| Joker (Todd Phillips, 2019) | Critical Score: 6/10 Action-packed films aren’t my favourite genre. However, I think this film was interesting and it had a lot of moments that inspired fear. I had no beforehand knowledge of Joker’s backstory, and I think it was very shocking and explained a lot about his character. The contrast of his laugh to his true emotions was very well done and eerie. Also, I think the film was very visually pleasing and the dim lighting and bland colours added a lot to the atmosphere. | Memorable Scene: The scene on the train when the Joker kills the three men; it was the beginning of his descent into madness and the shaking of the camera while the train was rapidly moving displayed insanity well. It was also a very intense scene, and the dark lighting and ominous green helped the scary atmosphere. He was also in the clown costume when this happened and the mask itself is a representation of the Joker’s identity. |
