Joker is a comic book villain in one of the Batman movies. How did Joker, an aspiring comedy actor turned to become a gruesome villain ?
This movie is written after the popularity of the Joker villain in batman movie, tracing back Joker's past life.
it's a psychological study of Joker's life.It narrates the identity confusion he gets around his thirties. His innocent, soft heart that wanted make people laugh throughout his life was continuously destroyed by people around him. Mother, Father and a Hero he admired in his life.
The movie revolves around Joaquin Phoenix, the Joker's efforts to become a successful stage act comedian, his loneliness, sufferings and how the reality laughs at him.
At one moment, he stops trying to make people laugh through his stage act and starts living as a 'new-smiling-faced' Joker who paints a laughing face to the front and revenges out the entire society that laughed at him.
I thoroughly enjoyed this movie about loneliness, pain and losing one's own identity.. Could not sleep through the night after watching it.
Phoenix did a brilliant performance. He seemed like lived through those pains. Photography is conveying dark and sad emotions throughout perfectly.
It's also about rich people getting more rich and poor people getting more poor.
Hats off to the director who conceived the character completely.
Overall, It's a poor man's crazy revolution. 9 out of 10.
