So, I saw Joker last night.This is not a superhero movie. I found it to be a well made, philosophically despicable movie with one hell of a great performance by Jouaguin Phoenix.
Most of the movie was a disturbing backdrop to the creation of the Joker and by creation I mean the film proposes that Joker was created by a failing society and that he touched off a violent war against the rich who were portrayed as the worst among men.
I suppose I can recommend it for the film making and great acting. But this is a lazy, morally bankrupt, intellectual attempt to garner favor with those who think wealth creation to be immoral.
Actually kind of , yes! It is very close to Allan Moore’s Killing Joke (great Joker origin) but they make it more modern day too and ties in with a lot of politics.
I am more of a casual fan of the graphic novel and original movie, but I knew the gist if the story. I thought the HBO tv show was pretty fantastic and thought they tied the story being told now to the original material in pretty interesting ways without disturbing what was already canon.
I have seen the movie and I thought it was also fantastic. It’s been along time since I have seen it. I think I actually saw it in theaters and haven’t seen it since. I have never read the graphic novels however they tie them into the DC universe sometimes. The watchmen are definitely cool characters and apparently the graphic novels are extremely bloody. I should give them a try
10/10. About the 1925 huskies that took a man 325 miles to get serum for the sick kids. Based on a true story. William Dafoe (spelling ?) was the main actor. Incredible movie. Shows they Balto got all the credit but should t have. Very good movie.
