I had to see this again yesterday:wow:
There were a few details I missed the first go around seeing it, and it lended more credence to some theories I had. Something I noticed in the flashback sequence when his mom is being questioned about the abuse of Arthur as a kid, the guy conducting the interview led off with “Riddle me this”, a very clear nod to the Riddler.

I had mentioned in here how Arthur killed all of his parental figures, and I noticed on rewatch yesterday his coworker who lied on his name about giving him the gun referred to him as “my boy”, giving that further credence.

I’m buying more into the idea that the whole movie was a delusion made up by Arthur while being interviewed in Arkham, and lowkey its part of why I don’t necessarily want a sequel or a follow up film of some effect. Part of the genius in this movie (to me) is in the unreliable narrator element and how it blurs the lines between what happened and what was imagined, getting any sort of sequel that ties into that creates a linear path where things either DID or DIDN'T happen, and I’d kinda prefer if they didn’t go that route. Takes away some of the magic of this movie

Captures the essence of The Joker too.. Watch the film a few times and still not 'get it' :wow:

The Truth
Btw, i really dont buy everyone’s “theory” that it was all in his head. I believed it all happened and he was just reliving it although still not completely accurate (as we found out in some plot twists).

I think in the end, it was the future and he was full fledged the Joker at that point... killing and etc.

I mean i could be wrong. We all could be wrong.

Watched a 2nd time last night and observed closer since reading yalls thoughts and reviews. Still loving the gritty gotham/ ny scenery. The scene where he kills his mom and after theres that moment of silence someone in the theater did the joker laugh!!

Yoooo nikkas was sooo shook and quiet for like 5 minutes. Shyt added to the tension and chaos in the film already
:russ:

:mjcry:


I loved jokers little childish shuffle dance after he blasted murray. That had to be Phoenix doing his own thing. I need to find a gif of that asap

Enjoyed it

I liked the clever lighting right before walking out onto the show to give the illusion he’s wearing the actual purple suit.
