The Man Who Laughs on YouTube

[Kevin Roegele]

The movie that inspired the Joker is now on YouTube. Just search for 'The Man Who Laughs (1928)'. It's damn creepy-!

 

[CrAzYMoFo]

Nice find. I'm 20 min into it and so far it's pretty good.

 

[Rockbottom]

Oh cool i'll watch that later. How long is it?

 

[frodawgg]

it's a damn good movie

 

[Kevin Roegele]

The weird thing is, Bob Kane never gets any of the usual 'rip-off' criticism.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Kinda like how Indiana Jones is a rip of Secret of the Incas and Gunga Din.

 

[Acid Snowman]

It was Bill Finger who came up with the idea of using Gwynplaine as the model for the Joker. He apparently resembled a traditional clown in Kane's early drawing.

Watched the first 'part'. Seems good. Classic.

 

[Acid Snowman]

Anyone notice in part three how is drawer has has the two masks of comedy and tragedy emblazened on it? Because he's funny on the outside, sad on the inside! I love all the symbolism on these old films.

[Optimus Prime.]

I've heard a lot about this movie from a friend of mine and I'm just dying to see it.

There ought to be a remake of this...

[Kevin Roegele]

There ought to be a remake of this...

You're a Hollywood exec, admit it-!! t:
