Joker - I'm not sure I've ever seen a movie pretend so hard to be "cinema". The comparisons to The King of Comedy and Taxi Driver are obvious but the writing is also film school level. "I thought my life was a tragedy, but it turns out it's a comedy." And why the Garry Glitter song? What does it symbolize other than "check it out. We put a pedo's hit song in the film"?

There are some themes of classism and how the dregs of society are largely ignored unless they're entertaining to gawk at. I think the movie would be a hell of a lot more interesting if he was actually a really good comedian on the stage but troubled in real life but that would make it even more of a King of Comedy wannabe. I really didn't like this movie, but the idea of the sequel being a musical is at least intriguing. Maybe they'll rip off Norman Jewison or Bob Fosse this time.
