Some men just want to watch the world burn
One of the greatest lines in film history ever
Ryan M., Caine’s delivery here was phenomenal.
Can't argue with that!
The Dark Knight the man himself
The first time I heard that sentence it was a German WW2 veteran describing how some soldiers took great delight in burning down an entire village during the Russian campaign. I wouldn't go as far as to say he said it first but I haven't found it anywhere else....till this Film.
Ryan M. - I still like “I’ll be back” and “It’s not a tumor.”
Later on:
Bruce: “Alfred, how did you catch that bandit in Burma?”
Alfred: *_”I burned the forest down”_*
He says earlier some men like to watch the world burn
The message from that scene was...
*We fought fire with fire*
But he didn't want to watch it burn, he HAD to
What I understood was that in order to capture the bandit, a sacrifice was needed to be made, in this case, burning down the forest, and possibly, burn anyone else who was unfortunate to be within the forest.
Similarly, stopping the Joker required great sacrifices, one was Batman taking the blame for Dent's crimes.
It just shows how far the lengths must go in order to defeat evil in both scenarios.
@@jaan08011 They must have evacuated the forest and the village within it.... Otherwise they become worse than the bandit itself.
They would have surrounded the forest, scrutinized each civilian that left, one by one... When all of them are gone, THEN they would have burned the forest down.
One of the few times a sequel beat its original....
Besides Godfather 2, yes
Godfather 2 wasn’t better than the first imo but it’s still the best sequel of all time
Spider-Man 2 yes
Yep it's a better movie! But I still like Batman Begins more
Winter soldier
God Alfred’s backstory is so interesting in this trilogy.
Curtis Bell Jr Alfred usually has an interesting backstory
ya
I have a feeling he British SAS or something honestly
Sgtturtle22 yh something like dat
Most batmen shows don’t focus or give time to Alfred’s mentor ship or guidance to him
When I was little I didnt notice how Michael Caine was amazing in this trilogy. What a legendary actor
MarkanVaran7 one of the best
His book, Blowing the Bloody Doors Off, is one of the more interesting reads I've ever had.
He is amazing in every Nolan movie he is in
hes the real batman to me afleck was a dumb choice they should of offered a wheel barrel of money if thats what it took
@@fightttttt as great as Bale still is, he could never EXIST in Batman v Superman- that's a supernatural world where an alien that flies exist. Bales Bats was too grounded in realism. He would been so outta place.
“It’s because of you these guys are dead”
Literally an informant for the fucking mob.
Well, when you gotta play both sides 🤷♂️ ...
Yeah, because of her Rachel died. Ramriez also inadvertently turned Harvey into Two-Face, leading to the death of three cops and potentially the massacre of Gordon's family.
@@aidenpierce2482 and she was right by the side of Gordon as he smashed the bat signal. she got away with it
Detective Ramirez is regularly one of my most hated characters that’s always in the lore. She sucks, she blames batman for shit he can’t prevent, then when batman is still actively helping her she has the balls to sell out not only Batman but also Gordon and his family. She sucks, so much. Lol
Imagine if she said that to the Batfleck or even the Arkham verse Batman, one batglare and she’d probably shit her pants for uttering such crap in the first place.
I saw a Ruby playing with a Tangerine the size of a Child
😂😂😂😂
Lol
Jesus
Oh this is gold XD
I saw a Tangerine playing with a Child the size of a Ruby
That is a perfect description of the Joker’s motivation. He doesn’t care about money or power. He just wants to watch everything and everyone burn, and laugh while it happens
Well, Joker proved Alfred was right. Later on the movie, it shows that Joker will kill everyone just to make Batman chase him down and toy with him while he's enjoying watching their sanity crumble down.
@@eetfuk3571 cause they both dont believe in society
Neither the govermemt
"It's not about money, it's about sending a message. Everything burns"
Thats not entirely right. Jokers motivation is to show the world that under the right (or in this case more the wrong) circumstances everybody can become as f*cked up as him which he proves with Harvey Dent
not really if u actually listen to Alfred’s story the bandit was stealing the stones so that the British government doesn’t come to power in Burma
Nothing can beat this trilogy
Josh Stxxz Captain America trilogy (kinda)
Edit: nahhh I’m wrong, Cap’s trilogy doesn’t beat* this trilogy, but tbh it’s a tie.
#1 is honestly Raimi’s Spider-Man
@@tanvvir8996 lmao
We’ll have to wait and see if Matt reeves Batman trilogy can top it
@@tanvvir8996 not even close. Most of these movies are for dorks.
@@tanvvir8996 bruh Moment
This may still be one of the greatest written scenes about the Joker ever. Granted, I haven’t seen Joker, but it’s still an amazingly written scene. And one of the only ones with Batman trying to be a detective.
I think you would like Joker.
The Chosen One Thanks. I’m gonna check it out for sure.
I just wish one day for a Batman movie to be shot with a more detective story based theme to it instead of a generic action movie theme
What are you waiting for? Go watch it!!
Elliepopcorn i love the theory by Patton Oswald that says Joker is a former CIA or special operative interrogator that has gone rouge. it fits in the narrative.
1:51 - That's Christian Bale, standing there for real in the bat-suit. What a legend.
Anton A. He was so dedicated to his role he even lost his voice multiple times because of how he talked as Batman
man was fearless
@@tyreseandujar5841 Wouldn't really say fearless when there are multiple cables making sure you don't fall down to your death.
Sylinic ok & who tf are you
@@sylinic6081 It's called health and safety mate
I find so cool that this ‘Bat-Bunker’ has nothing in common with the comics Batcave (being so clear, wide, no darkness), but at the same time, you can feel the same vibe of it. The tech, vehicles, Bruce and Alfred interaction...
This trilogy really is a masterpiece. Bravo, Nolan.
Henrique Guedes that’s cause his house with the real one burned down
Henrique Guedes ye they had a normal batcave in begins
The dark knight rises is when we got the full throttle bat cave with built in equipment and even a landing dock for the bat (bat jet)
umm isn't there a bunker like this in the comics? I did see it in the animated versions
In the comics Batman didn't always operate from the cave. That's not an invention by Nolan.
Shot at 1:36 is probably one of my favourite shots of the entire film. The way the music and camera movement sync up, the chaotic sound design of the telephones, all while Alfred's iconic line dwells in our minds, is amazing imo. Pure cinema
Yeah, it's a phenomenal shot!
Also the blue sky is gorgeous backdrop
It’s my favourite shot throughout the entirety of cinema for all the same reasons!
Crazy to think someone actually stood on top of a building that high and right at the edge
Wish there was a wallpaper of that shot!
I don't think there's a better description to the Joker.
Luis Giler agreed
He also want attention
he just wanna troll
What do u think on the theory that Joker was the hero of the movie? There’s many video theories about it.
That violin screech for his theme really set a great tone. Helps you realize Alfred helped Bruce understand what hte joker was as he stared back at the screen
"You're gonna take ballistics off a shattered bullet?"
"No, Fingerprints"
Just pure flex of his technological superiority by Batman 😍
That shows the GCPD is underfunded, didnt even cross Gordons mind to do that 😂
Though that scene is a pure work of fiction, its still great to watch cinematically
yeah if he can take fingerprints off a shattered bullet, he can also stop time and travel faster than the speed of light...
Gordon was probably like:”Wot? Bloody hell, from where does he get the money to afford such gadgets and tech?”
@@MikeCobweb and it was at that moment Gordon knew Bruce Wayne is Batman. LoL
The relationship between Alfred and Bruce is incredible. Not only he has been a father figure for Bruce, but he has also been teaching him to be a better and wiser vigilante all his life.
He's a troll that willing to play life and death... He's over it lol
It can be any movie, Michael Caine's dialogues are always powerful
Thats the old englishman accent. Soon to be extinct
Austin powers lol
Do not go gentle into that good night
Michael Caine could make a sausage mcmuffin commercial a serious contender to win the oscar for best drama.
Jaws The Revenge
Joaquin Phoenix's Joker: *"Do I look like the kind of clown that could start a movement"?*
Heath Ledger's Joker: *"Do I like a guy with a plan"?*
Such a cool homage to Heath Ledger!
Really?
@@alfriesmacdonalds5879 Yep! Isn't awesome?
Haha yea I guess
Michael Clark yes, yes it is :)
The thing about Ledger’s Joker was that even though he may not have had a plan in the long-term, he TOTALLY had a plan in the short-term. Tons of them, in fact- half the movie is just him executing his crazy schemes with no stated goal beyond fucking with peoples’ heads.
Arthur Fleck, by comparison, really DIDN’T have a plan. He was just some wacko who impulsively shot a TV host.
The ominous music and chatter in the background at 1:36 always gives me goosebumps. Fantastic cinematography by Nolan.
Just shows how "gothic" gotham is
Remember that scene in Superman Returns where he's just in space?
"Some men just want to watch the world burn."
Alfred understood Joker better than Batman with very little context. It's clear who the real brains of the operation is.
I think Alfred was previously part of SAS so Im pretty sure he has seen some messed up shit
The Joker is a criminal that Batman has never faced with a purpose!!
@@andreblackburn7819 yes. Alfred talked with experience, this is the first time Batman faced someone like that. Joker was just toying with him and thinks pissing off Batman while killing people for fun is a great sports for him
The guy with the brains is Always the guy who doesn’t get paid to wash underwear for a living.
100th like!
“Not sure you made it loud enough sir.”
ALL of this Guy videos are LOW SOUND
@@kitt28 3:16
love Alfred's dry humor!! its perfect!
"Some men just want to watch the world burn." Such a useful piece of infomation.
@Ethan Serial killers
Burn just wants to watch some world men
@@abdullahx4908 Watch just want to burn some men world
The lesson Alfred taught Bruce here was that not every criminal has a motive, an end goal, a material want. Their are some people who will commit evil for the sake evil, for the sick pleasure of seeing innocent people harmed. That for every criminal you predict their will always be those who are simply unpredictable
Well duh
In this case using the joker as an example it's like Alfred said he can't be bargained or reasoned with he simply does not care and feels no sympathy for others and doesn't seem to be afraid of anybody not even Batman and when you are dealing with someone like that the only two options are to lock them up forever and throw away the key or simply kill them
The joker does have goals and a motive just ones far different from your average thug
You can always predict what you understand. If a guy just wants to see the world burn, you can examine his motivations. Calling someone who enjoys chaos unpredictable would only reveal an own severe mental limitation, which makes *you* very predictable.
but the fact you described someone who does evil for evil sake... is predictable in a sense. If they switched back and forth between being a good person or doing a random act of insanity, that is unpredictable.
Those gunshots were extremely loud in theater. I will never forget this experience at the movies. Nolan is a genius. Bale is by far the best Batman to ever grace the big screen. Flawless film
Finally some realistic gun sounds. ... That's a gatling. Now imagine it in full-auto mode.
IIRC the Matrix was one of the few movies where they dared a mostly realistic gatling gun sound.
We are going to miss Micheal Caine when he leaves this place and we’ll remember this line of how some men just wanna watch the world burn.
This scene showed some detective skills of batman
He could've been defeated by a dude wearing a glove to load the rounds. They should've done something else to display his detective skills.
@@saad9591 no, the fingerprint are part of joker plan to lure batman.
@ 1:30 when Bruce slightly moved his head to better look at the joker on the screen is such a subtle yet amazing moment. U can literally see Bruce rethinking and reanalyzing his thoughts on the Joker. He starts to understand something he didn’t before. That’s what makes this film so great, moments like that. Also the proceeding shot of Batman on the rooftop as the audience stews in the thoughts of Alfreds analysis is just simply amazing.
Bruce: “Alfred”
Alfred: “Yes master Bruce?”
Bruce: “That bandit in Burma, did you catch him?”
Alfred: “Yes”
Bruce: “How?”
Alfred: “We burned the forest down”
Bruce: What did it cost?
Alfred: Everything...
@@MongoSlade84 "shit - wrong universe"
i think it was metaphorical but i may be wrong
I love how Michael Caine’s Alfred in the Dark Knight Trilogy always dropped wisdom on Bruce, and definitely knew Batman’s villains better than he did based on that same wisdom enough to inform him. The best part of that is he used ordinary people’s mindsets in lesser situations to compare to “sophisticated” minded villains. He’s the best version of Alfred so far, and I really don’t understand why any of the trilogy got so much hate. They were the closest thing to modern day society we’ve ever got from a superhero genre, and tbh it’s sad how that can only happen with a character adaptation rather than the exact company who owns the character rights.
Some amazing cinematography here. After the "some men just want to watch the world burn" line, the music changes, and it shows the Bat computer analyzing the Joker. The Joker theme plays and Batman, with all of his skills, technology, and intuition, is using everything to try to understand this man all while the Joker is laughing at him through the TV. He is literally mocking him trying to figure him out. That is such brilliant detail work that it reminds me how perfect this movie really is.
"Richard Dent."
"Patrick Harvey"
"Harvey Dent."
"Or Richard Patrick. "
"Get a Squad car to his house for protection now!"
“Commissioner, that wouldn’t make any sense, why woul-”
“I called in 2 squad cars to his location”
🤣
Shame it wasn't Robert Dent and Harvey Patrick because then you could have had Robert Patrick and the cops would just be like "Ah, no need to stress. He's a T-1000 and can look after himself".
@@Alan1701b lmaooooo
or Dick Pat
Nolan really perfected the ‘Batman on top of a skyscraper’ shot.
Thats the Sears Tower Chicago. Yes very cool
"You squeezed them to the point of desperation. And in their desperation they turned to. a man they did not fully understand"
2:25 Ramirez really has a lot of nerve to talk like that, especially after what her and Wuertz did to both Harvey and Rachel later on
The more populated our world becomes. The more inclined we are to have outlier individuals that are keen on not playing by the rules.
People are inspired by the ones who don't follow rules. Power. Power is lust. The joker was right. The only sensible way to live in this world is without rules
Its a movie tho
You're flipping the idea on its head. It's utterly wrong to live in a world without rules. It's contrary to everything Batman stood for.
Absolute power corrupts absolutely. And that's why people can never have too much power. Nor shall they be let loose with their depraved wishes.
Yep
Only Thanos can stop Joker lol
Phoenix's Joker was great but Ledger's Joker is Legendary

Did you guys like the movie?
@@edouardk.p.germain2800 Rob Pattinson is my new fave batman,hands down
For anyone wondering, the music from 1:35-1:53 is called "I am the Batman" by Hans Zimmer and James Newton Howard. 2nd half of the song
"Some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn." Absolutely brilliant. The depth of the dialogues delivered by Alfred pennyworth, played by Michael cane, in the trilogy is one of the reasons why the trilogy is one of the greatest of all times.
1:36 the sound design and score and cinematography in this shot is just perfection
As an emerging filmmaker, the shot at 1:36 is one of the most inspiring. Not only is it beautiful, but you wonder how they did it.
@yoan Raggoo lmao Chris Nolan avoids CGI, so this has to be a helicopter shot. Something like that. But some parts of the chase scene later have CGI. You can tell with some of the bat-pod and the chopper crashing.
Today its much easier with the drones. I am sure they used a heli.
yoan Raggoo No actually, Bale himself actually stood there (of course with cables so that he doesn’t fall to his death.)
It was a drone shot. A helicopter backwash would have played havoc with the scene, while a drone permits an unobtrusive close fly-by with no danger to Bale.
@@Davedio Lol, no. There's no drone that can carry a big ass IMAX camera. Also, this was filmed in 06 or 07, so years before drones were a thing.
Alfred was a mercenary, helping a local politician who was using bribery. The bandit was stealing the gems, preventing the crime of bribery. He didn't keep the gems. Alfred and his friends burned the forest, destroying property, resources and lives.
The bandit was the good guy. Alfred set the world on fire and watched it burn.

2:32 I love how Bruce just waits for Gordon to interfere with Ramirez’s bs, Bruce knows he’s gonna get what he wants, so nonchalant and badass
He just looks at Ramirez like "I saved a lady's life while she was fading from Scarecrow toxin while half of your entire force hunted me down like a rabid dog while looking cooler than James Bond could ever hope to be. But please, go and be a crybaby to get my attention."
" *Some men just wanna*
*watch the World Burn* "
Man that has to be one of the Best Movie Quotes/Dialouges Ever
When something doesnt makes sense
I always think of that line
Indeed
@Mr. Shlock civilians that subscribe to political parties are not the problem with the world, human flaws can all be broken down to a lack of empathy. systems of government or socio-cultural norms can encourage that lack of empathy, regardless of whatever tribe a person chooses to belong to
@Mr. Shlock You need Republicans and Democrats for a society to be healthy. One without the other just leads to tyranny. Far right or far left. I will say however that "inalienable natural individual rights" are horseshit. Those rights were granted. Like water or electricity, they're created utilities that can be destroyed.
@Mr. Shlock "Inalienable rights," like the right to choose what I put in my body?
Or, completely useless
Some men just want to watch the old clips
3:16 Alfred...I'm not sure you made it loud enough sir. 😂
That transition to him on top of that building was sick af
Timeless masterpiece
Idc how evil a person is, no person is born evil. I imagine there was a time when the joker was just a boy who wanted to be happy. If someone is pushed enough over the edge, they lose their true self. It's our job to keep people from losing their way and their happiness.
The greatest movie of all Time, period..
Well...I wouldn't say the greatest move "all time" but certainly the best super hero move out there
one of the greatest I'd say

Reason why this remains the best trilogy ever. Perfect casting, dialogue, emotion, story depth, cinematography, direction..... Everything just was on point.
Who’s here after watching The Batman I still believe this movie is better imo
That is by far as one of the best lines that that, butler has ever said
2:06 not sure how to describe it but I really loved how this movie would setup scenes and then suddenly Batman would be there. Makes you almost feel like a normal citizen, “one minute he was there, next he was gone.”
I can’t believe how perfect this movie is
I like how they portray Batman doing actual detective work but don’t make this a slow detective movie
My Cocaine is so underrated. If you notice in Nolan’s movies he is the voice of reason. His characters are always an integral part of the stories
My cocaine ?!?!
david chizi It’s an ongoing joke that Michael Caine’s name sounds like My Cocaine. You hear it better with a British accent
“Some men just want to watch the world burn” perfect way of describing the joker
1:37 to 1:54 is so god damn eerie, it’s one of the ultimate scenes from this trilogy...
Skyline was Chicago. Batman standing on one one of Sears Tower columns.
Michael Caine doesnt get enough credit for being great in this trilogy.
This is one thing modern fiction fans don’t get. Not all antagonist have to be sympathetic, and not all main characters have to act like villains.
1:39 The direction and editing of this movie is awesome.
It's just Nolan in all his essence, directing his masterpiece.
"Some men just want to watch the world burn" Masterful quote
That story, to me, is the best dialogue of the whole trilogy.
This will always be one of my favorite scenes of all time
I love that Alfred immediately understands the Joker better than Bruce. There's a lesson there about life experience versus training.
"I remember when I was with Special Forces. Seems a thousand centuries ago. We went into a camp to inoculate the children. We left the camp after we had inoculated the children for polio, and this old man came running after us and he was crying. He couldn't see. We went back there and they had come and hacked off every inoculated arm. There they were in a pile: a pile of little arms."
@@michaelvanwiejr.5022 Apocalypse Now
Alexey Inochkin That was well delivered by Marlon Brando
@@jamesmontalvo6715 Marlon Brando was an absolute acting genuis & master at his craft
1:45 great shot of him.
Some people try to convince themselves that even the worst people are just selfish and shortsighted, that any act of horror can be traced to another horror. That those who are everything that's wrong with the world are those we disagree with ideologically.
I think this is one of the most powerful scenes in history for acknowledging an uncomfortable truth. Evil exists.
And some people are born that way!
As a Burmese, I immediately switched on when Alfred began telling Bruce about Burma. It might not mean much to someone who isn't Burmese but it did to me. His analogy is powerful but not accurate.
The bandit he referenced was more likely a Robin Hood than someone evil like the Joker. Throughout Burma's sad history, much of its resources were pillaged from various ethnic regions. The Bandit was throwing away the precious gems (which Burma has plenty of) because he knew it belonged to the people of these regions - not to some wealthy buyer. In that part of the world where the people are devout Buddhists, they believe there is more to gain in the after life than in the present life.They really believe this. So those that are devout will do all they can to carry out good and not be swayed by the allure of earthly wealth. Whether you have faith or not, you'll appreciate this when you see it first hand. Go and travel Burma. If you can, visit the Kachin State up in the north where gems like the one the child was holding used to be easily picked up from rivers.
This story is not made up. It's very real. The script writer must've had a first hand encounter or knew someone who did because there is no way this was pulled out of thin air. To throw in something about Burma in a movie like this was very intelligent. In addition to this, referencing the former capital as 'Rangoon' tells me the writer is well read and may have a strong British colonial education. Very few in today's age know that 'Yangon' was once called by this name. Fitting how it was mentioned by Alfred (who is a Brit).
Htut Win but if you look closely, the joker is way more than just a chaotic evil figure, but actually kind of like a Robin Hood of his own right. He bankrupted the mob, and forced Batman into temporary retirement because his existence worsens crime elevation.
@@joshuachang5210 Hard to say that's his real motivation. The Joker said time and time again his only intention was to sow seeds of discontent, to bring out the worst in people, to pull the rug out from under society and expose humanity for the primal animals they really are. His attraction to Gotham was 100% due to the vigilante methods of batman, an individual operating outside the system who doesn't play by society's rules. The message joker wanted to send to batman, and to Gotham, is that if you're not going to play by the rules, then you really aren't going to play by the rules... I'll expose these people and show everyone the dark, ugly truth that lurks beneath us, and hold absolutely nothing back. You wanted to bring down the mob and enact justice without the rule of law, then I'll do you one more, and bring down society entirely.
That's a counterweight to the Robin Hood mentality - the Joker didn't side with the people, he sided with the crazies. His allegiance was solely to the darkest shades of humanity, and that's what made him the consummate "unstoppable force" against the immovable object of Batman.
@@HarryGillen well said mate. That's exactly how I was going phrase my response.
@@HarryGillen The Joker has different theories about this scar: then you'd better not count him on anything, including him claiming himself to be an agent of chaos.
And notice that the Joker isn't necessarily trying to bring down the society. If that is the case, the Joker wouldn't reveal his "ace in the hole", which then enables Batman to sacrifice his own reputation and save Dent's. Letting Batman take the blame also forces him to retire, which stops crimes from escalating, therefore saving Gotham. If such really is a part of the Joker's plan, then sure he sides with the people.
Interesting!
Great soundtrack, great acting, great lines. When i say this movie is golden, i mean this movie IS GOLDEN... Michael Caine was a amazing Alfred
i simply love the scene at 1:37
it is so dark and tt has such a great atmosphere
Thats the Sears Tower Chicago. Yes very cool
This is such a legendary scene and line in cinema history and I’m glad it was Michael Caine who said it.
Watching this scene, i almost forget how good this movie was..
I have to say one of my favorite scenes is when Batman was standing on the sky scraper at the edge over looking Gothem aka Chicago
Bruce was following Ra’s teaching that criminals aren’t complicated, that went out the window when it came to joker.
One of my favorite movies of all time.
The type of criminal that scares the shit out of me: one that only wants to see the world burn... and has NOTHING to lose...
I like how in the 1:35 batman is using the sonar vision to locate the Joker. Nolan is letting us know how invasive and desperate is batman for catching the joker.
'Some men just want to watch the world burn' is 'the will to act' of The Dark Knight. These movies are timeless works of art and exceptional explorations of the human condition that will be studied and appreciated for generations to come. Walking out of TDK was one of the first times I recall being grateful to have seen a movie. Nolan and company should be extremely proud of what they've accomplished.
Hans Zimmer’s score is something of extreme beauty.
All the shots of Batman perched on some skyscraper are all so good in this trilogy. My favorite is in Batman begins when he’s hanging on the gargoyles.
Ever line Michael Caine delivers is so perfect. Draws everyone into the story and ends it phenomenally.
remember when they praised the batman for "finally" being a detective batman movie? people juat seem to have short term memory I guess.. The Batman was a good movie but the dark knight.. this is something else
In 2020, this movie is evermore relevant. “Some just want to watch the world burn.”
Including Alfred's lesson on burning down a forest would've been perfect for this video.
Dont understand people who says the batman 2022 is a better detective, just look at this man
its cause 2022 batman walks around slowly solving puzzles and looking at stuff via nolan’s and others do it more quickly lol.
honestly this perfectly incapsulates what makes the joker such a great villain he doesn't follow logic or conventions he simply does what he wants.
Incredible cinematography. That shot where Batman is standing on the edge is downtown Chicago. He’s standing on the edge of one of the sides of the Willis Tower. The colors, the camera work…just beautiful work.
