Schnitzel Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 JOker... what a pos I wanted it to be good I really did but by the end of the movie I realised I'd been on instagram and couldn't work out how long I'd been on for whihc means the movie really failed to hook me. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NightmareOnElmStreet Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Just popping in to say how FIRE I thought the joker was.....Impressed. I got exactly what I expected out of it without listening to spoilers and other peoples opinions like I always do. I’m also not a comic book movie kind of guy aside from your obvious ones from the old school and from what I remember this joker shit did what it was supposed to in a very elevated way. Method acting.....whatever. But god damn that boy went in. Nice and brutal. Coulda used more death but I was satisfied. Only thing I really wanted to see was some cop killing and it was close.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schnitzel Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 i kept an open mind and didn't listen to spoilers. not usually a super hero fan but was looking forward to this I probably misinterpreted the trailer but I was of opinion the movie was going to show more of his rise to power as a villain. Like you said more killing wouldn't have hurt Jocquain Phoenix was great but the story plodded along waaay too slowly. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
One Man Banned Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I saw it twice (cheaply) in theaters and still unsure if I liked or not. I want to say I did as I would watch again. I think I liked it as a comic villain movie perhaps, but not so much as a deranged killer movie? Like he did a good enough acting job I suppose, enough to make people believe here's a guy on a downward spiral into mental illness. At the same time though, not enough to be believable to people who know and understand mental illness. Also thought De Niro was more of a distraction than anything, like show me an end of life Travis Bickle who's not giving a fuck anymore because he's old and dying and is ready for a final act of chaos to clean up the city.

But i truly feel like the ending was more than enough. Contradicted myself completely there but fuck it. You know what I mean lol. Villainous super hero thing was just shy of lame enough for me to love it. That ending was over the top but it crushed when the ambulance took out the pig ride and they dramatically pulled dude out but left him on the hood of the car. That shit was fuckin rad lol. 15 hours ago, One Man Banned said: I saw it twice (cheaply) in theaters and still unsure if I liked or not. I want to say I did as I would watch again.

I think the fact that they wrote in his “condition card” was very today as far as understanding the many different forms of mental illness. He was clearly suffering from seriously extreme depression and schizophrenia related personality disorders from what i could see as a dude with most of those issues. Ive also never dug in too deep on the subject outside of the surface stuff but i have been reading a bit more so I’m probably not in tune with the heaviest of understanding.

Those mental health terms aren't exactly accurate or necessarily related, but I think that speaks to the point. An actor need only portray what people believe something to be in order for people to think the actor is good- they got about what they expected. IMO a better actor can be what the role actually is and also sell that realness to the viewer. No doubt in my mind that Ledger would not have been as good in his own role had he not embraced the crazy. Taxi Driver was a (somewhat) more accurate portrayal of blooming mental illness. I was out of the comic scene before this origin story came about so not sure how closely the comic was followed but in terms of movie making I assume that today's sensitive climate as well as the continuing shadow of the movie theater shooting might have influenced the film makers to develop a more mental health sensitive script.

Movie has a lot of levels to it too, some beyond my ability to understand in terms of their politics and such. Good enough to watch again.

One Man Banned Posted March 21, 2020 Share Posted March 21, 2020 Not like they weren't offering those movies before but kind of funny how they've ramped up showing shit like Contagion and Outbreak currently. I guess I should put one of them on in the background while I read Camus and listen to Nuclear Assault. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
