Quentin Tarantino on Joker

AI Is crazy

What Tarantino obviiusly didnt get, is that it is not about a comedian vs lunatic, but that Deniro symbolizes the system supressing the simple man. That makes the audience wanting him dead in that scene cuz they feel throughout the movie something arising in them they couldnt adress before and at that point the whole anger channels itself through joker into rage. It say a lot about the times we live in💥

Meh. No. Joachim was excellent. But The Joker is not great a film. The Taxi driver/king of comedy similarities were so obvious and distracting (as was Ad Astra like QT mentions…the apocalypse now parallel was just so obvious it took me out of the movie). I was not riveted by the talk show scene. DiNiro was totally miscast. I didn’t buy his character at all. You could see DiNiro acting. It was a really weak superficial performance. Like he thought he was in a “comic book movie”. And the director was too weak to challenge him, pull him back from his hammy overacting. And I was trying to understand why joker out of nowhere started acting so effeminate. It was a weird choice that bore no relationship to the character in the rest of the film. And the shooting was totally telegraphed and obvious. Not shocking.

I don't agree with Tarantino. I didn't want Joker to shoot all these people. But I'm really glad he got the opportunity. And took advantage of it. That's not being a mad cruel person. That's being a challenge solver. 🤡

The Joker sucked. Propaganda ridden. And in the end, the Joker was a cowardly pussy.

Tarantino complaining about copying films is peak irony.

thanks for spoiling the talk show scene, video editor

Does nobody realize that the joker isn't an original movie at all?

It's really not a great movie, it's okay, it's overrated, and that is a good scene. At the same time, I also thought Once upon a time in Hollywood was massively overrated as well.

I didn't like Joker too much when I had seen it (in a packed theater), but Quentin is absolutely right about the talk-show scene. And granted, that was pretty brilliant. I still have to watch Joker a second time as to this point I am still not convinced that it is indeed a good picture.

I wish that Quentin would use this skill to force us into loving in the ways we are unconsciously capable rather than in the ways we are unconsciously capable of hating.

I didn't want him to kill him, but I could feel the movie nudging me that direction.

I'm not sure Quentin knows what he is talking about. I think he may be over rated in analysis of film in general

Joker was one of the stupidest movies ive ever seen.

Tarantino = 1 decent movie. The rest; overrated meh.

Joker totally ripped...Travis Bickle

Hated this movie. One note movie. Or maybe half note movie. Dark knight trilogy was dark so let’s go way darker and make it retro. The only reason to like that scene was because it was at the end and you could be happy it was over. Such a joke that Phoenix won the oscar over DiCaprio.

When I saw this in the Theater. People laughed anytime he had his illness show. Very telling...

His complete and utter lack of self-awareness is unbelievably ironic!

i remember the theater air felt like it had electricity in it.

overrated from start to finish

I can't imagine QT has gotten a hand job. Ever. From anyone but himself. Which seems fitting.

What does Ad Astra have in common with Apocalypse Now? Annihilation is tarkovsky’s Stalker works better

"are all movies now pop cultural artifacts?" mean while, Tarantino's entire film career... 😅

I was so pumped for this movie i went to the theatre alone to see it, I've maybe done that one other time in my 32 years of life, and it was an experience. From the gasps of when he bashes Randalls head in, to the chuckle when he scares Gary and Gary cant reach the lock so Arthur thanks him for being kind and kisses him on the head, at the end people were silent leaving, very cool to experience in a Crowd and on the Big Screen

"Is this where we are now, where we take great movies from the 70's and redo them..."
But that's what you do, Quentin....

Yes

I wanted the Joker to pull out a magic wand, shout "I am a wizard!" and turn the talk show host into a puppy.

That was probably one of the best scenes, if not one of the only good scenes in the movie. And you don’t have to be a psycho to have wanted that outcome. He was beyond a bully and was doing it to him to an infinite audience, so the joker leveled the playing field in literally the only way a “small” person like him could do against someone “big” in a position like Robert. There are consequences, and I think the consequences matched the act.

Eh, I don't think Tarantino fully understands how much of the audience walked into the theatre with a deep resentment for the politico-entertainment class.

Joker was lame. The true essence of the Joker is only revealed when in relation to Batman. Remove Batman and you just have another mentally distraught individual, which I don’t need to watch a 2 hour movie for, I can just go to my local grocery store.

Quentin here kissing ass

Joker is an awful movie. It's not deep or profound or at all original. Kids, don't waste your time on this trash and go watch Taxi Driver instead.

I've seen takes from both sides about The Joker about how it's either just derivative slop from the haters or some masterpiece by the fanboys. My take on the film, and I think QT kinda says something similar, is that it's an okayish movie that has one AMAZING scene in it. The haters can only see the parts of the movies that are obviously riffing from other, better films while the fanboys are basing the entire film around that one great scene.

I found it interesting that he excoriated others about ripping off movies from the 70s when that's been his entire career. Not very self-aware.

I think Quentin Tarantino takes drugs and/or alcohol

How about QT on Weinstein ?

Quentin Tarantino should be happy if he delivered a movie like that, which he hasn't in the last 20 years.

I think his revolver in the train scene fired seven rounds with no reload. But that’s minimal.

Or somebody else rabbiting away and quentin giggling away in the background.

maybe its a little more than that

The screen being bigger means you pay more, not that you get more.

Why did interviewer had to put Quentin in a well?

Yes. It's the same as when the car doesn't sink in the swamp in Psycho, 1960. The audience flips and sides with the killer, it's not new, this subversion, it's just rare that people craft like that these days.

He's right. Joker makes everyone end up taking the side of the Joker, because we see the world through his eyes.
I loved seeing Joker in the cinema. I don't really want to buy it, but I do want to watch it again.
