The Awards
Joker has received more than 1 billion dollars worldwide. It has become the first R movie to compete in the box office. Robert De Niro, Zazie Beetz, Frances Conroy, Brett Cullen, Bill Camp, Shea Whigham, and Marc Maron are also stars of this movie. They’re the stars of this show!
“Joker is either a social commentary in terms of homelessness or mental illness. A modern enigmatic twist on the best known DC comic books character. Just another memorable movie to which Martin Scorsese connected. It’s a matter that you will have to take care of and even then, you may not yet be sure that you are not.
