Two weeks after the official Joker trailer aired, the clown Pepe meme went viral on left-wing media, so no, he won't win an Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker either, even though his tormentors on the subway are Wall Street millionaires and the anti-antihero mayor is a caricatured republican.

It’s amazing to me,that Joaquin’s performance is so good in this movie. It’s makes you overlook Connie Nielsens performance, and not because it’s bad, in my opinion she did an amazing job, you can see the emotional pain in her face. She does such a good job that, I had to remind my self it’s not real, it’s just a movie. Joaquin was so amazing, and breath taking, it’s makes it so easy to over look her performance. That is true definition of great acting.

@grandadmiralthrawn92315 жыл бұрын
Looking back on the movie it does make you feel a bit bad for Commodus. He wanted nothing but to be accepted and loved. He believed his father didn't love him, he tried to do everything to please the crowd gave them food (before the fight between Maximus and Tigris) and listened to the people when they were cheering to kill or live. When Maximus spared Tigris you could see Commodus smile because he thought the crowd would turn on Maximus as he went against the wishes of the crowd. As soon as they started cheering for Maximus and calling him merciful, it made Commodus realise that not even his own people respect or accept him and that nothing he did would be good enough. His sister was the only one that he believed loved him. She was always there which is why he clung onto her. If he had let her go then he would have had absolutely no one. I agree he was a cruel person but you can see him through the movie get worse and worse until he finally broke down completely in this scene. Imagine growing up believing your own father doesn't love or accept you, becoming emperor and finding that you rule over an empire that will never accept or truly love you, finding out that the army doesn't love or accept you (they lied to Commodus about Maximus being dead in Germania), finding out that your sister who has been there for you since you were a child doesn't love you anymore. That would be enough to drive anyone mad

Even just the line "But so did I" is masterfully delivered, that whisper of his conveys all the pain and suffering he had borne all the time he had yearned for the love of his father. I know the real story between Marcus Aurelius and Commodus was nothing like whats is portrayed in this movie, but it certainly makes for interesting storytelling.

Granted Joaquin’s performance in this scene and throughout the movie is nothing short of absolute brilliance. But one thing I wanna lift up is Zimmer’s contribution to this scene in particular. The crescendo that begins at 1:58 and culminates at 2:25 is magisterial. It transitions the two scenes masterfully and really complements and helps create the mise-en-scene vividly. It’s a big part of what makes this scene so memorable. Easily one of the best scenes in cinema.
