When you bring me out, can you introduce me as Oscar Winner?

Rating: 10/10 (7 January 2020)

Todd Phillips' Joker is without doubt a masterpiece! And it works even without using the vat of chemicals and getting infected with a sheet of white make-up. Blimey, even forget about the purple clothing for a second. This is simply Joaquin Phoenix's movie, this is a whole new version of the Clown Prince of Crime... he's not even a prince for Gotham City's crimes until really the end, he's just a clown with a powerful performance of acting.
We see Phoenix and his absolute eccentric persona as Arthur Fleck really cause chaos into the city of Gotham, by the look of just a genuine ordinary man desperately looking for answers on the Wayne's relations; is he Batman's brother? Is he not? The film itself just grips you into wanting more and more answers, hell, give it a few good riddles for him to solve if need be, he'll give the Riddler a run for his money.
But more importantly, the fallen comedian who couldn't stand up and couldn't make ends meet gives a satisfying portrayal as a guy who just can't make his life easier for himself, life worsens for him and it gives the audience just such a spellbinding sorrow full of cries and emotions with what he is really going through. To be precise, it'a a tragedy, and this DC Comics adaption is on another level, is he really a hero? Well... yes and no. Yes, he is trying to make the world a better place, and No, he's the cause of Batman's beginning in a disturbing, murky alleyway. Batman is his punchline if you think about it.
Joker is one of those rare, unexpected entrances throughout the year that really catch the audience and their opinions; either a masterpiece? Or a simple No! Joker, to me, is truly that masterpiece, yes, some scenes got me concerned and nearly haunted me, but with the acting, the rest of the story, and the Batman connection, I couldn't be more impressed, it really is a fantastic film!
It's simply a drama, and as much as Batman's entrance in the film gives fans an exciting surprise, this is the Joker's movie... don't expect Batman to be the surprising cameo, it's not that type of movie!
Overall, a truly 10/10 masterpiece!
So... one small thing about the Oscars and for the BAFTAs, when they bring the Oscar out, can they introduce the name as Joker?!
