Um "dedo na ferida" na sociedade contemporânea, um filme que leva o tema de quadrinhos, e super heróis, a um outro nível. Enquanto isso, o Joaquim Phoenix encontra o seu auge de atuação. Até este o momento é o meu filme favorito de 2019.

This being an original Joker take, allows the creator the freedom that he has and he uses it perfectly.

When I saw the trailer at first, I wrote it off as another boring movie, but I have never been so wrong in my life. This is the first time I have watched a movie twice in one day. Absolutely my hats off to the cast and creator! This is an absolute masterpiece, a MUST WATCH!… Expand

Critics are panning this movie unfairly. I actually really enjoyed this movie despite the darkness and realism. Don't listen to the critics, go see it (and judge it) for yourself.

muy buena actuación por parte de Joaquin Phoenix, la he visto mas de una vez pero creo que exageran al catalogarla una "obra maestra", aun así, seas seguidor de los comics o no, el Joker es una película que recomiendo a cualquiera.

Metacritic is a joke, and this review page shows exactly why it is so. Critics are out of touch and overwhelmingly biased, and are thus quickly losing any credibility they might have had left. Their days are surely numbered.

Unfortunately this isn't just an origin story. 2019 joker is a Scorsese-ian quick paced masterpiece. It's deliberate script and demure violent tone seeks to get down to the depth of it's namesake villain. A carefully crafted descent into madness in a society already in the throes of exploitive capitalist violence gives the most chilling depiction of the joker since the charater consumed Heath Ledger. Joaquin Phoenix delivers an unhinged performance as the anti social traumatized Arthur who disenchanted with his life aspires to notoriety despite his own mediocrity. Following a succession of increasingly dispiriting events he begins to unravel just as the world around him burst open in unchecked anarchy . This movie is brilliant but as has been seen in similar art with white male protagonists who face mental illness whilst dealing with toxic masculinity, it has become canonized by the very audience it seeks to critique. Labeled a "dude bro, female manipulator,white supremacist " film isn't to far fetched. That might not be said by the films story itself but is a medium, through Arthur's self pitying isolation ,for their own failures. I do think the aforementioned consequence though further proves the films violent accuracy, just as Midsommar showed how easy it was to be brainwashed into a cult the joker shows us how easy it is to use trauma/mental illness to justify hurting other's. And that the joker shouldn't be admired or as his name suggests laughed at. But should instead be feared as his creation isn't fiction and instead manifests daily in the firm of school shooters,incels, misogynists and misanthropes. It's a warning, not a joke.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Joker came out this weekend with mixed reviews, viewers seemed to (mostly) really enjoy it, while critics reviewed it poorly. I watched it Sunday night, and the theater was mostly empty. I for the most part enjoyed the film myself; with a huge exception. The characterization of the Joker was far from what I expected. Allow me to explain, and please, stick with me until the end. This article will contain some plot point spoilers, so be forewarned! If you have not yet seen the film (and I think that you should), please click away now and watch it first!
I’ll start with what I loved about Phoenix's Joker. His insanity was explained in a way that is believable, his delusions and his ‘condition’ help to shape and mold the character. That being said, I am a firm believer in never explaining the monster, when you do that it becomes less frightening. The way that the film explained it though (since it is an origin story).
The big issue that I took with the characterization is this: The Joker (eventually) will have battles of wits with The Batman, who is, for all intents and purposes, the greatest detective alive. Keeping this in mind, it is imperative that The Joker be equally as intelligent as, if not more than, Bruce Wayne. That is not The Joker that we meet in this film! It is as if the writers placed all the points into luck and none into intelligence! They painted the character as a bumbling fool, he never outsmarted the police, he never tricked the mayor, he just stumbled into a way out of each situation until the end of the film.
It feels like the writers did not understand the source material, or if they understood it, they simply did not care about it. There was no future proofing it. If they created in this Joker an idiot, there is no way that they can have that same Joker face Batman down the road. Like I said, I did enjoy the film mostly, I just took issue with the intelligence of (or lack of) the character.… Expand

Like Arthur, who sits in a dark room and fantasises about a better life, Phillips's Joker wants so badly to be something more than a superhero (or supervillain?) movie.
It tries to be a critique to modern society, but fails at being realistic.
It tries to be an elegy to nihilism, but its protagonist is more of a common criminal than an Übermensch.
It tries to be complex, but its black and white perspective makes it something you would expect in fanfiction. There is nothing new in Arthur's descent into madness and more importantly there is no real conflict. The viewer knows from the start what will happen, he knows that Arthur is supposed to be the victim who finally snaps and gets revenge on the real bad guys (namely everyone else). This movie feels like a "gut punch" to some people because of its emotional intensity - but is this feeling genuine? Or is there something more to it? The writers tried to make Arthur Fleck as real as possible, to make him a tragic character, but in the end it looks like they googled "Buttmonkey" and built him around that concept.… Expand

Featuring a riveting, fully realized, and Oscar-worthy performance by Joaquin Phoenix, Joker would work just as well as an engrossing character study without any of its DC Comics trappings; that it just so happens to be a brilliant Batman-universe movie is icing on the Batfan cake. You will likely leave Joker feeling like I did: unsettled and ready to debate the film for years to come.… Expand

You feel Bruse Wayne's pain and love for the city. You sense the necessity of sacrifice of such social elites to save the city. Joker, on the other hand, tells the story from an entirely different angle. You get to see Gotham from the point of view of a commoner, who struggles at his day to day life, just like all the other commoners, struck by recession, having little to rely on, cheating and hurting others on daily basis just to get by. You get to see the City from the eyes of people who are routinely looked down upon by the Elite, either as trash, or as someone to be "changed" or "saved".

One suggestion for the viewer who is going to watch this movie:
Although from the surface level, the Gotham and the people portrayed in this movie might feels different from the impression you got from Batman movies. Remember that you are looking at the world from the perspective of the Joker. Watch with your existing understandings on those familiar characters in mind. Try and understand the contradictions that you see. Enjoy the movie with this mind set, you will end up with a much deeper appreciation over this piece of art.

Joker is, with no doubt, a dark movie, as what a movie named as Joker should be. Yet with the dark story, it intrigues deep contemplation. Moreover, the social problem this movie portrays actually reflects the ever growing conflicts and dissonance in multiple parts of our contemporary world on many interesting levels. In my humble opinion, this movie is the definition of MASTERPIECE.… Expand

People are going to get upset thinking the Joker is a protagonist that the movie is encouraging you to root for. I highly disagree. This movie is a character-study not asking you to sympathize the anti-hero but to understand him. If you thought you could go to an origin story about a villain and not be uncomfortable then I'm not sure how to console you. The movie is a masterpiece and DC absolutely needs to head in this direction to save us from the cursed Disney Marvel content that has no heart but ironically is praised by the critics.… Expand

I was expecting Joaquin Phoenix's performance to be the only good thing about the movie but I got a lot more. Saying that Joaquin Phoenix was wonderful in his role would be stating the obvious, because pretty much everyone has praised his performance and I agree, he is honestly the best actor of the year so far. Both his acting and the writing of his character is what gives Arthur Fleck/Joker a realism that we have never seen before in any other interpretation of the character. The movie really made me get inside the mind of the title character, to see that he is not just "a crazy person" but that he was a human like anyone else. His journey to become the iconic villain is genuinely interesting, and made me care about the character. That is why I think that the character development and acting are the best things about the movie. Robert De Niro was also pretty good. I thought that he would "phone it in", but he ended up doing a nice job. The cinematography was also pretty good. There is a little amount of visual storytelling(not too much and it isn't like arthouse film level or anything) and the movie looks aesthetically beautiful to be honest.

My issues with this movie are with the script. There were things that felt really cliché and unoriginal. Some of the social commentary is really on the nose and obvious, and when it is included in a conversation it feels more like lazy exposition and takes away from the realism intended. Soms of the plot twists were pretty obvious and the movie treats them as big reveals.
So yeah, some script decisions were really a problem, at least for me, but other than that, this movie was reaaaally good. The gritty realism of Gotham City is done so right, making this a worthy "spiritual successor" to Nolan's Dark Knight Trilogy.… Expand

"Wired" wrote it is "useful for teaching young people who Travis Bickle is". But is it so necessary to know "Taxi Driver"? And then is this "Joker" reducible to a remake only of that movie or of "The King of Comedy" (1983)? If anything, it's a Scorsesian roundup in which minor works are often better than major ones, and Todd Phillips is adept at paying homage also to the first ones, from the sequences on the stairs of "New York, New York" (1977) to the ambulances of "Bringing Out the Dead" (1999). It's a film that flows fast, but that is so much a merit as a defect: for example, there is no serious deepening of the (bidirectional?) link between psychic discomfort and social unease, a "praise of folly" more exhibited than explained, or of the problematic integration of subjectivity into the Warholian world of entertainment (and in fact the failed seminarian dedicated an entire film to each of these aspects). In short, it lets itself be seen, often even to its detriment. And I would have left the invasion of mice at the Camus of "La Peste" (1947).… Expand

Well after the scissors scene I think this movie became one of my favorites and really is a breath of fresh air in the stale film industry as of late.

It's not afraid to offend, takes **** at everyone, and Phoenix's performance, while it took a bit to evolve into what I would call great, it got there and left me wanting more, immediately.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Well, that was dark... I do have some trouble with specific dark content as it usually strays away from the artistic wonder that it needs to serve a purpose. When I walked in to see this film, I had butterflies in my tum-tum as I didn't know how the dark subject matter could be handled. Then I saw this experience. I love this film for the same reason that I love A Clockwork Orange. **** up content that is handled with dignity. Making the audience empathise with Arthur until he lashes out. It's a perfect balance. The score is masterful, Joaquin Phoenix's performance actually makes me jealous on how good it is. I do say that it does have some issues such as Bruce Wayne being involved for fan service. (However, I do like how they recreated Batman's origin). There really wasn't any importance with him and the illusions do seem a bit of an excuse for some flaws such as Joker shooting Murray because, "why does that camera keep broadcasting this"? or "How come Murray didn't expect Joker to game-end him with a gun"? But, in the end, I don't care. A very good film that is worth your time.… Expand

Amazing, suprising and truly creative! Unlike any superhero movie I've seen before, very artistic and pleasing to watch. Joaquin Phoenix did great job, easily the best joker right after Heath Ledger.

This movie is a must watch. Finally they have made a great DC universe movie again without trying to copy Marvel formula and did their own thing. joaquin Phoenix's acting is amazing.

Now, I intentionally avoided seeing this movie when it came out.Well, I FINALLY got around to seeing the controversial and wildly popular film, Joker: the most profitable comic book movie and the highest-grossing R-rated movie of all time. Now, I intentionally avoided seeing this movie when it came out. Not because I wasn’t interested in seeing it or because I thought I wouldn’t like it, but because of the hype and the controversy. Seemingly, all the reactions were either “If you like this movie, you’re an incel and a school shooter!” or “If you don’t like this movie, you’re an SJW and a shill!” and I just hate that black-and-white mentality when it comes to movies, or anything really. I find it really obnoxious. I was sick of hearing about it everywhere so I just stayed away. However, months later, the hype has died down, no one has gotten shot or killed because of this movie and it’s finishing its theatrical run. I paid $5 and saw it at the second-run theatre. What did I think of it? I loved it, but this movie is not perfect. I’ll get the negatives out of the way first since there aren’t a lot of them. I thought the writing was way too unsubtle, obvious and on-the-nose. This film is very clear about what it is saying and it hits you on the head with it, almost like they’re dumbing it down for audiences who aren’t used to watching introspective dramas like this and otherwise wouldn’t if it weren’t based on a famous comic book supervillain. It can make you roll your eyes sometimes. There weren’t too many of those moments for me, but your mileage my vary. Also, there really was no point in setting this in the late 70s/early 80s. I know it’s paying homage to famous Joker stories from the 80s like The Killing Joke and The Dark Knight Returns, as well as Martin Scorsese movies from the 70s and 80s like Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy, but you can do an homage without making a period piece. You could set the story in modern-day and it wouldn’t change at all. In fact, some things would make more sense if it were set in a world of social media and mobile phones. You’ll see what I mean if you see the movie. I also think some aspects of this movie would’ve been stronger if they showed rather than told. This movie needed more flashbacks, it would’ve been way more powerful. However, with all that said, I still loved it. I thought it was great. This movie is not fast. It’s not fun. There isn’t much action or comedy. It’s darker and more serious than The Dark Knight. Just know that going in. This is not your typical comic book movie. It’s more A History of Violence than The Dark Knight. Joaquin Phoenix’s performance as the titular character is INCREDIBLE. He’s both sympathetic and scary and adds so many little nuances and special touches to his performance to make it completely his own. This Joker is very much unlike any other Joker we’ve gotten in other movies. It was refreshing, especially after the Suicide Squad fiasco. A lot of the other performers aren’t half bad either, it was cool to see Robert DeNiro in a comic book movie. This movie is beautiful. It’s shot really well and I loved the setdressing. Everything is dirty and grimy and disgusting with garbage everywhere, we’re a long way from the Gotham City of Joel Schumacher’s Batman movies! The score was also haunting and beautiful, with some great music choices for the soundtrack. No Twenty One Pilots here! I also thought this movie was really thematically rich and relevant. It has tons of social commentary about mental health, class, bullying, abuse, trauma, social isolation, gun violence, the media and more. Some might say this film bites off more than it can chew, it does try to juggle a lot of different themes at once, but I think it worked. This movie also connects with the larger mythology of Batman in very clever ways, leaving the door open to possible sequels and spinoffs. I don’t want that, personally, but it’s cool that this movie is also a Batman origin story, in a way. Joker and Batman are still two parts of a whole, even in Joker’s own movie. Overall, Joker is a flawed but great movie. It’s not for everyone and I definitely understand where a lot of the criticism of the film itself is coming from, but I still loved it and recommend it to any fan of psychological character studies or crime dramas, not just superhero movies. I hope it wins some Oscars!… Expand

Если DC, выберет для себя ЭТОТ курс и в жанрах комиксах, будут эксперименты подобные "Логан" или "Джокер", то данный жанр наполнится смыслом, а не уйдет/съедет в пучину забвения как когда-то фильмы про вампиров, которыми травили в нулевые.… Expand

The movie does a great job as a cautionary tale on the dangers of the epidemic of mental illness of our time and of the urgent need to shed a new light on it. It has the audience questioning the unnecessary inequalities that surround us and the imperstive need to reflect deeply on the social movements that promise change from a place of resentment. While Joker tumbles between reality and fantasy he’s at times frightening, seductive, pathetic, repulsive and endearing. He’s so right at questioning the sanity of a world that has him completely disenfranchised that I found myself rooting for him to get justice although I could never condone his violence. He just deserves to see that world go up in flames, and the world definitely deserves this son for no one could deny that he has come from its loins.… Expand

This movie is about a man who you may think loses himself, or finds himself. I think that he was only able to find himself after losing himself. But the one thing that makes this Joker so unique is that he's human. You can see the man behind the makeup, a man who's just hurting.
