Brilliant

Rating: 10/10 (6 November 2019)

You probably going to see this movie with high expectations, because you already heard some good reviews. You will not be disappointed. This film is extraordinary and stands out of all the other popular movies this year. While seeing and enjoying it, I had an inner conflict whether I should rate it an 8 or a 9. After leaving the theater i stuck with an 8.5, but to this point, I did not realize what kind of masterpiece I have just witnessed. The days after watching the film i looked up some articles and videos about Joker and started to understand why I could not stop thinking about it. The whole movie can be interpreted differently, depending on how you read some certain scenes. If I had known that Martin Scorsese influenced Todd Phillips about this piece of art, I would have viewed it differently from the beginning. Of course Phillips landed some blockbusters with Hangover, but he can also direct a serious movie, which really builds empathy with the characters. Despite the excellent possibilities of interpretation of the Joker, the music amazed me. Together with the acting and cinematography, it built an absolute fantastic atmosphere and made it much more intense. There are brutal scenes in this film, but they absolutely do not support violence, but support the character and seriousness of the movie. I totally recommend seeing the Joker to all of you!
