Final trailer ...
• One recent review: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/10/07/todd-phillips-joker-is-no-laughing-matter
This film is making the news all over the Internet, even the Army was mentioned.
The majority of people didn't even see it (it's not in theaters yet) and there's more talk about it than if people would have seen it.
Anyway I won't talk about something I know nothing about, but I did read a lot about, and seen few clips, and listened to some serious and concerned citizens.
But it's nothing new; every six months or so there's a film creating drama even before its theatrical release. In one way it's free Internet publicity, good for the buzz, for curiosity, for box office revenues, ... and in another way it raises some sensible cultural questions in the society we live in today...and I highly respect that. It's a fine balance and I'm no expert on this matter. I try to see both sides of the fence with a smart view.
If you've seen John Wick: Chapter 3 with the multitude of kills by guns, knives, book, ...it didn't have discussions like Joker is having right now. So in that way it's strange a little. But in direct relation to a past incident it's no laughing matter...that I fully understand too...I put myself in the shoes of those parents.
There is Rambo, Avengers, ...millions of films with violence, guns, sex, exploitation, etc. ...it's all part of America's fabric since America was discovered and conquered. Looking @ America's history from few hundred years ago, it wasn't a picnic.
And we can say the same for any country and continent.
Films are to entertain, in all forms, shapes and ways. And each country they have their own censorship and set of different values and beliefs. Where we live and what we do in our home turf is our private business, where others live and how they do is their own culture. Within our own it's a choice we all make, respecting all for all. Brief we are a free democracy of super intelligent people with the utmost respect to all our people from all ages and blood.
It's only a film but it seems to be a powerful film ... In America we love our films.
...All type of films. We love films from all over the world. We love comic books big time, basketball, hockey, baseball and barbecues.
Many actors played the Joker (from Batman comic books) over the years in front of our screens.
Heath Ledger is probably the best ever from The Dark Knight.
Now comes another great actor playing that role in its own movie. Yes it's only a movie for most, and for another audience a movie is like a schoolbook.
A good solid education is way more valuable than all the gold and diamonds of the world.
The Joker knows that, he knows the power of love in everyday's life.
It's only a film but a film can be a powerful thing ...
Different type of numbers; Joker movie rating scores from various sources ...
• https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7286456/ (was 9.4 @ one point)
• https://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/joker_2019 (was 77 @ one point)
• https://www.metacritic.com/movie/joker (was higher @ one point, sixties if not seventies)
• https://www.mrqe.com/movie_reviews/joker-m100128557 (was 76 @ one point)
Those ratings have lost some of their lustre in the last 24-48 hours.
* Joker is no ordinary film when looking @ varrious type of numbers...financial and movie rating scores.
