A movie that will stay with you

Rating: 9/10 (17 December 2019)

I am not sure what I was expecting when I sat down to watch this movie. I heard a lot of hype about how some people had walked out of the theatre half an hour in as it was too disturbing. They probably walked out as it was a deeply moving portrayal of the Joker and not your typical Marvel adventure. Joaquin's performance was outstanding, definitely his best to date. The soundtrack hit the mark, especially the staircase scene where the Joker first reveals himself in all his grotesque glory with the Glitter band playing for added punch. This is a view on the sate of society in where there are people in pain and suffering who are left to their own devices, to fend for themselves when the rest of the world has let them down. There is a poignant truth to this story which is what stays with you. Joaquin deserves an Oscar for his portrayal of the Joker. This is method acting at it's best.
