Finally Restored my faith in intelligently commercial Cinema

Rating: 9/10 (7 October 2019)

I was in theatre and "send in the clown" was playing at the end credits, glued to my seat and thinking... What I ve just experienced in past 100 minutes or so has brought some deep dark somberness in me. This dystopian city, its brunet tones, The character, the story, the psyche, the fall the rise and the glorification of a human condition was so spine chilling yet satisfied to my grizzly brain which I put forward to watch this kinda cinema.
Joker was not just a movie for me since I saw its trailor . Never seen such mastery in a trailor in the recent years. I had this anticipation that a movie can't carry much more than what's shown in the trailor but the end scenes proved me wrong conveniently.
Phoenix is a great actor or not, should be left for critics and Oscar Jury to decide. For a movie buff like me he pierced a hole in my heart with his brilliant performance. The art and craft of acting at its best. I was wondering he might be suffering from some kinda "post-partum" depression after delivering such performance. I was imagining him studying the character, discussing crying and laughing scenes with the makers and seeing his psychiatrist after that. I liked him in "The Gladiator" as a face meant to depict inner turmoil but here he locked his genes for showing what need to be shown and nothing else... So folks! A well presented intelligent and a cult of its own movie is here. Go see it without popcorn and slush as it might give you a guilt later that while crushing popcorn you might have missed some spine chilling moments and keynotes from the amazing sountrack.
