JOKER must receive an Oscar for Best Actor!

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2019)

Even the Joker just laughing hysterically while at the same time showing the emotions of depression, fear, or disgust on his face is hard to do. Try it!
Before watching the movie, I thought that whoever plays Joker has big shoes to fill - Heath Ledger in The Dark Knight. But Joaquin Phoenix absolutely embodies the deep troubles and the contempt that Joker has for society, and he does an outstanding job.
Yes, the movie is dark. But dark is what led Joker to be Joker.
In Forrest Gump, one thing that made it good was Tom Hank's acting. The same is true of Joaquin Phoenix in Joker.
Just an outstanding, unpredictable, entertaining, and accurate portrayal of the deep, dark past of Joker. I'm so happy they made this movie - I never before really understood why the Joker is the way he is.
Watch it!
