All I got was a mediocre Scorsese homage.


I've worked with and around the mentally ill as well. It's a miracle this movie didn't do more harm than good. Phoenix was a joke... but not the Joker. To each their own, I'm glad you liked it. For me, and a lot of people in my social circles, it really didn't impress us at all. Especially not 11 Oscar nods. Sadly, little Leaf Phoenix can't do any wrong in the eyes of the Hollywood elite.

Your opinions make me sad, it seems like the movie angered you for some reason. I hope one day you can enjoy it.
