King of comedy + taxi driver

Rating: 8/10 (2 October 2019)

Joker was a ticking time bomb waiting to explode in pop cultures face. So is the character Arthur played by Joaquin, an explosion made by time and pressure of/by/in the society which couldn't bother if someone was dying on the streets or starving without food. A society which will ridicule the isolated for being isolated and laugh and call him/her a clown for not achieving anything. What follows when one man stands up against the hypocrisy and injustice is anarchy and as we all know joker is a symbol of chaos. The film definitely hits the right nerve in the audience who would notice the relevance of the themes and concerns put forth to our current period and it may affect the wrong person..but the film doesn't end with the creation of joker but the birth of Batman. Chaos is not left to be celebrated but to remind us why we need order. The film is poetic in every sense though it falls slightly under to call itself a masterpiece.
Joaquin Phoenix is a Master of his craft and a spectacular sight to see. On par with Ledger.
