The spectacular, Joker

Rating: 10/10 (2 November 2019)

This Joker truly is a masterpiece, if you are expecting the sinister man in his prime evil, this movie is not meant for you. Pertaining to mental health, the Joker goes through his struggle in Gotham as things such as losing his job and not being able to see his social worker has a toll on his health. His on going condition worsens throughout the film and we view this as he goes on a murder streak and how his reality deceives the audience. The movie almost had me on the edge of my seat as it soon portrayed to me as a horror film with the creepy acts Joker shows such as randomly dancing or other sinister moments of mental deterioration. The film almost makes you as a watcher feel bad that such a man was treated horribly even after pursuing his dream and how malicious Gotham really is. Joker helps connect the audience in a way of real struggle. The fact that the Joker has a laughter condition once again truly brought the horrific perspective into the film but also remorse. At times the Joker would be genuinely laughing and most of the time it's forced. The remorse comes into perspective when we see the man endure the conflict with general people including his idol who let him on his show only to make fun of him. I think that was the Joker's breaking point of not return. I think one thing that really shocked me in this universe is that Batman has been trying to find the person who killed his parents but in reality the joker influenced everyone in the city to riot, the man was probably a nobody which is shocking but also it makes one question if the Joker is really the murderer of Bruce Wayne's parents. Enough about that, it was amazing to see how a villain actually becomes a villain and not just the consistent acts of crime. Movies should be more incorporating of a villains back story more because we just see villains as bad people, and they are, but it's good to see how they got there.
