Change

Rating: 9/10 (12 November 2019)

Its a movie about change. Metamorphosis through traumatic events. Joker goes from wanting to tell jokes to being a joke with a terrible set up but a wonderfully violent punchline. He embodies everything we have become as society. All we want is a chance to make our dreams come true without being set up like in reality shows. Joker brings the lie of society on its knees in a 1970s back drop that kind of says what u are experiencing in 2019 is nothing new. Great performances from Gotham City, Joaquin Phoenix, Frances Conroy (she showed me she isnt just good on tv). They made watching Robert De Niro who is a star, feel like watching exactly what he was in this movie, a supporting actor which isn't usually the case. I enjoyed this movie because it did something that no other movie with the Joker has ever done, it showed a bloody, violent side to the character that other movies couldnt do, I would love to see more of Joaquin in this role being violent in a batman movie. Its time for batman to grow up and this movie is how we get there. And if it is then you would be missing out on a great beginning of a beautiful journey in DC and WB cinema!
