Interesting, good movie, but this joker is really impared

Rating: 7/10 (3 January 2020)

Well made movie. However I think the functioning of the Joker is so impared by his illnesses that it would appear less likely he would lead a revolution and be at the end of a mafia. It is also unclear what would be his motives to start voluntarily a revolution. His psychopathic side is not put forward, more his psychotic side. After what we have seen of this Joker it would be logical to me that he becomes a killing machine but less a tactical leader as opposed to Heath Ledger's depiction where the Joker was very sick but his psychopathic side more obvious as well as his intelligence. The shoes were big to fill after the 2008 performance and this movie approaches things with a different and interesting angle still. We can tell Joaquin Phoenix gave a lot into his performance.
