Joker

I have had a love hate relationship with this movie since I saw the trailers for it.

This movie is most definitely not for kids 15 and under. This movie is disturbing and not just because of the violence but the way that mental illness is portrayed.

Arthur is a man down on his luck in the worst way and it never gets any better. It just goes from worse to worst.

I grew up with Batman and the Joker in cartoons and this is nothing like that.

They wanted a complete adult version of this film and this is what it is. It is most definitely a twist put on the Joker but they messed up because if this is how it truly started between the Joker and Bruce Wayne then all the other movies we've had screwed up because none of the Jokers would have been the proper age.

This movie most definitely has triggers so anyone who has a trigger cause of violent acts or abuse I suggest you NOT watch this movie. This movie is dark.

And the fact that Joaquin Phoenix had to become anorexic for this role was sickening.  

I had a close friend who died from this disease so for a healthy actor to go to such extremes for a role is just mind boggling.

I think that this film handled all of these issues that the Joker dealt with and was trying to deal with as nothing more than just that a joke.

I am so glad I didn't waste my money in theaters to see this. I am even kind of pissed off I wasted the rental fee to see it on Dish.
