OT: The Joker

[TheChamps990411]

It is very good. Different. Basically shows how the Joker became the Joker. Not quite Heath Ledger level but Phoenix is great. Will be up for a best actor Oscar. But I would take Adam Sandler over him for his work in Uncut Gems.

Considering JP carries JOKER as he is in every scene of the film while Ledger took up a lot less screen time and was more of a one note joker I have to go with JP although I love Ledgers outstanding version.

I think Egerton will win with Hollywood pushing all the fake diversity nonsense.

Welsh is diverse?

JP was outstanding in this.

Just watched this on HBO and I didn't really enjoy it. I thought Phoenix was great, but the movie couldn't hold my attention and seemed to drag.

My college-age daughter figured I wouldn't enjoy it because I was "White and privileged." When I said it had no plot, she said "The whole movie was a metaphor for today's society." I guess I'm an idiot. I told her I would watch it again with her.
