Official JOKER Thread (SPOILERS)

[Zero]

A great performance does not equal a great movie.

Tell that to There Will Be Blood fans

 

[Ribbs]

Someone said in the comments, they're gonna remake all of Scorsese's movies as comic book films. Goodfellas of the Galaxy Last Temptation of Dr. Strange

SN: I'm glad I didn't see a thread on what Scorsese said about CMB movies so none of you would expose yourself by slandering Scorsese.

[The Prince of All Saiyans]

Anyone got a link to this?

pathetic

 

[Neuromancer]

It was a good movie. Not great, But good.

 

[Makavalli]

During the credits roll? Breh imagine being like that the whole movie and when it finished with no incidents. Want to see it again but think I will wait until the hype dies down, that shyt had a nikka flinching everytime someone went out

Bruh i didnt even fukkin wait to see them credits roll. Soon as it said “The end” i was like welp time to go

 

[Skrt Angle]

I liked the film. Not good to watch if you are in a dark mental space.

It highlights the relationship between reality and truth.

Spoiler

The movie would have ended when he came into the flat after first time the lady asked if he was following her and he said yes.

Oh and he bathed his grown able bodied mother. Hmm.

The cinematography pointing out the delusion was brilliant, ie when he is the usher in the Charlie Chaplin. Hints with the black and white films or the old school songs, show his mind has stopped there. Or does he go there for comfort.

Mad cerebral and subliminal. Where does the delusion and reality differ, or does it?

 

[Cladyclad]

I don’t understand a non spoiler thread but whatever.

great movie.

Hopefully this is a easy layup for the new Batman movie. If that movie fukk up it will have to be the biggest flop in movie history. That’s how well it setup up the new Batman to me. Joker is the best origin story ever to me. Not one scene did I have to suspend disbelief.

give duke the Oscar now

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Was he sharing a bed with his mother? It didn’t look like a two bedroom apartment, and there wasn’t blankets and pillows near the couch.





This pretty much summed it up for me. A couple of Wayne references, but other than that, they used the name recognition to get this film hyped.

Had it just been called Arthur, with the same plot and trailer, not set in Gotham, it wouldn’t have been as widely anticipated.

 

[JayGatsby]

Watched it with the lady

Loved it

 

[CreepyMcCreeperson]

Anyone think the incel label was thrown out there because it’s become “trendy” now?

I think these journalists create things by claiming something exists in masse, which causes people to look into it, and read more and more articles, and now every socially awkward man is an incel.

It’s ironic to me that some critics are looking at this as a far right propaganda film when it has way more far left elements. He’s off his meds because there’s no more funding for his social services. He inspires an Occupy Wall Street type movement. Thomas Wayne is depicted as this rich out of touch Donald Trump-like figure. The guys he kills that sparks everything are basically caricatures as the rich, rapey Wall Street types. But I also think it’s indicative of the horseshoe theory where at some point if you go far left or far right enough on the spectrum and share this common belief that there are bigger forces oppressing you and the only way to stop it is through extreme measures, people with opposite political ideologies end up meeting at a certain place.

As far as race though the one thing I do find frustrating with movies like these is that the reasons many people find Arthur sympathetic for, (traumatic childhood, his mental health, not having access to proper care, living in poverty everyday) are things that so many black people who turn to crime face every day. They just don’t have the luxury of getting people’s sympathy or understanding. And that’s where I see the privilege. But it seems like critics of the movie are ignoring this element in favor of the whole incel argument which again I didn’t really see outside of his speech to Deniro at the end

The whole "incel" movement about this movie is a TOTAL LIE and propaganda from *certain* companies. If you paid attention to this film, it was all about the little guy getting belittled by society and the wealthy ignoring the problems. At least he actually DID take action against the elite and made an impact and a movement, and not just say "woe is me" like other films.
