Heavily Overrated !!!

Rating: 5/10 (12 January 2020)

First of all amidst all chaos i could appreciate the brilliance in Joaquin Phoenix's acting. He has nailed what most of the current lot of actors would not even think of reaching. I can specifically see three different personalities inside his role. He did an amazing job on all three.
Secondly , A film is not all about how well the lead actor performs and binds to his role. It should have a sound cinematography and Script. Joker is seriously do not have a story to relate for the viewers. In the entire film it was just searching for a story or a message to relate for the viewer. Script is just touching here and there but never had a solid flow or emotions attached to it. That is why I never felt sorry or sad about JOKER or the underprivileged people. I was just having zero emotions to the movement he started or for the things he had done in the film.
I would sight this film as a classic example for a failed script which always tried to deliver best scenes for the lead actor. In one aspect Joaquin actually kills all other what would be good factors which would have contributed to overall success of the film. All scenes are directed to make JOKER shine hence the story and the character build up of the rest has been clearly ignored and dumped.
This film can win the award for the best actor in a leading role but will not even nominate for any other categories. What did that tell you ? Success of the film or a failure ? It is up to you to decide.
I would remind you of "Forrest Gump" in 1994 . Tom Hanks played a similar role and all the attention was on to him. But it had a very heartwarming and a complex story to tell. Rest of the cast had a role to play in the story. All in all Tom Hanks did not do justice for him but for the entire film. Film ended winning 6 Oscars in 1995 competing with the likes of Shawshank Redemption/ Pulp Fiction.
