Was the Joker worth watching?
Well I went to see it on my birthday, thank you Mum and Dad, and I have to say that in all things the beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I won't spoil the plot but I will say this, the new DC roll out of their members now that the whole Marvel get together and have a big party film is over. I can say that the trailer for that sexy little minx and in Deadshot's one only miss, Harley Quinn, looked very entertaining indeed.
I won't get off tract here but if you scroll to the bottom you will see Harley Quinn's trailer for Birds of Prey in all it's glorious multi coloured paint and make up.
The Joker was a back story one that didn't go far enough. I mean locked up for the killing of 3 men on a train and many more would at least earn you the chair or full life without parole. However at the end he seems to be in a psychiatric award despite a clown going to all that way to break him free from those evil men in blue seems a bit of a cliff hanger and I doubt we are going to get much more of a cliff.
The whole story is about a down and out trying to make it in the hard knock city of Gotham, a metaphor for New York if ever one needed explaining.
He is a dancer, a lover, not a fighter but the city turns against him. His social worker and his psychiateric drugs are removed from him by a cruel city, the jobs as a clown are at first very thin on the ground.That is until his ground breaking show on TV. Then they become a little far too thick all over the place.
However you can see in the way he moves when by himself or even at the end on the top of a cop car, that his heart has always been in the finer skills of dance and when he is mocked just before going on a talk show with his youthful ballet it is no surprise when he ends the presenters career with a bang.
However the violence from himself only starts from protecting a girl on a subway and then escalates as more and more of the forgotten Gotham city turns to clown suits, strikes, riots, burning cars in the streets and laughing at all who mock.
It is a film about a man who wants to explore the finer things in life but it is succumb to suffer the rage of an unforgiven city upon him instead.

Maybe one of the few last images we get of him is his future role as Batman's nemesis but I wanted to see how he got his permanent joker smile with a different tale at every telling.
I wanted to see his descent from this soulful, artful man to a villain who without another film I can only expect Bruce Wayne to be dead and gone by the time he ever escapes his psychiatric facility probably at Arkham during one of their mad doctors experiments on the city.
I am guessing all the 5/5 star ratings from the snob news on Sunday came from critics who don't care really about the content but more about the artistic flow of a film, how characters silently dance in front of glass and are turned by the madness around them yet despite taking it over succumb once again, Oscar Critics I call them, and they should all be ignored. Whenever you see a film with all 5 stars you can pretty much guess its a vote for an Oscar.

Harley Quinn's trailer for Birds of Prey
Now for some sexy girl time, a lady who doesn't mind saying what she means with a gun between her leg and was the best thing in the Suicide Squad if you ask me. That fall into paint that turned her from a prison shrink into the Jokers girlfriend was so much more than just rolling around in different colours.Watch the Birds of Prey Trailer #1 (2020) Right Here
Now after you have watched both films please tell me which one you thought was the best? I haven't yet but I know I caught myself nodding off a few times during the Joker.
If you just want to comment on the Joker or clowns in general then that's fine as well.
