An extremely dangerous “origin”

It's an incredibly dangerous movie. It can be said to be a rare and controversial work.

This is a standalone original film that depicts the secret story of the birth of Batman's nemesis, the Joker. " The Master " (2012) and " Her " will take on the role of strong villains previously played by Jack Nicholson, Heath Ledger, and Jared Leto. (13), " You Were Never Really Here " (17), etc., Joaquin Phoenix shows amazing acting as if he had been given a new role in each work. The great actor Robert De Niro plays the most important role.

The director and screenwriter is Todd Phillips, who also directed the blockbuster comedy `` The Hangover! '' series (2009-13). A complete change from his previous works, the film is filled with sad madness and half-baked pain that will dig into the hearts of the viewers.

“Joker” is set in the early 1980s. In the fictional town of Gotham City, the gap between rich and poor is widening, and people's hearts are in turmoil. In such an era, Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), who dreams of becoming a comedian and wants to make others laugh, is tormented by many unreasonable things and gradually becomes insane...

This work explores the Joker's origin, which has not been discussed in depth in previous video works, by incorporating bold interpretations and new elements.
