Hes in it 90 percent of the time as arthur fleck not the joker
Official JOKER Thread (SPOILERS)

He's great in pretty much everything he does, but if you're looking for the disturbed vibe:
Her
Inherent Vice
You Were Never Really Here
What's amazing about him is all those roles are disturbing but they're still unique as fukk, his performances can't be swapped out.
Upon further thought....
The scene where he collects himself in the bathroom after the train incident might be one of the most defining, iconic moments of cinema to come out of this generation of film making. It is truly haunting and transformative.
The scene where kills his former co worker and has to help the midget out of his apartment, in the same movie as the above mentioned scene, is why the performance was so spectacular.
I think a sequel could work because the one piece we didn’t see was the ‘evil genius’ which he’s known for in the comics and other film adaptations. Knowing he’s narrating, knowing he’s fukking crazy and not quite sure what he did or didn’t do could set up and incredibly interesting sequel, even without Batman. For all we know, he thinks of himself in a sympathetic manner and doesn’t think of himself as evil genius, and he was much more manipulative than he remembers himself.
It’s already an Iconic movie brehs.

Don't know how much it'll make at the box office, but if WB wanted to make another film that's as serious Joker I think Deadman would be an excellent choice with the right script that can capture the essence of the nonsuperhero stories from his minis. Maybe it'll work better as a streaming show
The axe murderer
For I am death and I ride on a pale horse
I really wasn't sure if they'd be able to pull this off, but gyatdamn...they really did it. This might be my favorite movie of the year. Its definitely top 3 for sure. I laughed. I was in shock. Shiiiiiiit I damn near cried during certain scenes. Shoutout to Joaquin man he really is a living legend when it comes to this shyt.

great film. phoenix killed it and the story flowed and was great. my only gripe with the film was having to throw batman in there. they could've done without introducing/showing young bruce wayne. other than that i really enjoyed it.

Yall got a problem with jokers narration but were calln that bullshyt "us" weak plot n lazy writing
"But but its up to interpretation...its open ended!!" lmao
"But but its up to interpretation...its open ended!!" lmao
Just saw this an hour ago...completely blown away by this movie and Phoenix performance... omggggg
Let's be real...Phoenix rendention was better than Ledger. Ledger was excellent but gets the "Tupac" treatment... yall know why.
Begging for another Joker movie of some sort with Phoenix. Epic

Watched this weekend and went alone. I hate going to movies like this with people because I always worry about my friends or family enjoying themselves for some odd reason lol. Going by myself I can truly focus on every second of the movie unless the environment is shytty. People getting up and down, talking, or chewing on popcorn set off a fuse in me quick lol. The crowd was okay once the movie started so I could pay attention.
First I want to sayfukk off with that you can't compare the different versions of Jokers rule. That's like people saying you can't copy someone else writing or art style and if you do you're breaking some unspoken rule. Some of the biggest artists encourage it because how are you gonna know who you are as a writer if you don't put yourself in shoes that have worked before? It's just always funny when the fans make the rules but the artists themselves most likely encourage the competition.
The "you can't do this" rule is some elite bull shyt. People can say one performance is better than the other. Stop the I have watched 1000 films per year so I make the rules as they go bull shyt. This is why we enjoy art because it's subjective and we can articulate reasons as to why one performance is better than the other. If someone makes an absolutely shytty version of the Joker we would all flat out say it sucks. But if it's someone knocking it out the park, we have to hit the "lol you fools don't even get the point..."
With that being said......
Joaquin Phoenix is the best Joker. He's literally 99.9999.9 percent of the movie. Everyone else in the film did not matter and honestly, they could have cast anyone for the other characters and it wouldn't have mattered or effected the movie in any way. Robert De Niro role could have been Plank from Ed, Edd, and Eddy and the movie would have still been fire. The quality of the film relied on Phoenix and him alone. There was no Batman to help build not only the chemistry but the movie itslef. This movie had limited violence and the theme for the movie went more towards a realistic point of view most of the other Jokers didn't have to worry about. The movie is 2 hours and 2 minutes. Phoenix is at least in 2 hours of it. If he fails the movie fails.
So much pressure, yet the film was a diamond in the dozen of shytty films we get nowadays. I hate the cliche of every film is "art". This is fukking art.
