[There is spoiler] Movie "Joker" Review: The director said, "A real movie that has been turned into an American comic movie," but what about?
"Joker" depicting the secret story of the birth of Batman's nemesis of DC Comics.
In addition to recent American comic movies, this is a different approach, as well as the remarks of Director Todd Philips, which has become a big topic.Although it is not mentioned so much, it is the content that has stepped into the story to some extent, so if you are worried about spoilers, please read the movie before reading.
Scarece -style psychostramar
By the way, the movie is a clinic and a livelihood in a city where crime and poverty spread, and the male who was living as a clown and made a livelihood as a clown, continued to fall, and as a comedian, he was madness from the bottom.A story about revenge on society that degraded the society.
Anyway, Arthur keeps up with the disaster and looks pretty and cute and can't help it, and at first she feels a little sympathetic, but she gradually turns out and becomes a villain who becomes a don -doned villain.A movie made.
As the director also referred to it, it was clearly a version of Martin Scorsese's movie "King of Comedy", a version of the Joker as the main character, has a bad -selling comedian.The atmosphere is like a story that misunderstands that it has become a star.
Robert de Niro, who played a crazy comedian in King of Comedy, was aimed at the macromers who were crazy about Arthur in Joker.It is a work that can be said to be American New Cinema, which is also influenced by the same Scorsese & Deniro's "Taxi Driver".
In other words, it is quite plain compared to other so -called American comics, and there is almost no action, so it may have been a work that would have been a face for those who expected such a route (although it was a notice that would not be expected).
Also, there was no connection with other DC movies in the story -like part, and the hero did not appear, so it was not a work to see Batman and other heroes.However, it can be said that the biggest attraction of this work was there.
No matter how scary villain appears in the movie, the hero will end up with the expectation that the hero will settle down coolly if the hero appears, but this movie has a shadow in this movie.Since it doesn't show any shape (it's not strictly zero ...), I can't read the development and I'm drawn to the story.
Not only the structure of the story, but also the tremendous performance of Hoakin Phoenix, who does not get tired of the audience.The madness of Joa Kin Phoenix, who has been losing 24 kg for this role and gained weight, is nodded that the critics who were harsh in American comics praised.This area is like Deniro.
Just going to see Hoakin, who plays a sick man who is sad but sad, is worth watching this movie in the theater.That's just amazing.
In addition, the city is devastated and the worst thing continues to happen, but one of the attractions is that the shooting itself is beautiful and has many very cool scenes.
Nevertheless, the director's remarks make me feel sick
The movie itself is quite wonderful, but what was really caught by Director Todd Phillips.Some people may say that the director and the work are different, but the story that the director talked in the promotion of the work is still a concern.
The first thing I was worried about was that this movie might be a movie that promotes violence, but in an interview with The Wrap, this work was not such a movie, and as a trigger for production.He said a movie and made a real movie sneaked into the movie studio's production method. He said that he had a real movie with a real budget and called it "Joker". "
This was a matter of course, but was also opposed by fans of American comics and comics production.In the first place, the director said before that this work would not pick up only the comics and follow the story as it was, and I think it was true.
It is seen that the former comedian joker who does not sell is a little small from Alan Moore's "Killing Joke" and "Dark Knight Returns", which depicts the resurrection of the old Batman.I understand immediately.And as a whole, I think that I was able to draw the character of a joker, which has nothing to do.
However, American comics are not all connected to the world as Marvel and DC's recent movies, and even in DC and Marvel works, they are completely separated from time series.It is also a common form that writers change the settings and worldviews as they want to do and draw a new story of existing characters (such as graphic novels.There were times when I was.)
And "Killing Jokes" and "Dark Knight Returns" on the top are typical examples of DC comics.So, for comic fans, it's a very DC comic -like movie.
I don't know why the director made such remarks, but I think this movie was a real movie and was a good American comic movie.
In an interview with a Vanity Fair, he said, "There are many articles that comedy will not be established in recent walk culture (recognizing discrimination and prejudice in society)."The comedians stopped laughing in an unscrupulous style so that they would not be angry, and said they had stopped comedy.He said, "So how do you do something irreverent instead of comedy?
This remark was a flaming state just before the movie was released, following a fierce rebound from the comedians (no explanation of this) just before the movie was released).
There is no such thing as far as I know, various comedy is established, there are clean comedy and dirty things, and some comedians laugh as a person who intentionally speaking (on purpose).Anthony Jeselnic, where live shows are also distributed in Netflix, is its typical popular comedian).
Director Todd Philips is known for comedy works such as the "Hangover" series and "Du Date", and some of them are doing things that can not be done now, but that irreverent comedy.It was surprising to say this honestly because it wasn't.
It seems to be an appropriate statement that I do not understand much about the current situation of comedy, and it seems that my comedy is no longer good because of the times, social situations, and the most angry customers.It will be.
In fact, this is a very tasteful statement that the Joker's Arthur Frek does not look back on himself, and is overlapped with the story of being blamed because of his surroundings and society.
It is a pity that the director's series of remarks is a bit sweet and does not understand the intention.With these remarks, it is rough and rough, such as "a work that has opened this cramped world" or "This is not an American comic movie anymore!"I want to believe that the evaluation is not born.
A work that feels the momentum of the genre of American comics
Anyway, I don't know if it's intentional or intentional, but after all, "Joker" was like an American comic movie.The director's rough remarks, but it was a wonderful work.Even those who have not had such an American comic movie so far should check it out.
Personally, I hope that followers of this work will be created, a counter for it will come out, and the genre of American comics will become more interesting.It was a work with such momentum.
The movie "Joker" is currently being released nationwide.
