"The worst part of having a mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't"

First of all I'd like to say "HATS OFF TO TODD PHILIPS AND JOAQUIN PHOENIX". If you're a cinephile and haven't seen this movie on the bug screen, you're missing something!
The movie explores the life of Arthur Fleck and shows us how an ordinary man becomes the JOKER.
Daringly dark, this movie left me and many others speechless! No one was clapping when it ended, because the movie itself is a slap on the face of society! Everyone EVERYONE is a result of circumstances. This movie doesn't care about anything, it doesn't sugarcoat lies, it doesn't confuse reality with fiction, it takes the reality and puts a fictous yet amazingly real-like story in it! Do we take mental illness seriously? NO. Does this movie warns us of the consequences? YES. Should we relate to this movie and feel sympathy for Joker? NO. You know what ignorance and suppression leads to? It leads to JOKER!
Coming to the cinematic aspects of the movie, believe me when I say this, "Joaquins acting was TOP TIER"! Credit goes to Todd Philips too for creating an amazing yet dark environment and daring to implement this story! Cinematography was on point and in fact one of the best that I've seen! I'm saying this again because no matter how many tines I say this it won't be enough, Joaquin acted as if he WAS Joker! This performance tops that of "Her" and will always live in cinematic history as one of the best EVER!
It would be needless to say that you should see this because YOU SHOULD SEE THIS!
Talking about my experience in cinema, I was shocked and SHAKING when the movie ended! The last 15 mins of the movie were one of the finest and intense piece of cinema ever made!
Joker shakes the society, slaps it's face, and puts forward a question, "Where are we going as a society?"
