A Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (17 October 2019)

I am so compelled and absolutely fascinated by the movie "Joker" that I will return to watch it again and for the third time... I am not joking.
Despite all the dark and depressing blah-blah shit talk of the critics (as usual induced by jealousy for someone else' success) I haven't seen such a beautiful film in ages. The movie directly showcases nowadays society thorough a straight cut vision with no filters, sugarcoating or paranoid fantasy. A society filled with a bunch of losers holding the power and using the people below to satisfy their primary needs to refill their pockets with dumb promises (such as extermination of rats used as an example in the movie).
I felt a tremendous amount of sympathy, deep care and heartbreak for Arthur Fleck aka Joker and I absolutely disagree with a dark images painted of him everywhere on the social media. Arthur represents a real man who despite life circumstances, psychological deficiently and some childish manners sacrifices his life to take care of his old mother while showing up to a low paid, disrespectful and poorly seen from the success point of view job. Instead of being trashed in his apartment on drugs and alcohol, Arthur still gets up every morning, takes the bus and go to work for pennies because as a true man he takes care of his household and people that he loves. Raised without a father-figure and repressed from any possible interactions with women, he shares a big enfant heart filled with anxiety for life situations (when he loses his job or gets mocked by a bunch of retards of the world). Whenever Arthur goes out, he has to carry a specific card with a diagnosis of his condition that he has to show up to idiots with no card.
The movie perfectly illustrates a social worker who gives nothing about other people problems but is glued to the warm chair while getting paid her miserable salary. When she hears Arthur's complains about her careless behavior towards him, she puts on her "me-too" attitude and become speechless as a fish in an aquarium. In the same grotesque way are presented the guys from the Walls Street with a typical portrait of a white blue eyed guy filled with filth.
Arthur is not a mythical character from a comic book. He is a real representation of millions of people that struggle every day with unfair and disgusting treatment from the society. Being in a weak position and having no one to stand up by his side, Arthur has no other choices but surrender each time to other people's abuse while they keep on taking advantage of him. Without one day of break, he has to undergo punch after punch till the moment when he finally finds strength to rebel. As he does, I felt a relief that he was finally able to stand up for himself despite the way "the stand-up" has been made. The violence comes at ease in this movie and isn't seen as something "that" bad just because it seems to be a natural reaction to external circumstances. The tension between sympathy and revulsion is one of the most honest things about Joker.
