New approach to Joker character is perfect

Rating: 10/10 (9 October 2019)

This movie isn't for everyone. It isn't another action-packed superhero motion picture where you can find a lot of stupid gags, funny scenes or spectacular explosions. It's a new approach to Joker's character. It doesn't have much in common with previous films. It shows how did Joker originate, what ignited him to become a psycho killer, how did his mental illness evolve and why all of this even started. It's a tragedy of Joker.
Viewers and critics are divided in this case. A lot of people say that it's a masterpiece, Phoenix's acting was a masterwork. On the other side we have people who say it has nothing to do with this character. That they made him totally different from what we already know about him. But I think that was the case because all versions of Joker that we've already seen were already fully developed characters with somehow mysterious past. Here we can actually see one of interpretations of his origin.
If it comes to me, I belong to the first team. I find this movie very heavy. The feelings, the atmosphere and even music makes it totally different from all that we've already seen. Todd Phillips, Joaquin Phoenix and Hildur Guðnadóttir made an amazing job. It was great to see a new approach to this character. 10 out of 10 for me.
