Holy shit. Didn’t realize this has a Scorsese/DeNiro connection to the brilliant ‘King of comedy’ from the 80s. Wow


I think I can even see a little ‘Taxi Driver’ mixed in.

Washington Post:
Movie seems to be less comic book and more early Scorsese

https://www.washingtonpost.com/ampht...arly-scorsese/

Phillips and Phoenix are delivering a true character study — a stand-alone comic-book movie that looks more like a gritty Martin Scorsese portrait of a cackling outcast as he begins to crack up on the city’s mean streets.

This seems to be the stuff of pre-“Casino” Robert De Niro, who fittingly happens to co-star in “Joker.”

This is the textured take of a searching loser coming apart on the urban fringes — a wannabe stand-up celebrity who seems to share cinematic DNA with two iconic Scorsese/De Niro creations: Travis Bickle (“Taxi Driver”) and Rupert Pupkin (“The King of Comedy”).

eh, can't say the trailer did much for me. To be honest, looks a little boring. Guess we will see.

I noticed some here are comparing it to Scorsese flicks. That might explain why the trailer didn't really appeal to me. Never been a fan of his style.

Scorsese? You don't like...Scorsese? Goodfellas? Gangs of New York? Taxi Driver? The Departed? Wolf of Wall Street? Quiz Show? Casino? I'm not sure there's anyone I'm more fond of. The guy can take an average story and make an epic masterpiece out of it.

Backstory-based movies like The Joker have so much potential and this guy can masterfully develop every last part.

Good grief.

You know, out of all those movies, the only one I kind of liked was Gangs of New York. But I've had no desire to go back and watch it again.

Your feelings toward Scorsese are akin to finding out that Phillip Gaines was your favorite player when he was on the Chiefs. It’s just not going to easily compute for many people here.

You're making me hate James Bond, . . .

I haven't loved every single Scorsese movie. He often delves into subjects that aren't high on my personal interest list. But I've respected every single one, most more than other movies I 'enjoyed' more.

Tell me you at least appreciate the craft.

I go to a movie to be entertained not depressed. I get that many of you love those movies and thats great. I can appreciate that you enjoy the subject matter that he puts out. You have to remember, not everyone is the same and what speaks to you doesn't always speak to others.

I've never really felt entertained when watching his movies. If that diminishes me in peoples eyes, well, ok then. I'm over it.

I was just ya. I don't really care. Whatever floats your boat is okay with me. Movies are very. very subjective.
