This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. To try and compete with the high standard set by Ledger is an uphill struggle to say the least, but Phoenix's performance captivated me from start to finish. I love the continuity of the character. His portrayal of the character is dark and beautiful but still distinct from Ledger's. He has created his own mannerisms with the character. You can see the hard work he's put into this performance. From the look in his eyes, his stance around certain people. "The Joker" is undoubtebly a flawed person, but I've never sympathised with him before, or at least to the extent that I notice it. I find myself comparing our protagonist, Arthur, to Robert De Niro's character in Taxi Driver. You can see they're excluded from society, spat on, in a city that is rotten. One can sympathise with them at the start, but later on we see the cracks appear.

The film has beautiful moments that tie it all together too. For instance, I appreciate how the beginning and end mirror eachother, and that the character ends up parallel to who he was at the start.
It starts with a smile, and a psychiatrist,
and ends with a smile, and a psychiatrist.
Arthur at the start is trying to be happy in an oppressed and dysfunctional world.
Arthur at the end is happy his life means something and he's bringing opportunity for people to make themselves happier through revolution, with the wall of the class divide burning away in Gotham.

I also appreciate the use of theme in this film. From start to finish the film paints a sincere-feeling message about male mental health awareness and the problems that Social Exclusion can cause on vulnerable people- a theme which I feel should be at the forefront of society, but is so often shoved to the back in favour of other issues. The outrage from media outlets prior to release only purports this- practically encouraging a shooting in theatres so they can condemn the person who *they* gave the platform for atrocities to be committed through, via their constant publicity about it. Ironically, the film speaks directly to that, with the Late Night Show scene in the ending third of the film, martyrising Arthur as starting a revolution. The film isn't trying to advocate for murder of people, that's not the message one can take away from it. The real message I found was that vulnerable members of society should be treated. Arthur's character was neglected, beaten, "tied to a radiator with bruises on him," and yet he remained in the house with his mother, and turned into a social outcast. He gets all the sources of help cut off from him, so he is left isolated. This speaks to contemporary American society too, where medical and mental help costs, and often is only available to those who might not need it as much as a working class family may, seen as most mental health issues lie with the impoverished. This film says a lot without coming off as insincere as other comic book character films do. It doesn't cram a message down your face with a one liner, nor does it try and deprocate itself through "self-aware comedy" like every other Marvel film (hint hint "What Are Those!" and every line said to make the characters awkward after a big moment)

This feels like a true Tragedy. The art style of the film, the soundtrack with those harsh strings, vivid lighting in sections, and the overall design and portrayal of the character is in a world of its own. I thought nothing could top Ledger's performance, but honestly, Phoenix has me convinced.

If you were expecting a "comic-book" origin story, you came to the wrong movie, but I walked in knowing that already when the first trailer was released. It's a conflicting film of one man's spiral into his own madness and feels too real at times. He doesn't become the joker until the end of the movie, it's more about Author's descent into becoming this character is what makes this an amazing film. It is unnerving, but that feeling is what a Joker movie should be in away. There are moments of the film that blur the line between reality and fantasy, that to me is another detail that screams who joker real is, with the only answer is multiple choice of who he is or was. If there was a Joker origin story that was true to the comics, it probably wouldn't be as impactful R rated or not. This movie will be discussed and analyzed in future youtube theory/philosophical vids much like the Nolan Trilogy has been studied. As a casual Batman and Joker fan, I enjoyed this film and knew what I was going to get from this and still feel puzzled at the end of what was true and was false. But that's up to you to decide.

But the reason it is the movie of the year (i daresay even the decade) is how poignant and relevant it is. In this era of post-truth and loudness, where even presidents are morons - the movie shines as a cautious tale of what's to come should humanity continue it's course. And if you want to know if it works - just look at how many critics were scared and tried to dismiss this masterpiece as derivative, storyless or any other -less, when the movie is nothing but full to the brim with heart and soul, and most importantly - with multilayered message that is relevant now more than ever.

And this is by far the best joker origin story which ties everything up in a neat little bow and that sets up a relation between batman and joker far beyond just a criminal and vigilante; while also giving a reasoning to the joker's obsession with batman. And the cinematography just knocked it out of the park for me. The shots, composition, choice of colour palette was brilliant. Even at its brutal best the movie manages to still makes you laugh a moment after someone's head has been smashed to a pulp (secretly making you wonder how crooked you can be) Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. First and foremost some of these pretentious critics can suck on a limon. They have let their political views and ideologies blind them to the purely majestic yet gritty beauty that this film and Phoenix are. They themselves could never ever play a role even close to role Phoenix played, he dove deep in the mind of a psychopath with delusions of grandeur like no one has on film up to date. His performance was legendary, it still has me contemplating the roll days later; the cinematography felt so real and gritty i actually felt apart of that chaotic world threw the whole experience. Some critics say their was no message, well let me tell you something there is! 1. Don't mess with people or bully them be cause you don't know what their day or life has been like and what point of a breakdown they are in. 2. Mental health is a serious problem and those that have these issues are just people who just want to fit and most times they are just pushed aside into the gutters of this world to fend for themselves. It is when these people are overlooked and uncared for by their loved ones, friends, society and or the system that their illusions of grandeur become the chaotic tragedy of some people's reality. If you can't see that, then you really didn't even watch the film. Expand

excellent rhythm in the narrative, a masterful performance, a beautifully macabre soundtrack and an open ending that will speak during the next few years. Go see her to be able to brag about having seen a masterpiece on the big screen.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I heard mixed reviews on this film however I had to see for myself, and I am giving this film and eight. A hard to stomach production as we dive into the character we all know as The Joker. Growing up off of DC, we as the viewers are so accustomed to the playful yet hazardous cartoon character. There have been many times where we catch glimpses of the Dark-side the Joker portrays. That being said this film truly grasps the realism and humanity this very troubled being has to offer. Misunderstood and deeply disturbed. I could see how they were mixed reviews I neither love the character noor hated the character... but rather understood The ramifications. The unfortunate fact is, this film may have you truly cringing as you take a journey into to the mind of the Joker. The only reason for distastefulness I can justify is that there are people out in the word who truly suffer this way witch may cause a rebuttal. Expand

Absolute brilliant acting, absolute wonderful movie.
A movie about a crazy, abandoned man by the point of view of the mental man, absolute mindblowing in the end. Rewatch needed.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This movie deserves the world! I cannot even express how much i enjoyed watching it! I am so ready to give it a second go and watch it again, in order to analyze all the details that I've missed! This movie sheds light upon mental illness, especially how childhood abuse influences your adult life and how society can actually turn you into a monster. It shows the involution of Arthur and how his tragic life develops and transforms into a comedy, driving him into complete madness. The movie shows the differences between the poor and the rich and shows the struggles of the real world. This movie is real, it is a psychological action drama that shows us how raw humanity is and what the consequences of untreated mental illness can lead to. This does not at all provoke anyone to start being violent or dress up as clowns and riot the streets. This makes the viewer analyze his own life, analyze his own moral values and realize for themselves what is right, what is wrong, what is good, what is evil. Joaquin Phoenix brought justice for the Joker, as I haven't seen such a good Joker since Heath Ledger's outstanding performance. Joaquin Phoenix, an actor that definitely deserves an Oscar, perfectly portrayed an unstable Arthur and a crazy Joker, that, in the end, were combined and became only one. His movements, facial expressions, tonality of voice, were sublime and brought mystery, darkness and truth to us all.
In the end, you won't know anymore what is real and what is not, as the enigmatic ending plays with your mind and leaves you with numerous unanswered questions.

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

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Outstanding performance by Joaquin Phoenix. You really feel this character. Anyone who has ever been picked on or feels the world is against them will relate more. The message should be clear on how some people don't realize how badly they treat others. We live in a world where sometimes people are so wrapped up in themselves they don't care about another human being's feelings. For me I found myself on the Joker's side. I felt pain for his pain. He has just been kicked down over and over again. He feels that life is just nasty and short and nobody cares?! The human race is bad. Joaquin Phoenix does an incredible job of conveying that vulnerability and rage. With the mood swings and crazy laugh it's hard to imagine that you want him to be the hero not a villain. In his mind he is the hero ridding the world of cruel people. There have been several very different portrayals of the Joker in other movies but by far Joaquin Phoenix is in a class of his own. A dark character that you feel sympathy and empathy for. He's aware a monster is evolving inside of him and he struggles with it before releasing it. Overall this is a solid movie with a lot of darkness and depth and Joaquin Phoenix definitely deserves an award for the best performance I have seen in a very long time. Expand

Because of thisJoker is a wonderfully crafted movie depicting the plight of Arthur Fleck and how he is betrayed by the system and people of his society. Arthur Fleck has a mental illness. Anyone with any sensory functions can see this. Because of this character trait, the media have stirred up controversy over this character because of how he is portrayed. Joker is not some "incel guide" to teach mentally disturbed white men how to become violent menaces, it's a deep and captivating story about someone who struggles with mental issues and is belittled for his condition. The reason why these so called "critics" and media outlets **** on this movie is because they are afraid of facing reality. This kind of thing happens in real life all the time. Not everyone with a mental illness becomes a mass killer, but when someone is failed by the system and everyone around them, there is a potential risk of creating a monster. The movie is not the problem, it is the people that constantly throw the blame on external factors, when in reality it is the fault of themselves. I felt for Arthur Fleck and could empathize with his past and situation. It's hard to watch this movie and not want to go through the screen and give him a hug, lend him an ear to listen, or to find him a better therapist. I am in no way justifying his actions, because they are cruel and unforgivable. But it's hard not to empathize with someone who has been spat down on their entire life, with no hope of recovery whatsoever. If you go into this movie expecting a family friendly cake walk, then you're in for a wild surprise. It is rated R for a reason. It deals with themes that are surprisingly real and raw. Joaquin Phoenix's performance was outstanding and he really displayed the character well through his wonderful acting. I, as someone who doesn't really know much about DC, really enjoyed this movie as a work of art and a social commentary. I cannot speak of it's accuracy to the Joker story, but it made me interested to dive deeper into the DC universe. If you enjoy movies that are gritty and put you through an emotional roller coaster, than this is the movie for you. Expand

TheOne of the most defining movies of the 21st century. It wonderfully depicts another version of the most popular media villain of all time, but, most importantly, the movie depicts what our society has become and how much it alienates us. The people turn against each other and everyone is out for themselves. The film is sad and so is our reality, but we have the power to change that by being nice to each other and accept everyone who is different. By doing so, the chances of creating a “Joker” will be very unlikely... Expand

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..
