A Masterpiece of Masterpieces

Rating: 10/10 (28 April 2020)

Joaquin Phoenix as an actor has evolved and has created a name for himself. He has been on my radar since Signs and with every movie he has amazed me with his repertoire of talent. A movie that has been etched in my memory is Her.
So with these expectations I watched Joker and I was not disappointed.
This is the closest and the best origin story. I initially thought it would be an ordinary action flick pleasing everyone considering the director Todd Phillips who is known for The Hangover but I was wrong.
This is a movie that every one will relate to, we all have a dark side, we all have felt or are lonely, and we do find society absurd though we conform.
The way Joaquin breathes life into the character of Arthur a failed comedian and his slow transformation into Joker is definitely going to be taught at film schools....the finest piece of acting I have seen in ages.
With Joker he has surpassed De Niro and DiCaprio in acting.
Every other aspect of the movie is superb the haunting music, the dialogues the way it's shot and it is in every way relatable to what is happening today with the pandemic. Chaos.
Watch it on repeat!!!!!
