Something new

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2019)

With all the superhero movies that have come out in the past decade and the ones in production. Seeing a new dark look on the cinematic comic franchises is refreshing. Joker had an amazing story line that tells a story but also leaves a lot up to the viewers to interpret. The setting and production value is immersive. Joker really puts you in the settings of this corrupted city of Gotham that is on the edge of falling into complete mob rule. But the biggest thing you have to mention when talking and this movie is the acting. The movie eases you in to the life of Arthur but very quickly you realize that he has a lot of problems. For a time after he has begun the transformation into joker things start to look up for him. Then like a house of cards it all crashes down and within a few scenes Arthur has completely lost it. The emotions displayed by Arthur are not only amazing but also done through the lens of a mentally ill man. The beauty of this movie is that it leaves a lot up as mystery with a lot of unsolved questions and a lot of plot points that are left to the viewers discretion it builds this barrier where we can not truly understand joker because he can't even understand himself. Over all it is one of the best things that DC has done in a while and if they continue with this more realistic and serious style of portraying a character they can be on par if the better then what marvel has coming out. DC just needs to remember quality of quantity. Something marvel and Disney have both forgotten.
