"Empathy for the Famed Comic Book Villain"

Welcome to the city of Gotham where corruption exists among men! Arthur Fleck is no ordinary clown struggling mentally and financially, a victim of horrific violence and commercial greed. He is set to become the famed villain of the city to take revenge for his experiences and influence everyone to resist. We see how the clown prince transform to be the archnemesis of our bat crusader.

While in the past everyone seems to hate the Joker, it's only now people get to see everything at his perspective. He too was a victim of bullying and oppression. These are what led him to be the vengeful and vicious villain we came to know. Yes, he killed people and yes, he retaliated with violence but with how his life was portrayed in this film, I can't help but feel empathy and eventually root for his cause. What people should understand is how one's actions can lead to one's hatred and madness in the future. Que sera sera, if I may. Arthur Fleck is a symbol of resistance - resistance against the evil that has degraded and took advantage of the lowest of society. His methods we may not approve but you'll feel compassion with everything he has been through.

I couldn't imagine anyone playing Joker as amazing and demented as Heath Ledger; but Joaquin Phoenix proved otherwise in what has been one of the best acting performances in recent memory. How the Joker laughs, thinks and acts may take days and months of method but Joaquin aced the experience of being Joker to its maximum. One other thing I liked the most about this movie, the artistic cinematography that highlights every scene as more than just a story but art. The movie astounds in so many ways that makes a potential boom of villain origins that would provide empathy over their superhero counterparts. I guess Warner Brothers / DC have found a way to counter Marvel's movie dominance with this. Joker maintains to be a highly recommended comic book outing well deserving of its numerous accolades at the moment.

Hail to The Clown Prince of Crime!
