Hello friends,
In this post I will show you my favorite movie (so far), why I love it, how it connects with me, what rating I give it (? / 10) and some background on the movie
The Joker!
I remember seeing this movie that he just went out to the cinema network in Cinema City, how he came out on the first day if I wasn't wrong about a year ago, what I like about this movie is connecting with me emotionally, I've seen it about 3 times and none of those times I've stopped in the middle, I kept watching the movie until it ended without constipation!
In my opinion, the movie gets an 8th grade rating.
The movie draws you into the life of a simple man, who is obviously a little wrong. He lives with his mother, works in a clown agency, and just wants to bring joy and a smile to the world. But poor people like him are attracted to evil and evil.

Moreover, he has a sort of uncontrollable clinical state of laughter. And in these stressful situations.
Harass him, mock him. He's at the bottom. And what happens to a broken person? How does he act? On what mental basis does non-normative behavior sit?
Phoenix is investigating the psyche of this poor character and how she came to be who she is: a psychopath killer who just wants to see the world burned.
The film criticizes public psychology services, the talk show, the alienation and alienation that a person can experience in a world that people cannot accommodate a person who is a bit "different."

It speaks to one of the most humane comic books ever made, with no special powers, no exploding and exploding scenes. The closest thing you can imagine is "Logan," which tells of aging and tired Wolverine.
This is not a subjective statement, by the way - "Joker" manages to stir the Hollywood movie world a bit from a hard nap that is basically fan-pleasing, and to bring back the film "Dangerous." Dozens of stories go up against the movie, cinemas fear the awful screening of "Dark Knight Rises," people accuse him of encouraging violence - all of it from Todd Phillips, the director of "Don't Press, I'm on the Road," yes? (Oh well, recently "war dogs," too, to be fair). When was the last time you saw a movie that evoked so much emotion? That his macergers didn't say he was boring or obnoxious but dangerous?
Here, however, is a more subjective statement: "Joker" is a strong movie, but not necessarily a good movie.
The story is like this: Arthur Fleck is a mentally ill guy who gets the least possible treatment in the US - a weekly call, a few pills, a pat on the back and "try not to hit you out there." Uncontrollable as part of his mental problem. You know, the one who makes you laugh uncontrollably. I'm sure she's there in DSM somewhere.
The "Joker", in a big way, tells how a person becomes a loser like Arthur Fleck to the "Joker" - a violent killer who laughs all the way as he escapes Markham.
The Joker was drafted one of the names thrown in a discussion about "the best players of our generation" - Joaquin Phoenix. Phoenix is not known for participating in any project that it offers, so its involvement has aroused curiosity and interest in everyone.
The good news is that Joaquin Phoenix is bringing his entire Joaquinian to the movie. Phoenix plays, and when he plays, he giggles. He is so acting that when the movie is over and the next movie begins, there is a situation that you will see some more of his game remnants in a McDonald's commercial. He is such a game that the scenery you see is what remains after he eats it, vomits it, and impresses her so much with his acting abilities that she once again stabilized into a decor. He laughs, he dances, he laughs, he's angry, he's crazy, he laughs, he laughs, he laughs. There are also some finer moments in this game show, but if there's ever been an "Oscar performance" that pulls out all the heavy cannons and wasn't a biopic on a singer - this is it.
The bad news is that very few movies are really just their main actor, and when the movie has to build around Phoenix World and sub characters it doesn't keep up. While the film does bother and gives every character a minimal character, it's hard to believe anyone will remember the subtitle names here.
This is not a mere complaint - the films from which Joker is inspired, such as "Fight Club" and "Taxi Driver", flourish because they are very close to the hero and do not let go - but the world around them is critical. There is no "fight club" without Marla Singer and Bob and Angel Pace, and the plight of the narrator cannot replace any of them. But in The Joker, everyone is a substitute. The romantic object, the mother, the father figure - all are forgotten. Everyone's mass is necessary to push Arthur to the edge, but none of them are significant or interesting in their own right. Most of them could be given up or replaced with other factors and the movie would have worked just as well. The same is true for his ending - or more true for his endings, as the film has had some beautiful potential endings, hasn't decided which one works best, and then pushed them all, with a dwindling effect until the movie ends.
But perhaps the main problem of the film, and where it falls in front of "Fight Club" and "Taxi Driver", is that it lacks what made these films not only strong films but also good ones - a presentation of something amazing in the original sense of the word, and not in its positive sense , And then take a distance from it that makes it clear that there is a problem with what we see in front of us.
After all, even though fans of the aforementioned films are not always aware, the films themselves have quite a bit of ironic distance from their protagonists and messages and importance to themselves. Those who think Scorsese believes the world is filth forgot that Scoresza directed "Taxi Driver" between "Alice doesn't live here anymore" And "New York, New York" - not exactly movies in the same stream of thought. Yes, from time to time the creators' reservations are seen as lip-smacking and nothing else - but at least it's there.
In contrast, if Todd Phillips tries to distance himself and us from the madness of his hero, he fails. He does not unequivocally support his hero (and there have been films that support him), but he also fails to bring to light his failures and problems. Phillips offers a serious and compelling indictment to a company that gives birth to people like Arthur Fleck (even if he falls into occasional stencils), but somewhat overstates the indictment against people like Fleck. And in such a movie - it is significant.
"Joker" is a movie you should watch. He is not necessarily good and certainly not a masterpiece, and I would even say that he is far from being the best comic book or superheroes of the year (assuming you consider him part of the genre). But it has an incredible performance by Joaquin Phoenix and some of the strongest moments you can currently see in cinema. It is the kind of experience that cinema offers very little of today, and you should hurry and catch it before it goes away.
I really loved this movie. The Joker is just a good guy trying to please the world.
