      Idk I liked it a lot. Not because it was deep or anything. I just liked the writing and acting. It was also an immersive experience for me, not sure why.

        I unironically think it’s a better Joker origin(s) than the comics gave us.

        That’s not a hard bar to surpass though.

    You Were Never Really Here (2017) Is a character study of what happens to people with exposure to repeated unresolved trauma and violence. It’s basically like director Lynne Ramsay made Joker, but for a sophisticated audience. It even stars Joaquin Phoenix!

    Edgy talentless guy bashes others work with no regards and doesn’t even provide any context on why it is bad and in a way that could cut himself and then everyone lemmings clapped.

    It is amazing how much this film borrowed from King Of Comedy. Almost to the point of being reminiscent of Magnificent Seven remaking Seven Samurai to appeal to a wider audience.

      My sweet summer child… Making homages to the great Kurosawa has a long and proud history, including Fistful of Dollars, Last Man Standing, and many others. I’m glad you noticed the similarities, but don’t assume that observation alone is sufficient to support a theory. 🤘🏽

    It’s a Batman movie, how deep can it get? That’s like expecting cheeseburgers at a Chinese restaurant.
