LimeGreenLegend 4,175 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 Just saw the first trailer for the upcoming Joker film, and holy shit it looks amazing! It was gonna take a lot to take Heath Ledger's Joker off of the top of the pile but this looks like it could do it. I didn't know much about this film apart from the fact that Joaquin Phoenix is playing the joker, which is a good start. I did some research and the story was hugely inspired by The King of Comedy, one of my favourite films. Joker also stars Robert DeNiro as a talk show host, which is funny because in The King of Comedy he plays a comedian obsessed with a talk show host. Anyways, this is now one of my most anticipated films, just from this trailer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Con 5,703 Posted April 3, 2019 Share Posted April 3, 2019 (edited) I like JP and like origin stories (when done right), I dont expect anything groundbreaking from what's shown in the trailer, but it looks like I will definitely enjoy the main character's arc.

Con 5,703 Posted December 22, 2019 Share Posted December 22, 2019 Wow I nailed my prediction in April about liking his character arc. I look forward to writing a review for this as there is so much to say. 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was one scene where cops get attacked due to them escalating the situation and the movie got a bad rap for that, when the focus should be how people like Arthur Fleck slip through the mental health system. I have to rewatch it so i can properly review it especially after watching The King of Comedy in the site Film Club. Welcome to the site by the way. 1 Quote RSC FILM CLUB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story was great, though to me it felt like a snippet/scene more than a traditional plot - but it worked beautifully. The darkness kept it going for me - the bathroom dance scene, the apartment murder scene etc. They were all shocking but darkly comedic, which kept me on my toes.
