    Is it the true origin of “me sucky sucky long time” or was it a well known saying before this movie? Like is the movie the source of the stereotype?

    When the camera focuses on each soldier’s face right before Joker puts the sniper out of her misery. Joker is absolutely terrified to kill a person. Animal Mother gives off a stoic appearance, but you can still detect a subtle shade of hesitancy. And finally Rafterman, as Shakespeare put it in *Macbeth*, was “…in blood / Stepped in so far that, should I wade no more, / Returning were as tedious as go o’er.” At that point, Rafterman was basically a demon and Kubrick and Kevyn Major Howard each did a fantastic job at visually reflecting that idea in the scene.
