Delightfully disturbed

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2019)

As a frequent movie goer and fellow performer I would just like to say first off I am thoroughly impressed. The entirety of this film was extremely depressing. Any sliver of happiness that Arthur gets, seems to just get extracted viciously out of his life. You watch his slow decent into madness and you're clenching onto your seat to see what he might do next; whether that is killing ruthlessly, or creating fake relationships in his twisted mind. Joaquin Phoenix depicts the perfect battle between good and evil with his constant struggle between happiness and sadness. In the end I was honestly routing for the joker because of the pain manifested through his whole life. This movie made me laugh, cry, and made me see things differently about society. Everyone is a little mad. 10/10
