The joke was on me.

Rating: 10/10 (10 October 2019)

Firstly I want to say that this was a masterpiece all round. The cast, crew and director have made such an incredible movie.
Secondly if you're going to watch this movie because it's the Joker a villain of Batman and you think that they will end up fighting then it's not for you. Joker is more of a phscological thriller than a superhero movie. In this film you have to play close attention so you can grasp the concept. I think a bit of Joker knowledge will help you understand what you have just watched.
Thirdly I believe that the point of the movie is to make us question every last little bit and try an figure out what it is we have just watched. Was it all a dream? Was half real and half fake? The questions go on.
I personally believe that in this movie it all plays out the way we see apart from the ending. We know that Arthur fantasies and creates his own story so I believe after he kills Murray he is taken away, Gotham is on the brink of chaos and he sees this and revels in it. But he doesn't get rescued, Arthur invents this part. The truth is he's arrested and taken away to Arkham Asylum (Or the movies version of Arkham) I could be wrong but the hair dye doesn't look like the type that would be in your hair a while it only looked like the ones that go after a few washes. So when he arrives at Arkham they will wash him and take away his make up, I think to take away his power of being Joker.
When he tells his psychiatrist that she wouldnt get the joke that he was laughing at. I believe the joke was referencing the choas that would follow what he has done and then he kills her so everyone fears him more.
This is all my take and you can take what you want. I will also be interested in what you have to say about the movie..
