no copyright infringement intended. The movie is not mine, the reactions are not mine, only the hard work, time, and dedication of putting this all together is mine. I wouldn't call myself a hero, cause what's a hero? But sometimes, there's a man

I love those moments when younger people say, "So this is where that's from. I never knew." always makes me chuckle.
-
I like to think that Pyle spared Joker because, even in his broken mental state, he knew Joker was the only one who showed him any sort of kindness.
-
When you break a man, the only power he has left is destruction. Treat people decent, fellow humans.
-
Kubrick made himself an enemy of the sentimentality, predictability and over-explanation in movies he saw during his formative 1940's-50's. The irony is that today's young generation has been raised on franchise/Disney/Marvel/Netflix films that tell you exactly what to think, feel and make of a given situation. But that only makes films like FMJ hit them that much harder. 💥
-
The fact that we had no time to process what happened before the next scene which takes place months in the future is brilliant filmmaking. The tonal shift is immediate and abrupt which shouldn't work but it does. It kinda helps us through that tragic and horrific moment.
-
Vincent D'Onofrio is an amazing actor. Even at that young of an age.
-
I'd like to think that the last thing that went through his head, other than that bullet, was to wonder how the hell Andy Dufresne ever got the best of him.
-
Joker saw war before he got to Vietnam.
-
This was D'Onofrio's very first movie role.
-
To say Kubrick was a genius is an incredible understatement.
-
Thank you for including the transition to Vietnam. It's a real stark contrast between the two scenes.
-
This is one of those movie scenes that sticks with you
-
vince was only in the early part of the movie but this placed him on a map. damn great actor
-
It wasn't until I started watching reactions that I truly realized how much of a mood whiplash the transition between the two halves of the movie was. Terrific compilation as always.
-
For those who are wondering, firewatch is just another way of saying night patrol. It's called firewatch because the Romans would patrol the outskirts of their military encampment while torches were burning to indicate the boundaries.
-
Imagine seeing this in a movie theater full of people in 1987...❤
-
People sometimes don't get that this is Joker's movie, and this is how Joker breaks, he just breaks in a much subtler way than Pyle does.
-
LMAO Dasha looks completely shell shocked and then the "everything you want" line is delivered and she's looks like, "uhhhhh WTF" I got such a kick out of that for some reason.
-
That transition is masterful. it perfectly highlights an utter indifference to tragedy.
-
The tonal shift with the time jump was brilliant. It's like a magician's trick. You see something so horrifying, so psychologically traumatic, then BAM we're in Vietnam and the music kicks in, and it's a "comedic" scene that gives the audience time to digest what we just saw. This movie is not one I rewatch often, but it haunted me the first time for sure.
