Finally watched this movie.


Every person that was killed deserved it. Phoenix played a very sympathetic character. The whole movie had a "Taxi Driver" vibe to it.

Solid 7.5.

Put BuckSwope in a Prison or Mental Institution

reply

Why? Joker killed some assholes. No fucks given here.

reply

arrest Buckswope

reply

3 wall street pricks who were stomping him while he was on the ground. That can kill a person. No fucks given. His crazy abusive mother. No fucks given. A talk show hosts who publicly mocked him then invited him on the show to mock him some more. Again, no fucks given. Did I miss somebody?

THAT DUDE IN HIS APARTMENT,THEN HE LETS THE MIDGET GO.

reply

That dude was a dick as well. He let the midget go because the midget was a good guy. Joker didn't kill for the thrill of killing.

Did he kill that doctor? that was talking to him in the hospital at the end? He did have bloody shoes. If so she didn't deserve it.

reply

HE GOT HIM FIRED FOR BEING A NARC AND TELLING ABOUT THE GUN...THE MIDGET RELEASE PART WAS AWESOME.

reply

Yep...I edited my above message...

reply

Yeah Him he is a Psycho he deserves to die

reply

MAYBE...BUT THAT DIDNT HAPPEN IN THE FILM.

reply

So I guess James Holmes,Timothy McVeigh Eric Harris and Dylan Klebold are heroes to you

reply

WTF is wrong with you?

reply

WTF is wrong with your praising Arthur the Psycho

reply

His victims deserved to die. No praise. Don't put praise in my mouth you sick fuck.

reply

Joker deserves to die like the crazies I listed he is not victim he is a monster

reply

I think you need a safe place you pussy.

reply

reply

reply

reply

BETTER THAN WHAT I WAS GONNA PUT IN YOUR MOUTH.

11) Sailor's Porthole

reply

agree, one obnoxious lunatic woman

reply

Here is Tom showing his misogyny again by calling me a "woman" as if that is an insult.

reply

Calling you out again.

Calling me a "woman" as an insult.

reply

tom8 thinks women are beneath men.

reply

THATS FAIR...WHILE I DIDNT LIKE IT VERY MUCH,IT WAS WELL MADE AND ANCHORED BY A SOLID PERFORMANCE.

reply

Nothing ground-breaking but solid movie. I have no problem with him winning best actor.

He has kind of a gross body, though.

reply

AGAIN I AGREE..WE SEEM TO BE PRETTY CLOSE IN OPINION ON JOKER.

reply

JOKER AND THE MACHINIST SHOULD KISS FIGHT FOR A SANDWICH.

reply

LOL.

reply

Of course, you are the same poster

reply

HELLO CUTIE.

reply

They did a very good job of showing him to be a sweet person with good intentions for finally went crazy.

Taxi Driver is the opposite.

Taxi Driver isn't the same movie. The character in that was a perverted social misfit weirdo. He wanted to kill someone to be "famous" and it had nothing to do with being emotionally crushed.

reply

You're right, but the two movies both had a man on the fringes of society that snapped. Both characters(to me) were sympathetic and both killed people that, IMO, had it coming. Of course there are differences, but the similarities are there as well. Plus they were both set in N.Y.(although of course one was called Gotham).

Again, I'm not disagreeing with what you wrote.

reply

Yeah, there have been others films like that but people were saying it was a copy of Taxi Driver and it's not. I saw Taxi once and remember it very well. It was a totally different type of character and comment on society.

reply

Agreed. I had no idea the comparison was a common one.

reply

Yes.

It's dumb and insulting.

If they actually saw Taxi Driver, they didn't know what they were watching.

reply

LOL.

reply

On a side-note, I find satisfaction when I find common ground with someone I have disagreed with in the past. When it comes down to it, we as humans have much more in common than we don't. CHEERS.

reply

Sure, that's a wonderful thing.

reply

When a gay person comes to you, do you tell them they are wrong in thinking that they want to have sex with a person that is of the same sex?

reply

Do you tell them you can't wait to?

reply

Absolutely!

reply

Well bottom out your Friday, Hombre!

reply

Yee Haw!!!!!!!

reply

You are one sick individual. lBut then there are people who identify with the maniac in this film. Lot's of mental illness out there.

reply

I have to admit, after seeing how thin Joker was and then watching his preparation for the Murray show, I really expected him to start saying "you talking to me"?

reply

its more king of comedy than anything else

reply

Interesting... I don't think his clown colleague deserved to die. Didn't seem to have done anyting warrenting such a response... Neither did the TV guy for making fun of a recorded standup bit (that comes with the territory of being on stage in comedy; half the podcasts online are about this)...

I don't think the psychaiatrist at the end deserved to die either... she was only interviewing him...

I think if you look at the movie, not from the unreliable perspective of the psycho protagonist, then arthur cuts a more pitiful character than sympathetic...
