Joker, portrait of a psychopath but beloved by a nation

In the science fiction genre of Hollywood cinema, especially the superhero genre, many movies have been made that include different dimensions of humans. Courage and effort for the survival of the family are among these dimensions. In 2019, on the silver screen of Hollywood, we see a masterpiece that indescribably takes us back to our childhood. That's right, Joker After Nolan's masterpiece, which we mainly remember as the Joker with Heath Ledger's fantastic role, we haven't seen a significant work on this DC character. Considering the unique and brilliant history of Phoenix in the cinema, we can be sure that he can handle this role and he is right. In the first scene of the movie, we see Arthur being rejected by society. He has experienced all the behavior that a citizen can imagine in his life. He is treated by a government consultant, but the consultant never tells him the root cause of these illnesses and depressions. Perhaps the most important reason for Arthur's illness or the hundreds of unknown patients in the sunken city of Gotham is the failure to properly attend to human needs. In this city, everyone thinks about himself. Even the mayor, who is at the head of this great responsibility of meeting the needs of the citizens. Is.

In the scene where Arthur kills his mother, it is clear that Arthur is ready to destroy the dearest person in his life. We do not want to say here whether Arthur is guilty or not. Because as it is clear from the course of the film, Arthur's mother has given him a hard blow in the past. Nothing matters to Arthur anymore. He leads the people of Gotham in a great uprising. It can also be mentioned here that every single person in Gotham is an Arthur who all listen to the order of their leader Arthur and prepare for a big fight.

Arthur’s maniacal laughter is a sign of Phoenix’s strength in this role. The story takes the audience with it from the very beginning, and in this 2-hour journey, the audience cannot even blink.
