Joker (2019)
[IMDB; en.wikipedia]
Most reviews...
- praise the movie,
- consider it really good with respect to everything,
- agree that it may at least earn some nominations at the Academy Awards if not win some etc.
...but, if you let the story/movie digest in the back of your head for a couple of days, you might conclude (as I have) that:
- The story (and the whole movie) actually is artificial and superficial in its stubborn attempt to be deep.
Seems deep, but it's actually chaotic. - Seems so European by the way it constantly bullies (i.e. psychically tortures) the main character.
- They constantly hesitate at taking sides and pointing fingers... or at least are very ambiguous about it... or maybe I just haven't paid enough attention to all details?... I'm still not sure whether the Joker has been 100% mentally ill, or it's been his mother's fault, or Thomas Wayne has mistreated Joker's mother...
The violence in the movie is ok. I agree with the "R-rating", but to be honest there's nothing special about it, nothing that may require debate - the whole discussion on this topic I suspect to be well done marketing to attract people to the cinema...
The cinema experience is a must. TV cannot possibly capture the whole experience the movie delivers at the cinema.
Conclusions
Joker (2019) is a good watch to most people, but not so much to me.
