Controversial, yet Fascinating

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2019)

I think the movie goes to a certain point to humanize Arthur so that you manage to understand his frustration and struggles and slowly, by the end, tries to make you realize his mental conditions are what's driving him to murder, and like that the movie gets you to realize he's not a person to relate to. At the end it shows his "true" colors, considering he had been off his meds, and studies show that meds used for mental illnesses and conditions tend to completely numb the individual.
At least that's what I believe the movie is trying to convey. I felt uneasy and panicked the entirety of the screening, and that's exactly what it was trying to do. I believe this movie touched its goal to become and extremely controversial movie, you either love it (not the subject itself, of course) or hate it, no in between.
