Try all kinds of hardships and become the best actor! Joaquin Phoenix won the Oscar for best actor

The 92nd Academy Awards were presented at a ceremony in Hollywood, Los Angeles, United States. Joaquin Phoenix won best actor for Joker, becoming the second actor to win an Oscar for his role as the Joker. In his speech, he thanked his brother, Rifan Phoenix, who died young. "When my brother was 17, he wrote these lyrics, 'Help with love, peace with company.'" (Run to the rescue with love and peace will follow.)

Joker, a crime drama directed by Todd Phillips and starring Joaquin Phoenix, Shaki Baez, Robert De Niro, Frances Conroy and Brett Cullen, premiered in the main competition section of the Venice Film Festival on August 31, 2019.

Joker is set in the 1980s and tells the origin story of clowns. The film was developed independently by Warner and DC and is not related to the current DC Extended Universe.

The film opened in the US on October 4, 2019, and immediately topped the North American box office with $96.2 million, the biggest October opening in North American history. As of November 8, 2019, Joker will have grossed more than $957 million worldwide, making it the most profitable comic book film of all time.

In addition to Parasite, the most noteworthy films are Joaquin Phoenix, who won the best actor award for the first time, and Joker.

The Joker is an American DC villain. It is Batman's arch-rival.

Unlike most characters in the comics, the Joker has no superpowers and is basically an ordinary person.

The Joker from The Dark Knight

He has green hair, white skin, red lips, purple clothes, and his signature, creepy smile.

He is moody, unpredictable, acts close to madness, and will do anything to get what he wants.

The strangest thing about his behavior is that it's not about money, or power, or sex.

He destroyed for destruction's sake, murdered for murder's sake, and created fear for fear's sake.

The Joker from The Dark Knight

Some say he is mentally ill, some say he is an anarchist.....

In short, he is number one on the US media's Top 100 Villains list and IGN's greatest villain of all time.

It's no secret that every superhero has a "prequel" that tells us where he came from, where he's going, how he got his powers, his ideals, his loves, his adventures and struggles.

This prequel, however, never belongs to the villain.

Yeah, who's interested in learning about the bad guy's ideals? Feelings? Love?

Isn't the point of the villain to be defeated by the hero and humiliated by the audience?

We seldom think about it: there are no absolutely bad people, and there are no absolutely good people.

However, this "clown" is just a poor comedian, we can not imagine how an ordinary person under the pressure of living society step by step into the dark abyss of humanity.

This kind of intention is not comparable to ordinary superhero movies.

It is also rated for "bloody violence and indecent acts, sexually suggestive scenes" and is rated: R, under 17 must be accompanied by a guardian.

There are two key factors to the film's success:

Script: Is the clown transformation design real? Is it convincing? Can it elicit sympathy from the audience?

The actor: The complexity of the Joker role is beyond the reach of your average Hollywood star, but they need real top talent.

Judging from the two super-long trailers, the overall plot and details are well executed and may well go down in history.

Even, as early as a few months ago, some netizens asserted that the absolute force is the work of God.

The film is full of emotion, both realistic criticism and romantic sadness.

Joaquin Phoenix's amazing acting, breathtaking aura, and tear-jerking expressiveness can be felt throughout the movie.

Joaquin Phoenix is said to have lost 47 kilograms to restore his joker's thin face.

In the trailer, we see Arthur suffering from poverty and mental illness, leaving him as thin as a bone.

But Joaquin Phoenix didn't think it was something worth reporting. He told the press:

I just worked my way into the role and did what I thought was honest, that's all. You can interpret it however you want.

The Joker, after all, was played by the great Jack Nicholson and the untimely Heath Ledger.

Heath Ledger's performance as the Joker in Batman: The Dark Knight has been hailed as "an unparalleled performance".

Even so, by all appearances, Joaquin Phoenix's performance is likely to be equal to Heath Ledger's as two of the classic Joker characters.

Heath Ledger The Joker

Joaquin Phoenix The Joker

In the 1980s, Gotham, USA, lived a kind man in the slums: Arthur.

His dream was to be a comedian, but his hard life forced him to face the reality.

Arthur's reality was that he had to take care of his sick mother while earning a living. At the same time, he was worried about psychosis that ran in his family.

On the other hand, the interpersonal relationship in this city is becoming more and more indifferent, and the people at the bottom exclude, discriminate and hurt each other.

Despite the disappointments of his life, he always remembered his mother's instruction: Smile and bring joy to the world.

But that's the way the world is.

Sometimes your kindness and enthusiasm will be unkind, your optimism will be regarded as no self-knowledge, your dream will be regarded as the object of ridicule behind.

If a kind person can't get what belongs to himself, is this person's fault or the fault of the society?

Arthur's heart, in a little bit of mutation, gradually black, slowly twisted.

In the depths of his heart, the pain and despair became absurd and playful, and he suddenly felt that the existence of the world was a joke.

We often say that too much can reverse. I think you all know what that means.

That is, when things go to extremes, they go in the opposite direction.

When the pain reaches its peak and passes the edge of despair, you don't care or expect anything in the world.

Arthur said: I used to think that my life was a tragedy, now, I suddenly realize that it is a comedy.

It is not uncommon for the story of an ordinary little person to end up distorted, mutated and blackened by reality, because society is unfair, because fate is uncertain.

Finally, an optimistic man turns into a murderous psychopath.

Arthur finds himself free from moral and rational constraints.

As IGN reviewed Joker: The film raises uncomfortable questions about a cruel society, and offers no easy answers.

The film, called Joker, seems to have been born at the right time. Its story is a story of the 1980s, but it is also a prophecy of the present.

It was like a scene out of a movie: the demonstrators' signs read "Everyone can be a clown."

Returning to the Academy Awards, Phoenix lived up to expectations, winning the best Actor Oscar for his role in Joker. This acceptance speech is as impressive as his acting.

"Movies have given me the most wonderful life," he said. "Without them, I am nothing.

And I think the greatest gift it's given me, or everyone here, is the opportunity to speak up for the voiceless.

I've been thinking about some of the serious problems facing humanity as a whole, and while everyone seems to be focusing on different issues, I see some commonalities.

Whether it's gender equality, racism, gay issues, indigenous people, or animal rights, it's all about injustice, it's all about fighting the idea that one country, one people, one race, one gender, one species has the right to dominate, control, exploit another.

This is also the focus of the film "Joker".

I think we've seriously lost touch with the natural world, and what many of us are guilty of is the egocentric view of the human world that says we're the center of the universe.

We have invaded nature and plundered natural resources.

We think we have the right to inseminate a cow, and when she gives birth, we steal her baby, even if she cries, and then we take her milk and put it in coffee or cereal.

I think we fear the idea of 'personal change' because we fear sacrificing or giving up something.

But humans, when we put our best foot forward, are so creative and ingenious.

I believe that when we use love and compassion as our guiding principles, we can create, develop and build a whole new system that will benefit all living beings and the Earth's environment.

At the end of his acceptance speech, Joaquin Phoenix choked up and ended with a quote from his late brother urging mankind to change and live in harmony with nature.

"When he was 17 years old, my brother wrote these lyrics: Run to help with love and peace will come. (Run to the rescue with love, and peace will follow.)"
