Joker is a Serious-Dark movie - not a Comedy!

Rating: 8/10 (3 November 2019)

Joaquin Phoenix, who plays the role of a Psycho Comedian, has acted with great conviction! The movie was made with utmost sincerity, without any "melodramas"!
But this movie has NO "usual entertainment value"! Therefore, most people will not see it; although, I know there is a audience for such movies too.
It is a "dark" film made with the exclusive intention of winning Awards in film festivals!
I was certainly put off my the Gory scenes of Murders in the film! Why do film-makers show such scenes when you can easily show them in a simple way - but with the same impact on our minds?
