A Contemporary Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (4 October 2019)

The character portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix, Arthur Fleck, allows the viewer to deeply understand the frustration and pain carved into the heart of a corrupt and unequal society member, that struggles to be accepted by others because of his distorted view of life. As the movie develops itself through the analysis of a chaotic city and the construction of a melancholic soundtrack, the character praises the need of happiness and to make people laugh, but that desperate need of laughter and joy turns Fleck into something new, the leader of an anarchy that is taken as The Joker.
