We live in a society... B O T T O M T E X T
I think by now, you've seen all the memes surrounding the new stand-alone movie, Joker. Despite these silly internet jokes however, it is very easy to take this movie seriously as intended. The movie stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleek, a deranged man who we follow spiraling into madness until he finally becomes the titular, Joker of Batman fame. Despite it's connection to the DC Comics character, Batman, Joker is not a superhero movie. It is much more of a psychological thriller that really makes you question yourself.
I'm going to be honest, it's actually rather difficult to talk about this movie without accidentally spoiling it. It is a masterful, artsy film accompanied by a brilliant soundtrack, Joaquin's performance though, absolutely blew me away. I will not be surprised if either he, or the movie earn a Oscar this upcoming reward season. Joker is something to be experienced, even if you're not a fan of DC like me, it stands alone as an amazing character study. Please, go watch it yourself. This movie gets a 5 out of 5 paws up.
TRIGGER WARNING
This movie is guaranteed to make you feel extremely uncomfortable during many scenes, and later on in the film the violence is rather graphic. Please keep this in mind when going to see the movie if you have any concerns. Then again if you're going to see this movie, you should already be mentally prepared to handle whatever this movie throws at you, just saying.
