    I believe the people on the ferry, had they pushed the button, would have blown themselves up. Why would you think The Joker was telling you the truth. He told different scar stories. He switched the addresses for Rachel and Harvey. He said they would find Harvey Dent at an address but instead found two corpses who's combined names made Harvey Dent. He's unreliable to say the least and don't you think he would find it funny they killed themselves trying to save themselves?

    The reason for the Joker changing his back story originated in the comics. Joker said “If I’m going to have a back story I prefer it to be multiple choice”. I think not knowing he truly is adds to the terror of the character. A popular hunch for this Joker is that he is a war veteran suffering from PTSD. Some reviewers have noted his skill with an array of weapons or knives. When interrogated by Batman, he lectures him saying “Never start with the head the victim gets all fuzzy” suggests he is familiar with conducting or receiving interrogations. Obviously he is a master planner and in his monologue about chaos and how people don’t panic even when things going according to a horrific plan, he alludes to gang bangers getting shot (mob leaders are killed in the movie), mayors being killed (which he attempts to do) and a “truck load of soldiers being blown up”. This bit has no relation to the movie and may be a hint to something that happened to him in the past. Anyway it’s just a theory that I like and thought I’d share

  • @joaosoares-rr5mj

    notice that when the joker put that gun into harvey hand, his finfers were on the hammer of the gun, so even if harvey decided to shoot him on the face, he wouldnt die, because when the trigger was pulled, the hamer would never reach the bullet.
    this is one of many proofs of this movie, that the joker acctuly doesnt leave anything by chance.

    • @michaelccozens
      @michaelccozens Před 2 lety +1

      That's a common idea, but I don't think it follows. First, that finger is neither positioned correctly to stop the hammer (it's off to the side in a manner that would probably cause the digit to slide-off if the hammer were released), nor strong enough to do so if it was (if you were going to try that technique and count on it to work, you'd at the very least use your thumb). Small-arms manuals are very specific on this point; if you have to manually de-cock a loaded weapon, you put your appendage *between* the hammer and the chamber, not on the hammer itself, the idea being to make it impossible for the two components to touch without physically punching through your hand. Relying on your finger to stop the hammer is like carrying around a live grenade with the pin out; it's just not very healthy.
      Second, the Joker has no issue with dying for his cause. He wanted Batman to run him down, he wanted Batman to throw him to his death, and he would have been perfectly happy with Harvey shooting him in the face for the same reason; because it would prove his point. No need to wait for Harvey to flip coins at people if he commits murder and destroys his reputation right there in that hospital room. And the Joker very much leaves things to chance, or at least to decisions outside his control. That's the point; to force people to confront their own morality and values, hopefully (to the Joker) resulting in proof that they have neither. Similar dynamic to Jigsaw's traps in the "Saw" series, though with almost the opposite motivations (Jigsaw wanted to force people to appreciate what they had by paying for it).
      It's a bit of a minor mistake in the shooting to show the finger touching the hammer at all, I think, as it leads to understandable if unintended conclusions on the part of the audience, but examining the idea in the context of the whole narrative makes it pretty clear it's just a visual error.

    That scene where Joker was wondering why the hospital wasn't blowing up was actually semi improvised. It was set to go all at once but instead something went wrong and the charges weren't going off, Heath being 100 percent in character acted like he had no idea what was going on, and in the end we have another fantastic scene with Joker because he just went along with it. RIP Heath Ledger, he got a lot of shit for being a "pretty boy" (at least before his death when he was known for stuff like A Knight's Tale and 10 Things I Hate About You) but he was a good guy and a fantastic actor.

    I'm of the opinion the Joker conjures up a background story depending on WHO he's talking to.
    He makes the story about something deeply personal to them and something they may want (Gambel's may have wanted a missing father in childhood. Rachel may desire to marry a powerful man, because she's beautiful).
    And then his story turns dark and shows that you may not actually like getting the thing you've always wanted. (Gambel's father may have been a fiend. Rachel's inner ugliness (a vice like gambling, or whatever HER vice is) might drive her to destroy her marriage and her man).

    What's great about Joker switching the addresses is that he actually gave Batman a chance to save Rachel. Joker, knowing there's a relationship there, was probably curious to see where Batman's mind was. If Batman had decided to pick Dent, which would have been the right choice for the city, then he would have ended up saving Rachel, which would be Joker rewarding him for his selflessness in a way. But since he picked Rachel, it ended up not only causing her loss, but Dent's as well, since her death was the catalyst for him becoming Two Face.
    And the most brilliant part of all of it is it's not explained at all. It makes you think about it.

      @@NewfieMovieReactions Joker also telegraphed it relatively heavily (for him), but Batman was too emotionally involved to notice. "250 52 Street" is a palindrome. "Avenue X" is just a cross, and "Cicero" was an ancient Roman politician from Caesar's time, Julius having been cited earlier during the dinner conversation between Bruce, Rachel, Harvey, and the Russian ballerina. Depending on your historical viewpoint, Cicero was either one of the Republic's last great defenders or one of the chief reasons for its demise (personally, I think the latter far more accurate). Every piece of the addresses hinted at a switch, but Batman failed to pick-up on the pattern.
      It's also interesting in that it seems to be Joker's only outright lie, and it's for a very specific reason; to test Batman. Whoever Batman chooses to save, he'll have his primary motivation dashed, either by accidentally saving Rachel if he puts the city first and goes for Harvey, or by getting Harvey if he puts his personal life first and goes for Rachel, as he did. Either way, it's pretty much exactly what you want if you really, really want to know if there's any circumstances under which Batman will kill you.

    My man. watching you react to this took me back to my first time watching it. This was by far one of my all time favorite movies and watching you go through what I went through and even more from it just made my day.
    Here is a bit of movie trivia for you about this movie.
    You mentioned how well Joker's make was done. Heath Ledger actually insisted on doing his own make up. He said the Joker wouldn't really have anyone to do it for him so he did it himself. If you look carefully at his hands you might notice traces of the white make up on his hands.
    Looking forward to more of your reaction vids

      Stop breathing life into myths. It has been stated many times that it was all intentional. They only had 1 take, do you really think that explosive and demolition experts would make a mistake that big? Costing hundreds of thousands?

    Yeah, I remembered from the 90s animated series that Two-Face's name is Harvey, so in theaters when I heard his name is Harvey, I'm like "Harvey? Two-Face's name is Harvey, is he Two-Face?" Then an hour later we see him spill the barrel full of gasoline and his face is on the floor on one side, I'm like "Yep, it's gonna happen, he's gonna be Two-Face!"
    Interesting about the burnt coin, it's from Rachel. He gave that coin to Rachel before she died and Batman found it at her spot. So when Harvey picked up the coin, he thought for a moment she made it out, then of course he turns the coin over and realizes she didn't, causing him to go from calmly revealed smiling to freaking out with heart-broken anger and sadness. Basically the thrashing version of Vader going *NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!*

    Personally, I would not have ben able to pull the bomb trigger on the ferries. My reasoning is, knowing the Joker as he was portrayed in this film, it would not surprise me if the Joker gave each ferry the trigger to its own bomb and only told them it was for the other. My theory is if either ferry had activated the trigger, they would have blown themselves up.

      The issue with this train of thought is that Joker's end game is to make Gotham give in to chaos, to win the 'battle for its soul'. If a ship blew itself up and the other ship has a clearly non-triggered detonator with dozens of eyewitnesses saying they didn't do it, and with no evidence available about the other boat having pulled THEIR trigger since they just blew themselves to hell, everyone would believe the Joker simply blew up one of the boats, and it's not like investigators would be in a rush to reveal the truth if they ever found out.

    The opening robbery really reminds me of the phrase "there is honor among thieves and none among criminals"
    Which mean never trust anyone Who's wants/needs don't align with your own, because the lowest common morals become the only morals.
    The joker just wants to cause chaos, the clowns just wanted money but were willing to kill for it. So the only common ground everyone had was a willingness to kill and a want for the largest share.
