Yeah that's why Leto's Joker was canned lmao

On the lowest of keys but yeah... I definitely felt for Arthur and understood where he was coming from, despite his actions

When I was watching it was constant tension the whole way through... I'm not a film buff or anything like that so comparisons to movies like Taxi Driver didn't phase me cause I never seen it.

Still a classic just in case any of you were wondering

Yea idc what anyone says, this is a masterpiece imo. I loved everything about it, went to the movies twice to see it

Just rewatched. Still very good, and I feel more strongly now that the whole story is a delusion. It’s hinted at waaaaay too much. Like constantly. The whole thing is his fantasy. Now obviously it’s intentionally left ambiguous and Todd might unfortunately undo this if he makes a sequel but yea this whole movie was in his mind, only loosely rooted in his real past. Both he and his mother are delusional.

Just watched for the first time. movie was mid I did thoroughly enjoy the ending though

I’m sure someone’s said it before, but I’ll take King of Comedy and Tax Driver over this all day

Also I didn’t like the predictability

aren’t all of our perspectives our single and biased interpretation to the situation to some extent?

But yeah I definitely agree, esp with him having delusions about his neighbor being a significant part of the movie he was more likely to go off the deep end with potentially hereditary mental issues

As far as the dialogue goes, I think it was important that they made him uncool.

IMO they made him uncomfortably weird and awkward to where he doesn’t represent some badass but rather a mentally ill person who kills his own mother and is out of touch with reality, like when he’s laughing in the comedy club, the fact he’s telling unfunny jokes is true to the character...

I think they made it a potentially more realistic incarnation of someone who would become this character... I get some of it being “we live in a society” tier writing but I think it adds to the fact that he isn’t cool. And I’d rather that, than glorify some of his actions.

HBO

good movie

I liked it on first watch, but ive had no desire to ever watch it again

Solid 8/10

The most overrated movie I swear

predictability? Its a movie about how a guy became the joker. You knew what was going to happen before you even thought of watching it.... If you were expecting some mind bending mystery with twists and shockers thats on you

On demand?

It'll be weird to just casually watch this again

Yes

this was mid
