HOWEVER. I was doing some unrelated research on the cult history of the Children of God recently and learned that Phoenix and his siblings were actually born into a practicing Family, and had quite the dramatic story of escape and rebirth, which shed some light for me on Joaquin Phoenix's incredible ability to portray non-ableist characters with nuance and empathy. As this is perhaps his most notable work that I hadn't seen, I decided to give it a shot on account of his credibility of someone who I believe cares about the well being of all people and creatures on our planet.
I'm really glad I did.
The oversimplistic and ableist-propogandad storyline that I was concerned about, is not what I found in this film. Instead, I think I found an unusual force of empathy and affirmation for the people who are most unwanted by an ableist society: the disruptors. I did not feel his actions were justified as some necessitated exchange to empathize with him, which is perhaps what the most optimistic version of me hopes for in terms of cultural paradigm shifts our world deeply needs. As other commentaries have noted this film, Joaquin's character Arthur (the Joker) is on screen or in-scene for the entirety of the film. He is never the 3rd person... even when (spoiler) there are revelations later that he had imagined happy moments which were part of the story line, and realizes they were different. It's not disputed (at least in informed circles) that most of history's darkest criminals suffered similar treatment as Arther did; abandonment, sexual abuse, and neglect are common in the backgrounds of most of the criminal record, but are glossed over out of fear of somehow making less of that person's crimes... which unfortunately has had the result of over-ly demonizing a persons illness without reckoning with the causes of that position. I wasn't expecting a film to handle the Joker's character much differently, and was wrong. When the credits started rolling, and many times throughout the movie, I found myself believing that the outcomes of his condition could have been quite easily avoided if he had recieved proper treatment growing up, and (spoiler) if the city hadn't cut mental health social services. The film very explicitly showed how he no longer had access to his medications that had kept him a very honorable son and sweet neighbor, despite being a little "weird." Even when he was recieving city services, though, I think the film made a point to show how over-worked his social worker was in her poorly-lit den with a flickering light and stacks of files surrounding her.
I really appreciated that this film shed light on a nationwide and almost-globally-wide problem of cities who have prospered on account of exploitation, and as a consequence, have created a mental health crisis that would otherwise not exist. Mental illness is treatable, always, despite not always being curable. Furthermore, in MANY cases, mental illness is a product of childhoods that begin in neglectful homes on people who need to be cared for themselves that are exploited by cities that rely on runaway train capitalist economies. I'm glad I gave this film a shot, because all of my fears that this was just one more of the millions of works out there that demonize people who are legitimately suffering were misled. Joker shows what happens when a human who needs help can't get it, which I think is where the controversy lies: people don't want to address the elephant in the room, that the pain they've experienced, while still never justified, didn't have to happen. It offers some sense of closure when one can feel completely victimized... to offer empathy for the person who hurt them "senselessly" and realize... it may not have been senseless to that person, requires a moral culture that most of the western world has colonized.
But then again, maybe I'm just another liberal snowflake.
P.S. I'm not a liberal, though admittedly I did settle for Biden, I align more with the leftist Noam Chomskys of the world as most of the people who got him elected do, but that's probably too high-brow for anyone ready to throw labels in a comment section.
"The Joker" is not your typical superhero film; it's a bold and thought-provoking exploration of the human condition. It challenges conventions, raises uncomfortable questions, and leaves a lasting impression. While it may not be for everyone due to its intense themes and psychological depth, for those willing to engage with its complexity, it's a cinematic experience that transcends the genre. Five stars for a film that leaves an indelible mark on the art of storytelling.
Would the critics say that Joaquin's Joker made the grade??? Did it live up to their expectations? Was the whole experience believable??? Of Course!!! Come' on, It's the Hollywood franchise for the "Dark Bat"!!! Yes,to all of the above posed inquiries!!! and I think that the stage is actually, set for a --real-- ease of transition into further storytelling with sequels (and follow ups or adaptations).!!! THE JOKER LIVES!!!
However, while all of the "familiar" Joker symptoms are present in this piece--at times this movie felt more like a political thesis and psychiatric advertisement for prescription drugs to help people who are suffering from mental illnesses rather than the case for the maniacal manifestation of a modern tyrant whom is ultimately destined to confront a certain "dark horse" vigilante in a future existential battle for the wills and hearts of the normal and oppressed citizens of Gotham (a "REAL" city BTW...HA HA HA HE-- HEH--HE HO HO HO, HA HA HA...!!!). Anyone who has ever experienced any kind of suffering or hardship in the U.S. --or the world for that matter-- IMMEDIATELY identifies with the newly minted "lovable" and vulnerable A. Fleck; they're subsequently drawn (possibly against their own volition) directly into the political ambitions and complicated aspirations of "Joker" (an entity which all of the audience wants to be or become-- secretly in their subconsciousness and in the real world--along with the “Flying Murcielago”).
With this film (as GOOD as it is...), it is a difficult mental task for the audience to make a real transitional identification with the "Joker" of A. Fleck, ALL THE WAY, to the tyrannical manifestation of the REAL Joker of the "Dark Dude's" conflict--the "real" Joker is basically a depiction of A. Hitler who is destitute and on the streets; of which "destiny" has ordered him to forge an army of capable misfits in order to deliberately conquer the world--which is the original premise for the inception of the Joker in the first place. OOPS!!! Joker slipped and incidentally "broke his crown" and is now a criminal through circumstance--"and not responsible for the contents of this message"-- when he could've been a productive member of society...
A Shakespearean attempt is always worth the effort :) Real critics (clinical academics) will argue that this film--as with other trends in Hollywood and yes, even too at Amazon Studios--are attempting to encroach upon a palpable manifestation of reality with characterizations and stories such as, this one (think, real coup d'etat which could theoretically be fomented inside the industrial entertainment complex--the Communist Party of the United States (COMINTERN) attempted this in the 1940s--NO, REALLY) --I left this movie feeling as if I understood all of the revolutions, revolutionary violence, dystopian efforts at the destruction of reality, and soaring oil prices in the world rather than the Joker and the Joker's iron grip over the Batman's existence...
The DAD scene was a little much (unfortunately the routine is also becoming TIRED)...Is Thomas Wayne supposed to be God in the flesh and thus Joker, Satan--with a half-hearted confrontation with his maker??? And has the great Wayne, incidentally, condemned him to walk the earth, eternally, both as a bastard and a motherless derelict or was it something more--like a statement toward the country's wealthiest "heaven dwellers..." (i.e., you'll never walk in the graceful light of the presence of the country's and the world's most wealthy and powerful families)??? The scene was anti-climatic, at best... with the climax being a predictably vengeful and reactionary "blow" to Joker's face...The Real Joker would have never conceivably handled this situation as the script warranted---the observer was left with a haunting and lingering sense that this depiction fast became the "SON OF JOKER" rather than Joker actually confronting one of his corporate milestones of inception and formation--I kept expecting H. Ledger, the "Real" or Senior Joker (or someone more sinister), to miraculously reappear and make a SURPRISE "Hollywood" style re-entrance; to round the corner and begin to defend Fleck with a monumental A#$kicking and torturing of Thomas Wayne in the bathroom...As much as I like Phoenix (in general) and as much of "A GOOD JOB" that he did with what he was allowed to work with--- the character never really developed into the final archetypal definition of a sinister dictator who is aspiring to dominate the "known universe" through total chaos...
Unfortunately, character development really lacked (almost non-existent) in this film and there really weren't any satirical answers (or even satirical attempts toward answers) with Joker's appearance on the "Tonight Now Show" with the "Franklin talk guy..." One of the defining characteristics of the Joker-- which is intentionally ironic, sad and sadistic-- is his ability to make humor both his weapon and lure; then to torture his victims,emotionally and preliminarily, before they meet their cruel demise at his discretion...His humor is tragically "sad" because it's REAL and palpably identifiable with historical world events and human behavior in THE WORLD...
I'm sorry... Hollywood has sold your children's' minds and hearts with little to no effort...the NEW "Dark Horse" series and the concept of the "new" Joker are adult concepts of reality and really aren't meant to entertain "the kiddies" or grab their susceptible fascinations with "the possible" world of fantasy and fiction; in fact, Nazi children weren't allowed in the war room with "daddy;" they were told to be good little boys and girls and to "go to bed" or to "go play;" Joker's punch lines-- and one liners-- are elucidations not only of a man (or NOT man) who has grown so callous, cynical and unforgiving due to a world which he perceives as similar in context (to himself and his situation) that "common place" murder is not only acceptable...it's FUN!!! (i.e.,has become entertainment)--the jokes are also justifications for his type of (mentally deranged) violence--which inflicts "maximum" damage with a "maximum" point and is a complicated and serpentine interaction with a being who--most times--has the "upper hand" over the subject with which HE (IT) is dealing with...(e.g., "Franklin's Showww...was unfortunately 'terminated' Ha Ha Ha He He Heee...due to a lack of meaningful conversation (Franklin talked too much about nothing) and "Franklin" is now unfortunately INDISPOSED and DETACHED..." (What??? There's a sudden change of heart and moral consciousnesses in the minds of Hollywood, Television and the "planners" of the Entertainment Industry... that Joker 2.0 has to be watered down due to the character's previous toxic levels of potency??? AWWW!!! COME ON!!! the country loves it (secretly) and we've gotta make money...) And with no more "people" to beat and kill then...the fun's over...Ha Ha Ha He He He.
It's still worth the rent however, and if you're a collector of the "Dark Maniac" series then, I'll say that this movie is also worth the purchase...however, if you're a connoisseur of Joker--you take him seriously and feel that you understand him and his character's premise better than anyone else in the world...then this movie is probably not for you...
The political allegories are subtle but they're there and should be watched along with Scorsese's " King of Comedy ".

C'è una tensione continua nel film diretto e scritto con Scott Silver da Todd Phillips. Ci sono le musiche dell'ìslandese Hildur Guðnadóttir che continuano a grattare metaforicamente unghie sulla lavagna al centro del petto dello spettatore, mentre il protagonista, un povero reietto lasciato ai margini dalla società e calpestato, fisicamente e psicologicamente, da quasi chiunque gli stia attorno, completa la sua trasformazione senza che sia necessario l'intervento di una mosca impicciona.
È proprio questo il bello e l'intimamente pericoloso del Joker di Todd Phillips, sta tutto nella descrizione che ho appena dato del suo protagonista. Tutte le discussioni sul pericolo emulazione, il timore di sparatorie nel paese in cui le armi automatiche le trovi in omaggio nei sacchetti di patatine, vanno necessariamente inquadrate in una premessa e una considerazione. La premessa è che qualsiasi cosa può esercitare un'influenza pericolosa su una mente squilibrata, da una certa canzone dei Beatles, metti, alla Bibbia o alle palline di mais al formaggio. E non puoi censurare per questo l'arte, per la semplice ragione che altrimenti si dovrebbe eliminare le favole e praticamente qualsiasi altra forma di narrazione. Ma qui si è nel club del videoludico, del capolavoro.
La considerazione, data la premessa, è che un soggetto che si senta ai bordi dell'esistenza, rifiutato dal sistema, possa trovare facile in Arthur un simbolo, tanto quanto avviene nel film per chi indossa le maschere da clown. Questo perché la pellicola di Phillips ti porta ad empatizzare con il personaggio, sottolinea come ogni data azione violenta di Arthur sia rivolta a chi gli ha fatto del male, lo ha attaccato, ha provocato o accresciuto i suoi traumi psicologici. Sia meritata. Sia, almeno fino a un certo limite, giusta. Il Joker di Phillips è un Punitore triste con la risata incontrollata, un Giustiziere della Notte, e come tale viene visto nella storia dalla parte di Gotham che si sente lasciata fuori dalla società dei ricchi e dei potenti.
Arthur diventa Joker perché il sistema non funziona e non lo aiuta; Joker è un figlio a tutti gli effetti del marcio della società, oltre che un suo simbolo. Il passaggio successivo, la trasformazione e la compiaciuta incarnazione dell'anarchia stessa, fa esaltare il pubblico. Il che nella migliore delle ipotesi si tradurrà in una pioggia di avatar con la faccia truccata di Phoenix sui social network, in una nuova maschera che ne esaltare la sua figura. JOKER È ENTRATO IN SCENA ED È UN CAPOLAVORO !
