Look down at me and you see a fool, look up at me and you see a god, look straight at me and you see yourself

Rating: 9/10 (4 October 2019)

Ive rewatched this for the 4th time now and every time i notice something new. I had extremely high expectations for this film and it somehow managed to go beyond even that.
As many have said before Joaquin is incredible in this film, you look into his eyes and you dont see a mad man. You see a sad clown looking for attention or purpose.
The visuals in this film are stunning, beautiful. I love how the cinamatographer uses color to indicate emotion and panic. The score is fantstic and scares me everytime.
This is a character study and is told in the first person, there is no shot in the film without Arthur.
Critisism: I get what they were trying to do with the first half, but i think it was done poorly, if you want the audience to empathise with the protagonist you have to add real character moments not just arthur being mis treated for 1 hour.(2nd half was increadible) the script limits this and some of the scenes and often breaks many screenwriting rules
final rating: 9.1
