With this small sample size of the screenplay, its just okay. This is really an example of how creative people saw a script (like Joaquin) and envisioned something more out of it than what is initially printed on page.
On the other hand, maybe the screenwriter (who is also the director) is one of these "creative people" and you're just some idiot.
Small tweaks by Joaquin that made all the difference
Joker as a ptsd soldier made way more sense as a character arc. Like Kurtz if he returned home after his platoon being ambushed and he survived a near beheading in the process and got no help upon return and THEN turned into a bigger monster
That song adds significantly to the creepiness of it all. Gary Glitter was a freak in his own right.
unforgettable screenplay
This was GREAT to see - screenplay and final movie together. Sooooooo good!!
Joker is a great example of how "good script" doesn't mean "good writing"
you mean how a script isn't a novel?
@@devstuff2576 no, that's not what I mean
The writing was fine? Have you read it? @@deptofcarstereorepair
This just shows how much Joaquin brought to the character of Joker, so much of it is not even in the script
weird, i was just reading the screenplay before this uploaded...
That's life...
the door is opened with creaking sound and arthur's dark eye look, omg thats amazing
Wow, it's like they looked at the screenplay and decided to just do their own thing. If I was a screenwriter, I'd be pissed that either they didn't think of it like for this movie or upset they didn't stick to it like in a bad movie.
The screenwriter is also the director so chances are he's not actually that pissed.
So I’m guessing all the dancing came later from Phoenix.
Wish they kept the music and tone eerie & uncomfortable instead of a triumphant feeling but I understand why the director wanted it this way.
Same Or have a nice juxtaposition by having the score be triumphant yet uncomfortable
Forgive me, but I think you're missing the point of the piece of music. The track is 'Rock and Roll' by Gary Glitter - who was a UK pop star in the 70s and ended up a convicted paedophile, doing time for his abuses. HIs music has been kinda been taboo ever since. This scene sent shivers down my spine when I saw it for the first time...
@Ian Oakley Yeah but the song itself is upbeat and triumphant, despite the story behind the singer who made the sing
This is very OK to me. I meant the screenplay sequences.
Awesome clip. Love how you paired the scene up with the script.
This scene scared me the most. I so feared he'd kill him. The most impressive character develoment I've ever seen.
Shout out outstanding screenplays
I know everyone still thinks Heath Ledger was the best joker and on some levels he was but joaquin phoenix mesmerised me for the whole film and I've watched joker 10 times now, I've only watched Heath Ledgers batman twice
Powerful and intense movie.
Super movie. It shows the tragic events and circumstances that transforms someone to be a killer.
This is one of those rare perfect films. One which has a cohesive aesthetic that makes it impossible to tease apart the writing from the acting from the photography, the score...As if it sprang forth fully formed like Venus from the shell. It's an important film. The heartbreaking story of a good, gentle, but broken man's descent into violent madness. It drives home the importance of always being kind to everyone because we create our monsters. Let's create saints instead. Phoenix's performance absolutely wrecked me. I cried nearly the whole time, from a slow leak to outright sobbing. Incredible work by all.
Een van de beste acteur . Uit Amerika
Never liked the choice of music here but great scene
I kinda like kinda hate the achived insanity feel of this scene with the music and stuff
Do the true detective or walking dead
Was a little people oh wait we can't say that thing or what. Well we did better than say it he showed it and that would suck to be that little dude . At anyrate that what you were getting to ?..perspective on this interruption after blasting someone who turnsd to ab associate after the week yhat cift had im amazed at hiis oh i dot this door I think it quietly says you are always nice to me., just made that moment before that even more badass and that I thought you were going to say that they did about his Darkness just building and building men's Gotham I still don't know why he got whacked in what is it 9mm similar to that . I wonder if he talks about his brother in any interviews I'll check that out real quick I just watched Stand By Me and my favorite movie growing up probably honestly was the lost boys keep her Sutherland better than Stand By Me Kiefer Sutherland cuz Chris Chambers was the coolest best friend you can have even lard ass wouldsay that!
What a faux joker movie
Nicholson or nothing.
It's a dope decent movie but I can't call it Joker. It's stupid. It's not Joker at all.
When the trailer for Joker came out, I thought it looked fantastic. I was excited. But when I finally saw it I found this movie totally juvenile, misguided and bad. I don't even think Phoenix is particularly good in it, and I usually think he's amazing. It's a bland pastiche of better movies (King of Comedy, Taxi Driver) and I get the feeling Todd Phillips never actually understood the core of those films or why they're good, he just took some broad ideas, tossed them in a blender and assumed it would turn out good. It didn't. There's zero thematic resonance. The scene where Joker goes on DeNiro's show is painfully bad and predictable, it's like "he's gonna kill him now right? right." Not remotely shocking. Also the scene where he confronts Bruce Wayne, blech. Just unconvincing tripe.
quite the forgettable movie
Bad take
L take
@@thebad69 shitty movie, as "deep" as a dry tide pool
@@thebad69 watch more movies. Joker is mid compared to Taxi Driver and King of Comedy which it ripped off
@@danculbert6349 I've seen a lot of movies including them ones. Been a Scorsese fan for years
