Psychological, Terrifying And...Dark

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2019)

After I left the movie theater, I was trying to ellaborate a thought about the movie and I finally realized, after a while, that I had so many thoughts about it that I couldn't even choose what to think about and that is the true power of a masterpiece movie!
About Todd Phillips... Have mercy, how is it possible passing from a triology of comedy to a very psychological, terrifying, dark and twisted kind of movie? The fact that Todd Phillips embraced the project with open arms, asking for script reviews and trying to define a production model identical as we saw in King of Comedy or Taxi Driver from Martin Scorsese is gratifying! Todd Phillips is a master not just because he did what he did, but because he picked the most loved villain in comic history and he broked all the rules about following the origins story. Instead, he created an alternative character, explored his origins and placed it on a broken society that can actually be seen as the true villain of this story!.
Joaquin Phoenix ( and I never get tired out saying this ) is an excellent, genius and a phenomenon actor. After minus fifty-two pound of weight, discouvering is body afterwards ( related to his movements on the movie ) and still play a character like this... It's is something we can not just say "Eh, good job", because good job are two killer words, what we need to say is "You were epic, you did what you did and now... you are a legend!" Brand new body movements, a brand new laughing is introduced, a great interpretation of the character... what can I say more? He is a legend! He introduced to us a poor man that lived with his mother in a cheap apartement, having a mental disorder that made him laugh in a very uncontrollaby way, full of pain when everything he wanted was...bring joy to the world and put on a happy face, turning Arthur Fleck into a very psychological, terrifying and dark man, known as...Joker!
Congrats to everybody that made this film possible!
