The Nolan Batman trilogy will always be classics!! 🔥🔥
It's my favorite of all the Batman movie series.
"What story is real?" There's a famous Joker quote from one of the comics, that says: "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" Part of his character is the mystery of who he is and how he came into existence. So there are TONS of different versions of his "origin story" to choose from (including the recent Joker movie), and all of them are equally possible. :)
Yup, and the funny part is the mention that his fingerprints and face don't match anyone, and his clothes are custom made, which adds a real world element to his ambiguity.
The Joker movie isn't the Joker, that's Loki-lite, so it's a Joke not the Joker. The whole point of the Joker not having a real backstory makes him more unpredictable, which is of course, the point.
One of the best movies ever made……..what heath ledger did with the joker character was sheer perfection…..he brought a comic book character to life…..There are stories that Heath spent 30 days in a hotel room just studying and analyzing the joker personality and perfecting his laugh etc.
Just an incredible film and performance
One of the best movies ever made???
@@donnieboughton1730 yes. Look up the ratings
I couldn't care less about rating...
@@donnieboughton1730 You're hating for no reason
@@jacksondill11 how am I hating it's a great movie. But saying it's one of the greatest movies ever made just simply isn't true.
Best Joker ever portrayed in the history of film. I guarantee that no one will ever replace this man as true epitome of what the Joker was supposed to be!!!
100% fact I don’t think anyone should have tried.
Myopic and really silly, lol. Why not appreciate how great Ledger's portrayal was without the tween "take" on it? Grow up.
@@frankcastle9991 Probably best that you don't think.
No he did the best portrayal of that version of the Joker, but that is not any Joker that I know of from the comic books.
@@facts2741 Or maybe it made that big of an impression? 🤷♀Either way, it shouldn't cause you that much distress. They certainly wouldn't be the first person to say it and likely won't be the last. And while we're dropping unsolicited and condescending advice, why not try being less of an ass?
NO WAYYYY!!! Rip Heath Ledger one of the greatest performances in cinema 🙏
My favorite joke about this film is Harvey doesn’t realize it’s The Joker till he takes off his surgical mask. 😂 Great Reaction.
This movie still hits so hard. Shoutout Heath Ledger 🙏🏼
I perused the comments and didn't see this, but I apologize if I'm repeating someone else: Ledger's scar prosthetics kept coming off, so the developed that odd tongue lick to press them back on, and simply adopted it as one of the Joker's mannerisms. It was a brilliant move, as evidenced by the fact that you picked up on his "tick" almost instantly.
RIP Heath Ledger. He died before he could receive his Oscar for this role. He died a hero and didn’t live to see himself become a villain.
He was a great method actor, awards were irrelevant to him. And he already had mental issues, this role literally killed him. He shouldnt be the standard for The Joker
most likely wouldn’t have got it if living
@@iainsteele5737 exactly
@@cazper420 Do the research, the Joker did not kill him. He was great fun and surprisingly laid back behind the scenes of the Dark Knight, breaking character when the cameras cut. He was even working on a different movie at the time of his death. What killed him was what he already had.
@@iainsteele5737 If you've seen the movie you'd know that his Oscar was well deserved
What I love about this movie is that it’s not really a superhero movie. Aside from being a masterpiece of a film, it’s a great crime movie where the protagonist just happens to be a superhero.
YOU SAVAGE! 2 DAYS IN A ROW!
Will there be 3? 🤔
This as a stand alone movie is one of the best movies ever made, hands down. This is the movie that really breathed back life to the comic book movie genre.
One of my favorite movies of all times. Saw it five times in theaters. The first time I saw it I turned to my dad as we were leaving and said "was it me, or was that a really good movie? Not just a comic book movie. But a really good film? And he said "ya, we need to see that again."
Heath Ledger's death was ruled an accidental overdose. I remember reading somewhere that he was prescribed several different medications from different doctors, and perhaps there was a bad reaction, or he took them too frequently. Whatever the case may be, it wasnt believed to be intentional, just unfortunate. He truly did give the performance of a lifetime here. He brought The Joker's menacing brilliance to life in a way that was whimsically unhinged and terrifying all at once. Its just unfortunate he never got to enjoy the fruits of his labor.
It was a drug INTERACTION NOT overdose. Learn the difference.
Should definitely watch A Knights tale, and The Patriot, because I’m sure you will love both of them 👍
The story with Joker’s mouth scars changes to show that he is just chaos.
Gotta shout out the soundtrack of this film, Hans Zimmer outdid himself!
You might say that Joker custom-tailors his origin story about the scars to whomever he's speaking to, so that is has the most emotional impact before he ultimately kills them.
Also remember that Batman is supposed to represent justice in order in the world whereas the Joker says that his single spark of chaos destroys all that. That's why he turns Harvey Dent into Two-Face to show that it just takes a simple push for somebody to go from being on the side of justice and order to being a part of Chaos this is why the Joker was always Batman's greatest enemy, similar to Superman and Lex Luthor
This trilogy was very satisfying at the theater. I envy your not having to wait for each film's release for your first viewing.
This one is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP to Heath Ledger…his performance was amazing‼️For me it’s a tie between his interpretation of the Joker and Joaquin Phoenix’s version. Jack Nicholson also was good.🍿🥤🎬
All 3 were amazing for their versions of the character. Weirdo tweens try to make a competition out of it, but they're really really really stupid lol.
Mark Hamill's laugh and menacing tone will always be in high regard to me.
Just getting to the end of your reaction - absolutely voting up A Knight's Tale - you'll recognize a handful of other actors as well - so fun. I knew him from that and Ten Things when I saw this in the theater, and I struggled so hard to see him as I knew him from either of those movies, and even w my training as a portrait painter, I could not whatsoever. I've a great picture to share in your Discord that also addresses some of your questions here.
Hopefully he’ll spot a young King Robert “Bobby B” Baratheon.
My fav Superhero movie ever. Seen it like 6 times in theater's. Never gets old. Heath killed it. Wish we we've got more from him as Joker and other movies. He was such a talent. Rip
When this film was coming out, most of the die-hard fans knew Harvey Dent was going to be play TwoFace. However, for people who might not have known, the production crew put in an early Easter egg. When Dent meets Commissioner Gordon in his office the first time, if you go back and look...to one side of Gordon's head (behind him), the files are messy, and to the other, they're neat, implying "TwoFace" was coming later.
Man, I almost cried in the theater thinking Gordon was really dead. I love that character.
18:00 - “If I’m going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice.”
I hope someone's mentioned, or you noticed when you looked her up, that this Rachel (Maggie Gyllenhaal) is the sister of Mysterio that you just watched in Far From Home (Jake Gyllenhaal). They played siblings in the movie Donnie Darko (could make a great Halloween reaction, or just when you want a change-up into some time-travel mind-f*ck territory), and that energy is very obvious in the way they play off each other. She also plays opposite Will Ferrell in a weirdly great romcom, Stranger Than Fiction - highly recommend. I'm glad you're getting things back up again - thanks for all you do, Major!
This is definitely one of my favorite movies of all time just because of Joker
Did you ever watch the Patriot? With Heath ledger and Mel Gibson? It's amazing and definitely worth a watch.
Allegedly, he did have trouble sleeping after this role because he got so into it. So it is widely thought that these medications he was taking was to help him sleep and clear his mind.
Don’t forget the ORIGINAL Batman … Lewis Wilson 1943 , then after that there was Adam West as Batman 1966-1968, then it was Michael Keaton as Batman 1989-1992, then it was Val Kilmer 1995, George Clooney 1998, Christian Bale 2005-2012, now it’s Robert Patterson
15 years later and still the greatest superhero movie of all time. P.S. The Joker killed A LOT of innocent people. Rachel, the fake Batman he tortured and killed hanging outside the Mayor's window. The 2 police officers he shot, one on the street before the chase scene and the one at the hospital. All the cops who blew up in the explosion from the cell phone inside the guy's belly. The judge, the former police chief (don't remember if he was corrupt). So the Joker murdered at least 12 people.
when joker goes to the party, it was the first time many of them saw Heath in costume and that was true terror because he was doing things outside the script... the actors were actually scared.
Random trivia: the scene where Joker blows up the hospital, the break in the explosions was NOT planned. Something went wrong with the explosives rigging and the explosions stopped. But Heath stayed in character, by playing with the detonator until the explosions kicked in again (his surprised reaction was legit). Furthermore, there was a shot INSIDE the bus Joker climbs into as it drives away from the exploding hospital where Heath also stayed in character, he never once looked back at the explosion (the shot was cut, but if you look at the bus he climbs into, you can see the camera inside).
That's actually incorrect sir. Nolan, script writers and the story board editor have all stated in interviews and bts videos that this was planned from the beginning and was not an improv. In fact if you look up the making of videos that were included in the DVD you can actually see it drawn up on the story board. Many of the videos have been uploaded to you tube and you can find them. there are also plenty of other videos you can find where that scene is talked about. It's a misconception that took hold for some reason. But Nolan himself has maintained that was a planned shot.
@@donaldjohnson1148 I think when the movie came out played a big part of why this and other fake stories about the movie are so widely believed. It was only a couple years after Facebook and Twitter launched, so they could easily go viral, but before people got accustomed to fake news and verifying stories like this independently (which, let’s be honest, a lot of people still aren’t very good at doing now, 15 years later).
Awesome reaction, this is arguably the greatest sequel of all time.
I'll always love Nolan. His trilogy was awesome and being a Pittsburgher, seeing all the Steelers in Dark Knight Rises will always be nostalgic for me
Lets go! This is easily the best comic book movie of all time! A few fun facts about the movie are that Heath Ledger won a posthumous Oscar for his role as joker and the semi truck flipping over was not CGI but instead a practical effect. Another is that this movie made the Oscars change how many films could be nominated for the best picture award because of all the backlash they got from not nominating The Dark Knight.
Heath Ledger put his heart and soul into the role. A lot of his lines and mannerisms are ad libbed, (such as the scene where he's clapping in his cell and everyone's looking at him like "Wtf?") He applied his makeup himself; they had a professional clown makeup artist there, but he wanted to make it look smeared and self applied by a madman. And my personal favorite; those punches Christian Bale threw at him in the interrogation room were real. Heath told Christian to punch him as hard as he could because this is something the real Batman and Joker would do; Batman would beat the shit out of the Joker, and the Joker would laugh it off the entire time.
So obviously there's no CANON reason in the movie for his scars, but the agreed upon idea is that he was given a "glasgow smile" after coming back as a veteran for some undisclosed reason.
The most interesting thing about the jokers boat experiment is it would 100% fit his character that each boat actually has the remote to their own bombs so the first to try to kill the other dies
Easily my favorite live action batman movie thanks for blessing us with a double upload major I knew you’d love these
This movie is so brilliant!
Not just the best super hero movie of all time, one of the best movies in general. It’s currently ranked #3 on IMDB’s top 100 movies of all time
Not only one of the best Batman movies made, but just one of the best movies made period, imo. Just incredible.
Think the cast of begins was awesome..just wait til you finish this...every actor is absolutely firing on all cylinders..it just gets slightly overshadowed because ledgers performance is absolutely legendary
Aaron Eckhart was fantastic
I don’t know if anyone has mentioned it already but Nolan had a specific theme for each movie in the Dark Knight trilogy. Batman Begins them was fear. The Dark Knight is chaos and the Dark Knight Rises is pain.
And now you've seen the single greatest superhero movie of all time. And Heath Ledger's Oscar winning performance.
Just so you’re aware most people consider this trilogy a Christopher Nolan trilogy not a DC trilogy. This definitely isn’t the tier of the other DC movies lol
As far as I've heard the story about Heath Ledger's death, he had trouble sleeping (reason unknown, perhaps because of the Joker role, perhaps because of something benign, we will never know), so he had prescription for sleeping pills. He had also started filming a new movie that went on in a cold and damp atmosphere, and several got pneumonia, including Heath Ledger. The prescription medicines interacted in a bad way, and was the reason he dies. A team of other actors got together and finished his role in the new movie in his honor (can't remember the name of the movie). This is also a count up for A Knights Tale, it is ridiculous and funny, but Heath Ledger just brings the movie so much charm.
The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus ! it's a strange one
He had the flu, that's why he was having trouble sleeping, we already know if you actually read the TRUE information instead of going with speculation.
@@radicalreactions1633 read the "TRUE" information? I did not 'read' any information, I saw the official documentary about Heath Ledger and his life and career, which contained interviews with his friends, colleagues, and the few members from his family who whished to participate (most of them never stood forward, and whished to remain private people). Investigation showed that he started suffering from insomnia about the same time as the shooting of The Dark Knight movie, and that he received medication for it. The reason for his insomnia is classified doctor-patient information, which would never be released. No one else knew about his insomnia, so as I wrote in my previous message; we will never know the reason why. And while shooting The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus, he (among others) developed severe pneumonia. I have not heard, read, or seen anything about some "flu", which you mention in your quite judgemental, dubious and disrespectful message.
I swear you brought the little kid outta me with this one. Great reaction!
I think you should watch Batman (1989), Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, The Sopranos, and Succession after you finish The Dark Knight Trilogy
Congratulations on 30k subs Chief!!
16:24 When the Joker busted in and shot the ceiling. Alfred didn't flinch not one muscle ;)
Heath Ledger is forever GOAT status
It wasn’t in this reaction (I mean that’s ok though, can’t fit the whole movie in a TH-cam vid) but one of my favorite parts is when the big prisoner scares the captain into giving him the trigger for the bomb…and then he throws it out the window. Nobody is black and white. Good people do bad things, and bad people do good things. People make mistakes. Doesn’t make them evil.
I saw this movie 6 times opening week, by far one of the best movies ever made. Begins was good, this is the fucking crown jewel.
Been tapped in w you for the last 3 weeks and I went back and watched/liked damn near every video😅 keep it up brotha🙌🏼
Heaths Joker is amazing I’m not sure if those big shoes can be filled.
Fun Fact: In the Joker interrogation scene when you see Batman punch Joker, that's actually Christian Bale punching Heath Ledger almost as hard as he can. Just before filming Heath leans in and told Christian to full on punch him and to not really hold back. So he did.
RIP Heath Ledger… This is my favorite Batman….but yes, you should watch The Patriot & A Knights Tale…. You won’t be disappointed…..great reaction as always 👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥
the best villains are sympathetic villains, villains that you can sympathize with, villains that you low-key agree with...
When you finish the trilogy, you should check out the College Humor skits that parody these films, their Bad-Man sketches.
Heath had walking pheumonia and couldn't sleep and probably was undiagnosed ADHD or something because he talked about his mind never being able to stop racing. He was ill and couldn't rest and the combination of prescription and over the counter meds was simple but toxic and ultimately fatal. He died six months before the film was released but right after he'd just finished all his scenes and work on this movie. Everyone involved with The Dark Knight said that the role of Joker did not affect him or lead to his death. They said he wasn't in a dark place or depressed or anything while filming it and was completely normal between scenes and skateboarding with extras on the set. Totally normal. It was just a tragic accident. He made one last movie and died during that one. That's the one he probably got sick during due to the weather. People just want to make something darker than it was. Heath's own father said the role didn't adversely affect him and that his death was just sadly his own fault due to a dumb mistake with the medication..
Not even an exaggeration to say I walked out the theater back in the day a changed man. This movie literally changed me
Yes! This movie is the middle of the sandwich! Boss reaction, MAJ! Now to make the leap to the final act. 🦇
"Which story is real?" Yes.
LETS GOOO as soon as I get home from work today I’m in this thing, Major can what’s popping!!
Yoo whatup Greg
Joker killed so many people. He killed the judge, the commissioner, cops, the fake batman, etc.
Something that goes very unnoticed unless you know: the Joker constantly sticks his tongue out/does odd behaviors with his tongue. This is a noteable side effect of very long term use of antipsychotic drugs.
To the Joker, every version of his origin or beginning that he tells is real. And his word and memory are all we have to go on.
Michael Jai White(Gambol, who said, "Enough from the clown!"), starred in his own comic book movie, "Spawn."
Yay you reached 30k
Absolute legend you are, Major!! Back 2 back 2 back?? Perhaps?? 😅😅
Glad you're in the DCU now 🤙🏽
Bruh we get the trophy and the dark knight today what a day
@@yzyFCBsocio69 hahaha ayyy!!!!! Let’s goooo bro, Visça Barça! Our squad next season will be unstoppable!
who said you're not supposed to like villains? Some of my favorite characters are the villains and anti-heroes. This movie is so damn good. I would've loved to see where Heath's career went after this role.
When Heath was in the IMAX in London, they played the first 6 minutes of the film, the opening bank robbing scene, for him. It was being used as a promo for the film. He loved it so much he asked the projector operator to play it again. It's a pity he never got to see the entire film.
I believe the reason that we feel like we like the joker in this movie is because of superbly amazing performance. If I had to pick villans that I like this version of him might be my favorite outta marvel and DC combined. His performance was so damn good that I'd like to say it might have been flawless. And I've never said that about any other actor. Everytime he's on the screen he makes you feel like you are there.
I been waiting for this one!!!
Another good one! Ready for you to see the opening scene of the next one.
21:31 you got that joker laugh😂
The best movie in the trilogy and still a masterpiece 👉 (Heath ledger RIP)
......Also do Jeepers creepers 2 😏♥️
Pretty sure him telling different stories about how he got his scars is just proof of how crazy that MF is 😂😂 RIP HEATH tho
What’s even more tragic, and I could be wrong about this but I’m pretty sure that in order to get into the crazy mindset and character of the joker, he had to take certain medication to portray such a character so intensely..which is said to have taken a toll on him mentally, eventually leading to his death. Definitely watch a Knights Tale, it’s so good. RIP to the legend
Gotta watch A KNIGHTS TALE!!! You will love recognizing familiar faces!!
Can't wait to see the 3rd and final movie!
Keep it going man
The original origin of the joker will always be a mystery because the original writers and creators of the joker wrote 2 different origins and released them I think at the same time
This version of Joker and Thanos is, in my opinion, the best comic movie villains I've seen in a movie.
Heath was fantastic in 10 Things I Hate About You and it is probably my favorite HS movie next to Can't Hardly Wait. As others have said Maggie is the sister of Jake and they were in Donnie Darko together, it's a strange movie for sure but it is pretty gripping with a superb soundtrack and I believe Patrick Swayze's last performance. I would recommend all these movies but if you want to pay some respects to Heath 10 Things is hilariously good with a great cast and it's actually a modernization of Shakespeare's "A Taming of the Shrew".
Love your Bat Voice
Ledger was on his way to being a superstar but he also had a lot of demons. He goes down in history unfortunately as a young dynamic actor that’s gone too soon but left a legacy. You can include James Dean, River Phoenix, Chadwick Boseman in that group.
Yo fam, that's not corny! This is why we come back!
One of the best movies of all time. Gets better on rewatches
Oh dude The Dark Knight is a modern classic.
You wasted no time moving to the next movie!!! I love it!!!
People close to him said he had a drug problem before he took this role, so the joker had nothing to do with his death
As for what Joker backstory is true; all, some, or none of them are! The point of the character is that he is an unreliable narrator, so any or all could be true. I really like the theory that he is an ex soldier. Love the reaction Major!
Whenever I was a kid this was more like a horror movie or a slow burning drama than anything to me now it’s a masterpiece whenever I was a kid the Batman movie that was my favorite with the one with poison ivy and Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. freeze I mean yeah it seems like a toy commercial the entire film but it’s got an aesthetic of a dream
Hey yo let's go Major!!!!
Another good Heath Ledger flick: Lords of Dogtown
I love your reactions my brow 🇧🇷❤️
The girl, Rachel, is Maggie Gyllenhaal, Jake Gyllenhaal’s (Mysterio from Spiderman: Far from
Home) sister.
