Theres been a while since a comic book related movie has delivered on all levels. This film I was especially wary of because Joaquin Phoenix is such a great actor sometimes writers and directors he works with over play their hand and butcher films that should be great but end up being a debacle like his outing in 2017 "You Were Never Really Here" but this film "Joker" kind of caught me off guard because writer/director Todd Phillips didn't wrap this film in the usual super villain comic story that plagues the cinema screens giving this film an altruistic or unselfish and realistic dive into the mad mind of the world's most beloved and celebrated villain "Joker". This film may not be a true story but it's hard not to imagine "Arthur Fleck / Joker" having a life that doesn't parallel to thousands of others who lived and felt those similar conditions. I think telling this story in the way Todd reveals it not only pushes the boundaries for cinema but also intertwines our sense of reasoning of what we perceive to be good or bad, and at a time in america as divided as we are the timing for the release of this film seems to be impeccable.
