Award Material - Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2019)

I avoided this film for some time due to an aversion to violence (thinking more about needless comic book violence) but today, with a storm blowing hard outside, I watched it.
Not at all what I expected and certainly not always easy to look at (and not due to the scenery or lighting which were both very skilled).
Others may describe the excellent technicalities of the film but I'd like to add a more sociological aspect. We, society, never learn do we? It goes round and round; in this case class warfare, deliberately ignorant government, mockery of those who suffer and the self-righteousness of the elite.
Well Joker shows us the consequences and as history holds it is always a form of revolution, in this case violence and mayhem in the streets of Gotham.
How reflective of today's world.
Not to be watched for light entertainment, this is a serious movie.
