Holy Shit.
It reminded me of "The Shining" The one with Jack Nicholson. Damn.

I agree. I’m a huge fan of cinema and own probably north of 10000 titles (not a typo). Joker is one of the most disturbing movies I’ve ever seen. What gets to me more is the public reception to it as if it’s a run-of-the-mill super hero film and the way Joker is elevated to a folk hero. There’s also a very strong us/them, poor/rich, disenfranchised/wealthy theme that’s being embraced by people...kind of like the irony of urban youths hero worshipping Tony Montana from Scarface. Though I felt the movie was brilliantly done, Joke is likely to become the poster boy for ANTIFA.

Agreed. Normally I like the dark hero films like Taxi Driver. Didn’t really care for Joker. Just creeped me out a bit.

I mean, he was nutty as squirrel shit at the beginning, but everything that happened made him worse and worse. And he LOVED IT. |

Haven’t seen it yet, because I was a fan of the other actor not the skinny guy. Guess you’re saying I should see it, I like some stuff like that.

one of the best movies period. I know a lot of people didn't like it but I think it's a perfect origin into just how fucked up he is and how society made him worse.

I get that it was disturbing but the most disturbing movie I've seen probably ever is Uncut Gems.
I saw earlier this week and as soon as the credits rolled myself and another person in the theater both let out a quiet sigh of, "Fuuuuu....." |

Im not a fan when they try to change the stories from the comics to create a different timeline or reality. But I watched it.... And thoroughly enjoyed it. Sooooo many questions though..... |

He didnt portray the roll of the joker anywhere near as good as Jared Leto. We all know that Leto is the greatest actor of all the Jokers

But I can see how many people lost their minds over it considering that most anything comparable to it is either extremely niche or is over 30-40 years old soto a couple generations raised on sequels and franchises it is wildly different and refreshing |
