A MASTERPIECE

Rating: 1/10 (8 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix's performance is different. He is over acting some times. Phoenix is not being true to the character. He is what he is because what he experienced. The childhood trauma and the time he spend in the asylum. If He is out in the society because he is fit to do so. The seven medication doesn't seem to have a bit of effect on him.
After the metro incident he is breaking a chain to free himself from what the society need him to be. There is no change in his ways. The character didn't evolve. He is same at the beginning and at the end.
Seventy percent of the film's screen time is dedicated to Arthur Fleck. All the other characters are ill written, only to support him. They all lack a soul. Even Robert deniero disappoints us. He lost his aura somewhere in the nineties.
The film is spoon feeding us. The viewers are not idiots we know what realism is. The scene where he realizes the character Sophie is his figment of imagination is an utter failure. Apology to Andrei tarskovski. And the scene he is showing fatherly affection towards Murray is like a worst of the worst psycho moment.
After the incident of metro killings, the plot loses its grip. I clearly couldn't define what happening and why. The script hides in the smoke of violence. That is too disturbing to watch. And I forget to mention the letter. A Pathetic turn of the film. The film 'saw' is better than this.
I hate the communist tone used in the film. By showing us a glimpse of modern times, Todd Phillips making a point. The joker is saying he is not political. It is kind of a doublespeak. In fact the film is a doublespeak. Creating chaos without the intention of creating one. The poor class killing the rich for the societies inequality.
What I loved in the Christopher Nolan's joker is his philosophy. He is an agent of chaos. He like to watch the world burn. While the Batman is an agent of order. He may be a clown but he is deep inside. The Nolan's joker can make an elaborate plan and execute it efficiently. But Philp's joker is mere a delusional shallow clown. I ask myself, Why the movie is called 'Joker'. Remove the names of Wayne family and give them another names. Replace Gotham by Manhattan. The result will not be a DC joker instead it will give us a psycho clown movie. Todd Philips used an icon for his own gain.
A predictable ending. Giving the society a false message.for what? The film is not worth it. Yes, it is a masterpiece. Whisper it a trillion times, may be it will became one.
