It's not often that I come out of the theater in a trance. The last time I remember was when I saw The Green Mile. This was one such 'trance' event.
Joaquin Phoenix has taken the art of acting to another level. Even when he runs, it's the authentic Joker way of running. And boy, when he laughs, does he give you the creep.
If you were to categorize this movie, it's easy to slot it into an 'against all odds' kind of a movie, but the message and sub text runs very deep. It is the story of every marginalized person in our society. The Joker only amplifies what they all feel. And amplifies it brilliantly.
If Joaquin doesn't get the Oscar for this performance, I'm going to wear a skirt for one full day!
