Marla is an absolute beotch in that film, usually in a romance I would want the female to actually be desirable to some degree. Maybe a Bromance sure.

I would say Joaquin did not do a better Joker than Heath did, even though he was clearly the main character and Heath was on screen for what 33 minutes. Guess more one can pick apart with Joaquin for sure, but still I would say Heath's was better. I think the 1990s could be very impressive with the amount of quality there for this category. I think if Heath would have done a stand-alone/solo film it wouldn't have been as good. That said, Heath is a far better Joker in the world of Gotham. I just can't see Joaquin's Joker going against Batman. So for straight up true Joker, Heath is better imo. Honestly, Joker shouldn't have even been about the Joker. It could have been about anything and they only used the name to sell tickets. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone else predict while watching the movie he was going to shoot the TV shot host on the show? Most of the audience new what was going to happen before the movie ending so that made it a lot less interesting I found. Took the villain being the good guy/ main character/ focal point to an absolute extreme. Maybe the villain should just stay the villain instead of being the absolute main subject matter.

If you think that, you literally didn't understand anything the film showed you, so how can you know what genre it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But based on your comedy choices I guess that makes sense you do not "get it". Now that comment I just made is not a good joke, but you do it constantly. Actually maybe the main love interest in Fight Club is his Ikea furniture, how about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The romance element is him coming to accept (love) himself inspite of himself, a very common theme in the recovery/support group meetings he was visiting, and almost certainly something as a theme that the book's author had a lot of personal experience with. but bring on your great ani-gif / meme response.

Yeah. Does not mean she is not a character in the film, and does not mean she is not a beotch, and so the love interest in that film is not her? Real or make believe, it is still her. Should I even reply to you bully commentary or attempts to spread your wild intellect or not? It is a mystery, because could easily see nothing you ever post ever again and that would be quite pleasant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That fan theory is ridiculous and completely false, she is absolutely real in the movie. Things she says are literally referenced by other characters and the ending blows that theory completely open, there is no way his minions could capture a figment of his imagination and bring it to him. Some people like to try to evaluate things in movies WAY too much. She's real, period. Edited April 8, 2020 by rob_shadows 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's beating people up in the back of the bar, and when he says "who's next" people volunteer to beat themselves up? yeh, ok. Everything is seen through the lens of what he is experiencing or imagining. It's the whole point of having ... wait for it.... a narrator. The fact they even introduce the scene EXPLAINING the whole point of splice transitions.... Besides what I just said, I would suggest you STRONGLY revisit dialogue in the film Edited April 8, 2020 by SlevinKelevra Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
