“Joker” was a masterpiece, It was in so many ways a trip inside the mind of a mentally ill, disturbed and disabled person. The sudden changes in music alluded to how a bipolar persons mood could switch so seamlessly. The random choreography as a display of confidence or acceptance of triumph. Etc, etc. Joaquin did an excellent job. Arthur seems very innocent and naive and it’s evident just on the way he talks. It was shot BEAUTIFULLY. Every scene grabbed you and immersed you into Arthur’s Universe. The Franklin Murray shots were some of the best in recent cinema. Long Long Longggg story short. This was a GREAT movie.

[@jamiebarrett2930]

Couldn’t have put it better myself lol, I was blown away by the cinematography and I really thought that the music was just an audio representation of his emotions. I’ve seen the movie 3 times and every time I’ve been fully dragged into the world and completely immersed. The subway scene gets me nervous every time and I’m blown away by the time he stands on the police car. 10/10 movie imo

“You could smell Ledger’s Joker” - this is such a good point by Lawrence. All the Jokers are usually sharply dressed and immaculate but Heath’s joker was really an accurate representation of someone with nothing to lose, and bad intentions. Smearing his face with makeup and wearing tatty clothes. You got the impression he wouldn’t even bother to bathe because all he was interested in was destruction and causing chaos.

[@robin97rv]

So the suit he bought with the maffia money was tatty?

I did feel like Heath's had nothing to lose true, and you could definitely tell he didn't care about anything other than causing chaos but I still wasn't ever scared by the guy, I was way more scared of Phoenix's.

[@DDavy2014]

Matt I guess it’s because we saw the human side of Phoenix’s Joker first. That he turned, and this is something we can all relate to and know people like this. Whereas with Heath we only saw him as The Joker. No backstory or anything. So he seemed like a complete mystery, and not as tangible.

[@ryanelewis1379]

Overrated

[@lizziepurdy6415]

ChewyHD why? not disagreeing, just curious

[@TomCL-vb6xc]

Lizzie Purdy Joaquin Pheonix is a fantastic actor no doubt but that is really the film’s biggest strength. It’s a good film but not as original or ground-breaking as people say it is. It makes sense and is a believable backstory to Joker: Bad things happen to him so he does bad things as a result of it. Happens all the time with real life people. Really don’t understand the “critique of society”. Pheonix’s Joker is a champion for people who feel a lot of self-pity. Masking jealousy for others as some kind of psuedo-heroic defiance is pretty much all the film does - hence why some people go as far to call it dangerous. Overall, it’s a good film but not excellent or particularly memorable aside from Pheonix - who is as magnetic as he usually is.

[@lizziepurdy6415]

TomCL 2000 I agree with a lot of your points. The film in itself is a character study, which is why the plot explores simpler concepts, as it allows a greater focus on the subtlety in Phoenix’s performance. This is a big issue for some people, but in films I really don’t mind it at all. As for the “criticism of society”, this lies in not only what it says about wealth divides and the elite, but about the normal civilian and our complacency and even responsibility in ostracising characters like Arthur Fleck. Also how societies claim to preach peace and love but are underlyingly sinister and hypocritical in how they poke fun at the ostracised. I agree with you, it’s no ground-breaking watershed movie for cinema, but in my opinion it certainly is one of the best films of the year - and despite its unoriginality in plot, it felt like a breath of fresh air after being saturated with Disney remakes and endless action sequels. Thanks for replying though :-)

[@TomCL-vb6xc]

Lizzie Purdy Again, nothing that you mentioned is very revolutionary. I definitely think the film is sound as a believable backstory to how Joker came to be, but I think it says little for how we treat people or class divides. Arthur is dealt a bad hand in life but still chooses to go down the route he chooses when there are other viable options. It is individuals that mistreat Arthur, not really society as a collective. Challenging the morals of a society isn’t a bad thing, but it is a lost cause. Everyone who watches the film would still be freaked out by people like Arthur in real life and I don’t blame them. We won’t treat anyone else with more kindness because of what happens in Joker and even if we did it wouldn’t feel honest - at best the film suggests that we treat outcasts better out of fear that they will kill us. Again, the film isn’t bad, but if you view Arthur as anything other than a villain - albeit one who was once innocent - then it justifies the claims from some that the film is potentially a glamorisation of violence.

The only similarity is that it has a character from a superhero comic , that’s it. It annoys me how people just wrote it off because it’s a “superhero “movie

[@iTwistyz]

And that’s what I love about it. Personally, and I bet you there are people that would agree, I love the superhero movies that are grounded, gritty and take place in basically the real world. I.e. Joker, The Dark Knight, original Spider-Man movies.

[@garyzucker2738]

And that was the whole point, if this was put in the brackets of a 'superhero' movie, the film wouldnt have had the same effect

[@Alchemistic88]

Arguably it's similar, but also a complete opposite of a superhero film. There is no one who saves the day, no one ever helps. The 'hero' of the film is absurdist nihilism. It is what saves Arthur from killing himself. His realisation at the end is the key that unlocks his freedom. You can call it a hero's journey, but in the most negative way possible.

Aidan Kydd A lot of pacing issues - needless scenes etc etc. Awkward choices in regard to music, offers nothing new to the genre it attempts to revolutionize. It’s pretty much an average film made better by Joaquin Pheonix.

[@rodrigobento4570]

@@TomCL-vb6xc crazy how opinions can differ so much. I thought the music was brilliant, the pacing kept me on the edge the entire time and the movie has a very unique style. And I respect how they weren't afraid of offending people with how they portrayed the darker side of mental illness. That alone puts the movie well above average. To me it's absolutely a masterpiece.

[@TomCL-vb6xc]

Rodrigo Bento I don’t think the music was bad, just that some of the songs didn’t really make me feel much. There were screnes that weren’t really necessary to me, such as him climbing into a fridge. It tries way too hard in showing how unstable he is. The film isn’t nonsensical, it just isn’t all that special. It all makes sense in how Arthur becomes the Joker but any other themes it attempts to explore are left rather unexplored. Bad things happen to him, so as a result he does bad things.

This is the first comic book movie I’ve seen in a very long time that I actually enjoyed. Easily a 10/10 movie!

great analysis boys. keep them coming

After watching for a second time I realised even more of its brilliance. One thing I did notice is that with the stairs every time it was dark and gloomy and then the time where he was dressed as the joker it was the opposite and daytime and bright. I liked that

[@NickiTwix]

People are hyping this movie because it is an amazing movie 😂 modern day masterpiece, I haven’t seen a movie that good in maybe 5 years or longer.

[@Tameeeeeem]

Lol don't tell that to any hardcore Marvel fans 🙃

[@LG1204]

Joker is a masterpiece to people who only watch most mainstream run-of-the-mill films with no depth. Watch more movies that aren't rehashed rom coms and explosion fests.

Would love to hear these boys takes on the Departed

[@jamiegordon3776]

Michael Moore's critique was good. He basically highlighted that the first force of violence in the film was society itself. He said it held a mirror up to the western modern world: underfunded public services, shortage, and misdirected and generalised hatefulness. I think the social commentary is profound and largely overlooked

the only thing that was over hyped was the media saying how violently scary it was.. the greatness of the movie wasnt over hyped at all

great podcast once again geordie and laurence! good point he mentions: *SPOILER ALERT* i keep watching "Joker" over and over again, because what draws me back to it is joaquin's fantastic performance, and the cinematography, but that's really......it. I tend to self doubt a lot, so I thought it was weird that I didn't like the MOVIE as much, even though everyone else kept going and on about it. there really wasn't much of a plot per say. honestly, i think the makers of the movie ended up limiting what we could have seen of the joker, and in doing so, because of the average scriptwriting, held back joaquin from using his full capability to deliver to this role. the movie's BEGINNING was set up great, only for the rest of it to be a let down. we don't really see much of an adventure with the joker, arthur fleck here, the entire focus is on his emotions. because of that, the sudden plot twist about his mom and thomas wayne isn't really that...."twist"-y. idk

[@shezaadkarim9123]

It was made years ago, but would love to hear your collective review of the Dark Knight trilogy. My favourite trilogy of all time!

Think of the character like this. He's not a man that broke because he had one bad day, He's a man that never had a good day.

Just saw joker today and I think it’s the best film released this year no cap

[@elblogdemartha7618]

I just discovered you guys, great review!

[@i5m1thy]

Joker is the narrator in the movie. Don't you find it scary that you're beginning to take the side of a psychopathic murderer based on the interpretation of the past that he gave you? I think this film has a lot of layers to it and if you look at it a bit more open minded you might discover themes and chilling lines of logic that you didn't realise were there.
