What do you people see here!? Movie promotes violance for solving problems. This is a story of a guy with a mental illness cause of his troubled past. Yes, mentaly ill people shouldn't carry a gun, that's all I can take from this movie. The fact that it is so highly rated scares me that there realy are so many supporters of somone like Joker out there, like in the movie. The last time that happened we had a WW2 on our hands. I addimt Joaquin played the role convincingly. Heath is still my favourite Joker though and with a far better storyline.
I easily understand why people not from this part of Europe don't find this film so amusing. As an outside viewer you don't really get all the secret messages and all the mind processes inside character's head. This film is a perfect and I really mean perfect reflection of an ex- Yugoslavian nation, where everyone kind of loves each other but at the same time stabbing in the back at the first clear opportunity. And also the nostalgia for the "good old days", when everything was so much better, times when we still had our Tito, is still present nowadays. The acting from Vlado Novak was superb. He represents the typical simple-minded worker with a good hart, who just wants to earn respect from his friends, giving everything away until he has something to give and so easily fooled that you can't help but feel sorry for him. So if you're familiar with the Slovenian scene, you should definitely see this one! For others who still want to see something extraordinary from Slovenian cinema I highly recommend: Class Enemy (2013)
