Brutal piece of art!

Man, it blew my mind!
As a Joker fan, I was eager to see Joaquim Phoenix's portrait of the Mad Clown. I was really excited, but the flick was beyond my expectations.
It made me CRINGE, it made me CARE for the character. I felt for him many times, even knowing that the evil was there, lurking inside. It's a descent into madness, and it also makes us think about our place in a society. Are we paying enough attention? Are we caring enough for people who really need us?
The Joker is a villain, of course, but he's also a victim. Or better: he's first the victim and THEN the (wicked) villain.
The scene when he's "turned" into the psychotic and dangerous clown we all love to fear, is EPIC. The soundtrack, the score... DAMN, that was amazing!
Phoenix delivers an IMPRESSIVE work and deserves all the recognition! What an actor, my friends, what an actor...
