I'm convinced that the director just told the two actors to actually fight.

Absolutely understand his behaviour.

Une scène d'anthologie, les deux acteurs sont d'une affolante justesse, sans limite aucune. Splendide.

Como se llama esta película porfa

Everything in this whole movie is a deep, extended metaphor.

Being an alcoholic, the baby crying just worsened his hangover. He really did not want to continue. Instead he decides to go completely postal and toss his career down the toilet. It was just unfortunate that this customer was there at the wrong time 😄

🤪

most realistic fight scene in cinema history lol

Why did he do that? Drunk?

Beat Takeshi eat your heart out

This movie is fucking fantastic. RIP PSH

his face transformation is shocking i cnat believe this man was johnny cash in walk the line

"You need to shut up." He was referring to the crying child, not the guy.

i like how he effectively defused the situation then decides to make it ten times worse by pulling his tie

This Looks Like The Paul Thomas Anderson Version Of Knives Out.

Someone get Daniel Day Lewis and Joaquin Phoenix in a film together directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.

ITS HOT.

Im a drunk degenerate. See a lot of ppl up their own ahh, fully lack any futility. I hate them

0:20 "Who tf is shouting,you better shut up"

FRANKS AND BEEANS! Have you seen my wiener?

This scene is a perfect example of slapstick comedy. And that’s why I love it so much lol

I like fight scenes. The minty flavor.

1:54 he runs like the joker here 😆😆😆

My God, the 40's to the early 60's were gorgeous. That department store is a temple to consumerism. In these lesser times we shop in simple boxes.

Coreographed fights are awesome, but this one just has something familiar to me. It is like watching 2 of my uncles fight for my grandma's money or land lol

I love how it manages to look 1950s (and cartoony - the guy's waddling bulldog fight-walk) while also seeming so incredibly modern. The same with PTA's dialogue. He's a true genius

Both men did a phenomenal job here

He distilled what he did in there will be blood to make the master

The fight scenes in this film are better than 85% of the fight scenes in action films. It definitely is a beautiful film. Even if someone doesn’t like the storyline they’ll at least have to appreciate how well this film was shot.

The director expects me to believe that the late middle aged obese man won this fight…

Fun Fact: You can faintly hear a child crying in the background but right when the first shove hits, The crying stops immediately. Pretty good detail that the crying was in his head

The old guy fights pretty good against a young ex marine lol

Have you seen my baseball?

Hilarious

dude those punches and throat grabs felt real like hell,

And the winner of The Fight Club "lose a fight" homework assignment is.....

You can tell a lot of the fight was spontaneous, because the cameraman wasnt too sure how to follow what was going to happen, he started following Joaquin Phoenix too soon where we missed him threatening to throw another piece of glassware right before he leavess.

Student filmmakers when they try to light a scene for the first time.

Poor joaquin phoenix, always typecast as the most realistic human ever :(

You cant direct or write this scene. Of course, you can describe the action, but Joaquin's performance is an artistic interpretation of the source material. It's almost scary

The baby crying in the store triggered him, an annoyance. Freddie lacks all impulse control, PTSD coupled with alcoholism.

This is exactly how the Joker would act if he had to hold down a job at the mall. 😂

lol Joker prequel

Myhouseisdirty

I love this it’s so funny and uncomfortable

Funniest thing ive ever seen

OMG.. I used to play this scene over and over just to get a good gut busting laugh.. Till this day I'm 💀 when I see this. 😂😂😂

This scene is incredible. It’s extremely intense, and interesting, while being very creative and funny. The part where he just says “You need to shut up” is hilarious. Superb acting.

1:43 - This is how real fights go... there's no witty remarks between blows, nah.... shoving and grappling til someone walks away awkwardly....

Unbelievably good acting from Phoenix, I watched this scene over and over, it was so shockingly real.
