One of the greatest films I have ever seen

Rating: 10/10 (6 October 2019)

So i have seen it twice now with a heavy probability of going a few more if im being honest here.
Its haunting, its brilliant, its tragic, its beautiful, its funny, its dark, its sad, its funny...its Joker.
We have finally been blessed with every iteration of the joker their is. From the clown and the gangster, to the anarchist and the unhinged, but now we finally have the madman and the showman. Phoenix brought everything to this performance and with Phillips crafted a Joker thats elegant and chilling. Both times I have seen it I have walked away with more questions and more theories. But theres a grace in Phoenixs performance. A dance. He glides through these scenes
In a way i thought no actor would do with the joker. Its beautiful and painful and a pure expression of the soul. The bathroom scene alone...awestriking. (not a spoiler its in the trailer) Phoenix has done it folks. Ledger would be so proud
I cant remember the last time i have seen a movie this good. Elements of the godfather, taxi driver, king of comedy, the killing joke, the dark knight/the dark knight returns, mark hamil, a clockwork orange, requiem for a dream, one flew over the cuckoos nest, psycho, silence of the lambs...the list goes on.
The MUSIC and the cinematography are truly some of the best I had ever seen. You are left powerlessly mystified by Phoenix and Phillips dedication to the project.
Its a masterpiece in every sense of the word
Nothing in the last year or hell the last decade even TOUCHES how great this movie is...
Its not for everybody thats for sure, its a stiff drink to swallow.
I remember everybody being surprised when i said Endgame was not the comic book movie i was waiting for in 2019. I knew there was something special about this movie when i saw the screen test.
Never in my life would I think a movie like this would exist...but it does....and people are starting to notice...
