What's the original context of the image?

[–] CodyCannoli 17 points 11 months ago

I think it's from JonTrons Star Wars video game series

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

I remember when JonTron used to be funny

Joker was really close to being a great movie, but was ultimately too confused about what it wanted its message to be. Unless the message was just "I'm fed up, let's get violent already".

[–] [email protected] 7 points 11 months ago

Ngl, I think that was the message. As in "this is my backstory", end of story.

What made it good was perhaps more in how it was done.

Not every movie needs a moral of the story moment...

That's the problem, it didn't have a real message. It was aping Taxi Driver and King of Comedy, and it copied the aesthetics of those films very well, but it was all superficial. It's a perfectly fine movie, but The Batman had deeper social commentary than Joker.

Not sure why people expected hard hitting social commentary from The Joker

[–] pjwestin 4 points 11 months ago

Because it tried and failed to say something profound about mental illness while imitating one of the most celebrated directors in American cinema. Not sure why you're pretending this was just another superhero blockbuster when it was clearly trying to be an Arthouse film

Horrific post. The movie was pretty horrific also because it's a pretty harsh look at a mentally unstable individual going down the rabbit hole of insanity and being hero-ized for it. SICK indeed.

...its a joke?

[–] Cruxifux 8 points 11 months ago (2 children)

…it’s a movie about the origin story of the clown themed supervillain that fights Batman. Chill out.

[–] chiliedogg 3 points 11 months ago

It's licensed that way, but it's closer I spirit to being a spiritual remake of Taxi Driver than a comic book film.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

And it's a movie about a very unstable individual who corrupts himself into murder as some kind of response to his various "problems." The movie doesn't sugar coat the filth and horror of his abhorrent behaviors.

[–] Cruxifux 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Idk, I thought it was incredibly overrated. I’m not a superhero guy though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

It was overrated and I'm also not into the whole superhero thing. I'm still waiting for them to make a movie about something GOOD for a change.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I wasn't fond of the Joker movie since a lot of unstable people already idolized the character as though he was a role model...and worried the movie may turn him into a sympathetic anti-hero

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Exactly. I feel the movie did try to make him unsympathetic in many ways, and I'm not saying I didn't like the movie, I really did. But it clearly made him not just an anti-hero but the butt of the whole joke of all the problems in his life. He himself caved in and became the lowest kind of scum, a murderer, because of his own innate character flaws in frankly, his stupidity.

I know people with many worse problems than he has and they don't corrupt themselves into murder as a result. There are ways of handling things in a healthy way, though of course that doesn't make for interesting movies.

What did you think about the movie?

How would you score it?

Do you feel it's under, or over rated?
