This dudes so creepy omg
i went in thinking i was gunna get an anti hero and I didn’t even feel close to that until the last scene and even them it felt like he wasn’t doing it out of empathy or care but because he wamted to be a badass cleaning the streets or whatever
With the dreamy music at the end, I came away with the thought that the ending "bad ass anti hero" scenes were all just in the protagonist's head.
ok that makes me feel better i thought it was supposed to be read straight
i think context helps i just went in blind knowing hes a anti hero of sorts pretty isolated but this was next left uncomfortable
im so disgusted he just killed his first guy and like on what planet is this guy an anti hero fucks sake
i actually empathized with joker alot more and found joker more pitiful while still feeling quiet alienated oof thats a rough take.... i liked joker more than taxi driver people are gunna murder me
it's a movie about alienation and as such does not evoke many positive emotions
yeah I definitely didn’t expect what I got lmao i can appreciate it alot more in retrospect and knowing context a bit better
i was tipsy and was live tweeting it lol om retrospect i get it but damn i was not expecting what i goy
yeah the guy who is gumma blow his wifes head off bc hes getting cucked
It's a cool thematic movie... if you don't like it in the first hour no chance you'll like the second hour of it.
i actually liked the second more because I understood the theme of it, the whole first I was like soo when he says the filth he means minorities poor people and sex workers right? later on i got the alienation piece alot better
You should still watch Synecdoche, New York tho
A fantastic movie about gender being constructed by societal ritual and I think colonialism, I haven't seen it in a while, but it definitely helped me understand that I had some pretty incorrect views on gender when I watched it in highschool.
What about movies with bummer endings? And cringe comedy. I'm not trying to be judgemental, just curious, I didn't really like horror movies for a long time for basically the same reason
One of my favorite movies. I didn’t like it on the first watch either. It’s a really tough watch the first time because of his social awkwardness and his lens of the world as a taxi driver.
To me, he is a villain who descended into madness because of societal alienation.
