Alter Ego

Rating: 9/10 (13 January 2020)

It is such a pity that this masterpiece cannot be enjoyed in China Mainland. However, I manage to watch this movie in the winter holiday of 2020.
Many people appreciate this film of Todd Philips while others doubt the value of it. From my point of view, the Joker is just an ordinary member of the society who is suddenly forced to face his own alter ego, influenced by all the pains from the strangers to relatives and eventually turns into anger and crazy behaviors.
To some extent, we are all jokers. For example, nearly all of us did experience constant unhappiness temporarily and get mad in some ways, and of course that kind of mad didn't necessarily mean crimes, but the hiden self, or the alter ego released and exploded.
