That's Life- Fits in like a glove

Rating: 10/10 (8 October 2019)

Joker is not a movie of pretense. It is about the truth.
I think most people who disliked this movie disliked it because they were expecting some fairy tale, like they always do. But that's not the reality, is it? It hardly ever is. This movie portrays how much society can break you from within. This movie shows the struggle of a common man. It doesn't need any universe to follow, because it is a masterpiece on it's own.
I went in to see a movie about this DC villain, but what did I get? I got exposed to the truth. It was certainly clever how the writers mixed a fictional character with someone who's living in this world and gave us something we kept thinking about hours after we came back from the theater.
And Joaquin Phoenix's performance as Joker was as moving as the script. It was dark, it was bone-chilling and most importantly, it was brave. To portray a character like that, it takes guts. And he did justice.
In all, it was worth it. Making this film was worth it. Received by many as a cold-hearted comedy, well you have it. That's life.
