Finally watched this movie.
Every person that was killed deserved it. Phoenix played a very sympathetic character. The whole movie had a "Taxi Driver" vibe to it.
Solid 7.5.

Put BuckSwope in a Prison or Mental Institution
shareWhy? Joker killed some assholes. No fucks given here.
sharearrest Buckswope
share3 wall street pricks who were stomping him while he was on the ground. That can kill a person. No fucks given. His crazy abusive mother. No fucks given. A talk show hosts who publicly mocked him then invited him on the show to mock him some more. Again, no fucks given. Did I miss somebody?
shareTHAT DUDE IN HIS APARTMENT,THEN HE LETS THE MIDGET GO.
shareThat dude was a dick as well. He let the midget go because the midget was a good guy. Joker didn't kill for the thrill of killing.
Did he kill that doctor? that was talking to him in the hospital at the end? He did have bloody shoes. If so she didn't deserve it.
So I guess James Holmes,Timothy McVeigh Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are heroes to you
shareThey did a very good job of showing him to be a sweet person with good intentions for finally went crazy.
Taxi Driver is the opposite.
Taxi Driver isn't the same movie. The character in that was a perverted social misfit weirdo. He wanted to kill someone to be "famous" and it had nothing to do with being emotionally crushed.
You're right, but the two movies both had a man on the fringes of society that snapped. Both characters(to me) were sympathetic and both killed people that, IMO, had it coming. Of course there are differences, but the similarities are there as well. Plus they were both set in N.Y.(although of course one was called Gotham).
Again, I'm not disagreeing with what you wrote.
Yeah, there have been others films like that but people were saying it was a copy of Taxi Driver and it's not. I saw Taxi once and remember it very well. It was a totally different type of character and comment on society.
shareYou are one sick individual. lBut then there are people who identify with the maniac in this film. Lot's of mental illness out there.
shareI have to admit, after seeing how thin Joker was and then watching his preparation for the Murray show, I really expected him to start saying "you talking to me"?
shareits more king of comedy than anything else
shareInteresting... I don't think his clown colleague deserved to die. Didn't seem to have done anyting warrenting such a response... Neither did the TV guy for making fun of a recorded standup bit (that comes with the territory of being on stage in comedy; half the podcasts online are about this)...
I don't think the psychaiatrist at the end deserved to die either... she was only interviewing him...
I think if you look at the movie, not from the unreliable perspective of the psycho protagonist, then arthur cuts a more pitiful character than sympathetic...
