What do you think, guys?
- Have you seen this movie? Did you like it? Why (not)?
- In your opinion what is the main idea of this movie?
- Are you happy for Joaquin Phoenix? Do you think he deserves this prize?
As for me, I've seen this film 3 times! And I would like to watch it again and again because Joaquin Phoenix's performance is brilliant, amazing and fascinating! It seems to me that I'll never get tired of watching this breathtaking (захватывающий дух) transformation which starts from inside and makes Arthur Fleck unrecognizable (неузнаваемый). Consequently, I am very happy for Joaquin Phoenix! This is his first Oscar and, hopefully, not the only one :)
Looking forward to your comments!
