Incredible, just incredible

Few modern, mainstream films today can be considered art, but this breaks the mould.
I spent the first two thirds of this film in tears, it provoked a very painful reaction from me. Society, in particular, the worst parts of our society, were represented in an extreme way, nonetheless it did depict how we treat each other and especially how we treat people that are different to us.
By the time Joker was unleashed, I was actually glad that he felt freed, confident and enacting his revenge on some of the worst people imaginable. By the end of the movie, I was rooting for him. Very odd given the things he was doing.
The way in which this film was shot is mesmerising, the cinematography, score and Joaquin's acting are flawless. The film retains the comic book feel but is very real.
I've said several times that no interpretation of Joker could eclipse Heath Ledger's, but Joaquin is just next level, some of the best acting I have ever seen.
Joker is a masterpiece.
