Joker (2019) Review

Rating: 10/10 (20 November 2019)

Joker is directed by Todd Phillips and star Joaquin Phoenix, Zazie beetz, and Robert De Niro. This movie is astonishing. The acting, cinematography, story, etc. I absolutely love this movie for all those things. Joaquin is the perfect joker, and i also love what they did with the joker character, it was something new for the joker, having a mental illness, that's what makes him do these horrible things and you want to root for Arthur but he does these horrible things that make you not want to root for him. This movie is suprisingly a pychological thriller. This movie makes you think certain things are real but they turn out to be non-existent, which make for some really amazing scenes. Speaking of scenes, the last two scenes of the movie are amazing! When you see the joker put on a bloody smile its a symbol that he is finally letting go, he does'nt care anymore, he does'nt want to be treated like trash anymore, and now he wont. And the last scene will mess with your head, i can't tell if this whole joker thing was all in his head or if he was arrested and put in a mental institution. Another thing that might mess with your brain is that Thomas Wayne could have had an affair with Arthur's (maybe) mother, and Arthur could be half brothers with Bruce Wayne, and Arthur's mother might have not been crazy like we thought. Lets talk about the preformences, Joaquin is mesmerizing, he did an amazing job bringing this character to life. Zazie's character plays an interesting role in this movie, Arthur thinks for a while that they are couple but soon he would find out that its all in his head. So this whole movie could have just been in his head, which was not what i was expecting but i was pleasantly surprised by it. Overall this movie is definitely my favorite movie of the year. I'm going to give Joker, an A+. If you a DC fan i'm sure you will have a blast with this.
