Thank you Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2019)

This is a masterpiece.
A bold statement but a true statement,
Ok this movie is getting a lot of hate And a lot of praise at the same time as it is like marmite you will either love it or not understand and fear and hate it, stating that it's promoting ill deads... it's not you need to understand it and remember it's most importantly art in the form of a film/movie.Always keep in mind it's a fictional story with fictional characters, which is difficult to do as the direction and acting are so good.
Now imagine your very darkest thought's and feeling the one's you never tell anyone,the one's that make you feel physically ill and the one's you would never act on because of your ethics your integrity and your morals,now take them time's them by 10 . That's the feeling you get from this extremely dark and thought provoking story of a man who has past the limit of sanity due to ill health and the toll of a negative outside world.
It's upsetting and moving to see such atrocities, the cruelty of man against his fellow man..
But this is true to Life,if you treat someone so badly you will break them,if life is so bad to you it will effect you, the portrayal of this side of man's inhumanity to Man is superbly portrayed by Joaquin Phoenix he pulls you into the suffering in a way that you don't want to be pulled in.The violence that insues is an equal and opposite reaction to the original actions in Arthur fleck mind, a man that suffers from mental health issues and is then bullied, beaten and mentally abused by every one around him.
During the film you feel sorry for him you feel sickened by him and you feel hate for him, the sign of a truly good performance.
I don't want to Go into any further details as I'm not the type of person to spoil it for others.
The lighting the camera work and music are a perfect backdrop for this truly disturbing glips into a comic book villians backstory...a true testiment to a great director.
My leaving comments would be looking back at the real world and some of it's band wagon hopping on statements...
This is a movie,a piece of art, and an excellent movie it is.
If you as a person can't handle how dark and disturbing it is then that's okay just walk out, it's perfectly fine to do so
But please don't trash it cause it wasn't for you.
Its not promoting gun crime
It's not demoting mental health issues
It's not promoting violence.
It's a film
