JOKER (Matt's Review)

Hello fellow movie fans and comic fans alike...             As I am sure that you are aware that of recent postings over the last few months I have been putting together a set of comic book trade reviews of a certain BATMAN foe that has been around since the second BATMAN titled comic of the late mid nineteen forties. The character of which I am talking about was created by three men Bill Finger (w), Jerry Robinson (A), and Batman (creditor,owner, Robert Kane, better known to comic fans as Bob Kane) was the character seen here 

known as the Joker. Which originally came from the old silent film design wise that starred Conrad Veidt as 

"THE MAN WHO LAUGHS" from nineteen tweny eight. "But Holy Hollywood therapy theracties  gone awry...Batman what's going on here?" as Robin the boy wonder actor Burt Ward would  have phrased it, from the nineteen sixties "BATMAN television series..." we aren't talking about that version of Joker...              We are going  through last year's movie by Warner Bros pictures from director Todd Phillips that stars Robert De Niro and Joaquin Phoenix 

 as the Joker. Joker begins  with Arthur Fleck a man who is trying to bring business to comedy club getting attacked by some street thugs and when comes back to claim his check for the week a coworker shows him his gun and gives it to Arthur to protect himself from said event ever happening again, only to have the club manager mad at him for losing the sign. We come to find out that Arthur is a struggling comedic artist who enterains at a local child hospital and let's his gun fall to the floor in the middle of his act, the hospital sends him off without paying for his services to the children ward and come to find out that the company he works for fires him for breaking the rules of no weapons on your person while at work. We see he resides with his mother while she is  just ill. So all in all he seem to be a humbled man in his every day life, till on a ride home on the subway he defends himself with the gun when business men attack him. He kills them, then starts going to clubs to find new material to add to his notes. 
         When Arthur does break out into laughter he happens to get a lot more hysterical than others watching the proformance do. So much that even he is not understanding where it is coming from. He returns home an finds out that from his mother that he is the son of one Thomas Wayne who happens to be running for mayor of Gotham city. ( This and two other small parts of the story and film are related to BATMAN at all...)                                                                      This film is definitely INCREDIBLE and FASCINATING because while it is giving a background to the most evil foe of Bruce Wayne's rouge gallery that has always been eloquently elusive in the comics. It tackles one of the greatest challenges most all of us as humans don't know how to relate to, or mainly care to choose to put helping the many who are infected with mental illnesses as being needing help from their social workers and caregivers who are needing to study every day because everyone has a different perspective with their given experiences. I am not saying that I have the answers anymore than you who are reading this review of a certain movie that truly tries to make an impression on while society on many ways tries to help those who are suffering from getting wrong medical attentions... and a lot of people don't know how to respond to why those who have those mental disorders can't find help.                                        Why is it society itself doesn't  think that those who are mentally ill are trying to learn how to live lives  just like we who have every day problems are doing too? How can we say that giving up is not easy  enough when we can have hope of helping others people Everywhere with our trust in our hands and hearts  and in our Faithfulness in who we see as our GOD? Yet more than we want to admit our own beliefs at the same time have been a great way of getting to help those who really need it.                                                                                   For a moment try thinking of those who are in mental institutions, and remember this they are not there because they wish to be but because they are broken in the brain and it is impossible to know how to fix one that is suffering from mental health issues. Finally if you know someone who has a mental health illness iusses be with them in spirit!
