Joker: "do I really look like a guy with a plan?"
Also Joker: all of this
"Now, I see the funny side..."
No, he just does things
That’s the irony, he understands and anticipates every move these people (Within the law) will do cuz “it’s all part of the plan”. He flips that and uses it to turn the city upside down. Total Maniac and Heath did a fantastic job here.
Joker tells Harvey at the hospital: "I took your little plan and turned on yourself"
He just does things tho. He can cobble together a 10 second scheme but there is never a bigger plan.
Thr fact that Joker intentionally gave batman the exact opposite info about where Harvey and Rachel were is both genius and terrefying
Honestly, I don't think he even cared. To him, every choice is pointless- it's all a sick game to him. Though it is likely that this Joker was broken unlike most others, it doesn't excuse him from actions that we would consider utterly crazy.
It was intentional because what the Joker said to Batman before he gave him the addresses was that "I thought you were Harvey Dent, the way you threw yourself after her" meaning he was gonna switch those addresses to manipulate batman even more. It's similar to his "I want my phone call" scene as well.
If you remember in the end when batman beats the joker. The joker says that his trump card was dent. I think that was a part of the reason why that the switch happened.
In the ongoing game of TIL....holy crp. Never thought of that.
He didn't give exactly opposite address, he said truth "killing is a choice" so batman did decide to kill Rachel , not even batman and audience payed attention cuz that moment was heated , but joker is a man of his words
4:14 Absolutely heart wrenching scene. Harvey’s “No” and Batman’s split second hesitation, realizing they’d been tricked and that Rachel was going to die.
The first person angle used when breaking the door is a masterpiece
I think it would be better if Joker gave the exact location where Rachel is, But Batman doubted Joker thinking he's going to trick me and go to opposite location where he think Rachel was there. But got Picachu face when he realise Joker telling the Exact location.
*THIS*
I remember that moment. Thanks for reminding me.
Good to know even if Batman made the opposite choice in Joker’s game, by going for Harvey and saving Rachel, Harvey would die a hero with the citizens turning on Batman for failing to save him and the Dent Act is formed on a truth instead of a lie.
@@joselitopuzon5620That sounds more like Mad Hatter or Hugo Strange than Joker. .
“Would you like to know which of them were cowards?”
What a chilling line
Heath Ledger’s acting in this is incredible
He went from toddler mode to boss mode quick in that part of the scene lol
* T R I G G E R E D *
Remember he's just acting. He isn't the writer.
I like how he says that in their last moments people show you who they really are.
He gets tossed off a building and falls down towards a certain death and laughs all the way down before getting rescued by Batman.
He managed to break Harbinger.
He must be flying the Normandy
Fun fact: Heath ledger was originally going to get professional makeup, but he chose to do it himself because it would look more realistic
Heath did it himself the first time because it would be in character for the Joker to do it himself, but the makeup artists recreated the same look when he needed his makeup.
also fun fact: Heath Ledger based the joker off of Tom Waits - czcams.com/video/gCSc6E4yG9s/video.html
He also let Christian actually beat the shit out of him in the interrogation scene and,and,and,and. Dude there’s not 1 iota of this performance that’s not iconic movie lore now.
I know only real dark knight fans know that
Funny.
0:38 I love that mouthed "six!?" like even Joker's surprised by how good he is.
I think he did that because he knew he could’ve killed more
@@aaronlouis6055 Or that he knew his bomb there would kill more.
Love how sassy he was
Six…. but like how he said that
No, he did that for one reason only:
To piss that cop off
Heath's acting is the reason people watch it again and again.
Go back to china
Yes
Thats not the prime reason,at least not for me.
His performance is like a cherry on the top of cake.Imo,this film has the best screenplay in cinema,miles ahead of Chinatown and Citizen Kane.Right up there with The Godfather films.
No it's not yes he's phenomenal bit the whole movie was very well written as well as every actor was great in their roles, heath was the cherry on top
Yeah, and I also watch it dubbed in my mother language because the actor who dubs Heath Ledger is phenomenal. He was actually the first one who came to my mind when I was thinking about who could dub him.
4:14. The heroic music cuts out completely, then the jokers theme slowly emerges- paired with Dent screaming… it gives me the chills. Without the movie actually stating anything, it conveys that the Joker had won. What a masterful scene.
To think, if Bruce wasn't in so frantic of a mood and blinded by emotion, he might - though very unlikely - have predicted the Joker would have tried something devious, or went to Dent's location knowing that is what Rachel would have wanted even if it means she would die.
she , harvey I do have an answer for you 4:11 i'm going with the Joker , harvey Screams No...No...No

@@RyanTheDark gym. Uweerrrrrooooooooo
Cool story bro
It's a brilliant scene, but the Joker wins a little too much. He makes Batman and everyone else look dumb and weak throughout the whole movie. Which is great for the actor and makes people think even more of him, but is actually bad for the audience and the filmmakers, because Batman is supposed to be the hero, and Batman is the one whose name is on this movie and the next ones, and the toys and games etc, so the whole machine is designed for Batman to be the one who is dominant and most liked. They did end up making a Joker movie though, but when the character is villainous, it's hard to make things work.
The fact that this film did not get even a nomination for best picture is b.s
Brie Larson won a Oscar for being 1 min on Endgame
@@Crip99763 the Oscars haven't happened yet
Asian Trix Rabbit this is false, however she did win an Oscar for her performance in room which was well deserved
@@Crip99763 yo bro! How are things in 2020? And like, seriously? You discover time travel and use it just post a pointless comment on CZcams?!? What's up with that!
@@arthurfisher1857 How the fuck do you know he dosen't have time machine? Shit man be polite to him. Yo Asian Trix Rabbit you have some football results from 2020 for me?
The moment Batman rushes in, he stops for just a sec. cause he realized that he had to save the wrong person.
And that second could have spared Harvey those burns
Yeah, that was a nice little nuance they put in. A similar concept is in the movie 'the American's with George Clooney.
He plays a sort of skilled but washed out and downward spiralling assassin and gunsmith. At the beginning of the movie he is attacked by assassins and kills them but in the process he fears that his secret life is exposed to his girlfriend whom he then kills and flees.
He goes to Italy and gets another assignment from his handler. It's simply to build a gun for another assassin. He starts making connections with people and falls in love with a hooker who returns his feelings. He completes the gun and delivers it and plans on retiring and leaving the assassin life with the new woman. But he then fears that the gun he was building was 'for him'. And it was. But he had sabotaged it and it injures the assassin hired to retire him.
But his handler shows up to finish the job. He's able to kill his handler and flee to go meet with the woman. On his way there, there's a moment when he realizes that he was actually shot in the fight with his old boss and is going to die.
There's such a moment of disappointment, not that he's going to die. He knew that he would likely die in this trade, but that he came so close to winning only to still die in the end. It's a really well done scene.
I got to say that while I'm not really a huge Clooney fan, he's been in some really good movies. This one and Michael clayton are both really good. I think mostly because he plays very quiet charachters in both movies and the story depends more on plot and non verbal acting from him.
No matter which - batman or bruce - would loose a friend or love or someone of insane importance. Its the choice that joker is interested in.
Even Harveys pain as well! As soonest Batman opened that door. He knew he was chosen. He knew the situation, but man! Joker with zero emotions Hella of scene.
@@metamorphicorder did you just spoil an entire movie
I like how the joker is just babbling “I want my phone call” like a little toddler. It’s weirdly funny
And cute lol I actually felt bad and hoped he got his phone call 😂

The joker went from toddler mode from the beginning to full on boss mode at 1:49 in this is what I love about heath's performance he's always steps ahead and comes across as unpredictable if you ask me!
@@AllHallowsWitchh Me too :D Poor Joker wanted his phone call
I think he meant in the sense that everyone in lockup gets one phone call.
*Hearing Aaron Ekhart screaming "no" as batman rescues him is absolutely chilling.*
Especially with jokers theme in the background
“Harvey. It’s ok. Someone..”. What do you think her last words were? Pretty chilling.

@@kittylionmeowroar7572 lol
I don't think that was chilling. It was a fire moment 🔥
Rachel's final moments show that she is selfless. The second she realizes that she is gonna die is so heartbreaking.
when she says “i don’t want you too”
Joker was right "In their last moments, people show you who they really are".
@@vvvvv6574 damn lol
i don't understand how is she selfish? please explain in details
@@Ammo150 He said "selfless" not "selfish" ☝️
Aaron's acting as Harvey Dent was fantastic and emotionally driven. It's underated.
Very true just think the heath ledger steals the show so people don’t really give credit for other good performances.
@@aaronsmith3484 I'll always love Ledger's Joker. He's the best actor and the best acting in the film. I will ALWAYS love Harvey Two-Face Dent he's my favorite character in the dark Knight film and I like Bale's Bruce Wayne. Gary Oldman is fantastic as James Gordon and Eric Roberts is good as the Italian mobster Maroni in The Dark Knight. A lot of good acting performances in this film.
It's not underrated, maybe overshadowed, but so was everyone else in this mvoie, including Oldman who was solid
1:05 Imagine this scene being with Jason Todd and his mother after being kidnapped and held hostage by The Joker. What if The Dark Knight did the Jason Todd Red Hood origin story but still with Heath Ledger as the Joker?
No, it isn't. Everybody likes Aaron's acting. Stop being a like beggar.
4:15 Hearing Harvey crying out to Rachel and furious at Batman for saving him instead of her is heartbreaking, even my heart suddenly stopped when the explosion began. It really isn't easy to let someone you love go...
she , harvey I do have an answer for you 4:11 i'm going with the Joker , harvey Screams No...No...No

Its a movie bro chill lmao
It was both funny and sad same time didn’t care much about rachel tho
2:25 when he tilts his head forward it’s just an iconic shot
It’s the Kubrick stare.
Same as 3:42.
Joker cracking his neck before going at it with the doorman is so hard
The editing made that scene too.
Guard: I know you’re gonna enjoy this, but I’ll make sure I enjoy it more”
*Joker cracks his neck* ‘fuckin bring it’
Doorman baber saw it coming😂
i also think joker isn't afraid of physical pain...just a hunch but he seems to have a high tolerance for it
Also peep the shard of glass right next to him after Batman bashed his head into the window earlier during the interrogation. He’s resourceful
What that guy don't know is this joker is a former military
Two face's acting was very underrated
Two Face's*
Two-Face's*
He is frankenstein.
yeah
I thought everybody rated him? This movie was 15/10
What’s mind blowing is that Rachel’s last thoughts at the end of her life could have been, “Bruce saved Harvey and not me because of the letter I wrote him telling him I was choosing Harvey”
Exactly. I feel like that element of this scene is vastly overlooked. There's many layers to what's going on here and it's a very bleak realization but most likely what she was thinking in her last moments. She may have really thought that Bruce did that in spite of her.
Never realized that before. What a great point
Ur a genius.
That would make no sense if Bruce was really upset over that he wouldn’t have save neither of them 🤣
She knows Bruce well enough that he wouldn’t let her die out of spite
4:18, it's quick, but you can just see the sadness in Batman's face and posture when he sees Dent instead of Rachel. I still remember the audience just going "Oh noooo..." when it's revealed that Joker swapped the addresses. It was a nice twist.
0:42 This guys acting was underrated, and I feel like he kept some of the tension going.
FearTheXI
Seriously. For such a small role he KILLED it. Wish he’d get more work.
@@_Cato_ Haha, Nolan is such a detailed director, even down to the background actors
Unless in Dark Knight Rises all extras were fuckin joke
Literally everyone in this movie excelled.
Likeee CHRistmassss ehheahah
The way Rachel just accepts it, the slight happiness in her voice knowing that at least harvey will live despite knowing she was done for. Superb acting.
Naw that bitch was just hiding the embarrassment. She was soo sure that she would be saved.
Joker said that people show who they really are at their last moment, rachel was happy Harvey was saved, i think if she really was a bitch like everyone says she would be angry and crying because nowone saved her
“I know they are but I don’t want them to” So selfless.
Yep precisely, Rachel would rather be the sacrifical lamb than have Harvey be blown to kingdom come. Not just happiness but also relief, knowing that it was Bruce/Batman who came to save him. Harvey mattered more to the people than her, due to his high campaigning to wipe the cities clean of criminal activities. But what's more depressing was that before her death, Rachel never realized that Harvey would take the loss very badly and become a psychotic vigilante, to take it out on those he felt were responsible for her death. I'm sure that Rachel would never want to see that happen at all. But as the Joker said during his conversation with Harvey in the hospital, it was all "part of the plan". Things only got worse as the story progressed... ending with the demise of Harvey "Two-Face" and Batman voluntarily covering up for his crimes, to keep Harvey's "white knight reputation" intact for the next 8 years.
No, she died thinking they would save her. She thought he was just freaking out. She was just trying to calm him down. Both of them thought they’d rescue her.
at 4:14, the look on Bruce's face says it all. the acting is so good that even with 80% of his face covered up you can see the devastated look on it.
He realized that the Joker tricked him.
@@RyanTheDark ya
I always thought "kudos Batman for only pausing about a second or two when you realize you're the butt of the most devastating joke of your life."
literally him :l
Its his body language too. Batman doesn’t hesitate. And here we see him freeze, even if it was a split-second.
Rewatching the movie you realize that Rachel thought Batman chose to save Harvery because of her letter. Which makes this scene that much sadder because in reality Batman wanted to save Rachel, but the Joker gave him the wrong address. What a movie, absolutely superb writing every time I rewatch it, I notice something new.
In that case, Rachel assume Batman was going to save her in the first place. And all along she is thinking that she can survive while Harvey will die? I don't think so.
that is truly sad
Fun fact: Christopher Nolan loves using practical effects so much that he actually lit Aaron eckhart on fire
Lol
"Fun fact"
The voice actor?
If you see Aaron in his recent films, you can see the make up covering his burned face. Amazing!
Lmfao
even how the guy with the phone inside him said "he said he'd replace the voices with bright lights". the joker didn't lie. those explosions were very bright.
😅LIKE CHRISTMAS 😅🎄
He's a man of his word
@@ninonino4747 And Agent of Chaos... Literally
Gonna say it since everybody is just talking about Rachel or the Doorman, Rest in peace to the the guy's who died trying to help the insane guy
i feel bad for that guy
Until today: this movie STILL is the BEST SUPERHERO MOVIE OF ALL TIME. A timeless masterpiece. Period.
And it isn't particularly close, either. It's so good it almost feels slanderous to call it a superhero film even, it belongs in the pantheon of great crime dramas like the godfather and goodfellas etc.
Kids now try to prop up The Batman or Endgame, but really neither of them come close to this movie's impact. Not just what it did for comic book movies but film in general.
@@sovereignsupreme8203 Finally someone who gets it. I have to add in X-Men 2 to complete the trio as well as the good X-Men films in general.
@@JunkFoodBoobooEndgame was more of a culmination of a decade of movies.
It was pretty good, but the main reason it gets hyped is that that brought back EVERY actor who played a hero in the entire MCU since Iron Man. Infinity War was a better movie (not just for the shocking ending).
The Batman was pretty good as well, but I don’t think it was ever supposed to reach the heights that Dark Knight did.
The Dark Knight, as well, was a good movie, but became even more hyped in the wake of Heath Ledger’s passing.
I’d like to think it still would have gotten good reviews, but probably not quite to the extent that it did because of that.
never been a superhero person at all but i’m not afraid to say this is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen
The way Heath worked Comedy into such a terrifying character is amazing. He made me laugh a few times throughout the movie. "I just want my phone call"
Even more hilarious when he become nurse. Wonder did nolan did the plan or heath just improve it from watching comedy
Do you wanna know why I use a knife.
"In their last moments, people show you who they really are. So in a way I knew your friends better than you ever did. Would you like to know which of them were cowards?"
Joker was such a boss. Cracked his neck right before going into boss mode.
Like you’re mom
I reckon he probably let the cop beat him first so that he thinks he's in control. Then the cop smashes his head against the glass and BAM! he picks a shard up and gets up like he did in front of Gambol.
And when Joker was about to death, when Batman threw him from the building, Joker just laughing

@@alexanderrmz9701 unbelievable
I actually find when Joker says, “I just want my phone call.” really hilarious. All the tension in that scene and Joker makes it funny. 3:06
For people wondering how Joker magically survived that explosion and everyone else died. That guy he was holding was a shield to protect him from the explosion
I don't think the folks in that room died, they simply got stunned. Because the dude who had a shard of glass to his neck is actually in later scenes, with a bandage in the area where the glass shard was.
It's still unrealistic but its unimportant enough to where it doesn't really matter
No... that guy survives you see him with a bandage on his throught trying to save Reese with Gordon
First of all he was anticipating it since he triggered the explosion, that alone gives him the ledge
Realistically it could be chalked up to, they were just further away. And that guy he was holding does survive (seen in later scenes) so it’s a mix of being farther away and having a shield.
Rachel: I wanna marry you
Harvey: NOOO!! NOOO, NOT ME!! WHY?? NOOOO!!! RACHEEEL!!! NOOOOOOOO!!!
Rachel: Harvey, it's okay...
In there last moments... People show them who they really are..

“How many of your friends have I killed” the way the joker says that so comfortably is so disturbing yet such great acting just small things like that really make the difference
Killing a guy’s friend must be like a walk in the park for him
6?
I thought I counted 23 deaths that Joker had a direct hand in, not including collateral damage. Like when the bomb went off at the MCU you know for sure that the 5 people standing around phone belly were dead so those count. There were probably more but since they weren't 'confirmed' I didn't include them.
"How many of your friends hhhaave I killed"
0:26 after he says "I'm a 20 year man," I love Joker's little condescending "impressed" facial expression
Great catch 😂😂😂😂
It looks like he’s about to break tbh 😂 like he’s about to start laughing
This WHOLE POWERFUL SCENE was to show how The Joker truly controls the entire game in his bare hands and when Batman finds Dent instead of Rachel, proved it. MASTERPIECE.

I love that Rachel was written as a proper character, even though they knew she'd be killed off in the film. So many films or TV shows would have given her a backseat, made her one dimensional or simply not be brave enough to kill off such an important character (within the trilogy, I know she's not from the comics)
She is bringing the suckes
@3:20 I’ve always wondered how awkward it would have been if Joker didn’t catch the phone lol
The saddest part here is that Rachel thought Bruce chose Harvey over her
How did she know it was Bruce or the police that saved him?
She prob realized that Joker tricked Batman into saving her. But she was relieved that Harvey the more important personnel was the one being saved, and so quietly accepted her fate. Then she was blown away to kingdom come.
@@Tanat83 Nah.. She was sure Batman was coming to save her.. You can see the disappointment in her face when she realized she was screwed

No one could stand Rachel. Nolan knew this. Se had to go.
That shard of glass he held to the guy's neck was on the ledge behind his head the whole time. Details.
yeah you're right all the times I've watched this movie I didn't notice wtf is wrong with me LOL
Oh shit I never noticed
The reason he pissed off Batman was so that he can slam his head against the glass and so retrieve a weapon to escape with.
yeah
vbgggfff but what if batman never slammed his head
I found Harvey Dent getting his face caught on fire after Batman pulls him out of an exploding building to be a lot more brutal in the Dark Knight than the classic getting acid thrown in the court room moment from the comics, this was very powerful and sad at the same time, it did an excellent job in setting him up to become Two-Face. I would put Aaron Eckhardt's performance up there with Christian Bale, Gary Oldman and Heath Ledger, he absolutely delivered big time.
Agreed. I’d even argue the original Two-Face origin should be this one.
Sadly, it's the one piece of really weak writing in the film. The heat from the fire on Dent's face would have scorched his lungs so respiration would have failed and he'd have died.
How you know
@@yewy100 Because that is what happens when you put your face close to extreme heat like a bomb blast.
@thewomble1509 so that's why a explosion can kill you not the blast but the fire it's self
At 4:44 the cops hold Gordon back because they knew he was going to go into the building to try and save Rachel (even though he thought it was Harvey) and they knew that it was a lost cause and that his life was more important. It's quick, but it's sweet and I love it.
Vira homem, porra
is it just me or the joker get offended everytime someone call him a "freak"?
No, he doesn't mind that. He hated being called crazy.
@@ThePopbanks007 no he definitely hated being called a freak. During the mob boss meeting scene when Gambol called him a freak, it threw off his entire rhythm, and he even tried to deny it.
Jokers final MO is he wants to prove the people on the boats are just like him but they aren't and Joker really is a lone freak who no one can understand
He doesn’t believe he is a freak he believes he is “ahead of the curve” he thinks he knows things that people that are considered NORMAL don’t .....so he is offended when people doubt his intelligence by simply calling it being a “freak”

Well, before telling Batman the locations, Joker says that, "KILLING is a CHOICE. Which one do you want to CHOOSE?". That is why he swapped the locations since Batman CHOSE Rachel.
You are right and he also says "you are going to have to choose if you want to SAVE one of them" which is why the Joker always wins no matter what. He has a backup plan. He planted BOTH the idea of choosing to kill and choosing to save.
Makes you wonder what Joker would have done to Rachel if they ended up saving Rachel and Dent had died…

This whole sequence from when the joker is chasing after Harvey in the tunnel to this is by far some of the best works in Hollywood history.. from the acting, pacing, action and tension… well done Christopher Nolan for this epic 20 minutes of theatre
The Joker tested Batman already at the party by dropping Rachel of the roof to see his reaction and if Rachel was his weak point.
Having the confirmation of this, he intentionally mixed up both adresses knowing that Batman would make in time to save one of them and not Gordon, only it was Dent instead of Rachel, Rachel died and Joker succeeded as our Hero got hit straight in the heart.
One last note, the adress is 250 52th Street. It's a palindrome and also it's spelled "two/fifty/fifty/two. For 2 choices, fifthy fifty percent. And for the last irony, Harvey Dent became Two Face after that. I figured this out after like 12 years. It shows how high and insane Christopher Nolan I.Q really is.
Wow, great pick up.
Don't forget his brother Jonathan as co-writer. The content of your films will be much better with 2 brains than one. Just like The Wachowskis.
damn one does learn something new everyday, good catch
This movie will always be in my heart.

@@rorschach4938 how bout a magic trick? lol.
The Joker said that people in their last moments show who they really are and Rachel was selfless and happy that Harvey got rescued which shows that she was a good person to her core.
Edit: Gotta love that some people are starting a small hate campaign against Rachel in the replies.
Reading this comment section just makes think of all the super little interesting things I missed
Yes she stupid I would have saved myself
yeah, and joker laughing while he falling off of a building at the end shows you who he really is.

It's impressive how much you can tell about a character just by using Joker's line about people in their last moments. Rachel was comforting to Harvey, the policeman who was held hostage told the other cops just to shoot him because it was his own fault that Joker got out.
Interesting observation.
This is one of the last great action films that also make you emotional for the characters involved, like T2 Judgement Day, Mad Max Fury Road, Aliens, etc. Truly one of the last "substance along with style" action blockbusters ever made.
THIS is how a character makes a perfect escape.
Step 1: Anticipate getting caught.
Step 2: Set a trap.
Step 3: Distract your captors.
Step 4: Spring the trap.
Step 5: Walk out the door.
A truly well written scene for any suspenseful story.
This is exactly how Raul Menendez escaped in BO2
They replicated this in Skyfall. Less successfully in my opinion because Silva's plan made no sense.
Step 6: Be in a fiction where the timing is always perfectly convenient and the odds are always in your favor.
C'mon, it's great, but let's not pretend this isn't a common trope.
How lau and joker escape the blast and no other policemen
Heath ledger is and will always be the best joker in my opinion

i've watched this masterpiece like 50 times. and it never gets old. Ledger displayed the greatest acting performance maybe of all time

The music score in this movie is so great...
That D violin note is the sign when the Joker is about to do something terrifying.
It's so unsettling.
Imagine thinking about yourself as a badass for 20 years and the joker subdues you in 20 seconds
Overconfidence at its finest.
"would u like to know which ones were cowards"?
@@romanramirez7847 I believe the term is hubris.
@@romanramirez7847 I don’t think it’s overconfidence. This is a seasoned cop, no doubt. It’s more of how Joker can really get under the skin of even the most veteran or the best of them, I mean just look at Harvey. All of them, good men with good intentions.
Well, if the long-standing theory about this Joker in fact being a former special force, or black ops soldier, was true, then it isn't that surprising that he overpowered a cop.
Rachel was so disappointed. This was like the ultimate rejection.
Será ydd
I mean, she was the one who rejected Bruce. She probably thought that was the reason why he saved Dent, since she didn't know Alfred actually burned the letter.
@@wilberts.cubero3629 wow i never thought about that before... lol
Rachel actually thought that Harvey rejected her saying "Yes"... BUT he later said "No, not me! Why are you coming for me??" which referred to Batman showing up to save him. It was what Rachel would've wanted, to have Harvey survive, so she can die in peace.
However, she never realized a few things... 1) Harvey was disfigured even though he was saved, 2) he went insane and took her death very hard, then went on a murdering spree as Two-Face, 3) Alfred would burn her letter to spare Bruce further pain, and 4) Batman would tell Gordon to hold him responsible for Harvey's appalling crimes and also be wanted for the apparent murder of Harvey, so as to preserve his heroic image.
@@Tanat83
She also didn't know that Joker lied to Batman about where she was so that he would save Harvey instead of Rachel.
I love the heroism of batman... going in and saving dent despite the risk of being burnt to a crisp
Eckhart's acting is so good here; you can really feel Harvey's literal and mental pain, as well that complete loss of spirit that turns him evil.
4:31 The sound in his voice and the way he says “RACHEL!!!”
Refusing to let her go or say Goodbye really hits you hard, what an underrated actor!
He was fantastic. He was really only overshadowed by the Joker. Eckhart = 9.9 Ledger = 10
@@livingtorture5745 he couldn't sell the character. Too soft and weak to be convincing. Aaron and Maggie made me dislike both their characters. They almost ruined the movie if not for joker and Batman going at it. Gordon was pretty good too.
RIP Heath Ledger (April 4, 1979 - January 22, 2008), aged 28
You will be remembered as a legend.
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
He was 27 when they filmed tdk
@@jovanlopez5284 it's incredible how young he was and played such a commanding role
There are many cases when an actors work is appreciated more after they pass away. But that can't be said for heath ledger. Even if he was alive there is no doubt his acting was out of this world. I can't take my eyes of the screen when he's on character, especially as Joker. Phenomenal.
The best villain on screen ever as heath ledger was truly brilliant and captured everything the joker was. No other person as a actor can compete with that as he raised the bar so high i doubt we will see anyone do a job that good for decades it was so special. What a dedicated actor he was and I wish he was around now he was that special a actor.
Before TDK, people used to say the same thing about Jack Nicholson. And since TDK, lots of people have preferred either Joachin Phoenix or Cameron Monaghan's takes over Ledger's.
Heath was great as the Joker, but his fanboys tend to go overboard with their praises.
Also, even if he only appeared in a post-credit scene and in a deleted scene, Barry Keoghan showed immense potential in his short screentime.
While watching him, I got the same tingles I got while watching Heath Ledger for the first time as Joker (in particular the scene where he confront the Gotham mob families), and Cameron Monaghan dropping the mask in front of Jim Gordon in *Gotham* ...

If you think about it Rachel thinks Bruce read the letter and she probably thought he only saved Dent only because he read the letter...
Well all tragedy aside, writing that letter is still a bitch move.
That's what Bruce probably thought in the next movie when he finds out Alfred burned the letter.
If Bruce read the letter than he is like let the both of them die ..😏
@@dontcopy3010 How do you come to that conclusion?
But I thought when she was gonna say “somebody” right before the explosion she meant Batman because she thought Dent was talking about the police when he said “no why are you here?”
"You see, in their last moments, people show you who they really are." That is absolutely true. Some bite their lips and suck it up and others die scared senseless.
I have a best friend, but if a bear were running after us, id run faster than her and try to escape.

@@karelquist4937 I've watched a human being die. Your tone is kind of hostile.
For moviegoers, this is great. For comic fans, this movie is on a whole new level. You see the fuel splashing over exactly half of Harvey’s face, and you just feel your heart drop.
The actors in this movie are PERFECT!!!! batman, joker, harvey, gordon, walter, mr. fox. I think hardly anybody can replace them in their corresponding roles!!!!!
Joker's monologue on why he likes to use knives is easily one of the most chilling and disturbing moments in film ever. You find yourself rooting for that cop to beat him to death even though you know he can't or won't.
maybe he really thinks like that but he was just manupulating that guard in that scene...
@《Philius Lupin》 cuz the joker is actually smart and good at fighting? Lol
no, YOU find yourself rooting for him. I find myself not being a sheep
@@spongmongler6760 agreed. I usually like the villains in stories more then the heroes
@@spongmongler6760 You find yourself being a potential psychopath who should seek out professional counselling.
I remember watching Dark Knight with my father... When the joker was caught in the middle of the film, my father thought that the movie was over XD... Then after this scene he realized that there's a bigger plot twist
Not gonna lie, when I first saw this in theaters I thought when the Joker was caught that the movie was over too.
The teaser trailers definitely fooled me into thinking that the action sequence with the Batmobile, Batcycle and the truck was going to be the finale.
I’m the father
I thought the bit after Rachael died was the end and when Rachael is reading the letter is what it ended on. A few years later I watched it and when I found out there is another hour left in the movie o was so surprised
she , harvey I do have an answer for you 4:11 i'm going with the Joker , harvey Screams No...No...No

2:28 I love that cops facial expression
He knows he’s making an awful decision but he simply accepts the fact that he can’t let that slide
Pretty honorable
This is one of those moments that some Batman media at times forget: Batman is human and he is capable of human emotions

@@Tanat83 yeah I think Rachel is an idiot
Any PTA movie >>> all Nolan movies combined. Still love you Nolan.
Hope we get character driven films like Prestige again instead of mediocrities that are released since
@@lickenhuntsman5338 ok Mr. Genius, no one mentioned PTA or even said Christopher Nolan is the greatest director so stop bieng smart.
Maggie Gyllenhaal did a phenomenal job at potraying Rachels final moments. I love the subtle panic in her eyes and face as she tries to keep cool while telling Harvey its okay; I think its very realistic; even though she clearly wants Harvey to live and tries to accept her death, she still must have felt an overwhelming amount of fear when she realized that she was going to die, as her self-preservation instinct kicks in.
And Batman proves true strength in this scene; I can't believe what pain he must have felt while he was dragging Harvey out, knowing that Rachel was most likely doomed, yet he is still able to keep a stoic composure to save Gothams Hero. Makes it all more tragic, when his belief in Harvey Dent doesn't pay off and Harvey is corrupted; its no wonder that the events of this movie broke Bruce.
i always knew from the start that harvey's gonna turn to two face but not sure how since the movie had a realistic take. it was when he fell to the floor with all the oil running that sent chills down my body
I love the cop just going, “It’s my own damn fault, just shoot him!” Gotta admit it’s admirable, even though he did fall for the Joker’s taunts.
Also, literally we got this dude’s “in their last moments” moment.

@@londomollari1082 yeah that’s what I thought
Joker says that he didn't plan things but he got himself thrown into that glass on purpose , so he could get the shard that he used to hold the cop hostage after he picked a fight with him. Heath Ledgers joker will always be one of the greatest movie villains of all time.
Yeah he says that for people to underrestimate him. He is so good at hiding his plans, everyone thinks he isnt planning things :D
I don’t think he “planned” this in the way say Batman “plans” things. Joker probably just thought it was a good idea and went for it.
@@bendavid4596 He planned the bank robbery and set up his accomplices to kill each other until he was the only one left lol. His one phone call from jail is what set off the bombs. If he didn't make that call , the bombs wouldn't have went off and Rachel would be alive / no Harvey two face aka corrupting Gotham's white knight.
@@jimmybones231 I don’t think you’re good at picking up things. The joker was a manipulative psychopath. He manipulates Harvey into thinking he’s not one to plan things to make it seem like he wasn’t responsible for Rachel’s death.
@@Callebravo what're you talking about lol this has nothing to do with what he said.
2:33 EMT: "He has some kind of contusion"... - shows huge laparotomy scar with obvious boxlike Implant
What I love about this scene is how Nolan shows just how scary smart the Joker is. The movie makes you think Joker has slipped up and got himself caught, and then in an orchestrated crescendo Nolan shows you that the Joker is both the conductor and composer. To top it off it all feels somewhat plausible for one person to plan, with some help of his henchmen. He plans to get caught, leads Batman to an interrogation, tells him about Rachel and Dent, gets him out of the way and then gets his phone call to trigger the bombs in the jail that he had surgically implanted into some poor fella and get himself locked in jail at the same time, which could have been Joker giving his henchmen instructions to put him in if the Joker's not back by a certain time. The same trigger is Dents and Rachels. He notices the shard of mirror behind his head, improvises and uses it to get what he wants. Possibly you could say it's not plausible that Joker could have timed it all so well, but he might have been able to plan how long it would take for the cops to get to Rachel, purposely placing Rachel further away than Dent and knowing the time was set from when he tells Batsy where they are. From there, he only has to make a call in the window of opportunity that he knows he has until the cops get to Rachel, because he purposely set it up for Dent to survive, or kill Batman trying to save Dent. Legally he had a right to his call. If he didn't make the call in the right time and the Rachel and Dent plan failed he would have still been able to escape the jail by making the call later.
First time I saw this scene I was on the edge of my seat. The soundtrack building up, the joker manipulating the guy and then Batman saving Harvey when he meant Rachel. God damn I love this movie.
Spot on, me too mate
Dent's pained cries kill me, man. Crying out for Rachel and then getting half of his face burned off, it sucks. Eckhart really sold it here, man. Underrated performance.
When Heath Ledger Played Like that it was hard for Eckhart to shine in this movie
totally agree

This clip from the film had everything; tension, anger, mind games, tragedy, sadness, action, explosions.
Film making of the very highest calibre
This scene alone conveys how ingenious and creative Christopher Nolan and his wife's work is, and together with Hans Zimmer's brilliant and dramatic score, that's how they made their prosperous empire of filmmaking. Thank you, Christopher Nolan, for your masterpiece contribution.
Fun fact: The glass shard that Joker is pressing against that cop’s neck was due to Batman smashing his face against the 1-way glass, further proving that Joker was manipulating Batman, and that when Batman gets pissed, he gets sloppy.
great catch

The fact about this scene is he may gave them whereabouts of their captivity. What took the icing off the cake was they were in different locations. That's the true work of a homicidal genius.
