This movie is more than just a look at society and the influence of the wealthy on the lower class. This is a great artistic rendering of a character from a comic series. This shows the true darkness of the joker and what has driven his insanity in all of the Batman movies/comics. While this is just one interpretation of the origins of the Joker I would say that it is the most important origin story in film to date. This doesn't focus on the typical good guy vs evil trope that is prevalent in most comic book adaptations in current film. It focuses on the psychological aspect of the character himself rather than the message that he tries to send in other adaptation. Which is an important aspect to his character that isn't often truly focused on. Most other movies just focus on his insanity rather than where it comes from. He is utter chaos because that's how he sees the world.
