The 1st trailer was much better.

JOKER (2019)

... and here we go!

This is one rare origin movie, that’s both shockingly surreal and hauntingly relateable!

What I enjoyed most and truly appreciated, of this movie, is the fact that we, as an audience, were shown, not just told but actually shown, of how Joaquin's character, Arthur, tried to cope with the bad hand ... no, cruel hand that he's dealt with, every single day ... right down to that final moment of total descend to madness!

Truly, to witness someone with a medical condition, treading on some mighty thin ice of sanity, while being shredded apart by the cruelty of society, is hard to watch ... but what makes it even more heartbreaking, is learning how much he holds on to his mother's advise of "My mother always tells me to smile and put on a happy face!”

Just about every scene of the movie tips on Arthur’s character transformation … and while many highlighted about how gradual that process is, I personally thought the movie was perfectly paced, enough to get the audience to be truly invested in Arthur and the struggle that he goes through.

Frankly speaking, I was so invested that there was a point in the movie that I was secretly wishing for some ray of sunshine on his life ... and even then ... darn!

This movie puts a smile on my face … but not before experiencing the tragic downward spiral roller coaster ride, that’s destined towards witnessing the fall of Arthur and the rise of the Joker!

What a ride!



This is one of those movies that you have to watch it in order to experience it!
