Psychological Masterpiece

Rating: 10/10 (27 October 2019)

For those going to watch it I seriously recomend paying close attention to the progression of his mental illness, do not watch this movie just to say you saw it. Try and admire every aspect on how he got to be the Joker. It is trully a Masterpiece!!
Going in, I knew I was going to watch a good movie. I am very surprised by the public's positive reaction to the movie, I never would have thought that everyone would actually get the complex character development Phoenix portrays. Absolutely mesmerizing performance by Joaquin. I loved how not everything was as it seemed and still got to dive in so deep into the Joker's mental issues. What I also liked about the movie was the fact that even though he was seemingly unstable, he could actually control his emotions by dancing and relaxing, by not breathing and coping with anxiety, by mimicking the people around him. I also really liked the scene were he trashes the picture signed by TW. It showed the audience that even if his origin was a lie or not, it still didnt matter, there was no turning back from all the physical and mental abuse he suffered as a child and the innevitable becoming of the Joker character.
Very very pleased this was not another superhero flick, I really like this human portrayal of beloved comic book characters. Trully exceptional, Todd Phillips really went all out on this one!
