        I mean no offense to the previous poster but I feel like it was fine. A lot of people talked about Joaquin Phoenix being amazing but I felt like they just haven’t seen his amazing performances haha.

        That’s fair, I’d argue that a viewer being able to closely relate to the protagonist or a character in the film is what changes their view of the film.

        For example, I’ve heard a lot of people love the Black Panther movie and the antagonist. I personally never liked the movie, nor relate to the movie at all, but I can understand someone relating to being an oppressed minority in American urban cities and the desire to rise up.

      I didn’t relate to anyone in the movie (that I can remember) and I still loved it.

      I really enjoyed it because of the immersion. I just thought it was good story telling and excellent acting.

      I didn’t really take the movie to have any deeper meaning. To me it was the telling of one version of the joker’s origin story, one that is more grounded and realistic.
