Mesmerizing

Rating: 9/10 (22 December 2019)

Joker is a masterpiece work of savage art. I never thought I would see a better performance and rendition of Joker than Heath Ledger but Joaquin Phoenix is it.
I was fixated on this film and couldn't take my eyes off of it. It plays with your heart and mind. It makes you grapple with morality, society, concept of evil, and how society deals with mental illness and the treatment of the mentally ill.
It moves like an orchestra and Joker is the conductor. His dancing in the film captures his performance on the Stage of Life. Oscar Wilde said, "The world is a stage, but the play is badly cast."
I also enjoyed the concept of "comedy" and how Joker views "jokes." He sees the worst in life as the true comedy and laughs at how he must deal with it in his violence.

Dr: "What's so funny?"
Joker : "I was just thinking about a joke."
