This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie is the depiction in the how privilege and mental health can affect someone through the worst of times now in the world mental health can affect people very horribly and how it would change someone for the words someone like Arthur this movie shows that. This movie has murders it shows them very graphically so you have a negative reaction to them because obviously murder is the negative thing but with that you also have to be mature about it and do understand that one of these things can happen that they could happen in real life because this movie is very grounded with no superhero shenanigans it is just about a person who is out of the worst of times it has themes of privilege and it shows this very strategically and openly when joker kills 3 Wall Street kids on a train it's not shown to be a good thing but also shows how they would have the privilege to be seen as the victim's when they were beating up joker on a on the train it also shows the side between poverty in the rich and people not communicating properly with the subplot of joker and Thomas Wayne being son and father this movie is an edgy it doesn't show the things that joker does is in a good way because he is a hurt character end he's it shows the turn of the good person that Arthur was through the bad person that you ever was because of his mental health and the things that he went through and it demonstrates this in this film it's not saying that they're okay but it is showing it because it's an origin story and if you're going to show a villains origin story it's not going to be very nice.… Expand

The way in which Phoenix portraits both fragility and danger onto the same character was amazing, this movie was awkward, funny, sad, enraging, entertaining, all at once.

The film is an ominous take on the origin of the famous DC villain, The Joker. The film is a spectacular display of mental illness, violence and societal divide. But at its core what makes the film so amazing is Joaquin Phoenix's portrayal of The Joker. His eerie performance makes you sympathise with his character but at the same time chastise the decisions he makes as he descends into insanity. The combination of Todd Phillips's Martin Scorsese inspired direction and Joaquin Phoenix's outstandingly realistic performance really make this film something to behold.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. A dark movie in every way. Folks that are bombing on it see this and it frankly depresses them and robs them of hope. After seeing it, I left the theater knowing what the Joker may have been feeling, likewise depressed and hopeless. The gaps left in the Jokers life story before we come to where he has arrived in the movie are easy enough to fill in just because it's the same sad story we have played witness to on the web and in the news for decades now. It's a cruel, cruel world indeed. A movie with a message many folks have obviously already tuned into. It asks if maybe we should all buckle up, this could become a bumpy ride. Thought provoking for sure!… Expand

The slow methodical pacing matching Arthur's hit after hit to his sense of self and the combined growing anger if the city around him, perfectly in step with the tense and impeccable score. It appropriately comments of today's resentment towards the super Rich and thier abuse of the common people and those who need the most help in order to make themselves more money. You can understand Arthur's transformation in the extreme situation he is in. The tension carries on into the final act where you can tell from the get go that it will all come to a boil, but you don't know exactly how. Complaints about violence in this movie are unfounded and foolish. It is frankly mild compared to other movies but touches on volatile issues that effect many people around the world. And if it doesn't scare you in that aspect, then it wouldn't have done it's job.
My only criticisms of the movie would be the amount in which it overtly pulls from other movies, sometimes past the point of homages to feeling a tad weak on it's own feet. But if nothing else it managed to bring the same elements of those movies into a more socially relevant story about an iconic character.
It's just a true shame we won't see this Joker outside of his microcosm.
Go see this movie.… Expand

Wanna hear a joke? What do you get when the media attempts to slander a film against their own nonsensical agenda? You get a damn near masterpiece! Joker, a highly anticipated film of 2019 directed from the man who brought you The HangoverWanna hear a joke? What do you get when the media attempts to slander a film against their own nonsensical agenda? You get a damn near masterpiece! Joker, a highly anticipated film of 2019 directed from the man who brought you The Hangover trilogy, Todd Phillips and starring multi award winning/nominee Joaquin Phoenix as the infamous jester of crime play into one of this year's best cinema. Truly, this movie is a must see for mature audiences and must I say, there is no danger to concern one's self with as there has been far more violently created pictures before. The story is carried vigorously throughout by Mr. Phoenix as a mentally ill man who descends further into his own madness; is well thought and wonderfully played. A multitude of emotion this movie may convey to it's viewer as it will range from dark and sad to some humor with moments of joy when the character reaches his downfall. Much like proven personality disorders that an individual can wildly change their current state of emotion within a short period of time, this movie understands the topic of discussion and is something I appreciate. Robert De Niro, though a short screen time; gives a fair performance and for the remaining supporting cast does equally well. And composer, Hildur Guðnadóttir who also elevated her work into the hit miniseries Chernobyl, brings a harmonious though haunting score that gives the character Arthur Fleck/Joker balletic virtuosity. The only fault I can suggest of the movie is that I feel the protagonist's bullying can be seen as a bit cliché. Again, if you appreciate good filming to an artistically sense of purpose similarly to that of a Martin Scorsese piece, this is a definite must see!… Expand

I think that the interpretation of the Joker's laugh is really original. The idea of a sad Joker whose laugh does not show happiness is for me the more interesting Joker. A sad, complicated character who does not even plan to be a criminal. The circumstances lead him to his true path in life. His tics, his moves, his behavior as a whole built a true crazy character. The dance moves in the film add some extra beauty to his performance. Heath Ledger (another near-perfect performance of the Clown prince of crime) was to me too conscious. He had so many plans and shemes, he had opinions about the society and plans how to test it and this I feel is not typicall for a crazy person. I like the weaknesses of this Joker. The crazy little tics he shows throughout the film. You can see that he is actually a sick man not just because he kills people. The messege is nothing new for the film industy - the little man who is neglected by the society. That is why I gave it 9, not 10. When it comes to comparing the Ledger and the Phoenix interpretation of the Joker I think there are two viewpoints. Some would prefer the Joker to be the apex predator in Gotham, forcing everybody to kneel before him. I prefer the Joker being crazy, emotional, sometimes weak and vulnerable and sad. You will always find something in every movie that you would change. But you should see the movie as it is and you should judge by what you have seen, not by what you would've wanted to see.… Expand

Personally I really liked the movie. It took a somewhat predictable and flat character as the Joker of the comic books that he can't seem to escape from the stereotype of the psychopath mastermind who causes chaos for no apparent reason atPersonally I really liked the movie. It took a somewhat predictable and flat character as the Joker of the comic books that he can't seem to escape from the stereotype of the psychopath mastermind who causes chaos for no apparent reason at all. This leads to an empty plot and it shows a great indifference for the struggles of a person with a mental disorder. On the other hand Arthur Fleck seems a much more relatable figure. He is a person who struggles with his mental illness and who is trying his best to fit into the world. He tries to become one with the crowd and to feel connected with the others, while society seems to never care about him or other individuals that are a bit different than the normal. The Gotham city is appeared to be a dystopia where great social struggles take place. The rich remain rich and the poor must live in the isolation, the crime and the fear of survival. There is no providence for their lives and their health and most of them live in misery. Everyone is at the point where they want to rebel against a machine that only works for the rich. Everyone lives a life that is almost unbearable and this is portrayed through Arthur. Arthur tries his best to be a good person, to live a normal life and to make his dream even if it's hopeless to come true. His mental illness is very severe and the state doesn't seem to care at all for people like him. Essentially he is all alone in a world where he is considered a freak that can easily turn to a scapegoat. With this kind of indifference and isolation the character develops and falls little by little into madness. It's the society's ways that committed the crime before Arthur did it himself. At this point the movie builds a lot into the character of Joker and gives him a certain depth to realize that he isn't a farfetched character, but a normal person who suffered and was pushed to crime by an estranged society that cheers the social differences. I like how the movie plays with the layers of truth from the start till the very end. I like how everything seems to lead to a certain structure and then this structure is being destroyed as if to portray how a human can feel deconstructed by the coldness of his surrounding environment. I believe that the movie is essentially social and makes us all feel a little more sympathy for people with mental illness as well as contemplate on our way of life and the dangers the system may hide. The clown uprising in the town is nothing but the eruption of accumulated misery in a society where only the rich can flourish, while the poor are always being neglected and walked upon. It's not the first time that someone even a murderer becomes an idol for his actions when such social struggles take place and this is what makes this movie real. The actors were all amazing, the cinematography was breathtaking, the protagonist is simply brilliant and the plot is essentially deep and meaningful. I like all the associations the plot can enable with sociology, psychology, literature and history. I love to see the building of a character and I find that certain scenes were simply amazing and ingenious. One of them must be the Joker meeting young Bruce. We don't have two mortal enemies there, but a troubled man who wants to find the truth who tries not to scare of a little boy. Yes he is manipulative towards him but at the same time he has nothing against him and throughout the movie we see that Arthur was very friendly towards the children. It gave me chills to see their interaction to be so friendly and simple knowing that later on they will be enemies. I really liked the idea to connect the arc of Joker with Bruce's loss of his parents since it shows that in reality we don't have a black and white picture but many shades of gray in between. Every action has a reaction and even if the first seems right to one there's always a different perspective. The same applies with the reality. Some choose to see the story of Joker to be nothing but a joke he made while he was talking with his psychiatrist (as to say a very pessimistic and nihilistic turn to what makes us humans) but at the same time someone can read this scene differently. All of his story could easily happen and it makes a lot of sense according with what we saw to feel sorry and a certain sympathy for this troubled character. Yet everyone seems to forget it all again after the force of the system takes down the uprising. All of these events didn't bring the change he wanted to see, didn't make him more lovable to the crowd didn't give him the happiness he was searching, rather he is portrayed as the villain and the society seems to return to point zero..… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The movie is just awesome...it nails the comic book genre of movies. Never in the movie I thought that it is justifying the acts of Joker. His gradual descent into madness is gripping and full of surprises. There are some flaws in the movie cause no movie is a masterpiece. The Batman origin connection was surprising and a bit clumsy too. But the movie really does a good job. Joaquin is phenomenal and the direction by Todd Phillips is to the point. Lastly the movie makes you think about our society and the class division. It's social message is clear. It tells about mental illness and the child abuse. The movie's message and art is brought to life by Joaquin phoenix. He will hold you and never let you leave his grief and his belief. Definitely an Oscar worthy performance.
In the last scene the fully fledged joker is dancing on a wrecked police car. Symbolising whenever law is at its loose end(symbolised by the wrecked police car) a joker is born i.e. an evil entity is born. When society is damaged joker is born. It's upto us now to think whether we need a joker or a society that is clean and fit for all… Expand

This movie is fantastic. I wouldn't put this in my top 10 movies but it would be in a top 100. It makes you feel bad for Arthur and Joaquin Phoenix is probably the best part of the movie. I don't really understand why people don't like it.

Once the trailers started coming out, it became clear that the film would go in a very different direction than any previous movie featuring the Joker, and that it (very shockingly) had the potential to be actually good. After hearing great things about it which indicated that it wouldn’t be at all like I originally expected, I decided to see the film.

Arthur Fleck is so unlike previous incarnations of the Joker that it’s insulting to even consider him to be the same character. Instead of another badly written, disgusting, and monstrous überedgelord, we got a believable, lifelike, and compelling character who barely resembles the Joker. To put it more simply, other Jokers are characters written for edgelords, while Arthur is a realistic portrayal of an edgelord.

The film reflects America’s current fears of political violence, violent mobs, and spree killers. Arthur is white, male, mentally ill, has become misanthropic due to feeling that society has abused and abandoned him, and seeks attention from committing atrocities, all of which are common traits among today’s spree killers. The film is not an endorsement of violence, but an exploration of the mindset of a killer. The film is very melodramatic, but that isn’t a bad thing. Each incident that pushes Arthur further into evil is reminiscent of situations that inspire real life violence, not to endorse the violent acts, but to explain the motives behind them. A film tackling a question of “why” these acts of violence happen is needed in an age where they seem to happen so often.

Part of the reason that Black Panther was good was because it greatly distanced itself from the shared universe that it was part of. Joker takes this further by distancing itself from the entire superhero genre. In fact, the only reason that this is a superhero movie are a few place and character names that could’ve been changed without impacting the plot, but as nice as it would be, a major studio would never put so much money and effort into a film like this unless it was tied to a lucrative franchise like DC/Batman. I’ve previously said that Black Panther is the only superhero film that deserves to be nominated for an Oscar other than Best Visual Effects, but I believe that not only does Joker also deserve to be nominated in several Oscar categories, it possibly even deserves to win them. Like how I expect Black Panther to be a fluke for Marvel, I expect Joker to be a fluke for DC, being the one example of the company making a good film despite the odds.

Talking about the film’s context and comparing it to other works doesn’t really capture everything that went into making this movie good. The cinematography was better than any film I’ve seen recently, with most shots seeming to be carefully and deliberately constructed, the original score is haunting and sets the mood perfectly, dialogue is consistently well written, the actors do a great job of bringing the characters to life, and every scene stands out as memorable and potential classics. Overall, a very well made film.

Anyway, Joker is brilliant, even though an overused saying it is a piece of art. Phoenix's interpretation is fresh, immersive and utterly engaging. If you're a fan of the character, see the film. If you're not, still see the film. An honest 9/10 - I think (in a non spoilery way) that if instead of the film ending where it did, if it had an extra 15-20 mins then it would be a 10 from me, considering the contents of the final act.… Expand

Holy, f’n, sh*t.

Those were the words that were running through my mind while watching Joker. I can’t believe this movie exists. That it somehow got greenlit by Warner Bros, in a time where Disney/Marvel reign supreme with their theme-park formula. It wasn’t that long ago that Warner’s meddled with Zack Snyder’s Justice League because it was too dark. What Todd Phillips does with Joker is infinitely darker than anything Zack Snyder did with DC. That alone is a minor miracle. Add to that fact that Joaquin Phoenix, a true A-grader in the world of acting, was convinced to take on the role, in a property that he does not find traditionally attractive, and we have a movie that shouldn’t exist.

But we do, and thank the film gods for that!

Joaquin Phoenix owns the part, chews up every scene, and brings his A-game to the movie. He is magnetic in the role; you can’t take your eyes off him. Watching him transform from Arthur Fleck into The Joker is a thing of dark, somber beauty. There is a line in the movie that says “I use to think my life was a tragedy, but now I realize it’s a comedy.” make no mistake, watching a mentally ill person that is shunned by a society which lacks empathy, slowly deteriorate into a homicidal maniac, is a tragedy. This movie hits hard and doesn’t hold back with its message.

The score by Hildur Guðnadóttir is brilliant. She manages to capture the mood of the setting and Arthur’s mindset so well. I can’t imagine the movie without this score. The cinematography is great. The colours, the lighting, the close-ups of Joaquin, and in particular, a shot of Joker standing on top of a cop car embracing the chaos he inspired, it’s a thing of beauty. I also liked the addition of a couple of songs from the era it’s set in. Props must be given to the supporting cast, even though they didn’t have too much to do because of the movie’s strong focus on Arthur, but did great with what they had, in particular, Robert Deniro.

And lastly, the biggest surprise from this movie, is the director, Todd Phillips. When I first heard the news of a Martin Scorsese produced Joker origin movie, the hype within started. Then Joaquin Phoenix got attached to the leading role; the hype picked up the pace. And then Todd Phillips, the director of The Hangover Trilogy attached to direct, the breaks on the hype train were pulled or at least slowed down. I kept the faith that’d be good because if the project had Scorsese and Phoenix interested in it, then it had to be good, so I backed their judgment and subsequently backed Phillips, and I must say, they got it right. I hope to see more serious movies from Todd Phillips; the guy can pull them off.

If you want to see a tour-de-force performance from one of the world’s best actors and a hard-hitting movie that doesn’t hold back its punches and doesn’t apologize for them, if you want to be left speechless by the end, then you have to see this movie. It is one of the best films of 2019, and the hype of its brilliance couldn’t be any more correct. The movie is not about an incel who couldn’t get laid, so he goes loco, like some of the media are portraying it to be. This movie is a warning about society’s inability to deal with its unfortunate inhabitants in an empathic way. It’s funny how the media lays into these “incels” as some of the characters lay into Arthur in the movie. Life imitating art, I guess.… Expand

Joker es la película basada de un cómic más poderosa, bella y trascendental desde El Caballero de la Noche de Christopher Nolan. La belleza de Joker está envuelta por una ambientación tétrica, depresiva, caótica, en una ciudad sucia,Joker es la película basada de un cómic más poderosa, bella y trascendental desde El Caballero de la Noche de Christopher Nolan. La belleza de Joker está envuelta por una ambientación tétrica, depresiva, caótica, en una ciudad sucia, corrompida política y socialmente. Todo esto converge con un sentimiento poderoso de humanidad a través de los ojos de un hombre solitario, dolido y quebrantado.

Hay dos puntos que me gustaría resaltar, primero, esta cinta puede parecer pretenciosa para algunas personas, hay mucho diálogo de exposición que resaltan lo obvio, empero, hay momentos sin diálogo que, a través de la música, de la fantástica fotografía y de la magistral interpretación de Joaquin Phoenix, la audiencia puede apreciar la caída de Arthur y el nacimiento de su alter ego, el Joker. -la escena del baile en el baño es un claro ejemplo de lo anterior-. La crudeza de las imágenes, la violencia, y una clara crítica al sistema capitalista hacen de Joker una cinta compleja y para nada olvidable. Es bastante obvia la inspiración sacada del maestro Scorsese en sus cintas “Taxi Driver” y “El Rey de la Comedia” -ambas interpretadas por Robert De Niro que también aparece en esta cinta-. Segundo, ignoren la controversia sobre la tonta idea de que esta cinta incita a la sociedad a cometer actos ilícitos, los críticos solo analizan la forma pero ignoran el fondo, lo cual es triste pues esta película transmite valiosos, bestiales y poderosos mensajes que son de gran relevancia en la actualidad.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Great Cinematography, Shady Dark Ugly Retro settings, and music was good for normal person. I didn’t think to get such a Violent Deep scary movie from a director who directed all funny movies like The Hangover series..!! Secondly the name of Movie was quite oppotise to story. No doubt, ground breaking performance by Jaoquin. The person who lost his 20kg wight for pscyhc role. Story of Arthur Fleck ( Joker) A person who has history of multiple psychic disorders because of his horrible childhood, his mother also faced some mental issues. Arthur chooses to express his anger by killing the bad people, who didn't understood his mental condition, disporportional laugh according to situations.

His expression of intolerance starts with killings of 3 men in a subway teasing a girl in a metro then his collegue who guides him in wrong way to take away his job, then his colleague, his mom, then kills his favourite host of a famous reality show who uses people like him and mean while his expression of suppression gives him craze in old suppressed society which makes Joker feels Proud about him and ends up killing Thomas Wayne, the mayor of Gotham and finally lands him in a Psychiatric ward. #PersonalOpinion: I think, there are two ways to express extreme level of depression, one is by killing yourself ( Sucide), other is by killing those, who are reason of your depression. People reach at this Extreme level, when we ignore them, we don't listen what they exactly want to say, what they want us to understand, we simply assume more, reach at conculsions. If our so called civilized society will continue, this behaviour with one another, it will lead to a dark, disorganized and full of people with paradoxical laughter only.… Expand

The story is compact, effective, well paced and a powerful ending.There is an excellent mix of reality and his delusions which leaves the viewer guessing(one of my favorite parts).There are some downsides that the character may be too sympathetic. That’s not the Joker from The Dark Knight, Dark Knight Returns or Killing Joke. Sure, he may eventually be the villain we know in the comics. But this isn’t the Joker we know. This is the Joker you sympathize with, and that makes Joker less scary. Disturbing, but not scary.
