We create monsters ! Joker is a good movie, monsters are not born but created by the society.

Rating: 8/10 (9 October 2019)

When you are surrounded by poverty, increasing crime, violence and claws of capitalism dig deeper and deeper into your skin you can not react any other way than going insane. In a Gotham, city which is on brings of collapse we meet this young, troubled man and see how he transforms into the vile creature with disregard to life.
How to live in a dump? How to cope ? Mental condition, ugly apartment, long commutes, awful job (which made Arthur happy to some degree). How to survive. It is a really difficult task when you have streets littered with rubbish, businesses going bust and packs of viscous teenagers running the streets and causing problems. The rich has forgotten those who are less fortunate. Rich part of the society turn the blind eye. They do not have solution, they see it as an opportunity. Thomas Wayne wants to become a mayor not out of goodness of his heart but to reinforce his position of power in the society.
Super rich of Gotham are obsessively wealthy and feel that they are in control. This story erupts when One day, three bankers, elite of Gotham pick up on the wrong man. Arthur defends himself and through his actions commits first degree triple murder. A sociopath is born. Gotham a created this monster, society did create this vile entity. We create modern Jokers, we push people over the edge with our despicable actions or lack of any attempts in helping those in need.
But when the monster is born we do not blame ourselves, oh no, we do not. We just see them as the abomination but what it is is nothing else than waste created by us. We did this. We created joker.
Arthur's mommy was writting to Mr Wayne asking for help, whether she was sane or not that has never been answered in the movie but her screams for help were left unanswered and this lack of action was one more reason for Joker to abandon set norms and be this energy of evil pulling people in similar situation to him.
Joker breaks, he rejects all the norms. The boundary of what is right and wrong is so blurred tha he finds no problem with brutally murdering people who wronged him or will wrong him. The war between rich and poor has begun. Poor people inspired by the brutal murders and thanks to slimy media are interpreting unfortunate events in the as a response of the poor. The truth is that Joker become a symbol for those who want to release their anger and frustration. No more ! They fight back and follow psychopath who kills because he become empty, rejected shell.
Movie is dark and worth watching. Phoenix did play Joker really well. It is easy to draw comparisons between legendary Keith Ledger role but I would rather see his performance as his own interpretation of the Joker character. It is movie about evil side of human nature. There is only despair and misery, there is not Batman in this movie, the balance is on the side of evil. You will not find solace here.
