Isn't it obvious that... (Spoiler about climax)

Rating: 4/10 (29 December 2019)

Rarely does a movie goof completely change the audience's ability to follow the story, but the Joker's makeup suffered such an obvious discontinuity, that it convinced me the climactic scene didn't even happen. The Joker had a clear smudge of blue paint coming down from one eye (from crying), all the way down his cheek, and it was suddenly all cleaned up for the entire climactic sequence (okay, sure, it makes sense he'd fix his makeup before going on camera for a national audience) but as soon as that scene ends, his makeup again looks exactly like it did before he met the talk-show host in the dressing room. Sooo... I mean clearly it was just another fantasy of the Joker's, right? It seems so obvious to me, yet I haven't heard anyone else comment on it.
Joker is one of those movies where the preview gets a 10/10 but the actual movie doesn't.
