Welcome to the Director Project! A monthly playlist series where creators from all across film Youtube make a bunch of video essays analyzing a chosen director. For January 2021, we're looking at Christopher Nolan!
In the age of the sympathetic villain, why is Heath Ledger's Joker still the king? We've had some of the most complex and compelling blockbuster villains put to screen in the past decade and a half, from Thanos, to Kylo Ren, to Killmonger, to Joaquin Phoenix's Joker - and they all share a deep tragic backstory and sympathetic motivation.... Except for Joker from Christopher Nolan's THE DARK KNIGHT, a villain so chillingly devoid of sympathy. He's two dimensional, pure evil with no to speak of. So why do we still love him, even today?
