Utterly Spectacular

Rating: 9/10 (11 May 2020)

I cant possibly know where to start with the masterpiece that is Joker.
Firstly the director creates an excellent thoroughly felt blend of fear and a contrasting vibe of sadness. The Hatred previously felt for the joker is slowly melted away by an excellent portrayal from Joaquin Phoenix. The poignant story of the mental health issues surrounding the character hit hard especially in today society and although it never condones the jokers actions, it does help give some insight as to what fuels the joker. The silent desperation of the character who seeks help and knows not how to find it is only matched by the Pointless inefficient help society has given him. The story is full of twists and turns and if I have one piece of advice it's to question everything. The plot is very consistent and moves at the right pace for the shocks to be thoroughly felt. I even question whether anything I saw was real after watching this film. Through all the mental issues the Film devels in, theres always an underlying message of the dark side of society who applaud this joker for his actions. However its not a 10/10 for me and heres why...
the film is titled the joker however for me nothing in here indicated that it was the same joker heath ledger brilliantly portrayed in The Dark Knight... This film might as well be a film about any troubled person however titling the joker obviously brings in more profits so that's what they did. Also I find the ending rather unconvinving. How on earth can a celebrity guest bring a gun into a chat show? and nobody questions his decision to where make up? was the ending real? I have to admit though the lack of clarity really fuels the mystery which is the reason I adore this film.
In short if you want a film that will satisfy you and keep you engaged right until the very end I completely reccomend this film to you.
