A boy is abused, gets hit on the head, is institutionalized and has a daydream.

Raises the bar for acting with this character. A good movie, but definitely not traditional. Riveting without a particularly obvious thread. It could have been a whole lot better, but it would have needed to delve into the true and far darker roots of the main character; his mother, and you can’t do that because she’s a woman.

After watching this movie I just realized I didn’t see the earlier one. Whoops.

• 0:45 — I don’t know how authentic it is to have someone with a costume and a sign on the streets back in the 1980s. Perhaps this is a cultural thing from that country (the United States) or that city (is that New York City or something?)

  • 10:45 — .. no, they’re calling it Gothem City.
• 7:45 — I should probably transcribe the contents of his card.
• 32:15 — He should take his wallet. Also the other guys’ back on the subway.
• 34:00 — Post-murder tai-chi.
• 59:15 — I still wonder if Joker would kill Bruce’s parents.
• ~ — Earlier, I should have mentioned Stand-up comedy
• 1:00:00 — Oh my, this is a commentary on Hillary Clinton‘s “deplorables” statement.
• 1:01:45 — I can’t recall that movie offhand, but boy was that roller skating impressive to me when I first saw it.
• 1:11:00 — Running out of an asylum like that would be a challenge wouldn’t it?
• 1:19:00 — Tragedy / Comedy is an ancient Greek concept and a play on our idea of “Tragedy versus Humor”.

• 1:40:00 — Oh my, so this is the heart of why this movie got the attention it did.

  • Also, he goes all gay lispy.
• 1:49:45 — And so I witness the bar being raised for cinema.
• 1:50:00 — That woman should have instead been Harley Quinn.
• 1:51:00 — So all that time he never got out of the institution?

• .. woman dies off-screen

I also didn’t note his mother dying off-screen.
