Arthur's effortlessly charismatic stage entrace, the way he dances, shakes Murray's hand, kisses the woman, and waves at the crowd makes it feel like he was just so close to being an actual entertainer, if he'd only had a little better luck, his life would have gone entirely different.

[@Snobert99]

More specifically, if those Wall Street yuppies didn't attack him, forcing Arthur to have no choice but to shoot them; that is when things started going downhill.

[@Madheim777]

The thing is that Arthur being that relaxed was mostly his Joker's personality.

[@Altherot]

@@Madheim777 Yes, exactly. Arthur himself had a social anxiety, he was constantly under stress trying to keep his life together and not get bullied for his conditions. He is so effortlessly entertaining once he finally stops caring about his image and is literally ready to die.

[@ironhell813]

It was the gun that freed him, and allowed him to reflect his views without fear of retribution. All in all he asks to be called joker cause he thought himself a joke, but he really wasn’t into it, he inspired the real Joker though, Jack Napier, that rescues him using the ambulance, and meets him in the alley afterwards. Notice how the real joker gravitates towards things he would later be known for: ambulances and alleys…

Perfect mixed emotions

[@Altherot]

I think that Joaquin is just perfect for a character like Joker.. because you can just sense from him as a person that he has some of his insecurities and vulnerability as well. The way he does interviews, how shy he is, how thoughtful and barely ever smilling or laughing. He always seems just kinda tense. He does not like to be in the public and he appears to be a very focused and dedicated person to acting. He also has a history of depression and dealing with loss since his brother died. I think that Joaquin is just one of those kinda tired or even broken individuals who are dealing with too much behind their eyes from day to day basis. Which makes him ideal adept for a character like Joker.

[@saleemshady9270]

@@billukhan2954They are both equally as good. The look that Director Todd Phillips had in mind of a Joker origin story about a man driven to madness after being shunned by society was nailed by Phoenix. Christopher Nolan wanted a more comic book based chaos agent Joker, who was there to break Gotham's spirit, pushing the Batman to his absolute limit as a hero, and this role was nailed by Ledger. They are both perfect actors for what their films intended them to be. There is no one that is better, because these are two completely different films. Even Phoenix himself bowed in respect to Ledger when he was receiving his awards.

[@SwaggerSales]

There’s something so eerie about the way he stares at the stage, stone faced, while they’re making fun of him at 2:03. He’s spent the entirety of the movie up until this point embarrassed by his inability to control the spectrum of his emotions. But I think it’s at this exact moment, that he decides he’s past the point of having his feelings hurt. He’s finally made the permanent ascension from sadness to rage. He’s no longer looking to please those who have ostracized him his entire life. He’s looking to punish them.

[@michaelneufeld4515]

There's a line earlier in the movie, "I used to think that my life was a tragedy, but now I realize, it’s a comedy.", that illustrates that Joker's journey in the movie isn't from sadness to rage - it's from having the world tragically impose itself on him, to imposing himself comedically on the world.

@Your Totally Real Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Joaquin is a very sensitive man, you could feel his emotions in his speech, that's one of the many reasons he's an incredible actor, he catalyze those emotions with his acting.

[@mattgarciatx]

I still feel so bad for Joker every time I see this scene. Throughout the movie, he really looked up to Murray and admired him. Then he realized his idol just thought of him as a joke and wanted him on the show just to humiliate him. It's absolutely heartbreaking that he's backstage, behind the curtains, and still having to hear Murray, his guests, and the audience making fun of him and laughing at him before he goes on stage.

this guy need a psychiatric treatment, dude, and not pity, every balanced and adult person know that tv is just crap, and the people that work in tv is crap too, if an adult think that any famous tv worker is a great guy is clearly wrong, the joker was a absolute sick man, dude, is not something to feel bad or any other shit, the man was TERRIBLE SICK, nobody kill anyone just cos he is in anger with the other person, THAT IS SICK, balanced and healthy person can manage the frustration, the anger etc in a godd way, but this joker just was a fucking psycho

Joaquin just made insanity look beautiful. He didn't just play The Joker, he BECAME The Joker. Just look at his facial expressions, the build ups, his movements. When you look into his eyes, you just see a man craving to hit society as hard is they did to him. And when you think about this scene in particular, look at how he shows how huge of a fan he was of Murray "I feel like I know you... I've been watching you for forever.", and how he actually was practicing on how he was going to shoot himself, just for everything to be perfect and how he planned it. This is a Masterpiece, and one of the most deserved Oscars wins in History.

[@2006glg]

I love this movie and the entire scene from where he's backstage to where he is done shooting Murray and holds the camera. Those, what, 8 minutes (?) of acting address things that you experience as a bullied person in such a short span of time on film. The gaslighting once you confront your bully as they pretend to or genuinely don't remember insulting/ assaulting you, when you finally confront them , they play the victim and as if they don't deserve the full throated confrontation/ a*kicking they are finally getting. And the audience of ppl that watched them bully you for god knows how long will suddenly jump to the bully's defense, chiding the bullied person for going too far. It's an amazing piece of work, this movie, because it touches on some very ugly human stuff that only chronically bullied people could ever truly understand. That said, I'm grateful AF I got bullied so horribly at school in the years before social media. Made me tough as nails. Kids nowadays though have no escape from it with social media. It follows them everywhere. At least I knew when I went home from school, I was safe until the next morning at school.
