His laugh is perfect to his character because you can’t quite tell if he’s laughing or crying
Emily Griffith the fact the he laughed and made a sad face at the same is why he deserves that Oscar 🙌🏼🙌🏼
He cried every single time until the last scene the last scene was his only real laugh
gabe ortiz dude get over mark Hamill. He's never even played the joker.
Arthur has four different laughs... pathological/uncontrollable, fake, psycho and truly happy.
Aaron Hollander nailed it
Todd: "if u rewatch the film..."
Me: on my way sir
Totally!
I certainly would but I think my local theater knows me on a first name basis
Me too
i’m definitely rewatching it
Seen it 4 times.
"why would i keep the sign?"
i felt so bad for him
''I don't know Arthur, why does anyone do anything.''
I felt that
😢
SG 008 you wanted to tell him another joke* lol
@@elliecreativeculture this line shows his bosses own hypocrisy as before he asks Arthur why a bunch of kids would jump him for his sign. This could also be responded to with "why does anyone do anything" , and yet he doesn't see any flaw in his thought process.
Todd: Movie is meant to be unsettling
Critics: Didn't like it, made me feel unsettled
Me: WTF
Joker: We live in a society.
Don't listen to the critics. They just didn't get the joke
The critics didn't like what this director had to say about how PC culture ruined comedy. They don't like him at all.
Todd Phillips FTW!
@@theunknownuser9609 or they just flat out don't like depressing movies. Everything must be a feel good movie. :P

I would pay to see the breakdown of the entire film

Same
@@nota_2526 we have to wait until next year for that
I want to watch him talk about the entire movie like this
Right? It seems to me that when directors talk about the behind the scenes, and how they put the movie together, they most of the time only talk about the special effects and all. It’s refreshing to hear a director not only talk about the special effects, but also the reason behind the scene, what the character is supposed to be feeling in the moment, and even giving props to the stunt double. I commented this on his last Instagram post. I hope he sees it so he can continue to do projects like this.
I’m sure it’ll be a special features commentary when you can buy it. You’ll get to.
No you dont
Wait for the Blu-ray with commentary.
Yes
That tear was first... take... My jaw just dropped.
The drop of blue makeup running down his face. I got shivers
Todd says that the tear happened only in one shot people, not in the first. So maybe they took like 8 shots of the same scene and only in one you have the tear. Remarkable.
@@joserobertocarmona3285 he implied it was the first take
It's not that special
@@akimboslice4229 YESSSSS thank u people praise this movie wayyyy to much
I saw the movie but I did not realize the flower joke when he was laying on the floor. Such a good detail I missed.
Right! I saw the movement but didn't get it.
I saw it. It bleeds out red.
CoqSportif that's because it was poorly shot. I also missed it. Pretty sure 99.9% of people missed it
I dont see it
@@mannyb332211 Yes, it was definitely poorly shot. If the Director didn't point it out, I think none of us would've gotten that small movement while the camera is panning out.
It's really crazy that this movie was made by the same guy who made hangover
Lol now that's some serious range right there. Not even Joaquin has such a diverse range of characters he's played.
It makes sense tho as Joker is an incredible film, and Hangover does an amazing job at being a comedy
Barefoot Bear so you didn’t laugh at all during hangover
@Barefoot Bear you must be real fun at parties
@@imthel0rd this guy doesn't go to parties
I love how Todd Phillips gives the majority of credits to Joaquin for his breathtaking performances and even credits the stuntman and other workers on set by names. It really gives a much more humble and sincere vibe to his presentation.
Yeah exactly not.many people give props to the stunt men.. You can tell he is a good director tho knowing the names of all the people and seeing how hard they woke for the part.
Yeah man I thought so too. I was watching the credits and I was so surprised to see the caterers getting credited
I wish this film featured more of the joker's wits...
You are right. I like to think that it is his humbleness allowed him to get better, to become such a great director, to make this great movie.
Joaquin should get an oscar for that performance. Its just like heath, no doubt.
I wanted to give Arthur the biggest hug all throughout the movie. He just wanted to smile and make others smile. 😞
unknowning unknown wtf?
@unknowning unknown like you when you were 3 years old
@unknowning unknown are mindless, ironic meme comments the only way you know how to be funny or?
@unknowning unknown Dead meme located.
Same. I just want him to be real so I can tell him that everything is okay and he's a good guy.
The first scene already made me cry. I'm not kidding. It just felt so sad and relatable. He was genuinely just trying to live.
It hit me HARD too. I've got a soft spot for when innocent people (or pets) get abused, and this scene felt like a gut punch. A poor guy just trying to make a living getting robbed and beaten while nobody around helps....that'll stick with me.
WiredDragon7429 y’all too emotional
@@flyingchimp12 okay psychopath
Mary Ganaba nah I’ve cried before but not over movies. You have to be able to think objectively not emotionally
@@flyingchimp12 so do you just sit there and watch movies completely expressionless? Never get pumped up during an action sequence? Never laugh at comedies?
There were so many scenes where I felt Arthurs’ pain.
Same. If i could just reach out and hug him, after all, that's all he ever wanted, decency, warmth.😢
I felt his pain all throughout the movie, it was horrible almost wanting to comfort him
OMG yes!
OMG. THIS.
Nadine S I felt the same way until he started killing his mom and his “imaginary gf”. After that I understood him, but never sympathized with him.
I actually felt sad to see arthur laughing on train trying to hold his pain, you can literally see it in his eyes. God this movie is so freaking great and satisfying and terrifying as well. 10/10
It wasn’t pain he has pb I think so he laughs in situations were he shouldn’t
Mediocre Gameplay Yeah and because of that he’s in pain...
I felt so sad that i just wanted to give arthur a hug the whole time.
@@catcrack5332 Yeah that's the pain you know just like when you try don't laugh but for him it's opposite of that, he doesn't want to laugh but he can't stop it
Superman 007 was the best scene tho.
If Joaquin Phoenix doesn’t get an Oscar we riot
Everyone puts on clown masks
they'll probably give it to Tom Hanks because Tom Hanks goes along with the media's liberal narrative. I call it now!!!
I’m in
Exactly..Couldn’t put it better!
A SR Yep me too..
The people who didn't like it because it was "too dark" most likely never had it rough in life. Joker is a symbol of our anger, depression, and tortured personalities in my opinion.
FACTS
Ok boomer
It’s unsettling for people who have mental issues and anxiety. It gets so real that it starts triggering anxiety in viewers. I love this movie. I watched it twice. But I had to keep taking deep breaths because this movie is depicting the ugly side of life perfectly.
@@duaa378 i didnt like the movie because of that, but i wont call it bad. just not what i like to see. i avoid the dark stuff for a reason, i have enough in me i dont need to see more. but the movie was undeniably well made
Brad Haines exactly. This movie is not for people who struggle on their own because it was super intense.
Joaquin's joker gave us something with the Joker we never had before: humanity
K K certainly true that this joker gave us humanity, but the Killing Joke is based on a Joker with humanity as well. I’d also argue that there is a certain level of struggle in Leto’s Joker, although not as prominent.
Matt Greek ESASC Yeah you’re right there is some with Leto. I really struggled to watch his Joker
@@BluePineapple72 I loved it. I honestly thought it was an incredible movie.
UMMM NO.
You can't say Joaquin is the only one when there are a lot of comics where we see Joker's humanity side. Specially the Killing Joke. 1988
Because this is not a story about joker, but about how a man becomes the joker. The most chilling part is that there is no joker, yet he can be all of us
“I FORGOT TO PUNCH OUT” 🕰 🥊
haha! that was a great scene!
SUPER Spicy Memes that scene was so tense, but also funny
Now that's a joker joke!!!!
Peaceful Painting a joker moment was when he murders Randall, and then the dwarf can’t reach the lock on the door. That scene had such tension
Don't forget to smile!
Don't smile!
I wish all directors put this much thought into their filming. Joker is art.
Sam Esmail did with Mr. Robot
it seems you do not watch quality movies or your preferences are very specific. Countless directors put much thought into their filming, its not only a matter of idea's, its also a matter of execution. While the director is obviously vital, he does not normally take the whole project into his own hands.
Actually, a lot of movies do have that much thought put into them. They just are probably not the mainstream blockbuster movies.

"I've never heard him cry, he was always such a happy boy."
The haunting revelation that this is because his whole life, Arthur could only express his pain and sadness through laughter.
Right on
Don't we all?
@@LadyLilith1015 no, see a psychiatrist
Angie Carrizo yeah no
@@adahbombdon1512I think is pretty normal to use comedy and laughter to camuflage a real emotion like sadness, contempt, racism, a hidden crush confession, mysoginy or whatever.
That's what I meant guys. Is not alien or twisted to hide sadness and pain with laughter 🙄. The fact that you expect people to be perfectly balanced is what is actually harmful. _“The worst part of having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don’t.”_ this does not go only for the mentally ill. Everyone has a level of mental illness, and you shouldn't treat it as shameful or weird.

@@starlord818 I thought that was hilarious, definitely my favorite part of the movie
Jacob Hudman funniest thing in the whole movie
I found this movie not only unsettling, but also incredibly sad
thats.....the whole point
Wow, thats crazy.
@@maxheller7815 they...... never said it wasn't
People go threw that in real.life I'm one of them
I feel like a lot of people are talking about how great the movie is as a whole (and it is great, one of the best I’ve ever seen) but nobody is talking specifically about how beautiful the cinematography was. Like this was without a doubt the most beautifully shot movie I have ever seen.
Ikr, I very much appreciated the angles of some scenes, the slow close ups and fade outs that played so well into depicting exactly the emotions that the scenes wished to portray. In every shot I was stirred just the right amount of unsettled, intrigued, amused, and awed..
Overall, just brilliant.
Watch Mr. Robot if you want 4 seasons of brilliant cinematography. You get 46 episodes of genius.
Really, ever? I mean, it's a beautifully shot movie, but there are movies like Blade Runner 2049, The Revenant or Mad Max Fury Road out there.
It's nice, sure, but have you seen 2001 or Citizen Kane?
For another beautifully shot movie see “The Assassination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford”.
it’s so sad that nobody stopped those kids to help Arthur. That scene were he was beaten up and left in the alley was heartbreaking and difficult to watch ..
It’s a movie........
@@PabloRodriguez-cl4ox it may be a movie but it can still make you feel emotion

This movie was too good like I literally can't get it out of my head
Corinna x same it’s kind of weird, all I think about is that movie since I saw it. It was insanely good
Same same
I am still in shock after watching the movie
*@nugget muncher*
You okay mate?
Corinna x same!! That’s why I’m watching all these clips on TH-cam hahah
No one taught arther that it’s ok to be sad. He didn’t need to smile if he didn’t want to. His mom always told him to he needs to put on a happy face, she never told him to be happy. I feel like it pressured him to hide his pain and sufferings
interesting way to look at it, but then again he was sad his entire life and that kinda isn't okay haha
Joker is already a classic. Actually, after every movies Joaquin acted in, the movie became masterpiece and his related character became Joaquin's career-defining role. Walk the Line, We Own the Night, Gladiator, The Yards, Two Lovers, Her, The Master or now Joker. Amazing actor that has still many astonishing things to provide us with and that's great news.
Gladiator is one of my favorite films. The movies that try to portray real people like Walk the line always let me down because I always have the image of the real person it's about in my mind and never completely fall into the movie. With that said I still think it was a good movie and I think Joaquim Phoenix is a great actor. I think he better in that role then say Tom Hanks in his role as Mr. Rodgers!!!
Great observation.
Loved him in Gladiator
This guy is genius. He teaches us how important are little details.
It's all about details =)))
Like where the nearest ficus plant is located thats a detail "geniuses" usually need close by
All the directors do the same
This is definitely better than MCU but I just wish if it wasn't so predictable. For example when he held the sign board I was sure some dudes would beat the crap out of him and that's what happened and to be honest most of the film is like that
The anticipation of things you think or know will happen can bring along with it quite a bit of uneasiness... which seemed to be one of the things Todd wanted the most
To me one of the most heartbreaking parts, is when he walks into Sophie’s house and she’s freaking out and he just mumbles “ I had a bad day” 😔
Yes and when she said "you're Arthur right? You live down the hall?" Its like his only little bit of real happiness in the film wasn't even real
Josh B yeah it was so sad man, he went there looking for comfort and they had never even been together
I’m curious tho did Joker killed her??
andrea russett I don’t think he did, but if he did I think he did it only because he thought she wanted him to. Whenever she makes the gun sign to him he may have misinterpreted that and thought that’s what she wanted. But my theory is he didn’t kill her because throughout the film he dances after he kills. And he doesn’t dance whenever he leaves her apartment
Canaan Jones wow thanks for clarifying it. but ive noticed when he came back to his apartment there were sirens outside what does it mean?
I like that Todd Phillips seems to be a simple guy. His speech is very easy to understand. Appealing guy.
Simple man fresh yes.
And he’s so hot
The lighting throughout this film is spectacular. Every scene. Every one.
Yep, that's my favorite thing about Joker.
Funny how he refers to the character as Arthur and not Joker, kind of informs the thought process.
Because... it is Arthur for most of the movie? Why would he call him joker if for most of the film he is struggling as Arthur?
michael acquah Arthur , just one more score and we got enough money to leave .
The movie was original going to be called Arthur
Joker only shows up at the end.
No it doesn’t
I want to see him break down the whole movie lol
Buy the DVD when it comes out and watch the commentary
that would be 10 hrs but i would gladly watch 😂
He already has?!!!

Adam fouad that was an extremely hard scene to watch, great introduction
Nik Terin definitely agree with you.
Amazing opening
For like half the movie, I was just thinking to myself “poor guy. I feel bad”
Right eye
Christ. Jokers story begins with a tragedy in an alley...just like Batman’s.
The ending of the movie and the beginning of Dark Knight has same scene....
Edit: I meant the Thomas Wayne death scene...
I'd say his started being chained to a radiator at 3 years of age.
Chris Flaherty That’s not really a tragedy though
A'n'B Gaming the bank robbery scene?, I haven't seen Dark Knight in a while.
tragedy: being beat up by some kids LUL
This movie deserves an Oscar, and Phoenix deserves Oscar for best male role.
best scene was when Joker dances in the bathroom after killing those 3 guys.
Stair dance good. Also like the awkward dance in apartment when he shoots the wall. Funny but weird
unknowning unknown He danced in the bathroom as well, idiot.
Best is when he dances after he shoot murray
The whole movie was the best scene
Right!

I'm waiting for the Director's Cut to include those scenes which were in the trailer.
@@iceberg4736 I don't think there will be a director's cut because the Theatrical version is the one Todd Phillips decided was the best cut of the film. However, I too would like to see an extended edition to see all the scenes that were cut.
@@grantleesback6458 In any case, I'm surely interested in seeing it again & probably getting the blu-ray edition when it's available, because as a character study it's amazing. And to think reviewers wanted people to miss out on a movie like this for their own selfish reasons. No wonder why Joker said they wouldn't get the joke.

I would like a breakdown of the last scene too, with the bloody smile. Really a whole movie breakdown would be fine lol.
Breakdown of DeNiro and Joaquin going back and forth on that talk show would be amazing!
Dude, dat dance in the public bathroom
The scene where Arthur meets Bruce too.
They didn’t want to spoil the movie :)
SPOILER: This Joker isn't crazy. When he dicides to spare the life of the little man because he says "you were the only one nice to me", it shows some sort of compassion. Also when he plays with the kid in the bus, or when he does the magic trick to Bruce Wayne, he isn't a bad man. He just wants to be respected now, he just wants people to stop laughing at him. This portrait of the Joker was just amazing. He isn't a comic book character, he is a broken individual.
The best movie I ever seen in life
In The Killing Joke comic, you can also clearly see he wasn't any mad guy before becoming Joker. He just wanted to ensure his son's future.
@@carliiuxiiz ehhh but the killing joke has like five different backstories all running through eachother, the joker specifically says that "if i'm going to have a story, it might as well be multiple choice"
That's the entire thesis of who joker is, he's not supposed to have an origin. And even after this movie he STILL doesn't have an origin. Todd very cleverly twisted and bent the story to still make it so we have no clue who arthur REALLY is, he is not arthur. He is someone else entirely.
Watch the movie again, he is definately more than a broken individual. He's pretty insane
There are many kinds of "crazy". And they don't all mean "evil" or unable to show compassion. So yeas, this Joker was still very crazy.
“Hi I’m Todd Phillips and my movie had been nominated for like, 10 oscars.”
Delemma 11 ❤️
Whoops, 11
This video is way too short, I could listen to Philipps for hours, literally.
If Joaquin Phoenix doesnt win an Oscar, for this career-defining role, than it must be rigged.
Miss C he will. Another win for the Joker
Oscars have been rigged for years I wouldn’t count on it
He won't, he's not a mediocre movie's POC protagonist and neither does he promote the mainstream Hollywood agenda
Hate to say it but he won't win an Oscar. The movies controversy alone solidified that.
If black panther can get nominated for best picture, how can we have faith in that system? It's become too political.

I like how much he cares, how much he thought about each individual scene. I think that’s why it was such a great movie.
That tear drop hurt. I felt it. Brilliant acting.
When I saw that scene of the start of this film, my heart was already heavy for his character. I felt it like it was my pain.
One of the things I loved about this film is how “busy” it was in the background. There were so many scenes where you could hear so much going on in the background, whilst Arthur was completely silent. It’s such a good expression of how chaotic Arthur’s mind was.
very well said
Its ironic because it seems he's more in his element when thats going on ....
Wow, nice thought !
Yes.
Or maybe it was just busy and Arthur was just thinking. I'm thinking your another fooking idiot with too much to say with too little evidence to show, prove me wrong?
This made me realize something. Later in the movie when Joker is running in Arkhym I thought his running technique was an odd choice. I just realised he ran like that because this character would be accustomed to running in large awkward shoes.
DjMbezzle thank you for saying that I can’t wait to see it again!
I thought the same thing! Also, in the very last scene, the footprints he left were also spread apart like he were wearing clown shoes. The attention to detail is everything in this movie.
no, he doesn't workout in clown shoes on a treadmill, not sure how you put this together
DjMbezzle YUP
@@johnames6430 No one mentioned treadmills
That sign ‘everything must go’ has a deeper meaning. Before you watched the movie, if you have any expectations, whether your version of joker, batman action, chemical drop, incel, press reactions, any assumptions at all - this movie will not give it to you - all of them must go.
Nothing in this movie is coincidence - even the beginning scene.

Out of breath? Like a respiratory issue? Have you heard about this virus? (Sorry, I couldn't help, I need to make the joke(r))

2016: dude I dont even know who todd phillips is
2019: oh yyyea Todd Phillips
The director is as good as his films! that is life for you...Todd became super famous among masses after his hangover series...
True, people should not judge a director so quickly. When he got the job everyone was saying "oh no not the guy who directed Hangover 3"
I remember him in Ali g I think? I definitely recognize him, and I know he directed the hangover movies
He was a NYC taxi driver in season 1 of HBO's Taxicab Confessions.
Due Date... he plays a pot dealer
*SPOILER*
The sad thing is, the genuine smiles he gave us, when he was with Sophie, were all just an imagination. So he truly not once genuinly smiled. The Joker is a killer, a terrorist, an evil entity, but not in this movie, in this movie he is just the result of a failing society
*SUPER SPOILER*
He is a reflection of society. The social programs being ditched, like how Wayne ditch joker's mom. Him asserting his authority on the talk show and murdering the host, like how Gotham asserted their authority of not being clowns, murdering the Wayne's.
He truly smiled just at the end. When he was with psychiatrist
I genuinely think he killed Sophia, but am not sure if he killed the daughter.
missha missha that was a fake scene tho, an imagination
In a comment i saw in other video, in the end the Joker in this movie is all that (" a killer, a terrorist, an evil entity"). The thing is that we only saw the vision of the Joker about his life. So, in a way, we became this movie´s Harley Quinn. Joker, somehow, create this "image" of himself being just a victim of a corrupt system, were bullys and injustice are the everyday sandwich. And, we fall for that. We all just connect with him and actually believe what you just said ("he is just the result of a failing society")
In the end, Joker´s manipulates the audience just as he does in the comics.
best director: Todd Phillips
best leading actor: Joacquin Phoenix
Tan Newton Best Composer:Hildur Gudnadottir
joaquin*
I've seen this movie 8x, 4 in theaters, and i NEVER noticed that he pushes the button for the water to come out. CRAZY.
Arthur get's jumped by 4 kids
Todd Phillips: "So this is one of my favorite shots in the whole movie."
So joker 😂
heres what it looks like in real life 😂 th-cam.com/video/FjmWNbZsgGU/w-d-xo.html
Four? I count five.
That's the joke.
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
the only serious comic movie was about a clown
God I love irony
What about Logan?
why so serious?
@Geralt of Trivia All those movies are still fantasy thou. I mean, Joker is grounded in real life so much that everything about it is real in a sense. No flying batwings or superpowers. TDK is the most realistic after Joker imo.
Yes JOKER is a more serious comic book film.
The unintentional tear was so great when i saw the movie like a week ago!
This man was previously best known for directing The Hangover series. Let that sink in. This man is a genius.
"He's there to make people laugh.He's still seeing comedy in this moment of pain"
Now that's an ironic punchline.
ITA...that comment is profoundly beautiful.
But is that really what it was? It didn’t really seem like that at first. Maybe I’m missing something.
It'd be funny if it wasn't so pathetic. Oh, what the heck, I'll laugh anyway!
Actually remember, there is no punchline. #Murraaaaay
There is no punchline
- Joker
Before, I only thought Joker's laughter is mischievous and plain evil. After watching this movie, I saw the side of pain and anger. And it's haunting.
This movies portrayal of Joker is the influence for the Joker that became Batman’s antagonist.
@@grumpee8432 no it isn't
dragging no please elaborate.
@@grumpee8432 for starters Todd never said that
2 him and the actor talked about doing a sequel so if this joker just inspires the other jokers then you can't do a sequel.
Actually it can be multiple choice. It can be what Grum pee was saying or it can be the actual starter of the joker or it can be a delusion and never it happened. It can mean lots of different ways and todd said that be wont reveal the truth rn but eventually will. Its a mystery with probably four possible outcomes but we wont know until they do a sequel. They are not going to add batman or Harley quinn because it will just ruin it and todd said that he is definitely not going to add those characters in
I've been obsessed with Joaquin phoenix since The Master. The Joker has to be his best performance, and my favorite movie he's in. I can't wait to see what he does next.
I want him no I need him to breakdown the whole movie. This is a master piece.
"Joker director"
He has a name, you know.
Which is stated in the vid's description.
Yeah that's pretty messed up
I know, I wanna know his name
They should've still put the name of the director beside the movie or something. Not just ignore it or put it in the description.
And it's not like people don't know it, the name Todd Philips is mentioned in every piece of press for the movie just as much as Joaquin Phoenix's.
And the Oscar goes to...
Joaquin Phoenix
No.....TO JOKER
To Joker
*it better*
He will get it, but i liked Leonardo Di Caprio`s Perfomance in Once upon a time in Hollywood too. Both were fantastic.
Nah.
Hollywood hates this movie.
“When you rewatch the film”
Todd...bro...I saw the movie 10 times at the theatre...would I see it again...yes
Saw it twice 😅2
Yes, his running posture was perfect, somehow descriptive of the character.
Nuraini Arsad I noticed that all through the movie. Very kinetically focused and precise physicality of his character. Brilliant interpretation of his character. I love the running the most
Low confidence and low self esteem
This is one of those movies that you just can’t see once!
Seen twice in theatres so far.. i need to know what theories are true and which arent
@MasterGameCheater you the true joker 😂
@MasterGameCheater okay, mastergamecheater
Exactly!
For real, but hey you kinda cute. What's your SC?
When Joaquin wins his Oscar, can they introduce him as.... Joker?
*confused look on face*
Loved that scene
BRO I D BET ALL MY MONEY I M SURE HE WINS
yea this joke has been done way too many times. Think of something else please
@@PathOfDistrAction don t kill the vibeeee
This joke got me all the time lol
“world building” i really like that he used that term for the special effects/CGI.
Let’s be honest, Joaquin is a little nutty, that’s why he was absolutely terrific in every scene.
What?
@Pale Zombie Every genius is nutty , the only "normal" people are those who exist without any talent living a mediocre and useless life !!
@@riomyself2438 so you're saying that your life is mediocre and useless?
He definitely seems like a tortured soul. I mean he watched his brother die when he was young.
He was also raised in a cult.
I’m so happy I heard him talk about Joaquin’s “run” because he did have a very specific run that was super unique and showed even more character depth. It’s really geeky and awkward and worked so well for the character. I loved this movie
Edit: Joaquins take on the jokers run with AND without the big clown shoes was very unique to me the whole movie. I feel like even when he didn’t have the shoes on he still ran very comically. Certainly not an athlete, and it fit so well. Oscar, please!!!
He was running like a clown which was great!
It's definitely awkward, but I wouldn't say it's geeky. Arthur runs that way due to the weight he is used to when he wears his big clown shoes.
thats how i run 😭
Peyton Olson is a “clown run” my buddie is a party clown and he said that they run like that cause of the shoes. But Phoenix definitely add some things to it, it was amazing
My band and I uploaded surf rock and our own original guitar tunes , subscribeee if you enjoy more stuff coming soon
I want him to break down that iconic stairs dancing scene.
O yess
I loved that scene!!!! But I kept cringing and thinking, "Spine! Spine! Spine!! 😫😱😱😱".
Haha hihi I'm the clown prince of crime
It’s just a guy dancing on stairs though...
No it's Arthur fleek dancing on stairs to be free
It’s insane how a single scene in this movie can rock you to your core. This is the best movie I have ever seen.
This is so interesting! But even rewatching that it pains me so much to see such inequality and harm being done to someone who already has a broken soul. It shakes me to my core and almost makes me cry and the whole entire time I was watching the movie, I just felt like I wanted to help him so he can feel better and not be mistreated so badly by society and pretty much everyone around him. This is why this movie is so unsettling in a way because everyone's sense of justice kicks in but when you think it can't get worse for Arthur he finds out his adoptive mother abused him and I think that's where it's the end of Arthur and beginning of Joker. Because finding out his mum, the person that he probably loves most, isn't his real mum and then abused him on top of that, that ultimately broke him, understandably. So, I completely understand why he turns out the way he is with becoming Joker but then unsettling for the viewer again is that he starts to kill people, which is highly unsettling because it is morally wrong. And I think this is the reason why this movie stays in our minds for so long because we're trying to balance the injustice done to him and his ultimate reaction to it.
Happens to people every day.
💯
I can’t stop thinking about this film. I have to see it again... and maybe again...
same here without someone falling asleep next to me
Candypie 2010 tell me about it. This young couple used their phones through the movie in my row and eventually took a flash picture! Crazy kids with their fancy phones....
I know right?! My mind is buzzing with thought. I cannot wait to go back to the theaters to see it again.
I can't stop thinking about JOKER I really want to see the film again it's really that good.
Candypie 2010 saw it TWICE already and now ready for the third lmao such a good movie
The People that left the cinema because the movie was "too dark" are the same people who ask for the manager because they didn't get the right amount of sauce.
Yeah well truth is there's been some very dark comic-book movies that's been out for thirty years, eleven years ten years, fourteen years before JOKER came out those are some very dark films Batman, Batman Return, Batman Begins, V For Vendetta, Watchmen, this and that.
@@abramsullivan7764 I beg to different, I've seen every movie u mentioned and none is even remotely close to joker
@@ekechukwuuzoma8456 yeah
this chick said out loud THIS MOVIE SUCKED when the movie ended!! and i was like this movie is actually pretty enjoyable and has dark humor. i loved it
I almost left out of boredom, not violence.
Violence, I can take.
I love how he names/credits some of the crew members who helped create this opening.
He seems like a genius! He has just been hiding in the shadows all these years with "The Hangover"! Now Todd is getting some attention!
"I feel like you never really know somebody until you see them run"--that's actually a really interesting idea. I never would've thought of that, but it kinda makes sense
burnerdaughter how?
@@manee9110 Well, Joaquin Phoenix's Joker run is sort of haphazard; contrast that with the way an action hero typically runs in a straight, focused way. When you're forced to sprint, are your movements controlled? Desperate? Smooth? Graceful? Fierce? If Phoenix ran like an Olympic sprinter you'd feel a lot less sorry for him; his movements speak to his lifestyle and state of mind.
burnerdaughter I see, thank you for your explanation ☺️☺️
I mean.... he is wearing clown shoes though
@@RhiannahMay97 The shoes don't really matter when you look at the entire movie. He runs like that all along. He is desperate and you can feel it everytime.
Todd: "You see the grain in the title"
TH-cam compression: "sure"
I know right... 😆😜😆😜
@@Rommism eee455yuuy5
TOOD
@Brendan Milburn so true
tbh having seen it in cinemas, i think you could have gotten a more 'authentic' feel with a digital technique. the title in my (digital) cinema projection didn't look specially manual/chemical, looked like a bad digital title. but i appreciate the effort they went to.
Oscar press announcement: Joaquin Phoenix for Joker
Joaquin: One small thing.. when they announce me as the winner..can they introduce me as Joker..
Instant Classic, best movie i have seen in years.
I have wanted to see a movie like this for a long time. No fancy CGI, just depth and emotion.
James Coffee there’s plenty of those movies every single year
just say you dont go in a cinema very often
Emil98 he’s probably one of those people who only watches “superhero” movies
James Coffee, I feel the same way. I can't remember the last time I felt this enthusiastic about a movie.
I think he is referring to something that is a big movie, an actual blockbuster but still pure cinema, as in top notch breathtaking acting, photography and emotional impact. And I agree with him there. It's been a long time since a movie like that has been released. In the 90ies and before that it was a more regular thing when those kind of high quality movies that left you rattled and thinking about them for weeks were also blockbusters. Frankly, nowadays most movies don't leave an impression on me. I watch them and sometimes I realize the next day that I didn't even think about them at all the previous evening.
Even the double cant run like Arthur ... "You'll never know the person before you see him/her running." Wooow. Mr. Phoenix is awesome actor. Thank you Mr. phillips.
8:54 that's genius, such an incredibly small detail but it makes so much sense. God this movie was so well thought out.
The cinematography was on a different level in this movie.
Yeah it felt like I was watching an indie film and it was refreshing
It was masterful, felt like cinema!
Yes, Mr. Compass.
It sure is a masterpiece!
Meh. Felt like a copy of Taxi Driver or King of Comedy.
