WOW!!! "JOKER" what can be said that hasn't already?
It's an instant CLASSIC & a true masterpiece of cinema with one of the greatest performances in cinema history too from the incredible JOAQUIN PHOENIX & another great performance from the legendary Robert De Niro!!!
This movie i can relate to & i think lots of people will to, it's a powerful film & I've felt like how he feels & mental illness is an extremely hard thing to live with especially in a cold dark & nasty world like it is!!!!
A mesmerising movie!!!
The music was fantasticly moody & the cinematography was outstanding & captured the old fashioned gritty, grimy & crime infested & decaying Gotham city of 1981!!!
This Brilliant movie was part Psychological Drama & part Dark Crime Thriller, it was a mesmerising viewing & pretty much incredible in every single way!!!
I got vibes of old school greats such as Charles Bronson's 1974 Urban vigilante Thriller DEATH WISH, I also felt vibes from Martin Scorsese's 1976 Physiological Vigilante Thriller TAXI DRIVER & I'm sure there's other's that felt similar in look & story.
I felt "Joker" really did feel like a movie made in the 70's or very early 80's as that much care was MADE in the details & grimy urban tuxture of every location, i felt dirty just watching it & that's how well crafted & expertly made this Masterpiece was.
Joaquin Phoenix is Phenomenal as Arthur Fleck the struggling Comedian with an extremely sad & horrific past, he also suffers really bad with his mental health & has a condition of severe laughter when nervous or upset, it's an astonishing performance a raw piece of acting on screen that is shocking & full of realism!!!
This movie felt real & feels like it can happen & has happened & will happen as it's darkness & themes are so relevant today...now!!!
I totally enjoyed this modern masterpiece & totally agree with all the huge praise this got & the awards it won. Truly OUTSTANDING piece of filmmaking that made me feel emotional & sorry for what Arthur has gone through in his terrible life but also how he goes isn't the best way but again it's totally understandable & i bet his actions will continue debate for years!!! A stone cold gritty Classic
