Good on you Ad!! Your a legend and you’ll do this on your ear 👂 🥰

Just Finished My Monthly Viewing of Joker (2019): A Few Assorted Thoughts Alright, so I just wrapped up my *monthly* viewing of *Joker* (2019), and, as always, my mind is racing with thoughts. Bear with me because this isn’t just a movie—it’s a cultural turning point, and I can’t believe more people don’t see it. First of all, let’s just get this out of the way: *Joker (2019)* is no mere film. It’s a **mission statement**. It’s a mirror held up to our so-called “society” (a word I’ll return to later), exposing the rot and decay beneath the surface. Todd Phillips didn’t just direct this; he **unleashed** it. This is the kind of cinema we NEED, and frankly, I’m tired of people not taking it seriously. Arthur Fleck isn’t just a character. He’s *us*. He’s a tragic prophet for our modern age, a walking embodiment of what happens when “society” chews you up and spits you out. People love to dismiss his journey as dangerous or glorifying violence, but they completely miss the point. Humanity will never be truly free unless we learn the lesson of Arthur Fleck: that **our world thrives on cruelty and exclusion, and only by tearing it down can we rebuild something better.** And let’s talk about THAT laugh. It’s not just a laugh. It’s the sound of a man suffocating under the weight of societal expectations. It’s raw, unfiltered truth. It’s humanity gasping for air. I have goosebumps every time I hear it because it reminds me of the times I’ve been silenced for *telling it like it is*. The subway scene? MASTERPIECE. It’s the ultimate indictment of how we treat those we deem *lesser*. You look at that scene, and it’s not just a guy defending himself—it’s a **declaration of war** against “polite” society. That moment when he stands above the chaos and smears the blood on his lips? Chilling. Beautiful. Iconic. People don’t understand the depths this film goes to because they don’t want to. They’re too busy scrolling through TikTok or worshipping their Marvel overlords to engage with something *real.* But *Joker* dares to ask the hard questions: *What is justice? What is happiness? Why do we tolerate a world that chews people up and spits them out?* It doesn’t give us easy answers because life doesn’t HAVE easy answers. And before anyone comes at me with the tired “it’s just a Scorsese rip-off” argument: do you know how embarrassing it is to miss the point THAT badly? Sure, Phillips borrows from *Taxi Driver* and *The King of Comedy*, but *Joker* transcends them. It takes those ideas and injects them with raw, visceral, postmodern rage. In conclusion, if you don’t think *Joker* (2019) is a cinematic masterpiece, you’re either too blind to see it or too scared to admit it. This movie isn’t for everyone—it’s for those of us who are awake. Those of us who see through the lies. We live in a society, and *Joker* is the wake-up call we didn’t know we needed. Anyway, I’ll be back next month for another watch. Until then, stay vigilant, my fellow thinkers. Let’s keep questioning the system. *Edit:* I didn’t expect this to blow up. To all the haters in the comments, maybe try watching the film with your brain on next time? Just a suggestion.
