And the hype is real,
Joker (2019) is one of the most compellingly beautiful films ever to be released in recent years, working so well as a dark character study of a broken man turned anarchic icon who wanted nothing more than to matter in the midst of real world troubles of poverty, mental illness and abuse, set in a glaringly realistic take on 1970s Gotham and starring Joaquin Phoenix in an Oscar-worthy performance.
Just a bit disappointed that no one walked out on the theater I was at. That would have been interesting. (A-Hyuck!) Nevertheless, if you are yet to see this, just keep in mind there will be no heroes in Spandex here. Nope. This is pure psychological crime drama with some shocking violence and thought-provoking moments, so if you're easily triggered, here's a
puppy.
Otherwise, good luck and
Keep Smiling!

ReplyDeleteOne of the first films we have got to watch at a theater in the last 18 years.... Did Not expect to much like another "take" on the Joker...
The bits at the End helped to make this film more enjoyable
Why, yes! It can do tricks! Like "sit" and be "not scary at all".
DeleteAh yes, that one bit made me laugh. Kinda glad that despite the overall dark tone, there's some shred of humor in this Joker!
