Enjoyed It

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2019)

Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed Joker. I liked how it truly showed Arthur Fleck going more and more insane throughout the film. A good example would be him imagining that his next door neighbor is his girlfriend, only to find out later in the film that it was all in his head. Joaquin Phoenix was also amazing in this film and he completely owned the role of the joker.
The only criticism that I have with this film is that it feels like a newly done Taxi Driver and The King Of Comedy crossover. I believe that director of The Hangover, Todd Phillips really enjoys that era of Scorsese. Fair enough, Taxi Driver is an amazing movie and it inspires me. That doesnt mean I am going to make a movie that is almost a copy of Taxi Driver, with only some sequences and characters changed.
Although I have this gripe with the movie, I still really enjoyed it and I thought the sets, cinematography and Joaquin Phoenix were amazing in this. I would recommend seeing this.
