As in the DeNiro movie Taxi Driver. Just watched it for the first time, and holy fuck it blew me away. Is nearly identical to The Joker, too.

Its the same exact movie. Blew my mind.

reminded me more of King of Comedy, but the ending reminded me of Taxi Driver (not the ending ending, though).

Both feature an antihero who kinda despise everyday living and want some random tragedies to troll society.
But both are executed entirely different.

Yeah remember when the Joker felt bad for an underage hooker and shot a bunch of guys at the end to save her?

Yeah it emulated or ripped off several films, but I still found it highly watchable. Phoenix's performance alone made it all the more compelling. It wasn't a Best Picture type of movie to me, but I could watch it any day of the week. Even as someone with mental issues, I thought they used mental health pretty well and didn't make anyone look bad for needing help and medication.

I do agree about Phoenixs performance. He did a killer job.

In the grand scheme of all movies, it's pretty derivative, but it's cool to see superhero movies explore different genres and styles.

Taxi Driver is the more lauded of the two. Travis comes across misguided and lonely, which we can relate to. Rupert is something we wish we couldnt relate to
