Is there a need for a box-office uprising?

Rating: 10/10 (21 December 2019)

You have to see this film to believe it. It's a masterpiece. More so in a world where comicbook-blockbusters and cash crabs rule Hollywood. Todd Philipps and Joaquin Phoenix did what nobody in their wildest dream could imagine: to make one of the most profitable movies with a small kind of art-house film in the DC-Batman-universe. Thanks to Philipps and Phoenix, a great many young people watched for the first time an honest movie which was made with a very special vision and told almost perfectly the story about a man struggling with life and how society interacts with him. The soundtrack alone is worth the admission. But the performance of Phoenix is out of this world. After I saw the soulless, brainless Star Wars 9 episode, I wonder when will the audience break away from movies which scripts are written from marketing and merchandising hacks. It seems there is a strong need for a box-office uprising.
