A Masterpiece That Deserves Multiple Viewing

Rating: 10/10 (3 October 2019)

I was fortunate enough to watch this movie on 2 October on an IMAX. And boy.... the movie surely lived up to its hype and humongous expectations. If Heath Ledger was menacing and mesmerizing as Joker in The Dark Knight, Joaquin Pheonix is that unstoppable force that gives us the Joker that we all truly deserved. You will feel his pain , his sorrows , his dreams , his anger... you will become .. the Joker. The movie got a standing ovation at the end. In fact, I got so much into the character, that I could correctly guess what the Joker's reaction would be , in couple of crucial scenes. This is what Tod Phillips and Joaquin Pheonix have achieved. Finally, this movie does not glorify violence and anarchy, it just shows what happens when you push certain people beyond certain boundaries.
