I'm amazed how realistic this movie is going to be. The streets are so gritty and real I could almost smell the piss and trash on the streets. I'm not sure if you are joking or not. Comic book movies are a poor place to look for or expect realism. I know that Nolan tried to push in that direction and had success - but overall to try to contain comic books in a realistic setting is to misunderstand the whole set up.

I'm not joking and I don't think comic book movies are a poor place to expect realism, Nolan had success which you pointed out. Joker is going to be different. It's looking to be a tragedy, a character story about a man with mental illness that just happens to be set in world which originated from a comic book.

Kal-El814 Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 So with DeNiro, this movie is just literally The King of Comedy meets Taxi Driver, isn’t it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brick Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 This movie will probably be pretty good, interesting, with a great lead performance, but also spawn some of THE WORST fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The government didn’t help its case push for and completely bungling Brexit. And I’m sure parliament was full of asshats when V for Vendetta released too. Joker does look good though. It very much draws inspiration from Killing Joke, in that we’re seeing a troubled man sink further and further into insanity until he snaps.

That's such a weird age gap to go with. Batman and Joker should be contemporaries. Or perhaps “Arthur” inspires the “real” Joker.. or perhaps theres a “dishonest” narrator at play in the film Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 It’s OK. Phoenix is amazing, but there is little character to study in this character-study. I’m still glad Warners is making these sorts of films in the currently bland landscape of comic book film. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He said the movie was confused and didn't seem to know what it wanted to say. He also said that may be intentional given the main character.

It's perhaps an odd time to give a character study to a misunderstood, mentally ill white guy known for mass murder. Then again, The Punisher is basically "what if mass shootings were done by a protagonist" and people are still into it, so what the hell do I know.

Mercury33 Posted September 1, 2019 Share Posted September 1, 2019 Maybe I’m totally misreading the trailers. But Arthur seems to have a meaningful relationship with not one but two women in the film. He doesn’t seem like an “incel” at all. So wtf is Indiewire talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
