The Clown Prince of Crime

Rating: 9/10 (31 March 2020)

This is a kind of movie that requires you to sit down and rethink about it. The movie is dark and affective. Despite the fact that lots of people think that this movie is a blockbuster movie just like the other comic book based movies this film isn't a blockbuster. This film is a piece of art.
Actually the story is nothing too extraordinary. What makes this movie really good is the way the story is told. The story is basically telling how the society drives a man mad. We have seen similar stories before but the way that it is told in the film is what makes it different and better.
The cinematography in the movie is beautiful. There are some amazing shots. Especially the scenes with Arthur Fleck dancing. Also about the dance scenes, they are probably the most affective scenes in the entire movie because you can see that every single move that he does while dancing is a portrayal of his emotions inside. Also I want to mention the outstanding music in the film.
Everyone can agree that Joaquin Phoenix was awesome in the role. Actually there is not much to say about his performance because it was perfect.
I think this film is a real masterpiece and my favourite movie of 2019.
