Joker (2019)  
Dir. Todd Phillips 

7/10 – I really enjoyed the general style of the film and how it gave the viewers – especially DC fans – a deeper insight into how the Joker came to be. I normally don’t particularly like films like this, but I just thought it was well made in terms of the setting and how it looked, as well as the really good acting from Phoenix. 

The most memorable scene for me was when Fleck went to the children’s hospital before being fired and he dropped his gun when singing If You’re Happy and You Know it. It was particularly memorable for me because it almost felt like comic relief for the views amongst the sad themes of Fleck’s mental illnesses and violent tendencies. It was shocking and dark but at the same time, the reactions of the children and Fleck’s mannerisms when he shushes the children as if they were doing something as minimal as talking over him, made the scene humorous.
