My Favorite Movie Of 2019
Joker
"Joker is a 2019 American psychological thriller film directed and produced by Todd Phillips, who co-wrote the screenplay with Scott Silver. The film, based on DC Comics characters, stars Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker and provides a possible origin story for the character. Set in 1981, it follows Arthur Fleck, a failed stand-up comedian whose descent into insanity and nihilism inspires a violent counter-cultural revolution against the wealthy in a decaying Gotham City."
Reasons why I love Joker:
- The acting is amazing (Joaquin Phoenix won several awards for his acting chops in the movie)
- The cinematography is beautiful (I'm a film nerd so I love that stuff.)
- It makes you think about the state of the world we live in currently and how people treat each other.
- The Batman universe is my favorite superhero universe.
- The movie is controversial. Don't believe me? Read some reviews.
