too much of the taxi driver

Rating: 8/10 (6 November 2019)

Todd Phillips' JOKER is neither as good as everybody says, nor as bad as you might expect. I loved the performance of Joaquin Phoenix but I love him and everything he does overall. I also think that the soundtrack was so soothing, I haven't heard this in a while. But that pretty much it. The plot was just like THE TAXI DRIVER's and I was expecting a better ending. It's trying to be edgy, dark, philosophical and anti-capitalist but fails to do so. The dialogues were dull and pretty useless, everything you hear or see people quote is actually just another try to be woke and deep. Everyone's talking how different this films is, but I don't see it that way, because JOKER doesn't start a conversation. Just makes you wonder why the f did you just watch a 2019 joker TAXI DRIVER version.
