This article we’re going to be going over DC’s latest comic book movie: Joker and why all of the clocks in the film are set to 11 minutes past 11.
This motif pops up at several times throughout the movie and in this, we’re going to be breaking down why this could be as well as what Director Todd Phillip’s and star Joaquin Phoenix’s have said about the theory.
There will be heavy spoilers here, so if you haven’t had a chance to watch the film yet and don’t want anything ruined then I highly recommend that you turn off now. The last thing we wanna do is wipe the smile off that face so this is your last chance to back out.
With that out the way, I just wanna give a huge thank you for clicking this, now let’s get into our breakdown of why all of the clocks in Joker are set to 11:11.
Joker Clocks Theory
Throughout Joker, almost every time a clock is seen it points to the time 11 minutes past 11. This seems pretty deliberate and though Todd Philips denies this has any meaning behind it, it pops up far too often to be just a coincidence unless someone on the set is just really really lazy.
The first instance that this happens in is during Arthur’s meeting with his psychiatrist. Sat in her office he talks about his mental state as well as the journal of jokes that he has been keeping. Whilst the hiiiiiilarious jokes in there are what caught our attention first time round, when rewatching the movie on the back wall of the Psychiatrist’s office you can see a clock set to 11 minutes past 11. Though this doesn’t seem like anything special during the conversation, the talk-back and forth moves to Joker’s time in Arkham Asylum and we do a quick cut to him trapped within a cell, banging his head against the wall. In the top right, in a similar position to the psychiatrist’s office, we can clearly see another clock set to the exact same time.
Now, I’ll get into what I think this means later but to me, this is set like this, at the same time, on purpose in a similar position for a very specific reason.
The Meaning Of The Clocks In Joker
Now if we go above an beyond in our research then the numbers 11:11 have a very special meaning to them that dates back over the centuries and has been present in our culture for a very very long time.
This is because in the King James Bible, Chapter and Verse 11:11 the following passage can be found:
“Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will bring evil upon them, which they shall not be able to escape; and though they shall cry unto me, I will not hearken unto them.”
This pretty much sounds like it is referring to Joker directly who is very much getting revenge on a city and people that he views as wronging him which we see throughout the film. Those who’ve seen the movie ‘Us’ by Jordan Peele may also remember that 11:11 pops up throughout that movie and it is referring to the same thing that I believe the Joker movie is hinting at.
All In Joker’s Mind?
Anyway, another theory that seems to be gaining weight because of the time on the clocks throughout the movie is that the events of the film, on the whole, may be taking place predominantly in Joker’s head.
