Unbelievable movie!!

Rating: 10/10 (17 May 2020)

I'm a psychiatrist so my perspective is just different. I have to say this movie was so brilliant.
From the acting to the character development to the contribution to the entire Batman franchise, this was just absolute perfection. I think people who don't like it are ones who don't understand mental illness. The acting is impeccable and realistic. The story line with the character development is nothing less then perfection. Amazing and well done. To have the joker suffer from pseudobulbar affect is splendid. Amazing director, producer, and actor. It's dark and disturbing but just brilliant and realistic. Mental illness is ignored in this world. If you don't acknowledge it then it doesn't exist in your mind but that couldn't be further from the truth. Unfortunately we are all human and all suffer from emotional responses leading to emotional reactions. Mental illness is real. Embrace it, understand it, treat it, and seek out a mental health professional who can help. I'm not sure how you can make a movie any better then this. It gives you so much background and fills in so many gaps and unknowns. It perfectly exemplifies how the joker became the joker. There is no actor that could have done better then this. I can't say enough about how every part Of this movie was done to perfection. Amazing work. Amazing movie. Arthur was believable and realistic. Mental illness is real. Fund it, acknowledge it, treat it.
