Joaquin puts a human being into the Joker

Rating: 10/10 (7 October 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix's performance in this movie was stunning as he plays a mentally challenged man who lives in an even crazier world. The movie explains how Arthur evolves into The Joker we know from Batman. However, this Joker is vulnerable and a victim of traumatic circumstances. I am moved by how well Joaquin brings this comic character to life and creates an image of a believable human being who doesn't want to be a victim anymore. There are several thought provoking elements in this movie - like, this is what happens when you place a gun into the hands of a mentally and emotionally lost and drainef person. Can't wait to see this movie again - I personally find Joaquins acting exceptional and mesmorizing - and Oscar worthy!
