Review of Joker
Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed by Todd Phillips. The film is based on a DC comics mainstay known as Joker. This film stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker, giving him origin story set in 1981, the film follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian who turns to a life of crime and chaos in Gotham City. The film became the highest grossing R-rated film over the past week surpassing the dead pool films. Even though critics are not a big fan of it and even with all the bashing it was getting from news networks it still got good reviews from the audience. The Joker movie has been getting a lot of attention since it was announced, so I thought this could use my opinion since I have been watching movies my whole life. The Joker movie was a dark and a compelling origin story of a man's painful journey to self destruction. This type of story telling goes along with the comic called the "Killing Joke" with the message of one bad day can ruin a man. When I watch the film I did feel bad for Arthur in the beginning; however, thought the film as you see him go down the rabbit hole you kinda see why and how he ended up like this.(Spoiler Alert) As you watch and start to question why did all of this happen like of did a crazy women adopt a child, and why didn't Thomas Wayne get Arthur's mother put away and get Arthur back into the orphanage. Thought the film I did feel unconformable, but i'm sure that was the feel this film was going for, to give the audience an uneasy feeling. However the film was entertaining definitely not for the faint of the heart. I would say if you get the chance go and give it a watch, but don't go out of your way to give it a see.
