Lose a ton of weight, be in every scene, and let your inner demons out for all to see will generally get you a figurine in tinsel towne. Phoenix will be on the list despite the utter mess the film is which is Joker being seriously crazy. Sure, Phoenix does a great job but it is tough to watch non-stop.Being an old fogey, I'm not sure I would recommend this picture especially to millennials on down. Anyone programmed to believe society is out to get them may have a hero to emulate.
Joker is smoking in 95% of his scenes which I found hard to take. I've also noticed in other films and on cable that smoking has been on the rise. I guess Big Baccky is fighting hard to enslave the next generation. Tired of it. (Suprise, I've never smoked.)
