A must watch for everyone

Ok I know I am late on this one....I waited till Joker came out on digital because I wanted to watch it without distractions. In reference to the job I do, I know the impact of mental illness plays in today's society. It is disheartening to see that people with serious and true mental health issues are shuffled in a system that over burdened and under funded. This does not include addicts and malingeres.
I greatly appreciate this movie because it shows the spiraling decent of a man that needed serious attention. It shows the impact that abuse and domestic violence causes on the mind. This movie was panned by critics that couldn't wrap their simple minds that these issues in the mental health system, leave those who truly need help lost and tied to red tape.
People need see past the comic book lore we have grown to know and see that this movie is a story on today's society and the violence that one untreated can cause.
Look past whether or not Jaquine Pheonix deserves an oscar (which he truly does besides the point) and see that we need to take better care of those in our country that need help. We need hold the value of every life in highest regard and hold the oppressive bureaucracy accountable.
This movie not just a work of art, it is a dissertation of the world today. Watch it and learn from it. It needs to be known that one man can cause chaos that affects the world. Every actor that has played the Joker has put there own spin on it. Romero was the maniac, Nicholson was the Narcissist, Ledger was the fanatic, and Pheonix is the reflection. He portrayed the most real and poignant Joker today. Hollywood take notes, people need a dose of reality sometimes and this movie delivered it.
