I hear some people find this provocative. Well good!

Well, that means Todd Philips and Scott Silver has written one hell of a story. Art is provocative. And it should be. That's the way it is. I am glad Warner Bros is a big company making some original piece so that some money can be invested in relatively high budget arthouse project. It may not be perfect or the best movie but it's a significant milestone regarding the superhero movies that came out so far. The same reason people liked The Dark Knight. Quality writing is always appreciated by the audience.
But I think relating this movie or the Joker character to the up-to-date political discussions is nonsense. We have to think about the concept of a character who is oppressed and bullied not only by society but also by his close friends. Plus he has health issues.
Those people should watch There Will be Blood and see a really bad-guy perfectly crafted and studied head character. What will they say about Daniel Plainview? I wonder really.
