Reflect The Society Of Capitalism!

Rating: 10/10 (23 February 2020)

First and foremost, I'm here to explain the perspective from the one who heavily dislike superheroes films. The last superhero film I've seen was Captain America The Winter Solider. I feel that these movies including The Avengers are the reason why we don't see enough quality films nowadays. However, I went to see Joker just because The Dark Knight was my only favorite film in that type of category. And now, Joker is my new first favorite movie from that category.
Todd Phillips did amazing job by bringing his comedian talent into a seriously dark film. Since he is known for his love of documentary films, he created a "documentary" about Joker that parallel to the days in early 1980s. It was when the USA society had shifted to the conservative right after Ronald Regan became the president. Regan removed the New Deal and reduced the tax for rich people. The fund for people mentality ill had gone down. The unemployment rate was 7.2%. The emergence of capitalism had occurred.
Joker was an example of people who were stuck in the decline of social mobility. Poor, lonely, and rejection had evolved him into a villain and led him to seek revenge for rich people. 11:11 was found in several scenes, and it was a symbol of twin flames, referring a domino effect of actions when people becoming richer or poorer. The character of Joker was referred to John Gacy for this particular reason.
I found this interesting where people were saying that Joker was shown at wrong time, especially after the shooting incidents. I thought the release date was a perfect timing due to the upcoming of one of the most important presidential elections in American history. I'm absolutely the fact that Joker film is at least a factor into the decision making for our next president.
ANOTHER MASTERPIECE!
