[@TheRealAkaRai]

Honestly, I didn't "want" him to kill the host. I expected it, but to me the suspense of not knowing exactly what he's planning is what makes The Joker. Some days he's a silly clown, some days he's a mass murderer. Sometimes the flower on his lapel sprays acid and sometims it's just water. That's what makes him compelling, "Which Joker am I seeing right now? Does he just want to make people laugh today? Does he just want to make himself laugh? And will my death be required for him to get his jollies?"

"The movie convinced the audience to think like a fucking lunatic!"

[@GrammeStudio]

"to think like a lunatic". in other words, to fit into the shoes of the Joker. to think like the bad guy. and he *IS* the bad guy. it's obvious when you frame him as a DC character. everyone knows he's the supervillain. in this movie/his own spin-off, it's not that obvious, especially when we're served a backstory that explains how he gets to where he does. it's hard to judge someone when you understand their upbringing. and that's what the writers weaponized. Tarantino made sure to bring in Robert De Niro's character as contrast. an asshole vs a murderer. now it's easier to see who's the evil one. What I think most people forget is when Arthur is given the opportunity to empathize with someone like himself (as we were given that opportunity by the writers), Arthur squanders that chance for us to see him as a good person that has been wronged in ways he doesn't deserve. Remember what he did to his mother, who has the same health situation as him? Like him being abandoned by society, his mother was also abandoned by her love interest, Thomas Wayne. yet, when Arthur learned about what his mother did, he doesn't give the very treatment he demands from strangers.

[@sartanko]

Tarantino is so right their and after, I so wanted him to blow De Niro's brains out, and when he did I was still shocked an surprised. Kind of like when you try to muster up the courage to do something scary and when you finally do it you can't believe you did.

You seem to have a childish/cartoonish, unrealistic, and one-dimensional view of what counts as a villain. but it's nice that you would demonstrate for us kind of person Tarantino was referring to , when he said people were rooting for the death of De Niro's character but won't admit it

Another example would be The lion king/Macbeth (although the premise of the lion king is a bit more transformative), it's retelling a beloved and classic story. Sure you can talk about the very obvious stylistic choices in QT's work, but pulp-fiction is 1 of 1, as is Once upon a time in Hollywood, deathproof, Reservoir dogs, etc... He's not retelling a well known story in any of his films. That's actually why OUATIH was so great, if you knew who Sharon Tate, and what happened to her/her baby the suspense throughout the last hour of the movie was crushing. He rewrote that sequence of events into one of the most satisfying conclusions ever (IMO); That's a whole different conversation, QT isn't retelling stories, and he's 100% right in saying "the joker" is a retelling of an all time classic- "taxi driver" for a new generation

Not me. I pretty much hated the Joker character. For supposedly being inspired by two Scorsese's classics...Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, the big difference is you sympathize with those characters a lot more than you do with the character of the Joker....who I saw as feeling too sorry for himself boo hoo. Joker is a one watch and done movie for me. I won't return over the years to watch it over and over again as I will for most of Scorsese's body of work.

One thing I love about that scene is that it is presented as the audience of the show is us, the audience in the theater. That scene makes it clear, but it is something present all over the movie. The Joker is "acting" like he knows he´s being watched by us. When he dances "alone" he dances for us, when he paints his smile with blood he shows it to us. When you see it this way you can start to understand how deep this film really goes. Many people think that this movie is overrated, in my opinion they are very wrong, this movie is really brilliant.

No, he isn’t. Tarantino celebrates film in all of his movies, and his influences are absolutely obvious (by design), but he uses them to craft original films that are totally his own. Joker does not. Joker apes Taxi Driver’s themes and tone to a ridiculous extent, but (unlike Scorsese’s masterpiece) utterly fails to say anything even remotely insightful- despite what many people seem to think for some reason. It’s not original in any way, and is merely a corporate rebranding of a far better & more interesting classic film. Tarantino doesn’t do that.
