"Joker" 2019 - a character elucidation of a violent society.

Rating: 8/10 (10 November 2019)

Difficult? But so is the obstinate denial that so are we. And moments of nuance beyond the dialogue and cinematography? This film plays heavily upon the cruelty of obstinance intertwining with the decision of obsessive complusive violent vengeance toward the intentional unrelenting inequality that such unreason lays claim into maligned madness. Up there with the Criterion of landmark film, perhaps because it is canon of comic book married with the mastery of psychological film, direction, acting, and a the cleverness of a subconscious implicit narration. This is about the mirrors of the great "we" that define humanity. Therefore it is also academic. If that justifies merit or not it still signifies quite the accomplishment of a social science elucidation.
