Here is My Movie Review of Joker

 

Here is my movie review of Joker. 

Now when it comes to this film I always really enjoyed this film the idea of a Joker movie was such a great idea and yes the movie is controversial for a variety of reasons because of how island and disturbing it is Because you swallow me see a guy going into Madness until he snaps in and tries to Kill everyone who mistreated him.

Now the storyline is really interesting because it's Loosely inspired by another film called The King Of Comedy Both of them focused on this guy is obsessed this talk show host and gets rejected so both of them tried to Stock and torture the person they idolize. But in this film you have This guy named Arthur black who lived in Gotham City and get constantly picked on and everyone hates them and he idolized this this talk show host named Murray and he wants to be on his talk show but Murray makes fun of them the Arthur gets really mad and he go down and killing spray and he eventually becomes the Joker and crashes Murray's talk show to ruin his life. That's basically what the story is for the film and at the Joker story it's actually really awesome the idea of Arthur Fleck who has been mistreated and one day he experiences one really bad day and he snaps and decides to get revenge on the people of Gotham who mistreated him

The acting in this movie is tremendous because this probably has some of the best acting of 2019 because all the actors are giving really tremendous and really captivating performances. I think this film is up there with Avengers endgame at one of the best acted films of 2019

However the absolute standout of the entire film is Joaquin Phoenix at Arthur Fleck/the Joker because he gives the one that he must captivating and one of the best performances of 2019 now I will say though I don't think Joking Phoenix is as perfect as Heath Ledger or Mark Hamill. I think those two actors played the best Jokers we ever saw in media. But I will say he's way better than Jared Leto who played the worst Joker ever. But he did one Oscar for best actor of 2019 for this film Now Arthur Fleck/the Joker as a character is really disturbing but also really interesting because everyone treats him like garbage they don't pay attention to him they just walk over him. Also when he tried to tell everyone that he wanted to be a stand-up comedian everybody laughed at him so you can Understand why Arthur Fleck will go crazy and go on a killing spray because Arthur had enough of the citizens of Gotham treating him like utter garbage. The scenes with Arthur Fleck/The Joker Are probably throwing the most fun but some of the most messed up stuff in this entire phone weather it is him killing those people on the subway or him suffocating his mom with a pillow or him going on the talk show and killing Murray Franklin by shooting him in the head. It does lead to some really dark and some really horrific moments in the film. The chemistry between him and Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Francis Conroy is still fantastic. Fun fact actor Leonardo DiCaprio was considered to play The Joker.

Now let's talk about Robert De Niro and look he is a tremendous actor he has given some really tremendous performances like in Goodfellas, Angel Heart, and Taxi Driver. among many other films and in this movie that's no different because he does a spectacular job as the character of Murray Franklin. Also you can tell that he is having a lot of fun as this character. now the character of Murray Franklin is probably one of the most horrible and one of the most disgusting characters in this film because he enjoys training Arthur like garbage saying that you're not funny you'll never be on my show and trash Talking him throughout the whole film. The scenes with Murray Franklin are incredible whether it's him trash talking Arthur on his television show or him telling Arthur Fleck that ´ s not funny when he made a dead baby joke. or him trying to tell Arthur to put the gun down it does lead to some really haunting and some really heart pounding moments in the film. the chemistry between him and Joaquin Phoenix is terrific.

Zazie Beetz plays Sophie Dumone in The film. I have to say she still does an outstanding job as the character. Now Sophie Dumone as a character is really interesting because she really cares about Arthur Flack/The Joker to the point that she starts to fall in love with him but she also wants to help him cure him of his mental illness which is PBA and and tried to help him cure his sanity. The scenes with Sophie Dumone are incredible weather it is her finding out that Arthur Fleck flash the Joker barged into her apartment or her trying to get him to control his sanity it does lead to some really creepy and some really nail buying moments throughout the film and the bonding between her and Arthur Fleck/The Joker in the strongest aspect of the entire film. The chemistry between her and Joaquin Phoenix is excellent.

Francis Conroy plays Arthur Fleck/The Joker´s mother Penny Fleck In the film. I have to say she still does a terrific job as the character. Now Penny Fleck as a character is shown that she is very sick she needs to be taken care of and her son Arthur Fleck / the Joker to take care of her. the scenes with Penny Fleck are are probably some of the brutal moments in the film whether it is telling her son Arthur to give her her medication or her telling him that he would adopted because she's not really his real mother it does lead to some really horrifying and some really messed up moments in the film. The chemistry between her and Joaquin Phoenix is perfect.

But the best thing about the entire movie is The directing by Todd Phillips because what I love about his directing is he is able to develop the character of Arthur Fleck and not really glorify of what he's doing he makes you understand what caused them to go down this dark path to become the Joker but he glorify the character of this character by saying oh you to do exactly what he does in the movie but he instead makes you understand again what made Arthur go crazy is that the way he develops Arthur's past is really interesting because sometimes it can be real or it can be all just in his head as one of Joker's most memorable quotes in the comics is sometimes I remember it one way sometime another if I'm going to have a past I prefer to be multiple choice. so it can be up to the viewer's interpretation of what Jokers origin in the film is. i also like how he doesn't hold back on the violence disturbing moments does he shows everything whether Arthur Fleck/The Joker shooting Murray in the head or him dancing in the bathroom and becoming embraced in his new Joker Persona. I think it is really incredible how he directed this film.

So in conclusion i still really love this film because the storyline revolved around Arthur Fleck game pushed to his breaking point because the citizens of Gotham fame like garbage until one day he had enough and snaps and becomes the Joker and wants revenge on everyone who mistreated him as well as whined to meet his Idol Murray Franklin on his talk show. Also the performances are incredible especially from Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck / the Joker he brought a very different and unique performance to the Joker because I like how he didn't try to copy Heath Ledger instead he did an interesting take on the Joker. I still think that is really incredible and really interesting. I also think that Robert De Niro is really incredible as the character Murray Franklin because you can tell that he is having a lot of fun as this character just playing this really selfish and narcissistic talk show host doesn't really care about Arthur because they enjoys trash talking him and saying that he has a loser. I also enjoy a lot of the scenes in this film whether it is the scene of Joker dancing in the bathroom or him finally meeting his Idol Murray Franklin or him just going on killing spray in Gotham. It does lead to some of the best moments in this film. I also like the Cinematography in this movie how it looks like a martin Scorsetti film because because this film was inspired by The King Of Comedy and Taxi Driver two films directed by Martin Scorsetti. This is definitely in my top five favorite films of 2019. I highly recommend you watch this film especially if you enjoy really dark and nail biting films like the lighthouse with Willem Defoe. Then I'm sure you're going to like this film as well. I give this film a 10/10.
