Review of Joker (2019) by Sgy0003 — 06 Oct 2019

You know, Joker once said in a comic "If I'm going to have a past, I prefer it to be multiple choice!" I'd like to think that this is one of the many origin stories that are inside his head. The movie itself was amazingly shot. Each scene is very colorful or chaotically dull, representing Arthur's mental state. At first, you really feel for him. But then he gets more and more deranged, and you can't tell what's reality and what's fantasy that's in his head anymore.

I am kinda glad that there some humorous scenes here and there. Most horror movies in the past made monsters and killers goofier as the series went, ruining the experience. Not this movie though. The comedy in this movie feels really natural, which is weird because you just saw Arthur's craziness few scenes ago.

For me, this movie was a low-key psychological horror. There were many scenes that made me uncomfortable and made me question if we as a society are doing the same to some unfortunate soul.
