No matter what anyone says, this film is a true masterpiece!

Rating: 10/10 (18 October 2019)

Since two weeks, Joker has been intriguing me and I have finally seen the movie yesterday and it would suffice for me to say, this movie is a true epic masterpiece. The story is what we already knew from the trailers, Arthur Fleck, flawlessly portrayed by the man who runs the show, Joaquin Phoenix, is a struggling stand-up comic who is abandoned by the society and is treated like trash. What happens when a person like that falls off the cliff of sanity is the movie. Now, Joaquin Phoenix is in every frame of the movie, and man, what a performance! Joaquin Phoenix shows every layer, every nuance of Arthur's character, we actually get a peek inside Arthur's mind, and that is all I had to say about this, the screenplay by Todd Phillips is awesome, and in particular, special appreciation, shoutout, mention to Lawrence Sherr as the cinematographer, his camera is awesome, one of the best camera work in recent cinema and the background score by Hildur Gudnadottir, man, her score is just spooky, it just amplifies the mood and tone of the movie by leaps and bounds and the production design by Mark Friedberg looks stunning as he makes Gotham a truly dark place that the movie requires, this movie is subject to perspective, if you look at this movie as a piece of artwork, you will love it, if you look at it as a form of message, it truly would disappoint you, though, the overall message of the movie is for society's good. And yeah, Joaquin Phoenix must get an Oscar for his performance, he deserves it and Todd Phillips, man, thank you for giving us this Joker.
