Preparation for the film Joker was announced in 2017 and since then, thanks to the overwhelming popularity of the character has been included in the lists of films awaiting, the degree of anticipation of the film increased after his successes in the international cinematic events in which he participated, the film starring Joaquin Phoenix and Robert De Niro and directed by Todd Phillips Who also wrote the script in conjunction with Scott Silver.
It was clear from the beginning that Joker is completely different from comics and superheroes whose production rates have increased in recent years, rebelling against the usual artistic elements of this type of film, and the most pressing question was whether this difference will be in his favor or will make it a scattered monster between the rankings Mixed, after the release of the film internationally we finally got the answer.
The story of the movie
Joker revolves around Arthur Felix, a simple clown who aspires to be one of the most famous comedians and who suffers from mental and psychological disorders.
Joker single-line multi-axis script
The Joker script follows a single major dramatic line from start to finish and reviews its entire events from the perspective and vision of one person, Arthur Felke, but he also - very professionally - used the character to highlight the reality of Gotham City, which suffers from various social diseases, unlike all The works that confronted this famous fantasy city - most notably Batman films - were not portrayed by a dark city that needed a savior to descend from its skies as much as a dark city deserving of punishment punished out of its own corrupt society.
The script realized from the outset that it was reviewing a story already known to the viewer, so he did not draw as much attention on the sequence of events as he relied on the character who mastered in drawing and showing its details to make it more interesting and made its internal psychological struggle a central focus of its construction, while the sequence of events was the second axis or This does not mean, at all, that the film is free of surprises and distortions that the scenario excelled in using them at specific points to increase the dose of suspense and raise questions in the viewer motivate him to continue to follow.
The Joker scenario was also characterized by a balanced rhythm that did not accelerate to the degree of loss of logic and create gaps in its construction and without slowing down to the degree that he expected in the monotony trap, thus able to attract the attention and focus of the receiver from the opening scene to the conclusion without feeling bored any chapter of the film.
Easy refrain embodiment
There is now almost unanimous opinion that Joaquin Phoenix was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Lead Actor this year and some went further and asserted his eligibility to win. Beyond those expectations, Joaquin Phoenix made a spectacular performance for Arthur Felic / Joker, who was perfect, and despite the strangeness of personality. In his performance the slightest exaggeration or exaggeration.
Production design
When it comes to the film Joker must stop in front of the elements of production design, which was one of the most prominent and influential artistic elements of the film and without losing a great deal of magnificence, where the locations of photography - carefully selected - and elements of the interior and exterior decor fully reflect the place and time of events.
The role of these elements not only moved us back decades, but also contributed to the expression of the nature of life in Gotham, the city of Satan, which is mired in chaos and demagoguery, which suffers from rampant class disease, which includes a category of super-rich while most of its population suffers - And including the main hero - from extreme poverty.
Directing
Director Todd Phillips's history before Joker is limited to a number of comedy experiences, some of which were as distinct as The Hangover, which despite his success did not draw enough attention to his director, making Joker certainly a watershed in his career.
Todd Phillips has been able to present a very distinctive film that can comfortably be included in the list of the best films not only in 2019 but in recent years in general.He has excelled in combining his various artistic tools to provide a cinematic picture rich in detail.Most of his cadres are impressive and expressive in terms of composition using this. Each element is available in front of it colors, lighting and shades beside the shooting angles.
My opinion on the film
We put Joker before the screening before a pressing question and after the screening asked another more urgent question, how much impact on the future comics? Can he open the door to more bold, out-of-the-box experiments, including projects that have already been neglected, such as Darren Arnowski's Batman: Year One? We will wait for an answer, but I think the answer will be “yes” and no. We wait a long time.
