The Joker Murray scene — you know the one we’re talking about. It is a devastating piece of cinema and a masterclass in how to write and direct suspense, tension, and sudden violence. In this Joker video essay, we’re going to put ourselves in Todd Phillips’ shoes as we reverse-engineer what made the “Joker kills Murray scene” so gripping and thrilling.

On its own, the Joker Murray scene still exhibits a fair amount of tension. However, in the context of the rest of the movie, it is an absolute powder keg waiting to explode. Everything in this movie has been building towards this moment — a key ingredient to any climactic finale. We’ve seen Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) idolize Murray Franklin (Robert De Niro) and dream of one day appearing on the show. And then we saw Arthur’s humiliation when Murray mocks his comedy routine, shattering that dream and sending him on a path of destruction.

As the scene begins, the lighting and camera work emulates a traditional talk show — flat lighting, wide shots, etc. The conversation begins innocently enough but when that turns, so does the visual style. Suddenly, we jump the 180-degree line and frame Joker and Murray from behind. The coverage includes intimate close-ups but also more objective wide shots to include the audience and the TV cameras broadcasting live.

And the tension builds. When Joker kills Murray Franklin, it is the ultimate punctuation. Despite the gruesome violence, we’re almost relieved to be rid of the unbearable anticipation. Which is precisely what director Todd Phillips was aiming for. The Joker Murray scene isn’t for the faint-hearted but if you can disengage from the violence, there is a lot to study in screenwriting, cinematography and film directing.
