Review of Joker

I saw "Joker" and I must say, that this film will be talked about and referred to forever. Although the Joker character is linked to the Batman series, it is a stand alone story of a character inflicted with some kind of tourett's disorder affliction that leads him to strike back at society that has tortured him.
      Joaquin Phoenix gives a performance that should win 10 Oscars. Rarely do you see an actor play such a extreme character and take it to it's limit. Joaquin Phoenix is in a class all by himself. I will include Christian Bale in that class.
        On the other hand, I was disappointed in Robert De Niro. Although this is the same person that starred in "Raging Bull, "Taxi Driver" and "Godfather II, it is not the same actor. It is a shame to watch him" pick up a check".
