A good story with a complex character.

Rating: 9/10 (13 October 2019)

Over time we have had many versions of the Joker, that of Cesar Romero, Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, Jared Leto, and that of Joaquin Phoenix, normally many ask the question of which of these is the best, that is a difficult question to answer since the Joker is a very complex character, I mean each of these Jokers works in its own adaptation. The film is simply above the average of the current Super-Heroes movies, for example this one does not have forced references and you could say that it has moments in which the film can make you laugh, but unlike other movies of This genre, these are not silly jokes. As I said this is different, this is not the typical story of a man who has natural skills, a villain to beat who wants to destroy the world, and that in the end he conquers it without any consequence, in fact it does not even feel from the Super Heroes genre, it's more of a madness exploration drama, because that's exactly what the Joker movie does, it teaches you how a man can transform into the Joker, it teaches you how madness leads you to do Many unimaginable things. For me the most realistic and more complex adaptation of the Joker would be this, without a doubt that of Ledger was very good, but Leger has more to be a former war veteran who wants to make chaos because there is a man in disguise playing the hero who a psychopath, however in this new version, this time Batman did not believe the Joker, this time it was the city who created it, which is more interesting because it is something never seen before (Well at least in a film of this genre ). I loved the environment of Gotham City, it is quite dark at the same time as credible, and it is perfect for the film, the color palettes of the film is perfect for each scene of this film, it feels that everything combines, and that everything is instead. That is why my favorite scene would be the first one, the colors combine perfectly, we see Arthur sitting painting, you understand that it is not that he is not happy, maybe he tries, but it is not, this you can easily understand because, while the It makes you smile forcefully, throw a tear, in a nutshell, this scene makes it clear to you how the movie will work and a raw story that probably does not have a happy ending, the best thing is that it tells you without any unique dialogue of the characters (except the radio). The character feels human, everything he does feels naturally, he doesn't feel forced or anything like that, something that I like and that I like very much personally is that the character evolves from being Artur Fleck to being the Joker, this change is You can tell when he murders his adoptive mother after learning that he cheated on many things, from there Arthur becomes the Joker, who honestly sees him as Joker is somehow the healthiest state we see, since that Arthur was a man who suffered abuse, he was hallucinating, and he really didn't know what to do with his life, as long as Joker could say he already knows who he is for the first time, he accepts himself as he is and has a clear goal. The hallucinations were very interesting, everything we saw in the movie just makes it clear that only two things were hallucinations, the rest is your decision whether it was real or not, words of the director. For me, everything starts to be a hallucination after Arthur stops taking his medications, since from here many things begin to happen that are conscientiously favorable to Arthur, for example, that he is invited to Murray's show, or that a complete revolution has been made thanks to him, I only say that if he could imagine a relationship with his neighbor, why couldn't he imagine a complete revolution in his favor? That's why the final scene would be the best in the movie, this is the one that makes you doubt if everything you saw is real, for example, generates questions like, how the hell did they catch him if he was next to a crowd? ? o Why is psychology coincidentally similar to that of the beginning? or also that this place is similar to what we saw almost at the beginning that the psychologist asked if he remembered why he was internship. The meaning of the film is what caused the most controversy, since this as in films like "Taxi Driver", or "Fight Club" among others can be misunderstood, as you may identify with what the characters say, if we live in an unfair society in which the rich get fat while the poor die of hunger, and that is why we have to make a revolution, and that is not what the film is transmitting to you, rather it could be something like you are not bad with others, do not treat others badly, or also what the movie wants to convey to you would really be something like what one of the background songs of this movie says that although others trample your dreams you don't have to let that depresses you, and that is the exact opposite of what Arthur did. I really do not find much to complain about this movie, I liked everything and if it has any error this will be justified with something like "Remember that many things are hallucinating." Even that doesn't really bother me. In conclusion Joker is a raw movie, which may make you feel uncomfortable, which is fine because it means that the movie is getting you emotions, which also means that you like the movie, this is a movie that explores its issues, with a great performance of Joaquin Phoenix worthy of an Oscar, with little action but with more than interesting moments, I hope they do not ruin it by taking a sequel, because he really does not need it, and if Black Panther an average movie does not stand out in nigun sense was nominated for Oscar, I donÂ´t see why this not, that is why the Joker earns its well deserved 9/10.
