Todd Phillips attempt to personify the dark character of joker basically an intense villainous character, it tried to dig into the character of Heath ledger in the Dark knight (2008). Joker is intense and dark in terms of characterization.
The movie is almost two hours long, Joker is basically based on green faced psychopath, who is on the way of unstoppable destruction. Arthur fleck played by Joaquin Phoenix is a struggling stand up comedian, who is never happy in his life, with the ailing mother, and ruthless world always blowing his life.
Joker us arguably the finest work by both director and actor, though the justification of the lead character is questionable, if you think that Ledger gave life to the maddening character, Joker is excellent tribute of bringing humanity to such villainous character. Perhaps, Todd Phillip Joker is intended way of justifying the character of impaired human mind which could end up giving long-lasting impression on audience. The sheer impeccable performance of Joaquin Phoenix overshadows the intention of director.
Director plea to Joaquin Phoenix, who tries to make the world happy every time, in turn he gets hurt every time. Go and see this outstanding acting performance given by Joaquin Phoenix as Joker.
