Joker Review i
Hamad Saif Al Reyami

Still after 3rd time watching Joker I do not know what stopped me from reviewing this Film? I will try my best to Review it! Although There are many Reviews and videos published for Joker but what I will say it will not be a spoiler .
The story from the Joker perspective:
My name is Arthur, someone who is undesirable in this society. Even my lean body doesn't attract anyone! My mother is a sick person and I take care of her and she is the only person who I admire in my life.
I enjoy watching (Murray ) program on television, which adds to me some kind of tenderness which is lost in my life .
A new life starts for me and I get to know my feelings clearly and what I need gradually forming.
The rest of the events I will not tell you here and it is better to identify it by watching the film, and Hamad Saif Al Reyami will complete to explain my and everyone performance who worked in making my character.
Since the Joker film has become an important phenomenon in the world of cinema and entered the atmosphere of the Oscars there are so many opinions and gossips has been talked about the film, so let me first to talk about the negativities of this movie, yes there are many negativities from point of some called critics!
Some said that Joker glorifying crimes and born more criminals in the so city. My answer is simply: Did (Godfather) which is considered one of the most beautiful works in cinema, trained criminals on how to shoot the gun and kill people by cold mind?
what about (Robert de Niro) character in (Taxi Driver) who have obsession with anti-society, where he became a criminal of nothing, did this character contributed to deployment a large number of terrorists, and this is also one of the glorified films in the cinema ?!
Therefore, the subject has nothing to do with artistic criticism. The conflict came from critics who may be professional in expressing their views on the political or economic issues of society. Some of them can conduct workshops and seminars on family relations. They didn't criticized Joker artistically! so this topic finished , some general public and viewers, who didn't like Joker were in small numbers and this is their right, but if we get to know each other closely, we will find most of them fans of (speed) or (super heroes) movies, I belive they were shocked by the Joker who is radically different from all the characters which been played in the series of ( Batman) and some of them come to the cinema hall just enjoy eating popcorn with a loud sound from their mouth , so how they can follow the film carefully! here I will start my critical review this movie.
What did Todd Philps done to make this film so special?
There are several important points exploited by Todd Philps the director of Joker which made me lay and magnetization my mind for two hours!
Todd used many technical skills I will mention some of them by my point of view :
The colors of the curtain in (Murry) show is similar to joker colors. A number of scenes, which contribute to the publication of special pictures and posters of the film in an elegant and mixed.
Every scene in the film looks like a picture from beautiful photograph album because the angles of the (Lawrence Cher), let us me capture now some scenes from the Joker you will find that you got an album from a professional photographs why those scenes looks so beautiful ? it is because of the colors and lighting and deliberate choices of places which fit to come out beautiful, such as graffiti or dyed characters in the window of the bus and make the streets wet and choose places that would copied in our mind like stairs and the metro stations, also he chose winter time for filming this movie to show all characters in thick clothes with multiple colors which match with the Joker mask.

Moreover, most scenes were filmed at night to add the atmosphere of the film Grief and melancholy
.
Technical things can be handled easier than before and this may be a small percentage to make this film attractive, which was written by Todd and (Scott Silver) since 2017, joke character is completely different from previous films of ( Batman), so that is the challenge In writing the this kind of character
In order to prove this thing, the writers of the film have drawn characters and scenes in depth as I mentioned about visuals work ,here you will see new things in the character of the Joker like his laughing styles . anger lough, laugh sarcastically at society
, a laugh of pain and sorrow, and of course laugh just for laughing.
Each of his lough has different tone and a different of sound and there is a sad smile full of grief that we didn't feel in previous Joker characters.
The character of the Joker was painted on paper as Lean body to show a special aesthetic across the screen and this makes viewers involuntarily motivated enthusiastically to encourage this Joker, especially when he has the feeling of freedom from restrictions.
A special dance scene was added to the Joker, which is also a deliberate addition to explain his psychological state.
Blending psychological things in the film such as laughter when joker is in tension this thing never been written before in any film! Mostly those kind of situation used to show criminals in this kind of laugh scenes just to show the fierce character! but here you are very sympathetic to the Joker and laughing because of mental illness, this The behavior made me to study this character, through which you can deduce many things from human behaviors, whether positive or negative and here I find negativity more which is often the dominant and this contributed a lot in the sympathy with the character we see across the screen.
To support Joker story writers imagine this character in the beginning of the 80s were in which the revolution was fabricated in New York and of course in the film was based on the fictional city ( Gotham ) known in the Batman series ,some real events used here, Such as a commercial featuring Clint Eastwood in his age of 40s, as well as the title of a movie outside a cinema theater called (Zorro, The Gay Blade ) Which was released in 1981.
Soundtrack and music has been very appropriate in this film, when we talk about music and songs in Hollywood we recall romantic films like the legendary film (Titanic) with the famous song of (Celine Dion) or the music of the most famous gangsters film in the history (The Godfather) which carried special music
It stays as an echo in our ear And whenever you hear it anywhere, the godfather returns in your imagination
So this dark film( Joker ) carried songs and music from Hildur GuÃ°nadÃ³ttir
, all songs are accurate and was great choices in which made perfectly for the situation like the song (It's Life) comes in a scene that represents the life of Joker who made a decision for himself.
In my opinion, the bath dance music will be remain as one of the best art in the Hollywood music because of the aesthetics of the scene which beautifully directed by balanced dance, this was one of the important scene in the film and of course the instrument which is used for this tune was effective its called (Haldorophone)
Hildor coordinated her melody and experience for years until she made this to the joker.
The cast may have been less importance because of the the Joker character, but every character in the film present something important, Robert De Niro, who plays a comic television presenter which character remind us of the comic artist in the early 1980s (Robert Babkin). The fact that we did not get used to watching him in these roles, but from the 1st scene of him he enters with a musical welcoming which made me feel that he entered the mode of this character watch him in the climax scene with joker where he deliver great impact! Zizi Betz in the role of Sophie and her analogy with the formation of the fingers of her hands as a gun which is similar to the (taxi driver) character has a special role in the film, Francis Conroy as Arthur's mother does not have many dialogues but her impact is important in the conduct of the Joker life, Brett Cullen plays the role of Thomas Wayne Candidate for Gotham City is an important role in the formation of the Joker character.Joaquin Phoenix, will be known as Joker by many people even for who do not go to the cinema , he Calculates and estimates his role which was written on the paper, the control on his face, especially when he smile and laugh, and the style and the tone of his dialogue delivery is completely different from his previous films, I became watching him in two parts in the film, but you can recognize him by sound of laughing, His lean body is perfectly consistent with the character whether in the movement of walking or jogging as well as his face properly formed at the height of his cheeks up after the smile feel it is a perfect image of the character of the Joker which gives you the impression that no other actor can be suit to this role, honestly Joaquin made this role Immortalizing in the memory of Hollywood Although it is early to say that, but what Joaquin done is not seen for several years from any actors ! it will be so difficult for anyone to bag the best actor award this year from Joaquin ,will they need a miracle indeed for that!
Director Todd Philps has succeeded in giving us important lessons of feeling different cinema experience , the Paranormal world of DC comics has adapted the dramatic and human art very well , the question is whether DC will be continue to work on this ideas for other characters or it is just in case for the Joker?
The movie may be two hours long, but you will live with it for a long time. For those who refused Joker, They have to watch it again so that they will not lose the chance to savor this film which difficult to have in our time!
5 stars out of 5
