Buena, pero algo sobrevalorada solo por llamarse JOKER, un guion con mula profundidad que se basó demasiado en 2 peliculas de Martin scorsesse

To hell with the critics. This is a superlative film about the human condition, our modern-day disconnection, mental health and failing institutions. It's masterfully directed and Joaquin Phoenix's performance is absolutely out of this world.

He is a failed stand-up comedian,Joker is a harrowing tale about a lonely clown who uses props named Arthur Fleck. He is down on his luck and suffering from a mental illness which makes him laugh uncontrollably in uncomfortable situations. He is a failed stand-up comedian, like the Joker's origin in The Killing Joke from the 80's. Todd Phillips does a good job bringing a late 1970's Gotham city to life, as the city looks bleak and gothic. It sets the mood for the film, as Arthur is persecuted and mistreated. As Arthur's mental health diminishes he looses his mental health treatment and eventually looses his mind. He first murders some yuppies who were harassing a woman on the subway. He then murders a coworker and his mother. At this point he is dawning the Joker make-up and purple suit with green hair and referring to himself as the Joker. He goes on a talk show to exact revenge on the late night host Murray, played by Robert DeNiro, who had humiliated him. He shoots Murray in the head and this is televised. In the movie, the Joker inspires some sort of revolutionary movement of the common man against elites, though he claims this was unintended. There are riots in the streets and as a result Bruce Wayne's parents are murdered setting up his origin. I liked the movie, it was suspenseful and kept you guessing, but felt like the Joker character in the movie wasn't faithful enough to the lore as he lacked Joker's abilities and proficiency in chemistry and crime as he was depicted in the original Batman from 1989 and the Dark Knight. Joker from Batman in 1989 and The Dark Knight in 2008 was more true to the source material. Still a solid movie.… Expand

Hard to believe thisJoker is a film that grabs you and never lets go. Phoenix should win easily with his creepy and mesmerizing portrayal of the disturbed Joker, from which all other Jokers before and after— will be judged against. Hard to believe this incredible film was directed by the same director of the Hangover! But Philips has not trouble sinking his teeth into this dark and distributing subject matter that will have you thinking and talking about it, long after the final scene.

It's too bad film critics cannot separate their own political views from honestly reviewing the film on its own merits. I understood film critics were supposed to be professional. Over the years I have seen that they as a community that is more a group of individuals who can be bought, swayed and do not always give their true opinion regarding the films they review. So now i tend to turn to the audience, like Cinemascore and fans ratings, rather than film critics. They are losing their value and worth. Much like award ceremonies today.… Expand

I think until Bruce become a Batman the Joker will be died at this time.

They howeverThere will be inevitable comparisons between Heath Ledger’s Joker in 2008’s “The Dark Knight” for which he won a thoroughly deserved posthumous Best Supporting Actor Oscar, and Joaquin Phoenix’ interpretation in 2019’s “Joker”. They however differ in their raison d’être. Ledger’s Joker was already a villain and showed up as Batman’s formidable foe, and did he show up. Phoenix’ Joker on the other hand gives the origin story, key word "story", of how Arthur Fleck came to be Joker. What makes this movie worth watching is Phoenix’ performance which is nothing short of a tour de force, based on a well-crafted story. Granted, there is violence in the movie, some of which may be over-the-top but it is in no way gratuitous because it makes up an important element of the story.… Expand

It's a great take on mental illness and bullying and how it affects the victim in a suspenseful way fitting for a psychological thriller. The movie draws inspiration from classic films with similar themes like "The King of Comedy". Robert De Niro's casting in the movie is fitting given his role in "The King of Comedy".

Joaquin Phoenix does an amazing job playing The Joker. His performance is extremely flawless and beautiful. While Heath Ledger did a great job with Joker in The Dark Knight, Phoenix's performance is as great as the former, if not even better. Arthur Fleck's a very compelling character, as he goes through a ton of difficult stuff in his life, like bullying and such. He also has a ton of character development as he transforms into The Joker. His struggles also make the viewer want to be thrown into his world so that they can experience how he was treated. The film also works with Arthur's mental illness as it sometimes makes it harder for the viewer to know whether the events he's experiencing are real or not. The narrative also accurately portrays how Arthur's mental health progressively worsens through the film as he begins the movie as a sympathetic tragic person who continuously becomes more violent until he becomes a truly terrible person and a killer. While Arthur's conditions make him a sympathetic victim, his actions are still criminal and the move does paint him as a villain appropriately.

The movie spreads a strong message on hatred, unfair class systems, the dangers of long-term suppression of emotions, abuse towards mental illness, among others with how Arthur is treated by society and his mental state. It also talks about how cruel people can be to others.

Here are a couple of bad things about Although the movie's tackling of mental illness is profound, there are some inaccuracies. Some examples including The pseudobulbar affect, a medical condition that causes people to laugh uncontrollably is a physical disorder rather than a mental disorder. Given his severe declining mental condition towards the end of the movie, Arthur shouldn't have been able to outsmart the detectives. He shouldn't be able to interact with the interviewers after donning the full Joker outfit.

What is the greatest two parts? The famous scene where Joker dances down the step street before he gets chased by the cops is amazing, in addition, the film takes place in at West 167th Street in Highbridge, and another scene where Joker is in a talk show with Franklin, and goes on a joke that society that abandons him and treats him like trash, and threatens him that he deserves him and he instantly kills Franklin is absolutely disturbing to watch.

While the violent moments are infrequent when they do happen, they're intense enough to make the viewer feel uncomfortable with the psychological implications behind the violence.

At the end of the film, we can see Bruce Wayne's family getting shoot by a protester, which it was nice to see Bruce Wayne before he becomes Batman.

It's a very different take on a superhero movie, and it's refreshing to see.

It uses the old Warner Bros. "Big W" logo at the beginning, fitting with the time period this movie is set in.

Unlike other recent DC films that tried too hard to be dark and edgy, Joker manages to be dark and serious by doing it correctly and the dark tone of the film enhances the narrative.

Joker is awesome, and I recommend you to see Joker! :) Hope you like my review! :)… Expand

Joker, based on the DC villian, is a drama movie about Arthur Fleck who through a life of hardship becomes the calamity that is called Joker. It is dark, it is brutal and it is a good movie.

Arthur Fleck was dealt the worst hand imaginableJoker, based on the DC villian, is a drama movie about Arthur Fleck who through a life of hardship becomes the calamity that is called Joker. It is dark, it is brutal and it is a good movie.

Arthur Fleck was dealt the worst hand imaginable when he was born. He was adopted by a delusional, mentally ill woman that had an abusive boyfriend. Other than that, she stood by as this man beat and abused her adopted son... You feel that? That depression? Well now imagine if that kid grows up, becomes a clown while having mental problems, and the city is going through a recess of sorts that cuts the funding of his social worker that prescribes his anti-depressive medication! We meet Arthur when he's already at the edge of falling down, but when he stops receiving his medication and accepts his own emotions towards society's standards, he finally finds himself. And with him Gotham city takes justice in its own hands, becoming sodom and gomorra. What is great, is how we see a very different perspective of Thomas Wayne and the elite class then we are used to from the Batman movies. It is refreshing.

It was an enjoyable watch, with a good performance by Joaquin Phoenix. I give it a 7/10. Though this version of the Joker is interesting, i can't help but feel that Heath ledger's version was more impactfull.… Expand

I’ve had the opportunity to watch it twice now, which if you haven’t, you should. Todd Phillips did an outstanding job directing this film, to my surprise. I watched a video where he said that he had the musical composer read the screenplay and make the music based off of that alone. Phillips then made the scenes with the influence from the music, letting the acting and the tone to go with it as well. Genius. Don’t even get me started on Joaquin Phoenix’s performance. Phenomenal. He is so enticing and believable when he plays Arthur Fleck, from his walking/ mannerisms to the way he laughs. One big thing of previous actors who have portrayed the Joker is to have their own flavor when it comes the “Joker’s laugh”. Joaquin took a more natural and painful laugh with Arthur having Pseudo-bulbar Affect and not being able to control his laughter, even in awkward situations. The fact you can see the pain in his eyes even when he’s uncontrollably laughing just shows how outstanding of an actor Joaquin is. Even though Arthur gets most of the screen time in a movie about him (lol), all the other side characters still feel extremely real. One thing that I’ve come to appreciate a lot about this film and about Todd Phillips, is that it’s not afraid to make you uncomfortable. It makes you question if it’s alright to have sympathy for a psychopath. It shows what can happen when the government and others choose to ignore the mentally ill, and just think nothing of those that it affects. Overall an outstanding movie, I suggest anyone that hasn’t seen it in theaters yet to go watch it! I know I’ll go a few more times!… Expand
