece. This is exactly what you did, Grace . I enjoy this trailer much more now after your review. Cheers.
The artistic qualities are very high and so should make for a lifelong rewatchable film.
Based on what I've seen from the other reviewers of this trailer, you were the one to notice that the Joker finally smiled at the end.
DC has the most interesting vilains
Agreed, and they have the most source material.
root8ble Explain Thanos?
@@rhysstromberg2778 You really think Thanos is more interesting than DC villains? The only Marvel villain that is comparable to DC is Magneto.
best comic stories
You can't get this level of commentary anywhere else. Great job.!!
Joaquin and Batffleck would be so good together
Unfortunately that ship has sailed on us but yeah I agree 100% I thought affect was a great batman and these 2 together would be incredible
coolcats036 maybe after the mat reeves origins we can get this joker to be the ‘original’ joker in Batflecks continuity/rogue gallery
Thanks for another great shot-by-shot, Grace!
I really love your videos grace! I know I keep saying that, and...it’s probably getting creepy at this point lol...but your so good at explaining the business part of Hollywood along with the art, and I love it!
That scene in the bar when he forces a laugh reminded me of The Shinning, not only the background but also he looks a lot like Jack Nicholson did in that film. This is such a pleasant surprise!
DC needs to take this film as it's the benchmark and apply this darker and distinctive style to their films from here on out. This feels like the caliber of film that DC could and should have been making all along. DCcomics and characters and character origin storylines have always been darker, tragic and far more complex in nature than Marvel comics and characters.
So I really hope that the studio keeps going down this kind of darker, twisted and more mature path when it comes to storytelling because that's what will set it apart from Marvel's lighter, brighter and more ensemble-based films.
This is honestly the first time I have genuinely looked forward to seeing a DC film in the cinema since the trailer came out for Nolan's 'The Dark Knight' and I hope that continues for future DC film projects.
Like the trailer I feel this trailer breakdown also should win a Oscar. I was so lost in the explanations I didn't realized that I am thristy and I need to drink a glass of water😂 Amazing work @Grace and well its time to put a smiling face 🎭
I was super skeptical of this movie, but the trailer has turned me around 180 degrees. Can't wait to see it.
I feel the same
such an artistically shot trailer, I really can't wait for this
It just looks amazing. Never thought a joker trailer would give me the chills.
Y'know when I was a boy a friend of mine's father told me "Be happy you have no father. son because if you did you would love him too much and the world would take that as incest or obsessive control. Whatever is in their sick little minds will come out. Because the only thing the average person loves more than themselves is some one who is selfish, but appears menially altruistic, just enough to be called "nice" but not too much to be called "great ". that son would be a challenge and challenges have become obsolete nowadays."
This is not intended as an insult, but character or not perhaps you should give a little more respect to a man willing to sacrifice himself for his mother. Without trying to conjecture about imaginary themes of incest that are not there.
great breakdown. this will probably be my favorite movie of 2019 if it lives up to the trailer.
There's nothing like watching you talk about this stuff, I can feel your love for cinema and for comics as you speak. How you get ore and more excited and looks as the camera almost as if we are there to get excited along with you. You're amazing Grace. Thanks for the content.
