I had no expectations going to see this movie. It was hard to watch at times but you cant stop watching. The city itself is in political disarray but that has nothing to do with the struggles of the joker. The jokers only struggle is mental health and his not being able to handle the curves that life throws him. It was hard to watch because the truth it tells. Every day we encounter people who struggle like Arthur and my hope is they conquer the demons before they get the best of them.
