Joker tells a variety of physical and mental violence

that forced to be accepted and traversed by Arthur

Fleck (Phoenix), a failed comedian. He lived in an
era when Gotham was chronic, full of inequality,
crime, and anger in the 1980s.
This is the foundation of character development
called the Joker known as the 'Criminal Prince' and is
called 'supervillain'. It takes mental readiness to be
able to accept and understand everything that is
passed by Fleck. In this context, director Todd
Phillips really does not make the Joker as
entertainment that is easily swallowed.

Social conflicts such as mental health problems, class

clashes, and manipulative politics are clearly and
clearly displayed. Including Fleck's mental journey,
from the beginning of an oppressed person to a cold-
blooded criminal who does not feel anything when
taking someone's life.
Joker is really made for viewers aged 17 years
and over. This warning is not only related to acts
of physical violence in the film, but also the
maturity in receiving messages in the film. In
addition, viewers who have mental health
problems or depression will be far wiser to avoid
this film. Or ask for assistance from someone
close to you if you want to witness it.
Todd Phillips, who was also a producer and helped
write the script with Scott Silver, was able to bring
the audience to feel how to be abused, marginalized,
get fake affection, and unwanted. In a barrage.

Not only that, a variety of violence is also displayed

clearly, or at least able to make the audience silent a
thousand languages.

On the other hand, Joker also illustrates how bad the

impact that appears on someone who feels a lack of
love, appreciation, acceptance, and affection from his
surroundings. Add to this the failure of the
government to help those who are among the
marginalized - including those who need the help of
professional psychologists.

The real problem can happen with anyone in this

world, not just the Joker.

Unfortunately, all the poor conditions that were

experienced by Fleck who actually also grew up with
trauma from a childhood rooted in his psyche.
This dark narration from Todd Phillips is also a slap
for anyone to be kind to anyone, because no one
knows what's behind someone's smile or laughter.

For the narration and message behind this dark story,

Phillips really deserves extraordinary appreciation.
He was able to present a complete package of
cinematic works. However, it should be remembered,
this film itself becomes a matter of debate, especially
because it makes the audience empathize with the
cold-blooded villain.

Apart from all the debates and messages in it, the

Joker not only has a strong story and is able to amaze
the audience, but also its mesmerizing
cinematography, with an aesthetical musical
accompaniment.

As for Joaquin Phoenix, an Oscar is very appropriate

for him. He also has only been nominated three
times, once for Best Supporting Actor, and twice as
Best Actor.

Even so, with Phoenix's appearance as a Joker, he

has actually won the hearts of the audience. The look
in his eyes, facial expression, gestures, and even his
laughter are able to convey the pain and tragic
experience of Arthur's life.

When comparing Phoenix with Heath Ledger as one

of the best actors playing Joker, both are different
versions and difficult to compare.

Joaquin Phoenix was great at playing Arthur Fleck

before becoming Joker. Whereas Heath Ledger is the
best version after becoming a Joker.
