warning to society at large and elites in particular

Rating: 8/10 (6 December 2019)

I can see why people are upset and conflicted about the Joker. Can you sympathize with a man at the edge of sanity, who is treated like trash, and who goes full psycho criminal due to the way society deals with him?
At the same time, he is punching holes through the insane inequality of modern societies across the world. Do not think for one second the system some of us hold dear is solid rock. Revolutions have been started by men like Arthur, when his madness reaches out and seems like sanity to the oppressed masses.
This movie shows once again what a genius Joaquim Phoenix is, and should serve as a stark warning to society at large and elites in particular.
