Nobody without a mental illness can ever understand how close the film is to reality!
The highlight of the film is undoubtedly Joaquin Phoenix, who delivers one of his best performances. He manages to condense Arthur's entire suffering into a single laugh. Comparisons were often drawn to "Taxi Driver" and "The King of Comedy", which are undoubtedly clearly present, but have never been used too intrusively for me, but fit harmoniously into this series of concentrated images and quiet scenes.…
This review is about the entire trilogy
I have long thought whether, and if so, how to begin a review about „The Lord of the Rings“. Because there is probably no story that means more to me and where it is so difficult for me to be objective.
I actually came across the story quite late, in 2012. I saw “The Hobbit” and even though, in retrospect, “An Unexpected Journey” doesn’t come close to “The Lord of the Rings” in…
I'm not a particularly patient person. I would have killed myself before even cutting out the first figure. What an incredible piece of Art!
This movie is entertaining from beginning to end. Clever script, nice camera work, amusing actors. A nice piece of good old filmmaking, which at the same time catapults the crime genre into modern times.
I really wish the first half had been better. The music was inappropriate at times, the changes between locations and characters exhausting, there was too much pathos and too little substance. I didn't think I'd give it more than four stars. But the second half convinced me. The pathos turned into epicness and thrilled me into saying I want to see a sequel. The Snyder Cut doesn't make the mistakes of the theatrical version, makes a few new ones, but clearly remains the more satisfying version.
