No chance we get an older Hannibal Lecter type Joker in a jail-cell in the upcoming Reeves/Pattinson Batman series, right?TCTTS said:

Thats a fantastic article. And what it really hammers home is the expectations game that Phillips played. No one made him set the bar at Taxi Driver or King of Comedy. As a stand alone film that is simply telling the origin of the Joker, I'm wiling to be a lot more forgiving and accepting. But he came out and spoke like his film had something to say and I'm sorry but its a half ass attempt at that.ATM1876 said:
A great read comparing Fight Club and Joker:https://www.indiewire.com/2019/10/fight-club-is-best-joker-movie-1202179222/Quote:
Both films tell broadly allegorical stories about middle-aged white guys who grow so isolated from the world around them (and so disenfranchised from themselves) that they disassociate altogether, and both films entertain violence as a possible road towards personal agency. But where "Fight Club" confronts the toxicities of its time, "Joker" simply wallows in them.

I agree with you completely, but I didn't see joker the character as much as a mentally ill guy

I don't think it's a fair comparison, bc Joaquin had a lot more screen time, but I think Joaquin had a much better performance.
He completely transformed into another person.

By the time it ended I was ready to leave, i felt uncomfortable and wanted sunlight. Very dark and nihilistic
You may need to give TDK a rewatch, and really look at what Ledger is doing. His hunched shoulders, the thing he does with his lips. And I mean... the voice. The laugh.Living Legend said:
Ledger didn't make the transformation the Joaquin did in my opinion. Joaquin has a full blown transformation, down to his physicality.
He also wore grills like the rappers do. He was a pretty cool guy.Bones08 said:
Ledger and Phoenix were both great, but I gotta give best Joker to Leto. He ability to subtlety portray Joker as a Damaged individual was outstanding.
