Joker (2019): How A Well Placed Billboard Helped Create Cinema History

  • サマリー

  • Ben and Rob get what they deserve for ‘Joker’, Todd Phillips’ 2019 character study smuggled into box-office history under a supervillains cape. Starring Joaquin Phoenix, Robert DeNiro, Zazie Beetz and Frances Conroy, ‘Joker’ tells the story of mentally unwell and financially destitute Arthur Fleck and his journey to become a stand-up comedian; a journey that takes a terrifying wrong turn when Gotham repeatedly turns it back on his suffering. The film lacking an appearance from Batman didn’t stop ‘Joker’ delighting DC Comics fans as deeply as the critics; becoming the first R rated movie to cross the billion dollar mark at the box office.

    But how did this seventies morality tale get green-lit in the first place? What inspired Todd Phillips and Joaquin Phoenix as they concocted this beautifully affecting film? Is this film just ripping off Scorcese’s ‘King Of Comedy’? Does this entire film we it's existence to an advert for Suicide Squad? And if we browse the DSM-5 medical dictionary of mental illness, can we diagnose the Clown Prince Of Crime?

    CONSUUUME to find out all this and much MUCH more!
