A Movie to watch

Rating: 10/10 (10 February 2020)

The movie is stunning, beautiful each frame can be stopped and it will be enough to take what it want's to show and its approach on mental illness the execution of the said, by Joaquin Phoenix. This movie is something which everyone has to see it once in their lifetime.
The 80's settings brings a darker filter to it, It also borrows heavily from movies of that era, including "The King of Comedy" and especially "Taxi Driver", in some scenes almost to the point of being a rip-off, which works wonder for it. It feels less like a Superhero/Villain Movie but more of a study.
The movie does not praise violence and it's far from being about making the Joker a "hero" or him starting a movement. Violence is what happens in between and labeling the movie as such is a misinterpretation of the picture.
Finally I think if you change the name of movie and the characters portrayed in it and the integrity of the movie and what they are trying to tell you remains the same then that movie deserves it's praise. Which can not be said about a lot of Superhero movies these days.
