The Joker Stands On His Own

Rating: 9/10 (27 October 2019)

Joker
The Joker is similar to the DC Joker character but is not a criminal genius.
The movie was a great depiction of how a person who has been mistreated, lied to, and ignored, totally lacking access to human compassion, can snap.
The acting is top notch, the plot follows the journey of a mind into madness. Not only that, but it makes a statement about the society we live in. There are some really good plot twists and thought-provoking moments here that will prompt self-inspection.
It puts a spotlight on the importance of addressing mental health issues in modern times.
I highly recommend seeing this movie, and not for the comic book tie-in, either. This movie stands on its own and didn't need the context of a comic book character to get it's message across.
