‘JOKER’ Todd Philips
This movie is about a lonely guy that takes care of his mom and sees and chance for fame and takes it. Being a thriller there was a lot of violence and enough to rate the movie R. The opening scene starts out violent setting the tone for the rest of the film. There were a lot of movies referenced during this film giving a comedic tone to an older audience. The main chapter is very monotone and mature, which wouldn’t make much sense to a younger audience. Everything in the opening scene is meant to be “unsettling” says the director. Theres a dark grim tone which sets the tone for the rest of the film.
