The review
The movie Joker is about a man called Arthur Fleck which is a man that suffers from a laughing disorder, this disorder comes out when he doesn’t feel right so he has an uncontrollable laugh which throughout the movie he creates till it’s a mad laugh, He is a man that works as a clown in the Gotham city streets promoting shows and making publicity while acting as a clown. The movie is set up in the 70s when the city of Gotham is in a high crime rate being a really twisted and dangerous city which is in a society divided in both social classes, the high class and lower class. Arthur displays a conflict in the movie between himself and the world, feeling left by the world which gives him a scarier and crazier look. Arthur is a lonely guy which in the movie only has his mother which also suffers of dementia and he feels that he is rejected by the society in a city that crime and disorder joined with division live this only creates the character deeply in pain and madness which is the things that make the joker the prince of crime. The movie tries to explain why Arthur becomes the Infamous joker, what makes him an incredible criminal and what kind of past he has in order to become one. The joker movie is a dark movie made for adults as it has many violent and scenes of thing that we can see today in the world, the movie tries to display all the negative things in today’s modern society in a incredible way, making a supervillain which once was a good person and got rejected by society.
The verdict
The joker movie is an extremely good movie overall the acting of Joaquin phoenix is just out of this world, still is not a movie for children as its really violent and deeply dark. The movie is an artwork and a huge success overall, I really recommend go watching it as its worth the money. The message of the movie is that the society builds the monsters it fights these days.
