A bit disappointed

Rating: 7/10 (10 October 2019)

First thing first, I personally like this film, but I wish it can had more dynamics on politics and the disparity, it just feels like it wasn't there yet, all those struggling and revolutionary concepts were kind of cartoonish to me, and the dialogues right before Arthur shoot Murray were too blatant, no character can be this self-aware, not even Arthur.
But the cinematography and the soundtrack in this film is breathtaking, and Joaquin Phoenix is just phenomenal in this film, he's such a brilliant actor, I won't compare him with Heath Ledger because both of them did an absolutely amazing job, I almost can't believe my own eyes.
Though I had some problems with this film, I still really appreciate this movie for being existed, there aren't enough films like this in Hollywood nowadays, especially in the superhero genre. I hope we can see more movies like this in the future, which the directors and the writers were actually trying to make a "good" movie, with no CGI involved and actually care about the characters and the visuals, not just some cash grab digital cinema, but a "real film" with some talented storytelling and masterful visual choreography.
Thank you, Todd Phillips, for giving us this unique experience.
