how is it a homage? It replicates many scenes from taxi driver and king of comedy. Todd Phillips even stated so.
The Quest has way better production value, directing (well..) and acting (compared to the older ones).
And gay! Its bloody brilliant and a hilarous kick at Varg.
I think its more important to point out the absolute dominance the babymooers have had and still has on culture. They are the biggest generation and the last generation that become richer then their parents and as such dominates the market.
very little actual racing for a racing film and horrible acting!
In a world saturated by instagram and superficiality Joker gave a lot of shallow people a chance to feel deep, I guess? Define art house as you want.
Its not that good really. It did hit a nerve i guess. In a world saturated by instagram and superficiality Joker gave a lot of shallow people a chance to feel deep, I guess? Great acting from Phoenix though. And the camera is pristine. But I find the movie to be extremely derivative. A poor mans king of comedy with a hint of Taxi Driver.
Art house is; "a cinema which specializes in showing films that are artistic or experimental rather than merely entertaining."
Could you please enlighten me whats art house about a blockbuster hollywood super hero movie? Joker is in no way artistic. It is a homage to the styles of the new wave in hollywood in the late 60s early 70s. Its most certainly not experimental.
Just because it is slow, and copies the artistic camera use of Daren Aronofsky's photographer and the set design of Taxi Dricer and Kings of Comedy. Dosnt make it art house.
If you really want to watch art house, watch art house. If that is your thing. Just dont do it if you just want to feel smart. That would be as superficial as the Joker movie is.
Joker is most certanly not arthouse. What is arthouse about it? Its a poor mans intellectual super hero block buster.
Why the need to seem intellectual?
Yeah, it was not the lack of batman. The movie is just not veery interesting. An unnecessary homage to taxi driver and king of comedy. Shallow trite.
You swedes sure are a crazy bunch!
he's a 10 year old kid who lost his mom and ar all alone. He lies so he doesnt loose here to. He is after all 10.
I'm dyslexic and have no problem reading subtitles while watching a movie. In the whole of Scandinavia texting foreign movies are quite normal.
I have no idea why these two have such a big trouble reading few lines whilst following the action.
