[@TheZaros666]

I'm not sure if it's been mentioned elsewhere in the comments but as an American gun owner I wanted to give a little info from south of your border. In the subway when he shot those 3 guys, the first 2 were self defense and those 2 deserved what happened to them. In most of America if the joker stopped there it would have been self defense open and shut case. The third one after fleeing and being pursued and shot was definitely a straight up murder even by American legal standards.

Moore's Joker, and by extension TDK Joker, which borrowed heavily from that version, didn't seem insane at all. Like it was all a put on for him, an elaborate joke. An excuse for him to do terrible, terrible things. Very disturbing character in that iteration. This one, I don't think there's much of a doubt that something basically snapped in him.

That's actually Joaquin Pheonix's back, it wasn't done up to show he was beat up, he was born with a shoulder deformity, likely Sprengel's, which is a higher scapula on one side than the other. He also lost a LOT of weight for this role as well.

[@kendallcampos4784]

yes not a ton of people know that about him, Sprengel's may also be the reason for the scar on his lip

[@gwp4eva]

IMO the first two guys he killed, he was justified in doing so. They were beating him and showed no signs of letting up, so self defense was warranted. This is partly what confuses Arthur so much about the situation and the reaction to it; he was the real victim yet society was portraying the killer as the villain without knowing the circumstances of what transpired. Of course, the third man was running away, so that was murder, even if Arthur didn't see it as such

[@JakkFrost1]

Sure, the third one is murder, but at the same time, Arthur was still in the kill or be killed frame of mind, brought on by fight-or-flight mode, which doesn't just "end" all of a sudden, nor can it be turned off like a light switch. You don't even have to have the mental problems Arthur has for that situation to go exactly the same way.

[@d3l3tes00n]

Third one deserved it, too.

[@dakotablount251]

The first guy. The second he shot stopped immediately. Hell there was a pause. He'd likely be convicted for that. Possibly even the first depending on if the court takes his word for it that they were going to kill him. If I attack you you're only legally allowed to respond with defense that goes as far as is absolutely required of you.

Ah ha another example of how one dimensional this movie is. Bullies on the train. No developmental reasons why these guys are bullies on the train, they just are.

You guys talk a little trash about him shooting those guys on the subway. Only one of those guys was murdered, the other two were killed in self defense. The bottom line is this: The first punch that hit Arthur Fleck was enough to knock him unconscious, his head hitting the ground that hard would probably be a concussion all in all. Then you have the kicking, a broken rib can easily become jagged and puncture an organ such as your heart and lungs. Now, let's say at this point he doesn't shoot, they keep kicking, they start kicking his head. Arthur is knocked unconscious again, his brain hemorrhages from the trauma. The subway car is now empty except for Arthur, no gunshots were fired so no one heard it. Arthur lays there for 30 minutes while his body struggles to stay alive for just one minute...but no one comes and the guys that beat him up are long gone, having some more drinks. Arthur dies. That's not even worst case scenario as far as body trauma. But yeah, if he didn't shoot, he might've died for sure. Those guys weren't playing, they were drunk and relentless.

[@jwec9867]

The Joker is not supposed to have a backstory or a name. So, whenever they give the joker a backstory it is supposed to be a suggestion because the Joker is not sane enough to remember his own backstory. The Batman story that most fans believe to be to be the most likely to be true is in the comic book 'Batman the killing joke'. To paraphrase the Joker "Sometimes I remember it one way, sometimes another. If i'm going to have a backstory I prefer it to be multiple choice". Which is why Heath Ledger's Joker with the multiple backstories works so well, for comic book fans. In the 1989 Batman film (Michael Keaton Batman) Joker kills Thomas and Martha Wayne and creates Batman. Then Batman accidentally drops Joker in acid creating the Joker. So, they create each other. As you predicted for this movie. In most forms of media the criminal who kills the Waynes is called Joe Chill. The Joker's real name in our universe is BELIEVED to be Jack Napier (rhymes with rapier). In an alternate universe his real name is Joe Kerr. In this movie I believe it is Arthur Fleck. Which may be a reference to Ben Affleck. who plays Batman in the DCEU/ Zack Snyder Movies. If anyone has any Questions feel free to ask!

[@ChildofNature-hx8ev]

They also reference the Valeska Twins who represent different aspects of The Joker on "Gotham" with one of the street names.Jerome represents the manic,fanatical,wisecracking,irreverent nihilism of The Joker and Jeremiah represents the cold,calculating,gangster Joker who is obsessed with Bruce Wayne,an obsession that is only enhanced when Bruce becomes Batman!

A fun Easter egg is that first scene when it zooms in on the back of his head while he’s putting on his makeup, if you notice the mirror, it looks like Batman. Also, that first scene when he’s getting beat up and his hand is over his junk, I don’t think that he was “hit in his peanuts”. Considering how often he gets beat up in this movie, his messed up shoulders and ribs, and his abuse as a child, it means that beatdowns might be a weekly occurrence, and perhaps he’s learned to cover his fishing tackle and vital organs to keep it from getting hit.

My own three possible interpretations of the ending. 1) The story happened in a way we saw on screen for most of the time. Arthur Fleck became the Joker through the series of those events. 2) Arthur Fleck never actually became the Joker and he spent entire time in the asylum. What we see unfold on screen were his delusional thoughts. 3) The man we see at the end in asylum is the Joker and he just came up with yet another fabricated story about his background a.k.a "something funny". He's never outright called Arthur there so "Arthur Fleck" was just an identity he fabricated. Of course the director outright said that the movie is purposely made in a way that you can interpret things the way you want and thay there's no definite answer to what actually happened.

It took me awhile and watching it a few more times, to let it all sink in and wrap my head around it all. I absolutely loved it!!!! 😍❤👍💛👏👏👏👏👏 Joaquin winning the Oscar was SO well deserved! His performance and the music and directing and cinematography and lighting was just all spot on and sent chills down my spine and goosebumps on my skin, even when I just saw the trailers of this. I think it touches so many of us, as you said too, bcs there are these issues and problems going on in our world & societies, esp where mental illness or poverty or even bullying etc... Gets swept under the rug and not dealt with properly and there's never enough funding from Govts to help those who most need it. So we end up with all these mass shootings going on and homelessness is rampant in the mentally ill community. It's a disgrace and I'm so thankful this movie was made to put a spotlight on it, using Joker. Cuz it reached millions more then if it was just a movie about a man with mental illness. Of course he suffered from many issues, childhood PTSD, his laughing disorder, he naturally would be narcissistic (since his Mother was, and he had all his grandiose delusions). So basically he started out a good person, but his childhood and society turned him into a serial killer who finally felt like he mattered and had numbed his truest nature of goodness. It's a heart breaking yet truly beautiful movie to watch. Even the ending, you were like me, almost feeling bad for smiling and cheering on the chaos ... Yet I don't think any of us should feel bad. Cuz I think so many of us kinda related. Maybe some moreso. Even tho we don't condone violence.. It just seems like redemption for him. And it does make you smile. ☺ Peace and wellness to you both. Thank you for sharing, I really enjoyed it and hope you read this. 🤗 Edit add-on: I think we get to see how serial killers, mass shooters, etc become what they are... They can't handle the craziness and want to end it all. So they hurt others bcs they hurt, and then they get caught and consequences. It doesn't make what they do ok, never, but this movie so eloquently shows perhaps the process of creating a madman. Taking a tiny soul,child and putting them in a violent, neglectful childhood then sending them into a cruel world where they are bullied and perhaps can't cope or associate. It's really a dreadful synopsis of events that lead people to these deeds and actions. I, along with millions, was cheering Arthur on! Would I cheer on a mass shooter or serial killer in real life... No! But this movie just helped us understand those who suffer, truly suffer with conditions out of their control and have empathy and yes, give a cheer when they get a bit of redemption. Ok.. I'm off my soapbox lol 😄 Lastly, Joaquin Phoenix is a truly exceptional actor, beyond any other actor imo... His other performances have all been amazing but this was phenomenal ❤ Btw, I enjoyed the whole Wayne being his Dad and perhaps the documents at the hospital were faked to keep Wayne's nose clean, and so Arthur and Bruce are really half-brothers. And then the ending being that it wasn't Joker who killed them but one of his fandom, cuz the only Batman movie I like is with Michael Keaton and that's exactly what they show, his parents being killed in front of him in a back alley by an unknown suspect. Brings it all together to me at least. ☺

A masterpiece

[@karlluigi1987]

The Original Joker doesn't actually have an actual origin story in the comics..

[@Matej_Sojka]

True, Riddler presented the one in The Killing Joke, and Riddler always knows more about Gotham's characters than just about anyone else, but Joker himself never confirmed it as he prefers the ambiguity. And in the final analysis, how Joker bacame what he is is unimportant, even to himself. Basically every other character in Gotham is obsessed with how they started out, but Joker is not.

[@kenanf92]

Pretty sure there was a recent one that went into his backstory and basically if I remember right the killing joke was his actual backstory. Search three jokers comic of you want see.

i'm sorry i laughed at your reaction to him killing randall. when you mentioned in the beginning you were super pregnant i knew your emotions would be all over the place. lol great reaction though!

This woman really doesn't understand the mental health side of this movie...

[@acon2211]

Almost a "feel good movie" : you're/we're not him. That feels good.

[@amichakraborty2770]

people behaving all high and mighty in the JOKER film kinda makes me annoyed... the moment she started crying after the death of those 3 rotten people on subway i didn't feel like watching the video anymore... but everyone is different and everyone has a different perspective towards a film.. so it's okay..

[@sikksotoo]

I found them on a Futurama reaction. I'll stick to cartoons with them.

[@annie-my7gd]

She felt more bad for those three douchebags than the person with a mental illness that was constantly being abused and put down by everybody…like please shut up lady, I’ll cheer him on if I want to and if he does it to human scum and not innocent people.

[@Kiiieeechiii]

“She says I was put here to spread joy and laughter” She should’ve told you something else

[@quietdemon8138]

Joker (2019) for me is one of the most unique comic book movies ever made because it subverts everything we think and expect from one, for me it isn’t the story of THE Joker it’s the story of A Joker, the Joker doesn’t have to be just a typical and by the numbers character that has to be portrayed, written or directed completely accurately to his original source material he’s an idea and can be absolutely anyone, from the person down the street to a stranger in another country absolutely anyone can be the clown prince of crime and that’s what makes his ideology fundamentally horrific and terrifying

[@nathankauffman8391]

Did she say she thought he was gonna shoot himself??? It’s the joker😂 if he shot himself he wouldn’t be around in all the other Batman movies😭

[@Zer0ThePlagueDoc]

"You get what you fcking deserve." Probably one of the most powerful lines, in any context..

[@realSimoneCherie]

Great reaction! But I have to say: No, being mentally ill doesn’t give you a pass to murder people, but getting your butt kicked by 3 strangers certainly does - at least in America - and that’s what was happening in the subway. I’m sorry but, “that’s why you can’t be kind to strangers” is just not true. This whole film is about what happens we as a society are collectively are too unkind for too long.

[@atlas3348]

This film was meant to disturb. To be a painful watch. It isn't a superhero movie. It is more in line with a art film. It isn't about a battle between heros and villains. It's about what happens when the lowest rung of society goes a little to low

[@degov5]

o.o "You're awful Murray..." O.O Literally everyone's reaction watching this

[@UlricGrim]

Mental health issues are real and advocacy is needed now more than ever.

[@deltahalo241]

They actually CG'd in a bunch of buildings in the movie, to make Gotham feel more oppressive. If there was a street level shot with the sky showing, then they'd add buildings to cover it up, if there was an ariel view with grass and fields in view, then they'd add buildings to cover it up, to give a feeling that you couldn't escape Gotham
