The "New" Joker

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

PART 1: Laughing - "put on a happy face"
Arthur Fleck dreams of being a stand-alone comedian, whose best quality is probably filial piety (he has been taking care of his sick mother for years). He was affectionately referred to by his mother as "Happy" in the hope that he would always be smiling, always happy, and he also wished he could bring smiles to everyone. Ironically, going back in the past, perhaps his violent days affected his smile. He suffers from an uncontrollable illness, and when he does, he laughs and annoys people. The dramatic scene of his smile lies in the segment when he watches a comedy. People laugh, then he did not and vice versa. Or his gentle smile to her neighbor Sophie Dumond.
PART 2: A bad comedian
Arthur extremely admired Murray Franklin - he is a comedy host, has a strong influence on Arthur. He has the ability to turn Gotham's horrible problems into laughter (which is a kind of optimism) - but people like him, like Arthur, say "have never stepped out of the stage" to see life. out there like. He has absolutely no empathy for people in lower statuses like Arthur in particular and the Gotham people in general. He made Arthur laughed and Arthur now gave him an ending that he "deserved".
PART 3: Call me Joker
Before going on stage, Arthur had a little request with Murray, introduce him as: Joker. And a Arthur "nothing to lose" was completely different. Arthur - The Joker shows a confident dance as he prepares to go on stage and what Joker does, simply confess on Gotham TV. We have a truly internal Joker, no plan, no destructive things but the way the Joker works is really cold, not too gimmicky (this is for the soldier to do) and keep the item main destination.
PART 4: The end
My impression of the Joker is the perfect performance of Joaquin Phoenix. Is extremely reasonable music, as if going to teach you to know where to use teaching aids. A perfect scenario for the downhill, human frustration of Arthur. And contrary to many people, I was most impressed by the Jokers' dances, when I was happy with his mother, with childrens, when he was confident going to the studio and barbarians at the end of the film. And how barbarians enjoy yourselves.
