1
00:00:00.110 --> 00:00:03.010
- I'll be honest, "Joker" was
probably the longest movie

2
00:00:03.010 --> 00:00:05.330
I've ever seen mostly
because I fell asleep

3
00:00:05.330 --> 00:00:08.630
while watching it on hm,
19 different occasions

4
00:00:08.630 --> 00:00:12.888
bringing the total runtime to
somewhere around 200 hours.

5
00:00:12.888 --> 00:00:14.737
- [Man] Three, two

6
00:00:14.737 --> 00:00:15.849
(movie reel whirring)

7
00:00:15.849 --> 00:00:18.808
(upbeat music)

8
00:00:18.808 --> 00:00:21.630
- There are hella spoilers in this.

9
00:00:21.630 --> 00:00:23.530
In Todd Phillips' "Joker,"
Joaquin Phoenix plays

10
00:00:23.530 --> 00:00:25.210
sad man-clown Arthur Fleck.

11
00:00:25.210 --> 00:00:26.610
Making life even more impossible

12
00:00:26.610 --> 00:00:29.700
than Gotham's notoriously
corrupt rich versus poor society,

13
00:00:29.700 --> 00:00:31.820
Arthur has a condition
that makes him laugh a lot.

14
00:00:31.820 --> 00:00:34.653
(Arthur laughing)

15
00:00:36.170 --> 00:00:37.980
One day, some dude beat
him up so naturally

16
00:00:37.980 --> 00:00:39.420
a co-worker gives him a gun.

17
00:00:39.420 --> 00:00:41.550
Later, Arthur loses his
job because the gun pops

18
00:00:41.550 --> 00:00:43.270
out of his pants in a children's hospital

19
00:00:43.270 --> 00:00:44.957
and everyone is like, "OMG!

20
00:00:44.957 --> 00:00:47.370
"Why did you bring a gun
to a children's hospital?"

21
00:00:47.370 --> 00:00:49.410
On the subway home, Arthur gets pissed off

22
00:00:49.410 --> 00:00:51.410
with some businessmen
who are harassing him

23
00:00:51.410 --> 00:00:53.460
and another passenger so he kills them.

24
00:00:53.460 --> 00:00:55.007
On the news, Batman's dad is like,

25
00:00:55.007 --> 00:00:57.440
"We must stop being mean to billionaires"

26
00:00:57.440 --> 00:00:58.990
which prompts a group
of working class people

27
00:00:58.990 --> 00:01:01.480
in clown masks to rise up and protest.

28
00:01:01.480 --> 00:01:03.840
After he blows his stand-up
gig, Arthur's made fun of

29
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:06.060
by a TV show host and later learns

30
00:01:06.060 --> 00:01:08.340
that he might be adopted
and the rage it incites

31
00:01:08.340 --> 00:01:10.260
causes him to kill his co-workers.

32
00:01:10.260 --> 00:01:12.290
As clown protests ravage Gotham,

33
00:01:12.290 --> 00:01:14.480
Arthur goes on television where he decides

34
00:01:14.480 --> 00:01:15.700
to kill the TV show host.

35
00:01:15.700 --> 00:01:18.220
In the future, Arthur laughs
to himself in an asylum

36
00:01:18.220 --> 00:01:20.500
and tells his therapist
she wouldn't get why

37
00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:22.680
which is basically what Phillips said

38
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.840
to everyone who suggested
his movie might inspire

39
00:01:24.840 --> 00:01:27.581
other sad clown-men to kill people too.

40
00:01:27.581 --> 00:01:31.033
(ticking)
(swishing)
