Why I took 2 years to watch Joker - 2019 - Joaquin Phoenix

Sir Joaquin Phoenix. One more person shall watch the film you worked and everyone else behind and with you, onscreen.

Consciously, didn't watch this, despite having all the time of my life (2019 in Fiji- year of release). Friends on my timeline, wrote various things, critics went bonkers, Joker lauded the Oscar nominators, OH YES, the Burger photo, by the vegetarian Joaquin saw it more than once and as a tribute to the (yet to watch) film.

#stayingindoor is in my mind, so, now I am in West Bengal. With memories of Fiji, very much fresh, changed continents and countries in last 10 months, changing districts, changing homes, changing jobs and still evolving. Hence, the delay. 

I think, on a serious note Joker (2019) should be the #1 on my list of the  filmathon (on my terms), of sorts. Such films are arsenal for your mind that craves for a good story,  leave a vaccum and fill it up when you want it, just at the right time and place. You genuinely leave that gap (to be filled later on).


 Shall tell you (maybe not), how it was, maybe you don't need to know, nevertheless.  Thankyou and Vinaka Vakalevu
