Go see Joker

[Firefly]

I cannot give a review of this movie. There is really no way for me to properly do so. This is the legitimate film of the decade. It achieves so much in so little time and is a right and proper satire in the classical sense.

It’s a literal film about present day clown world set in the early 80s. It goes beyond irony. Beyond zeitgeist.

It calls a spade a spade.

I went in thinking it was Taxi Driver with the Joker.
How wrong I was.

It’s not even about classism, racism, the disenfranchised white man, or even gun control.

It is the definitive 21st century Pagliacci.

Rightfully and APPROPRIATELY it is a dangerous film. And we NEEDED this.

Few movies can ever attain such a feat.
Bad Lieutenant, True Romance, Freaks, Rebel Without a Cause, To Kill a Mockingbird.

Wow...you have piqued my interest with this FireFly.

[mack7.62]

Me too, I had no interest in seeing this but now....

[flenna]

So this isn't about an incel dealing death and destruction because he can't get any action? I guess the MSM got it wrong again....

Yeah, no kidding

It must be that good because the left is going crazy about it (negatively). Numerous articles “warning” the public about it and complaining about it’s themes and message.

If this is the case, then I know I'm going to love it.

Taxi Driver was about an incel. Taxi Driver was a cartoon.

Joker hits too close to the bone.
Without going into spoilers, he’s not a bad guy. He’s not. He is implicitly innocent at first. Just an ordinary, downtrodden man trying to get by.

He has problems which are explained and aren’t unreasonable. And he keeps trying so damn hard throughout. I cannot say he is sympathetic as much as he is totally understandable.

Ledger’s Joker was most likely a soldier whose One Bad Day started in SWA. A bit grandiose but not totally out of the question.

Nicholson’s Joker was a gangster goombah who had a taste for Vaudeville.

Romero’s Joker was simply a classical imp who was darkly subversive for the 60s(I actually like his Joker most of all)

But Phoenix Joker is legitimately horrifying because he could be anybody. Throw enough shit at someone long enough and don’t be shocked if he throws shit back in deuces.

There are points in the film where you see that if something was just a bit different that all the bad could have been avoided. He never stops being sincerely and genuinely optimistic until he realizes nothing is going to change. Then it gets dark.

The joke is ultimately on YOU. The viewer. Because you live in the clown world YOU helped create either by doing too much, not enough, or nothing at all.

These are the 2010s folks. Where we have devolved to the point that villainous traits seem not just reasonable but essential to survive.

It’s brilliant.

As for Letos Joker.. that never happened

It was amazing, I can’t stress that enough.

I don’t wanna speak on it, but it’s something you should get out and see.
