I found it refreshing to see a movie built specifically around Joker without the backdrop of Batman looming overhead. There have been some remarkable interpretations of Joker in the past but I don't think that the viewer has been given the opportunity to really dive into the villain and what makes him who he has become. It was nice to see a film maker give the audience permission to root for someone who wasn't the traditional hero, but a "hero" in his own rite, depending on your point of view and interpretation.

I do think that there were parts of the movie that were lacking development. But I think that can be said about just about any movie you can find. All in all, worth a watch. I'm not sure if I will watch again. Time will tell.

This is one of those books, a bit like Kent Haruf's books, in which not a lot happens. There is no full stop. I expected the full stop to be at the end but nope none there either. The author is very clever in how he manages to switch from one subject to the next without using a full stop. It is simply a man narrating his life. Not an original idea for a plot but well executed. There isn't really a big event until the end of the novel. You come to root for this man, ordinary and unremarkable as he is. Although i could see the ending coming i found it devastating. My only criticism was that it kept going after the 'big' ending but I suppose that's part of the writing style.
