10 Things You Need To Know Before Watching Joker
1. Expect Phoenix To Deliver A Masterclass
Casting Joaquin Phoenix as the Joker might be one of the smartest moves a filmmaker has made in recent years, and there's little reason to believe Phoenix will fail to deliver.
He's one of the biggest, albeit underrated, stars in Hollywood and some of his previous performances have been nothing short of breathtaking.
His breakout role as the vindictive Commodus in Gladiator was nothing short of sublime, while his portrayal of Johnny Cash in Walk the Line was equally stunning. Couple this with superb performances in Her and The Sisters Brothers, and it's hard to imagine Phoenix as being anything but brilliant in Joker.
Phoenix is a man of his own, with his own methods, quirks, and ways of working which should ensure the longtime DC villain is brought to life like never before.
It's not unreasonable to go into seeing the film expecting to see an Oscar-worthy performance. Let's just hope both Phoenix, and the film in general, deliver the goods.
