The "Woke" society has created a true masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (15 October 2019)

After seeing many of the interviews from Todd Phillips that he refuses to direct comedies due to the way that the world has changed since the hangover, one of the best 00s comedies, was released. And for once Im thankful that the world has beaten a guy so badly that he had to change his style because he created a true masterpiece that will go down in history for the character and his directorial style.
This film is hauntingly epic through the complete destruction of 1 mans life to turning that pain into complete madness that ultimately ends in one of the greatest shots of a man who had finally found his calling. His blood smile creates another version of the infamous joker smile, from the furry upper lip of Cesar Romero, the acid burnt smile of Jack Nicholson, the scars of Heath Ledger and the golden grill of Jared Leto this has to be the most grounded and realistic version.
Theres so many parts of this movie that are epic, Joaquin Phoenix alone carries that tag from his Oscar winning performance, from sad to angry to regretful and back to pure harmony in the final scenes. But all of the kills that were made during this movie had already hurt him in someway before being killed. First the Wayne Enterprise employees gave him a kicking and they didnt expect him to fight back. His mum, withheld all the information of his abusive childhood and where he made have developed his unnerving laugh at the hands of her ex boyfriend. Randell for giving him the gun that started the decent into madness, in such a quick and brutal killing in front of a witness. Then finally Murray Franklin for remarking about his last on stage performance.
The true start of the joker is when he kills his mum its like the last piece of Aurther had also died at that moment. With the tag line of the movie being echoed during this moment cements this as one of the underrated parts of the movie. With honestly the dance of control after the first killing is by far the best part of the movie. Trying to center himself after the first loss of control was haunting. After hearing this was improvised during filming of just Phoenix and Phillips in the room adds fewer weight to this.
The main question that is hanging over this film is that it'll always be compared to Ledgers Joker and its an insult to both versions to be compared to each other! Ledgers is a perfect Batman joker that has been crazy and fighting for years before hitting the big time. Where Phoenixs Joker is the true origin story that was promised and could well lead to the best Batman Joker but sadly this will never happen. Both are perfect in their own stories, if they switched neither would work.
Best Movie of 2019
