Joker is the best movie to release this year. I doubt any movie releasing this year will come close to it. Joker tackles mental illnesses perfectly. Despite the brutalities he's caused throughout the movie, you can't just help yourself but to feel sorry for him. I'd be a liar if I said I didn't cry at least twice during the movie. Fleck really shows how one bad day can drive you over the edge. It perfectly depicts how mental illnesses can drive you to do inhumane stuff. The violence in Joker felt way too real, all the deaths in the film, the 3 Wall Street guys, Arthur's mom, Randall, Murray Franklin. I felt like I was there for the deaths. The death that hit me the most was Murray, it was so sudden and out of the blue. Arthur really looked up to Murray as a father figure, an icon. When Arthur admitted to killing the Wall Street guys, that's when he really turned into Joker. Arthur Fleck was long gone.
Joker really isn't a movie. It's a wake up call. It's a fictionalized documentary. It goes to show how one bad day can destroy your entire life. If you're suffering from mental illnesses, please don't hesitate to ask for help.
