    For me, I thought it was one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen in my life.

      I had someone tell me that, and was incredibly let down. Maybe I just didn’t get it.

        I mean no offense to the previous poster but I feel like it was fine. A lot of people talked about Joaquin Phoenix being amazing but I felt like they just haven’t seen his amazing performances haha.

            Give them a shot some time. The Master is probably my favorite performance of his although it’s in a good not great movie.

        That’s fair, I’d argue that a viewer being able to closely relate to the protagonist or a character in the film is what changes their view of the film.

        For example, I’ve heard a lot of people love the Black Panther movie and the antagonist. I personally never liked the movie, nor relate to the movie at all, but I can understand someone relating to being an oppressed minority in American urban cities and the desire to rise up.

      I didn’t relate to anyone in the movie (that I can remember) and I still loved it.

      I really enjoyed it because of the immersion. I just thought it was good story telling and excellent acting.

      I didn’t really take the movie to have any deeper meaning. To me it was the telling of one version of the joker’s origin story, one that is more grounded and realistic.

        I was confused about him being Batmans brother. Is that canon now, or was it just in one of the marvel multiverses?

          I don’t remember this at all in the movie. When was this mentioned?

            He confronts Wayne in the bathroom at a party/fund raiser, IIRC.
            His mother used to work for the Waynes and hints towards this throughout

              Wait why would that make them brothers?

              I should add that I didn’t really care too much if the movie isn’t true to any source material. My enjoyment of the movie was of it as a completely self contained story.

          Been a hot minute since I saw it but IIRC that wasn’t real
