A very uplifting movie !

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2019)

This movie was a bit different from what I had expected yo see, in that, for a movie about a joker there are very few jokes, and very little humor. It is still very worth seeing, though. It does address the very real and pressing issue of income inequality, and the feelings of isolation and futility that many people feel today. These are really the most moving scenes of the movie, and the ones that really cast Arthur in the role of the every man we can all relate to. The way that he becomes an icon to all of his "clown" admirers, especially toward the end of the movie, was the most uplifting part of the movie. The fact that there is a scene that is very similair to the one shown in the original 1989 Batman film makes this film both a Batman and Joker origin story. The back ground music, cinematography, screenplay, and nost of all the acting by Mr Phoenix, and Mr. DeNiro a must see for all adult fans of the batman super hero genre.
