As long as he didn't go full retard.Seems like this is the type of character that always gets the accolades.
Apparently, it’s about mental illness and has nothing to do with incel culture.
Reviews are all over the place on this bugger. Most critics are saying that Joaquin Phoenix knocked it out of the park but the movie is all over the place, it will be interesting to see what the movie goers think.
I thought it was the Johnny Carson role.The little bit I've seen in the ads gives me the impression that part of the set-up portion of the story must be Phoenix doing a variant of DeNiro's Rupert Pupkin character while DeNiro takes the Jerry Lewis role from King of Comedy.
No, I haven't seen that. Just in seeing the movie it looked very Johnny Carson-ish.Jerry Lewis played a Carson type that DeNiro interacted with. You must not have seen King of Comedy.
Joaquin Phoenix played a good Johnny Cash. It seems he does whacko well because he is a bit off irl. His interviews pimping Walk the Line were fairly telling, as was his nascent bearded-loon-rap career.....
Tough film to rate. I liked it and Phoenix obviously did a tremendous acting job. I felt like once he became the “Joker” it wasn’t the same character that we’d seen built up for two hours. Like it was too quick of a turn for a film that is essentially a character study. Maybe a lot of that was due to coming off of all of the medications he was taking. A lot to dissect and will probably watch it again in a few weeks.
That was for that weird Casey Affleck movie. Apparently an act. Letterman interview was goldJerry Lewis played a Carson type that DeNiro interacted with. You must not have seen King of Comedy.

Two happy hemorrhoids? Great rating!Just watched it. Incredible acting by Phoenix as everyone has said. To me it was about mental illness and how it can degenerate without the proper care. I would add that I'd probably go nuts if I had to climb those stairs every night to get home. I generally judge a movie on how soon my begings to hurt. This time I had no pains and, to me, the movie seemed to fly by. And I agree with the King of Comedy references, but not to the Taxi Driver references. I'd give it a 7.
Phoenix was really good .. Definitely should get a best actor nomination. Guessing movie will be nominated too.
Prob 9-10 for me. I can see why some of the backlash has happened but not for the violence which to me wasn't out of this world crazy.
They kind of tried to make joker and the antifa like mob sympathetic instead of them being murderers and domestic terrorists. Real hate the rich vibe too but hey that's Hollywood. They'll cash their tens of millions in salary while some preaching on anti rich gets baked in
Still a great film and character study overall
