Very good movie. I'd say it's the best DC film since the Dark Knight.
Phoenix was great, definitely the highlight. Just a very physical performance and you felt his pain every time he laughed. And it was subtle but I liked the slight change in demeanor he had when he was off his meds compared to how he was when he was on them.
I liked the misdirections and all the hints toward it, the biggest being the reveal with Zazie Beatz' character
I also thought the way they tied it into Batman's origin was well done and not too forced.
I like how Phillips filmed the violence. Very short, didn't linger too long but was still brutal and effective. The scene where the midget tries to run out of the apartment and can't reach the lock perfectly embodies the Joker. Hilarious in a fukked up way.
While the movie was a great character study I thought the social commentary was probably its weakest element and a bit undercooked. I feel like the public should've been aware of more murders then just the subway killing for them to truly be inspired enough to revolt. And the Joker's speech to Deniro at the talk show was a little too on the nose. Would've been better to go with more subtlety or even dark humor in that scene. It was also the only scene where I felt like the people who are afraid this movie might inspire angry incels had a point.
I agree with the theory that the whole scene of him escaping the police car and the whole crowd treating him like a revolutionary hero was all in his mind. What would be even crazier however would be if he was in the Psych Ward the entire time and the whole film was a delusion. But I liked how the film left it ambiguous which goes perfectly with the Joker's character.
Taxi Driver influence was obvious but I also got some American Psycho and Fight Club vibes with all the misdirection and hints at an unreliable narrator
