it was nice while it lasted but now they're trying to milk it too much
>was it really that good?
it was better, one of the greatest movies of all time. deserved the golden lion award. stellar cinematography, acting, casting, audio, everything, the whole package.
no, discount taxi driver with nonsensical plot
i mean only incel 'literally me' morons thought it was good so probably not
Sorry, is that JigC?
baby's first taxi driver
What's babby's second taxi driver?
It’s a gateway film of sorts. Introducing capeshit and big budget consuming morons to the idea that films can have a message and artistic meaning, and guide them towards actual cinema.
I'd say it was for me as it wasn't exactly what I was expecting initially. I really liked it's depiction of mental illness, Arthur's loneliness and longing for companionship.
>Looking back was it really that good?
Yes. If anything it's underrated because people write it off as capeshit. Also, everyone somehow missed how the entire plot revolves around the needless politicisation of things that aren't political, which justifies how much it borrowed from Taxi Driver and The King of Comedy
>falls in love with a black woman
Not much realistic
id say that made it even more realistic
Why? Let's talk about it
When a homie is down bad, he'll do crazy things. Like simping for a sheboon single mother.
McDonalds Scorsese
I like how this board hates Scorsese but then all the sudden loves him when Joker threads pop up.
Speak for yourself, I love him. Joker sucked.
It's alright. It's a pretty predictable script but well done and very well acted. Worth seeing once and forgetting about honestly.
No, joker being depicted as a sperg moron makes it harder to identify with him. He’s literally a Jimmy (from fishtank). If Joker was a normal guy who got fricked over by the world and it fricked him up, that would be more relatable because “it could happen to you”. Him being a sperg that was fricked from birth because of his c**t mom just makes it like there was no hope for him, he’s just a pathetic guy, and he caused a riot by shooting some people and going on a talk show. He didn’t really become joker until the end, so a 2nd movie would have probably fixed these problems, would have told the story of how a fricked up person can be inspired to build themself into something to really tear down what hurt them, but without that, the movie is incomplete.
He doesn’t torment anyone, he doesn’t have some master plan, he was just a weird guy.
Also, a joker film should be a cult classic akin to slim shady music, it should inspire youth to rebel. Joker did not inspire me to rebel, it made rebels out to be spastic morons.
It caused riots in China that lead to them releasing corona virus
>He's a sperg
But he still makes an attempt at normality, eg. holding down a job, getting help for his mental issues, supporting his family. He makes the attempt at life everyday, so he's still an everyman just to a lesser extent.
It was that good.
I think a large part of what elevated it is that the director only previously made boner low brow comedies so seeing this from him made people underestimate it, then get pleasantly surprised.
If you read the actual script it’s a lot worse than the final film. So either Joaquin Phoenix or the director were changing stuff day to day. Even the final scene was different, in the script he uses a piece of glass to carve a smile in his face rather than just rub blood like the movie.
If he can catch lightning in a bottle twice I will be surprised. The news it’s a partial musical is good IMO because they’re not just making a literal sequel where the same shit happens but it’s bigger or he just happens to be in an asylum,
The real problem IMO is whether they nail Harley right. She should not be a hero the same way Joker wasn’t “really” a hero but I have my doubts they can resist turning her into a feminist hero. It’s hard to imagine this joker abusing her in the first place so it’s weird lol
In recent years, I have learned to look past his appearance an appreciate Leto's Joker for at least acting like the Joker. I'm so sick of this "insane mutilated guy" character everyone keeps pushing, it's not amusing. Joker is the kind of villain you should laugh at, he's not this ruthless psycho, he needs a tremendous level of charm, and Hollywood just doesn't get it anymore
It wasn't even good when it came out
I personally didn't mind it being a rehash of classic Scorsese films, that's actually kinda common in comics, basing a character or major plot elements off of a popular movie. For example, the classic Batman arc The Long Halloween (which in part served as the inspiration for The Dark Knight) was itself partially inspired by The Godfather, with Maroni and Falcone Mafia bosses, plot elements and imagery being pretty clearly lifted from Coppola.
I was kind of disappointed, it was like a capeshit dumbed down Le Samourai
