Joker (2019) Review [Spoiler's Version] Explaining Joker.

                                     

JOKER(2019)

  Joker is not a movie with the same origin story fans of the Batman comics know and love as the director (Todd Phillips) made as a Heath Ledger type origin and story. as Ledgers joker gave "wanna know how I got these scars". This story tells of the poor and sad life of Arthur Fleck/Joker who suffers depression and PBA a laughing condition which he can't help. Joker is not just a movie based on a famous and iconic comic supervillain but for me I was shown how hard it is living with a mental illness. The movie is a confusing film as some events by Arthurs storytelling you cant tell what's reality and what's not. 

  What I love about this film is that it's a way darker, more mature take on this iconic character than comics give him back then and how child friendly takes make this character. Like I said earlier this is not at all related to comic counterparts, Joker tells of a more realistic story to The Joker as he isn't created from a vat of chemical's or just a man terrorizing the people with his scars. This Joker was created in a horrible sad and tragic life, Arthur Fleck was adopted by Penny Fleck a woman who allowed her child to be abused thus causing Arthur to grow up with PBA, PTSD and depression. 

  Arthur start's learning more about himself and end's up taking the identity of Joker after he committed his first murder. Arthur uses his anger and his new identity for revenge on Thomas Wayne who he is lied about being his father.

  As for Joaquin playing Joker. I was surprised to his take on Joker his laugh was pin point accurate his costume was well done though I was not a fan of make-up I think they put a creative way in Jokers look, when I saw the teaser I thought this was gonna be disappointing as Joaquin was a bit old to play Joker and that would mean there is probably a possibility that Joaquin would give up playing the role as not a lot  of actors stick around playing these characters for long but to my surprise news is going around of rumors Joaquin could come back and I am eager to see how this goes. 

  I am in love with how creative Joaquin took on this character. as facts told by Joaquin he says he lost about 52lbs in weight to get into character eating apples during the shooting, he also says that the laugh was the hardest part as Joaquin picked up this laugh online from people who suffer PBA.

  I really enjoyed this film as it opened my mind to more than I thought about the suffering of people who live with mental illness and I hope as you watch this movie you learn to open your mind as well and have an understanding that people with mental conditions are suffering and should not be judged.

   The Batman (2022) Review   Plot and Plot Elements: Batman must face an unknown masked serial killer who's killing the corrupt and leaving cryptic puzzles for the Batman,  Batman must put the pieces and answers together whilst causing Bruce Wayne and Batman to discover horrible lies within his family.   What Drove Reeves to direct "The Batman"?    Reeves told New York Times " I wanted to fight against any sense that Batman would remain static." he continued with " I wanted the stakes of the story to challenge him in a way that shook him to his core. He has to change."   What Reeves is saying is that after a long wait and Nolan's "The Dark Knight Rises" being the last stand alone and making the 80 year old character abandoned to his stand alone film's for a "static" decade he wanted to bring Batman back to the screen.   Was Pattinson the fit: (Robert Pattinson) Wow I really have a lot to say about this man's performance

TENET (2020) Review

  A secret agent is sent on a mission that will prevent a possible World War III. After being given word of an extraordinary special uranium is found to be able to reverse time, "Protagonist" must travel backward in time to stop the people who have this new weapon and alter events that will end the world. Christopher Nolan directs another thrilling movie with amazing music, action and crazy/special affects. This movie was amazing to watch as it gave me the same viewing experience I got from "inception"(2010) with off the walls "stunning" visual affects and very cohesive music written by Ludwig Goransson, I loved the amount of action and stunts done, I especially loved they casted John David Washington we was very good at his role. Thing I loved about this movie was that it involved a lot of science and twists just like Inception. It was filled was stunning affects and I loved the music as it fit in with the action, this movie was hard to understand as it’s

And he’s all for another adventure with the loved headmaster and wizard Albus Dumbledore, but what’s Dumbledore’s secrets?    Yes that’s right I’m asking you yes you! I’m not a reader of Harry Potter but I can love the fan loved films. I’m definitely excited for this new adventure!   But my question is! What’s Dumbledore hiding?  I don’t know this man’s secrets that probably were never spoke of in J.K Rowlings original Harry Potter books, besides his future agenda for Harry against Voldemort Or that he had a childhood love interest with our last seen villain Grindelwald… wait what!!! Yes our heroic headmaster was in a relationship with a villain.    Last time we saw the man he was played in a fantastic way by Jude Law in Fantastic Beast: The Crimes of Grindelwald. This gave an intense ending!    But let’
