This movie is an instant classic. An instant Masterpiece. In the movie where Arthur is emptying out the refrigerator and goes inside it, that was not in the script. Joaquin Phoenix didn't tell the director that he was going to do it. He probably just thought of it when filming that scene. `There was talk about whether or not if he killed the neighbor lady, but nope, didn't harm her at all. Confirmed by Todd Philips the director. I have to look for it again, but there are numbers in different scenes in the movie counting down of when Arthur finally becomes the villain. They are filming a sequel. Joker 2. And it's going to be a musical. I am not kidding Lady Gaga will be Joker's love in the movie. Whether or not she is also Arthur's imagination, we'll find out. I saw one footage of them filming a scene where people are running in traffic and Joker is running also.

Great reaction Mary! The word you were looking for was “cringe”.

Did you notice at the end, as he was walking away after seeing the Psychologist, he was leaving a trail of bloody footprints?

While this film could be viewed as an origin story, it's important to point out that JOKER (much like WATCHMEN and Christopher Nolan's DARK KNIGHT trilogy) is intended to be viewed as its own thing, completely independent and unconnected of any other DC films before or after it. Much like comic books in general, DC has produced multiple interpretations of its IP. In this case, writer/director Todd Phillips utilized Arthur Fleck's story as an homage to the works of filmmakers like Martin Scorsese & Sydney Lumet and their acclaimed films from the 70s and early 80s such as TAXI DRIVER, NETWORK, THE KING OF COMEDY, and DOG DAY AFTERNOON. If you ever end up watching those films you will see the thematic & character influences in those films and where they were brilliantly applied in JOKER.

Great Reaction! I don't know if you caught it or not but, right before he kills Franklin he's looking at a picture of his mom and Thomas Wayne together with an inscription on it saying "I will always love you. -T.W." Which implies that maybe they did in fact have a relationship after all. It still leaves it open ended whether or not Arther is actually his son, because just because they had a relationship doesn't mean that she wasn't also mentally ill and made everything else up. But it makes it even that much more intriguing and mysterious with the possibility that Joker and Batman are actually brothers. They have had talks about possibly doing a sequel to this version, so maybe they will elaborate on it more in a second one. Also, if you loved the music in this one, it was done by the same composer who did the music for Chernobyl. Her name is Hildur guðnadóttir and she is incredible.

The other word (about the TV shows where they embarrass people) might be "prank."

I won't repeat the comment I wrote on the original post, because it's not that important, but I will repeat the end of it, which is that Joaquin Phoenix is also great in Inherent Vice. I will have to think about choosing it at some point.
