@@Mylastavatar The gun shots in that movie actually made me jump Which is weird. I see gunfire in movies all the time. But in Joker I felt like I was watching something real. It enhanced the tension.
“Sorry mom!” ...anyone noticed how concerned the tone of his voice sounded? ...that little detail made me even more sad, how attached he was to his mother. You can tell too by how many times he mentioned her in public. Heartbreaking. Genius acting, genius movie...
One thing that never makes sense is that if penny was found guilty of endangering Arthur how did he end up back in her custody? Plus, when she’s in the ambulance, the medic asks him when the last time he spoke to her he said I don’t know. Possibly he never lived with her either
Hopefully the same can happen for the masterpiece Joker film. Maybe an hundred from now movies and history instances of violence will be looked down on and ignored but I doubt it. Extraordinary talent is never forgotten by humans. Not for millennia anyway.
The "aaaa aaahhh" along with the "waa waa waaaahh" timed perfectly with the up beat tempo made that Joker scene more uncomfortable along with his look and his stance. The apartment and the lighting also helped make that scene so greatly disturbing... I loved every bit of that scene. Such an amazing film!
Back during The Great Depression, music is what lifted the heavy hearts and weakened souls of the people who endured hardships and pain brought forth by the stock market crash in October of 1929. Today, the noise that they call "music" doesn't do a thing for me, except give a jarring headache! Fred Astaire was influential and had a big part in morale-boosting, so to speak...so when you're feeling blue at midnight, sit back and let these men sing about the reality of the world and what needs to be done for a change to bring happiness, let their voice ring in your ears! Let Fred's tapping beat and sophisticated rhythm fill your heart and soul, let despair float away, tell misery to go! SLAP THAT BASS!
I remember it so well. I'm an old soul myself and I immediately noticed that that was Fred Astaire. When I turned to my friend and I asked him "is it weird that I know who's in that old movie?" He said "Yes. Yes it really is Manny" 🤣
Really interesting thought, I cant really unsee this now when thinking of the scene and how he is interacting with himself, It makes so much sense. Glad you posted this
I almost saw the scene as Arthur "playing with fire" for the first time and just barely getting his toes wet into dangerous temptations, but what you said about Joker intervening especially considering the dialogue in this scene makes so much more sense
@@michaelpenka4692 I realized when I'm watching on my second time, I also watched some reviews about this movie. So it's not really my opinion. But I prefer that.
Something I noticed when you mentioned that this would be the first time that the personality of "Joker" ... When he is dancing in the room while watching this scene on the tv, Arthur shoots the wall while he's holding the gun in his left hand. Later on we see him sitting at the table writing jokes, "the worst thing about having a mental illness is that people expect you to behave as if you don't." ... Arthur writes those words using his left hand... And later on the subway... when he kills the final banker, he is once again shooting while holding the gun in his left hand. so it could seem that the left side of Arthur is the side that is associated with madness. Maybe I'm just over analyzing things but I think it lines up well with what you were saying
i am a percussionist, and I think that if a tap dancer on this level like Fred Astaire was given a hand drum, he would have phenomenal timing and nuanced fills! Like if you can have that extreme detailed level of nuanced timing with your feet carrying a shoe, imagine what you could do with your free fingers that are 10 times lighter and have way more dexterity! Also each foot can do only 2 points of contact your heel and your sole (maybe the sides?), where as one hand has 7 points of contact the 5 fingers , your boney edge of your palm and the fleshy part of your palm thumb. so 2 hands has 14 points of CONTACT! Now imagine if he already has such good control with jus 2 feet what he could do with 2 hands!
Que dire sur Fred Astaire : il est pour moi le plus grand danseur du monde. Ceci a été dit par le chorégraphe classique Georges Balanchine Balanchine quand on lui avait posé la question dans un magazine français : "pour moi (sans trop hésiter) il répondit que le plus grand danseur mondial pour lui était sans nul doute Fred Astaire .
3:24 sounds a lot like the scene in Joker where he's in bed after seeing his set from Pogo's on the Murray Franklin show (in Penny's hospital room). It's a shot from above the bed, which BTW has two sets of pillows and a headboard for two people. This is that decorating-the-stuff-out-of-frame thing that pervades this movie. I can't think of another movie I've ever seen with such depth of detail. It's like somebody gave the Coen Brothers a hundred million dollars to paint in all the little details that they always wanted to. Joker is edge-to-edge in every frame with these kinds of details. Did anyone else notice that there is a graffiti line drawing that looks like Trump in the foyer of Arthur & Penny's apartment building? There are silhouettes on the great, sisyphean stairway the first time we see it that prefigure the iconic, Gary Glitter dance scene literally hours later. The pretty neighbor, who I don't think is named in the movie itself, in the credits is named Sophie Dumonde - wisdom of the world. And on and on and on... When I first saw it I didn't understand why I was so deeply engaged by a movie that didn't ask any mind-blowing questions. Now I get it - the questions are simple, yes, but they are critically important right now, and Joker is probably the best movie anyone could have possibly made to ask these questions in this way. Big kudos to everyone who worked on this movie!
Don't give a fuck if people think the Joker is overrated, I'm so happy to see it make people look up old great songs like this one, same way I'm so happy Bendy and Cuphead made people more interested in Depression Era animation and jazz music.
@@mrspolnareff3621 it’s a reference from the “joker” movie that came out a couple years ago. A lot of people discovered or rediscovered this song through that movie.

From 03:28 to 04:24 : doesn't it sound like Fred Astaire dancing to Techno Music in 1937 ? I'm surprised that part hasn't been sampled yet... Besides I'm here from Joker too, especially because I realized there's here another sample used this time in a classic hip-hop track : Run DMC feat. Pete Rock & CL Smooth's "Down With The King" !
The scene in Joker where Arthur is dancing to this is played as a comedic moment, but there's also something deeply disturbing hidden beneath. Think about it...

@@Emanthebald A lot of the dance moves performed during the tap dancing segment of this video seem to inspire Arthur's dancing later in the movie after he goes full Joker.
I'm sure the black actors appearing in this video were outstanding singers, musicians and tap dancers and as good as Fred Astaire, and would have loved to perform here if they had been given a chance back then.. I would have loved to see them in action with Fred Astaire in this video too.
Just realised it after watching the Joker movie !! Pete Rock and other DJ's from that era (DJ Premier, Eric B., JMJ...) definitely had a deep musical culture !

not to be annoying but it's on my channel
This song is amazing the guy in this song was out of a old film called tower inferno and i heard the song from joker
Okay, all Joker references aside, Fred Astaire is a phenomenal dancer!!!
@Unprofessional Matters I loved
I can see where Arthur learned how to dance.
He doesn't hold a candle to the Nicholas Brothers.
I almost jumped out of my chair when they played this on "Joker"! Love it
Me too!
Really
Really I would've jumped out of my chair after Author woking up from unconscious and started smiling with blood coming from his nose and mouth.

@@mollyoxy Or...Not :)
@@mollyoxy he found out he was abused by her boyfriend and that she wasn't his real mother, at that moment he felt nothing towards her

WHat I heard was her odmination over his life, that the voice he adopts is that of a childs apologetic.
That was genius

An amazingly enough it has nothing to do with their singing or dancing talent either!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@911axe Long term it's a cultural landmark, reflecting of our current times. Historians will dissect it for it's value.
The all Hollywood history best ever DANCER! FRED ASTAIRE!
that scene with the machinery making a beat was SOOO ahead of its time. damn.
Fred Astaire's timing is incredible; the way he syncs his taps to the machinery perfectly is awesome. Not hard to see why he's a legend.
The "aaaa aaahhh" along with the "waa waa waaaahh" timed perfectly with the up beat tempo made that Joker scene more uncomfortable along with his look and his stance. The apartment and the lighting also helped make that scene so greatly disturbing... I loved every bit of that scene. Such an amazing film!
0:16 to 1:00 really gives the vibe of The Joker
The "like" was for your username 😆 👍
Astaire was so ahead of the times! This is such a cool tap routine
@Daisy...Agreed. He was poetry in motion. Something about his dancing that puts him in a league all to himself.
"Hey whats your name?"
"Arthur"
"Hey Arthur your a really good dancer"
"You knows who's not? HIM"

One of my favorite scenes,
This sequence is from the 1937 film "Shall We Dance" and it's available for free on CZcams.
It's an old war movie.
Joker reminded me of my grandmother watching this movie. She had the four movie set. This, Swing time, Top Hat, and one more. The name escapes me
The Gay Divorce?
I remember I had a four set that was this, too just follow the fleet and carefree was it that?

When Arthur dancing with a gun 😍😘
