Aaron Lane 😂😂😂😂 I love it. It’s totally true. The joker is awesome. I love how comical this is: ‘what happened? I mean did your balls drop off?’ ‘I know why you choose to have your ‘group therapy sessions’ in broad daylight. So clever and awesome
The way Ledger emphasized the "T" in the "I'm noT" response to being called crazy, along with the eye twitches and half blinks is what made him a legendary actor in this iconic role
It ties in beautifully to his entire point in the movie, that anyone can be turned, can be deemed “crazy” - they just need a little push. And I haven’t seen this ever being mentioned, but I think the Joker doesn’t want to be alone(Batman even tells him he is at the end). He doesn’t like the idea of people potentially being more like Batman than people being more like him, so he goes to great lengths to prove that they are more like him, and when he’s proven to be wrong at the end just look at the sadness and disappointment in his face
C H I L L exactly. i wonder what happened in his past to trigger his defensive reaction. he’s clearly been called crazy before and it deeply affects him psychologically
gwp4eva I’m thinking that him being called “crazy” is something from his past or he’s just tired of being called crazy by everyone and gets annoyed when someone says it
@Edwin Well it's not really true, he got paid for what he's good at. What he did with his money is up to him, some people burn their money with drugs, some people burn their money with debt, he burned his money with gas.
@Edwin The joker demands half of their money to ''kill the batman'' not because he wants money, but because by taking their money and destroying it, he weakens them, making it easier to take over. Joker used it as a means to an end, because his ultimate goal (he tells this to batman) is to literally play this ''game'' with batman for forever, or until Batman finally breaks his only rule. His sole purpose is to push Batman right up to the edge, and test him at every turn. He gets the mob on his side by saying he will kill Batman, but never has the intention to.
@@GMthunderbreak Yeah it's not true. He just killed a guy 2 mins ago with his _"Magic Trick"._ Also he says *"We kill The Batman."* But when he met Batman he says: "I don't want to kill you. What would I do without you?" th-cam.com/video/jane6C4rIwc/w-d-xo.htmlm5s
By doing that Heath did a fantastic job of giving the audience an extra dimension, and view into the Jokers backstory and inner psychology of the character. I'm sure I won't see a better portrayal of the Joker in my lifetime.
@@MrDemoncrusher You did. Phoenix was better than Heath but in a far more subtle way. Saying that, I couldn't see Arthur Fleck becoming this guy, more a child-like and extremely creepy dude, more like a Son of Sam than a political terrorist. I get you though, this incarnation of 'psycho rookie' Joker is disturbing as hell. This was a full-blown horror movie. Phoenix was the scariest Joker by far though, simply because it's as real as it gets.
How, it’s still corny? He did a great job acting but the others bring it down. The acting and writing in this scene is atrocious. Quit giving it a pass based on Christopher Nolan and the late Ledger. I prefer the comic book style of Batman and Batman Returns.
@@nyk3334 the writing in this scene isn't bad. the acting is bad on michael jai whites' behalf. Would you prefer the script for this scene to have over the top cringey dialogue like in comic books? maybe some kachows?
Yes The Joker Is The Invisibele Dude From Bataman Dark Night He Is My Favorite Villain From The Top Because He Is A Very Funny Helerious Dude Not Real That Doesn’t Exist In Real Life
@@alexbrasinha yes alexandre. but i think there is not the joker. but someone that has his skillset. (in some off the books millitary something) . even if he is not real, the concept of him scares me😂
I just realized that there were metal detectors and guards at 0:13 yet Joker completely walked into the room unopposed without them going off despite carrying a jacket full of hand grenades🃏
All time classic introduction. All time classic line. All time classic scene. All time classic roll. All time classic movie. 2nd best line was " Did your balls drop off? Huh?" 1st time ever the Best Actor Oscar was awarded in absentia. And he earned it.
The CASUAL dismissal of a threat upon his life This guy literally just couldn't care less. A psychopath with no moral constrictions or sympathetic forethought; just a dog chasing a car And Gambol actually thought he could threaten this dog... lul
2:40 i love that he loses his train of thought after the freak comment. it's like in that exact moment he decided "ok, i'm killing this guy" and took a few seconds to think of his whole plan to kill him, and then he comes back to and tries to remember what he was saying "...a guy like me..."
His ticks. His intonations. His pauses and side glances. Truly a mesmerizing and amazing performance and totally worthy of that Oscar he won posthumously.
The way he kicks the door open at the end is so cool. The Joker was amazing in this. He was somehow funny, smart, crazy, and scary all at the same time.
Yeah I was thinking that. He switches effortlessly between being intimidating, intelligent, and comical. Shuffling off backwards and kicking the door to me seemed kinda funny after the seriousness of threatening a room of Mafia lords.
Always thought that. Seeing it that night in the theatre, the way he moved in those seconds combined with the distance vs the way the makeup made him look at that distance. Creepy as all heck.
Joker's reaction after the guy says "You're crazy" is exactly why Ledger won that Oscar. The calm rage, the eye twitch, the subtlety in how much he hates being called crazy. So good.
I thought he loves being seen as a madman? He calls himself a freak/outcast when telling Batman “they’ll cast you out like a leper. You’re just like Me!”
@@lihclore What are you talking about “alternative”? I was just defining what the quote means. Why are you even interested in mine own political ideology? You know you’re walking in a minefield there.
It's crazy how, in the context of the story, Joker never meant "kill the Batman" as in actually ending the man's life. He meant kill his image and his reputation. And Joker actually succeeds at doing just that.
This is why Heaths Joker will always be superior to any other depictions of the Joker including Joaquin Phoenix‘s. Heath’s Joker is always several steps ahead of Batman and the police and has multiple contingencies to ensure his plane work. He is a criminal genius and not just a mentally ill person driven to crime by victimisation. He is truly the crown prince of crime.
@@mdgcwood you have to admit tho that joaquin almost perfectly depicted a lonely man with social anxiety and disorders and they were realistic with his boundaries
@@bailey4273 yes he definitely did! I like that movie, the aesthetics of the old Gotham city and his intense acting were incredible!!! I just didn’t think the character was in keeping with the Joker.. The Joker in my mind is a genius. A demented, homicidal, extremely dangerous Genius who is capable of detailed and elaborate strategies and plans. Phoenix’s depiction of the Joker was demented and frightening but he didn’t seem smart enough to achieve complex plans that would outwit Batman and the police. He was was a victim of mental illness and an uncaring society with inadequate health care, which made him a sociopath and that didn’t mesh with the idea that the Joker should be an insane unstoppable force of chaos… I loved how articulate Heath’s Joker was “I’m not a monster, I’m just ahead of the curve” frightening.
I love how he literally assaults one of the guards by shoving a pencil in his eye/head, and the russian dude literally looks like ”that’s a pretty cool trick actually!”
And we didnt even get to see his trick. He was all set up for a little magic to lighten the mood and then tragedy strikes. That's why you dont horseplay in the office. Somebody could get an eye put out. He had even promised to show how it was done.
I was the only person in a packed theater that laughed at that part and it was a loud laugh and I looked around me and I was like "really, nothing?" Lol. I remember that pretty well.
"how about a magic trick?....we're gonna make capitalism, disappear....." *spontaneously starts rebuilding the soviet union* "TADA! it's, it's....gone." "if it's so simple, why haven't you done it?" "we don't say _you,_ we say _we."_ "how much you want?" "uh... as much as the government dictates.." *laughter* "you're crazy!" "I am....yes, I am....."
The script in this movie is impeccable. It's written like a slick crime film and not a superhero flick. Small touches like Joker calling Lau "the television" are just brilliant.
@@axelramirez6730 paid off? He was burnt alive on a giant stack of money after getting himself kidnapped in his own building within a month. Lao fucked up badly.
“And btw… the suit it wasnt cheap. You outta know you bought it.” Something about that line just makes me go wow everytime. This performance will never be matched.
The little clicking sound he makes between "a guy like me....look listen" and "I know why you choose to have...." is an epic rarely paid attention to addition to the character. All the little sounds and ticks that were added into the proformance, brought the character to life. Ledger truely was the Joker
"You're crazy." "I'm not." He responds so quickly and humourlessly there. I'm actually glad that his sensitivity to being called crazy or a freak was never important to the plot. It's just a cool detail for a cool character.
Always loved that exchange. Gives a human temper to the imperviousness he otherwise exudes here. As bad as it'd be to have someone this fearless and capable as an enemy, having him personally affronted by you is yet worse. 😆 Even though Gambol is technically killed out of frame, the viewer can infer Joker might've gashed him apart with a bit more venom than his usual "didn't even look at 'em" dispatchings.
@@BIL0471 - killed out of frame? That makes sense then because what I saw is joker having a knife to Gambol's mouth and then his back where he was limp and lifeless and slouched to the ground. Thought they cut out a scene or something
Yeah, that's exactly how they shot it. Knife in mouth, cut (bwahaha!) to terrified underling, "Why so serious?" Then musical sting while underling recoils in horror at the unseen butchery, then Gambol slumping to the floor. TDK is pretty elusive with its hardest violence, I didn't even remember Joker stabbing those two guys to lever himself up off the pool table right before, until rewatching the clip.
@Brayan Carmona Are you serious? He kills people because he wants to mess with the natural order of things. This version of the Joker is an anarchistic madman, his goal is to destroy the foundations of society so that people can all be who they really are. Remove the rules and laws. Every man for himself, and dog eat dog. He’s not fighting for a greater good. He’s fighting to create a world without structure or governing bodies. A world as crazy and unpredictable as himself.
The best part of this is how on a rewatch you remember the Joker's interrogation with Batman, where he laughs heartily at the idea of ever killing him and says he would never want such a thing. The entire time he never intended to kill Batman. He was playing the Mob from every single angle.
Which is why he is Batman archenemy. There is nothing joker won't do and his psychotic unpredictability is what makes it so hard for batman to stop him. Usually batman can figure out what a villain is after, their goals and wants and then use that information to stop them but with the joker he just enjoys chaos. It's impossible to figure out what he is after in life.
I think it’s because he’s extremely realistic. The joker could literally put anyone on their ass if he wanted to, with how much of a genius he actually is. A lot of the shit we saw in this movie proved that he is ungodly intelligent, and if he didn’t want to go after his beliefs he could be the most successful criminal on earth.
heard this about him so it's an urban legend, heard Liberace in his older age would pay for younger men to get plastic surgery to look like him before he would have sex with them. do with that possible fact or fiction what you will.
Exactly, Even when he says we kill the batman and he wants half everyone laughs at him except the Russian. You can always make more money but without dealing with the actual problem then it'll cost you everything, Even your freedom. The Russian knows this.
"Oh, and, by the way, the suit? It wasn't cheap. You oughta know, you bought it," is one of the most brilliantly delivered lines in a film full of brilliant lines
Notice how the Joker suddenly gets serious when he's called 'a freak' or 'crazy'. He doesn't reply with a witty one liner or a chilling sentence, instead he seems... insecure. That is an amazing detail added by Nolan to the character: he doesn't like being called those things because that is all he was called throughout his life, and he's spent his whole life trying to prove them wrong.
cause he’s insecure in his misanthropy, he wants people to take it seriously and he wants to convince himself and others that there’s no hope anymore. All that gets thrown out the window if he’s just some loon, which he kind of is.
That's not on Nolan. That is all Ledger. If you take the time to read the screenplay for the movie, it never states that Ledger should respond differently to that type of comment. It only states that he says "No...I'm not. I'm not..." That is acting, and that acting is the reason Ledger was awarded an Oscar for his performance. The second ever given to an actor.
I love how the one mob boss doesn’t flinch or laugh at all like everyone else when Joker says he wants half. Like it’s actually a realistic and worth it option to him to be rid of the bat.
Got damn the Joker is just a masterfully written character. He never wanted to physically kill Batman, just the idea of him. And he knew the mob would misunderstand his request.
I always thought that at first he wanted to kill him just for the challenge of it and he prolly thought of him as a nuisance, then he changed his mind cus they caused so much chaos in their conflicts.
Killing that idea would've destroyed the city faster than anything else, the joker was like the devil and he knew how to cause real damage and the Batman eventually understood that the joker is sicker than 'someone who just wants to watch the world burn'.
@redbandit11 definitely joker. He would just fucking bomb John wick or run him over with a fucking tank while firing an RPG and even if he fails he would be wearing a suicide bomb vest just so that if he goes down, the enemy goes down with him
I love how the Russian guy is always regarding The Joker seriously. Like most of the men in the room laugh The Joker off or view him with disbelief but the Russian guy doesnt show anything other than genuine interest in what the Joker wants and is capable of. It makes sense when you consider what The Joker has done here too, he's stolen from them successfully, walks into their secret meeting without incident, and offers to solve their problem. He's already shown them what kind of power he has, but only rhe Russian guy sees it.
Yeah the Russian guy knows the Joker not only has massive balls but gets results, unfortunately he did not realize the Joker himself does not overly care about money thus there if no real want to control him as the one thing he wants Chaos is not something they can leverage to control him
@@starfishandroid Okay but literally everything else I said was true from his POV the Joker is a mercenary/opportunist the thought of him being an agent of chaos that cannot be bribed/reasoned with never occurred to him
In addition, the African-American is the one who has the most anger towards him because they have killed his right-hand man or bodyguard, simply to make his presentation with a joke, killing him in an instant. "my boy" implies that although for us we see him in a few seconds, for him he was a valuable man who deserved to be next to a mob boss.
@@ecndwildlife6327 To be fair he clearly was the least willing to work with the joker and it was self defense he thought the joker really was dicking around about to perform a magic trick
Which joker origin story do you like better ? This joker: A crazy guy wearing face paint. Or do you prefer the joker from the 1989 Batman movie who was dropped in acid and had his skin bleached white? (Who actually wears makeup/paint to make himself look like a normal skin color.)
That line was Improvised. Heath was supposed to say "I'll steal more", but Heath didn't like it and changed it to...."Yeah". During Filming, they didn't realize he had changed it until the entire scene was shot. When Nolan Watched it Back, he Loved it, and Kept it.
I love The Russian mobster’s expression after the joker drilled a pencil through the dude’s head... He looks genuinely impressed, somewhat frightened, and seems to be the only one taking him seriously.
That pencil trick gave him not only instant street cred, but Status...that's the kind of story becomes urban legend ("...and the pencil did disappear! Along with the guy! Dis-speared it in his eye!")
I dont really see how the pencil trick worked tbh. a no.2 pencil, with eraser up? Some... welp[!] Most bullets (via handguns) have a hard time piercing bone.
"you see.. a guy.. like me" "a freak!" aa... ee.... thats.. an expression of him supressing his anger, while trying to get back to what he was saying after being interrupted by an insult. its actually quite a masterpiece in my opinion.
@@vietle8156 because Joker truly believes that he's the actually sane person in, well, all of the World. He looks to these mafia men as outcasts that could've been better at what they do, and to receive such words from them, it's offensive to Joker.
The quick one second scene of a metal detector being used on them all and then the joker walks in with multiple explosives is a masterclass of build and pay off that your brain doesn’t even recognise on first watch
It sounds like you're referring to a situation where someone might say "You're crazy," and the response is "I'm not crazy," followed by a serious stare to emphasize their seriousness or intent. This exchange suggests a tense or confrontational moment where one person is asserting their sanity or credibility.
I remember seeing this in theaters. After the Joker kicked the door open and left, people in the theater were murmuring and some were chucking in a anxious way. Ledger’s performance was so raw and unnerving the audience didn’t know whether to laugh or take it serious or what. What a phenomenal piece of acting.
One of the reasons I liked Ledger's performance so much is how "funny" he was with his dark humor. He told them he paid for it with their money. He answered a rhetorical question. And he made a pun when he revealed the grenades. He was a fantastic Joker.
Soleyman Amiri Cringe. Things not going well for you, bud? Gotta try and pick fights over the Internet? Good luck to you on that and future endeavours.
Whats great about HL performance is that when he was announced to play the joker, everyone including me, was pretty much in disbelief. At this time in his career although had done a number of movies, he was pretty much known as First Knight and Brokeback Mountain. Im so glad we were all wrong about him. His oscar is truely earned and its a terrible shame he wasnt around to recieve it.
@OG-Clapzz He did that deliberately on purpose! That's his mark! He's unreachable but will be there whenever you call! Think of the devil and he appears kinda!
I'm effng amazed on how I cannot see an ounce of *Heath Ledger on this character. It's like Heathe left the body, and an unhinged maniac took over his physical form.

He doesn’t like the idea of people potentially being more like Batman than people being more like him, so he goes to great lengths to prove that they are more like him, and when he’s proven to be wrong at the end just look at the sadness and disappointment in his face
Ironically, the Joker can't take a joke. Brilliant characterization
@@wDoucheCanoe thats a great observation that i never really made even after my 7th time watching this master piece

it’s interesting how he genuinely gets defensive when called ‘crazy’
I'm noTTT *licks lips*
Im pretty sure he got really deep into this role and actually turned a little crazy
Because in his point of view, he isn’t
C H I L L exactly. i wonder what happened in his past to trigger his defensive reaction. he’s clearly been called crazy before and it deeply affects him psychologically
gwp4eva I’m thinking that him being called “crazy” is something from his past or he’s just tired of being called crazy by everyone and gets annoyed when someone says it

“If you’re good at something, never do it for free.”
They call him crazy, meanwhile he’s dropping absolute solid gold BARS.
@Edwin Well it's not really true, he got paid for what he's good at. What he did with his money is up to him, some people burn their money with drugs, some people burn their money with debt, he burned his money with gas.
Sometimes my boss doesn't understand it 😅
@Edwin The joker demands half of their money to ''kill the batman'' not because he wants money, but because by taking their money and destroying it, he weakens them, making it easier to take over. Joker used it as a means to an end, because his ultimate goal (he tells this to batman) is to literally play this ''game'' with batman for forever, or until Batman finally breaks his only rule. His sole purpose is to push Batman right up to the edge, and test him at every turn. He gets the mob on his side by saying he will kill Batman, but never has the intention to.
@@GMthunderbreak Yeah it's not true. He just killed a guy 2 mins ago with his _"Magic Trick"._

By doing that Heath did a fantastic job of giving the audience an extra dimension, and view into the Jokers backstory and inner psychology of the character. I'm sure I won't see a better portrayal of the Joker in my lifetime.

@@GoddessOfMoon616 yes I know this
It's crazy how, in the context of the story, Joker never meant "kill the Batman" as in actually ending the man's life. He meant kill his image and his reputation. And Joker actually succeeds at doing just that.
This is why Heaths Joker will always be superior to any other depictions of the Joker including Joaquin Phoenix‘s. Heath’s Joker is always several steps ahead of Batman and the police and has multiple contingencies to ensure his plane work. He is a criminal genius and not just a mentally ill person driven to crime by victimisation.
He is truly the crown prince of crime.
@@mdgcwood you have to admit tho that joaquin almost perfectly depicted a lonely man with social anxiety and disorders and they were realistic with his boundaries
@@bailey4273 yes he definitely did! I like that movie, the aesthetics of the old Gotham city and his intense acting were incredible!!!
I just didn’t think the character was in keeping with the Joker..
The Joker in my mind is a genius. A demented, homicidal, extremely dangerous Genius who is capable of detailed and elaborate strategies and plans.
Phoenix’s depiction of the Joker was demented and frightening but he didn’t seem smart enough to achieve complex plans that would outwit Batman and the police. He was was a victim of mental illness and an uncaring society with inadequate health care, which made him a sociopath and that didn’t mesh with the idea that the Joker should be an insane unstoppable force of chaos… I loved how articulate Heath’s Joker was “I’m not a monster, I’m just ahead of the curve” frightening.

Joaquin Phoenix's Joker is aimed at more mature audiences than Ledger's Joker
He wants half
he zinged him good lol
The little clicking sound he makes between "a guy like me....look listen" and "I know why you choose to have...." is an epic rarely paid attention to addition to the character. All the little sounds and ticks that were added into the proformance, brought the character to life. Ledger truely was the Joker
"You're crazy."
"I'm not."
He responds so quickly and humourlessly there. I'm actually glad that his sensitivity to being called crazy or a freak was never important to the plot. It's just a cool detail for a cool character.
Always loved that exchange. Gives a human temper to the imperviousness he otherwise exudes here. As bad as it'd be to have someone this fearless and capable as an enemy, having him personally affronted by you is yet worse. 😆 Even though Gambol is technically killed out of frame, the viewer can infer Joker might've gashed him apart with a bit more venom than his usual "didn't even look at 'em" dispatchings.
It kinda is though? He doesn't think he is crazy because he thinks he's just ahead of the curve.
Also the " you think you can just steal from us?" And his simple quick "yeah" cool intro scene
@@BIL0471 - killed out of frame? That makes sense then because what I saw is joker having a knife to Gambol's mouth and then his back where he was limp and lifeless and slouched to the ground. Thought they cut out a scene or something
Yeah, that's exactly how they shot it. Knife in mouth, cut (bwahaha!) to terrified underling, "Why so serious?" Then musical sting while underling recoils in horror at the unseen butchery, then Gambol slumping to the floor. TDK is pretty elusive with its hardest violence, I didn't even remember Joker stabbing those two guys to lever himself up off the pool table right before, until rewatching the clip.
The look on Maroni's face while the Joker tells them to give him a call is classic.

@Brayan Carmona he isnt doing things for the better good you edgelord
@Brayan Carmona He kills shitloads of innocents.
@Brayan Carmona Are you serious? He kills people because he wants to mess with the natural order of things. This version of the Joker is an anarchistic madman, his goal is to destroy the foundations of society so that people can all be who they really are. Remove the rules and laws. Every man for himself, and dog eat dog. He’s not fighting for a greater good. He’s fighting to create a world without structure or governing bodies. A world as crazy and unpredictable as himself.
@@AesirUnlimited Some people think a world without rules is a good thing. Survival of the fittest. Natural order.

Joker is the rare villian that is actually, legitimately scary. You just never know what he's gonna do next.
Which is why he is Batman archenemy. There is nothing joker won't do and his psychotic unpredictability is what makes it so hard for batman to stop him. Usually batman can figure out what a villain is after, their goals and wants and then use that information to stop them but with the joker he just enjoys chaos. It's impossible to figure out what he is after in life.
I think it’s because he’s extremely realistic. The joker could literally put anyone on their ass if he wanted to, with how much of a genius he actually is. A lot of the shit we saw in this movie proved that he is ungodly intelligent, and if he didn’t want to go after his beliefs he could be the most successful criminal on earth.
CORRECTION : Heath Ledger's Joker is a rare villain.

Very true. He owns this movie.
The unknown factor of Heath Ledger
And how many of us hoped that he'd be victorious at the end...
His iteration of the Joker was just charming as hell. There's no way you can't like it.
Did you know that Heath accepted to be possessed by satan despite the warnings of his family? Even Christian Bale mentioned that.
Notice how the Joker suddenly gets serious when he's called 'a freak' or 'crazy'. He doesn't reply with a witty one liner or a chilling sentence, instead he seems... insecure. That is an amazing detail added by Nolan to the character: he doesn't like being called those things because that is all he was called throughout his life, and he's spent his whole life trying to prove them wrong.
cause he’s insecure in his misanthropy, he wants people to take it seriously and he wants to convince himself and others that there’s no hope anymore. All that gets thrown out the window if he’s just some loon, which he kind of is.
That's not on Nolan. That is all Ledger. If you take the time to read the screenplay for the movie, it never states that Ledger should respond differently to that type of comment. It only states that he says "No...I'm not. I'm not..."
That is acting, and that acting is the reason Ledger was awarded an Oscar for his performance. The second ever given to an actor.
It didn't seem like insecurity; it seemed like "Oh, great, now he's going to do something dangerous."
Says who?
well, if a person on the train, or sitting next to me talked, moved and acted like him, i would think he has some serious mental disabilities.
“You’re crazy”
“I’m not. No, I’m not”
And just like that he convinced everyone in the room that he is, in fact, not crazy
I just like the part were he say's "Why don't you give me a call when you decide to start taking things a little more seriously" ... :)~

Got damn the Joker is just a masterfully written character. He never wanted to physically kill Batman, just the idea of him. And he knew the mob would misunderstand his request.
perfectly said man, that’s something i never understood how he would say “kill the batman” but then say “i don’t wanna kill you” but now i get it
I always thought that at first he wanted to kill him just for the challenge of it and he prolly thought of him as a nuisance, then he changed his mind cus they caused so much chaos in their conflicts.
He wanted to “kill the batman”, not the man who was the batman
That’s why he killed the imposter! God this movie has so many layers
Killing that idea would've destroyed the city faster than anything else, the joker was like the devil and he knew how to cause real damage and the Batman eventually understood that the joker is sicker than 'someone who just wants to watch the world burn'.

"my boy" implies that although for us we see him in a few seconds, for him he was a valuable man who deserved to be next to a mob boss.
@@ecndwildlife6327 To be fair he clearly was the least willing to work with the joker and it was self defense he thought the joker really was dicking around about to perform a magic trick
Imagine an actual clown saying that;
"Give me a call when you take things a little more serious."
So he have good jokes after all
"here's my card." I love the fact that he just left a joker playing card.
Like on a telephone call ? I'm not sure how to handle that.
I guess I could reply, "No, I like things a little fuzzy. I have all my life."
Which joker origin story do you like better ? This joker: A crazy guy wearing face paint. Or do you prefer the joker from the 1989 Batman movie who was dropped in acid and had his skin bleached white? (Who actually wears makeup/paint to make himself look like a normal skin color.)
@@taekwondotime probably the insane one. The one dumped in acid is kinda silly
Respect to the Russian guy. He's the only one taking Joker seriously and doesn't laugh with the rest or make faces.
because the russians don’t give a fuck ‼️
Of course then he gets burned alive by the Joker later on, so it didn't work out so good for him either.
@@nathanniesche6380 Nah, that was Lao. The Russian was cut up and fed to his own dogs.
He's Chechen, not Russian...
Russians are about business
"You think you can just steal from us and walk away?"
Joker: "Yeah"
Greatest line ever! Heath Ledger did a great job portraying this character.
sounds just like the government there. 🙃
@z yeah
@@FootballProdigy121 you stole that reply from me...
I went to see the midnight showing of this movie. That got one of the the biggest laughs.
That line was Improvised. Heath was supposed to say "I'll steal more", but Heath didn't like it and changed it to...."Yeah". During Filming, they didn't realize he had changed it until the entire scene was shot. When Nolan Watched it Back, he Loved it, and Kept it.
“Here’s my card.” That’s my favorite moment in a scene that’s nothing but great moments.
I love The Russian mobster’s expression after the joker drilled a pencil through the dude’s head...
He looks genuinely impressed, somewhat frightened, and seems to be the only one taking him seriously.
Yeah, he's one of those people that looks at a tiger and respects it while also saying, "I want that on a leash."
Not much for magic act, but that was pretty good trick.
WHERE. IS THE ITALIAN?
That pencil trick gave him not only instant street cred, but Status...that's the kind of story becomes urban legend ("...and the pencil did disappear! Along with the guy! Dis-speared it in his eye!")
I dont really see how the pencil trick worked tbh. a no.2 pencil, with eraser up? Some... welp[!] Most bullets (via handguns) have a hard time piercing bone.
"you see.. a guy.. like me"
"a freak!"
aa... ee....
thats.. an expression of him supressing his anger, while trying to get back to what he was saying after being interrupted by an insult.
its actually quite a masterpiece in my opinion.
Explain
@@vietle8156 because Joker truly believes that he's the actually sane person in, well, all of the World.
He looks to these mafia men as outcasts that could've been better at what they do, and to receive such words from them, it's offensive to Joker.
@@hopes_in_hearts Yeah, he's actually the most sane person in the whole movie
2:41 as well
3:44 look at his face
*_R.I.P Heath Ledger - he would’ve been 40 this year._*
Wow I didnt know he was so young.
The best actor IMO
And he would have taken part in The Dark Knight Rises too, to make it more great.
@@JinChinhang how do you know this?
@@pascalisoikonomou2637 Nolan said he had plans for more movies with Joker and Bats, but Ledger's death dashed those plans.
The quick one second scene of a metal detector being used on them all and then the joker walks in with multiple explosives is a masterclass of build and pay off that your brain doesn’t even recognise on first watch
I always liked how Joker just calls the asian guy "the television."
I would love to find out that he forgot the name and improvised "the television" instead.
Intense dark scene. Unlike anything in 2019 joker.
@@RisingDawn12 to be fair the 2019 Joker was an origin story and is a good movie in its own right
@@chinmander 👏🙏
He is telling lies visually
when you identify 68 million as a small amount of money but still can't afford a good tv.
I know right 😂
He probably didn’t want a modern TV that could be tracked down by cops
Well it was 2008 they were probably on their plasma shit
because smart tvs are stalked by the government.
Самир Мурадов yes
The Russian is the only one not laughing at Joker's proposal. Smart.
Paul Munro he did just witness him shove pencil up a dude’s eye
How to prove you're really serious:)
and look how that worked out for him
Maroni was the smart one in that table; the Joker actually had to unleash Two-Face to caught him
@@jjrj8568 Italians man..they the mafia, they knew how things work...
Paul Munro Nah it’s just because he’s Russian that’s the way they are
"You're crazy."
"I'm not. No, I'm not."
That stare afterwards lets you know he means business.
It sounds like you're referring to a situation where someone might say "You're crazy," and the response is "I'm not crazy," followed by a serious stare to emphasize their seriousness or intent. This exchange suggests a tense or confrontational moment where one person is asserting their sanity or credibility.
The joker was the first dude to kill dudes with a pencil before Jon Wick.
But he is the only dude to kill someone with the rubber side of the pencil. ))
@@BandytaX55 He did he stabbed the sharp end into the table then slammed that dudes head on the eraser part.
@@BandytaX55 explain how he stuck the pencil in the table without the sharp part then
Riddick does it better.
I see your John Wick and I raise you Mickey Knox.

That's assuming you are even good at something.

I remember seeing this in theaters. After the Joker kicked the door open and left, people in the theater were murmuring and some were chucking in a anxious way. Ledger’s performance was so raw and unnerving the audience didn’t know whether to laugh or take it serious or what. What a phenomenal piece of acting.
I loved every second of it
Ehh, ok...
One of the reasons I liked Ledger's performance so much is how "funny" he was with his dark humor. He told them he paid for it with their money. He answered a rhetorical question. And he made a pun when he revealed the grenades. He was a fantastic Joker.
That’s the perfect reaction, inspiring intrigue. The moment you realize this Joker is just a little different from the others.
I clapped my hands after he left. the best Joker ever 🙌🏻
Came back here to wash off that nasty experience of the new Joker movie with some good scene from Dark Knight.
me too.
THIS IS THE JOKER
I can finally sleep peacefully
2:58 The way joker says "the batman" is just pure chills and goosebumps.
Was an spoiler for the next Batman? Maybe.
@@Renz0dV1 The Joker in this movie is a spoiler to The Joker movie
Dream comes true
At this point every word joker says is so "chill and goosebumps"
@@_FH_-pj3ef Cuz it is
Possibly the greatest acting ever, Heath Ledger is missed.
Agreed bro
In my opinion, it’s jsut the most perfect villain I’ve seen so far. He did such a good job.
true !!!!!!!!!!

Soleyman Amiri
Cringe. Things not going well for you, bud? Gotta try and pick fights over the Internet? Good luck to you on that and future endeavours.
Whats great about HL performance is that when he was announced to play the joker, everyone including me, was pretty much in disbelief. At this time in his career although had done a number of movies, he was pretty much known as First Knight and Brokeback Mountain. Im so glad we were all wrong about him. His oscar is truely earned and its a terrible shame he wasnt around to recieve it.
Amazing
Joker: “Here’s my card”
Proceeds to pull out a normal joker from a deck of cards. Hilarious.
yes that is what happened in this scene very good
@OG-Clapzz He did that deliberately on purpose! That's his mark! He's unreachable but will be there whenever you call! Think of the devil and he appears kinda!
I don't know how I just now noticed that my 3rd time seeing this scene. Hilarious.
Sir. You have achieved the diabolical like ration.
Well shit I always thought there was info written on the back
It's like he's not acting, it's fucking crazy to see a person have such talent.
I'm effng amazed on how I cannot see an ounce of *Heath Ledger on this character. It's like Heathe left the body, and an unhinged maniac took over his physical form.
@ANDROGAMER Thanks.
yes 3:43
Agreed
Yah but I mean he was on drugs tho but RIP to him so sad he died
He didn't even treat Lau as something human lmao. Straight up just called him "television"
🤣🤣🤣
In the script, he was supposed to call him Lau. Heath just straight up called him a television
he knows the squealers when he sees them. and....
He was.......joking
Cuz he’s very good at treating people as humans…I mean shocking really…
Saw this the first time in the theater in summer 2008. This scene still gives me chills.
Joker just apperars to make fun of the most dangerous criminals of Gotham and go away like nothing happened.
What a Savage.
"You think you can steal from us and just walk away?" "Yeah" hahaha
I remember the whole theater laughed at that line.
gostei da bandeira na tua foto
There nothing to him, literally the most fearsome villain of all time
After stealing from them too mind you
