Introduction
‘The Joker‘ is an American psychological thriller based on the eponymous DC character most recently used in Christopher Nolan’s ‘The Dark Knight’. The film was produced and directed by Todd Phillips, who also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Scott Silver. ‘The Joker’ stars Joaquin Phoenix as the lead character Arthur Fleck.
The film essentially tries to present an origin story of the infamous villain, attempting to show what pushed him over the edge. His background, his mental health, the people in his life, the city he lives in, the events that take place around him. All of these factors play a part in the story Phillips presents.
