Joker; no spoilers I promise
I just have thoughts:
1. Isnât the charity/foundation for children born with clefts called Smile?
2. Joaquin Phoenixâs prominent facial scar is a mild cleft (alleged but not confirmed)
3. Joaquin Phoenix plays Arthur Fleck aka the Joker with a quote (from the trailer) :
âShe always tells me to Smile, and put on a happy face.â
4. I mean... perfect casting huh, donât you think? Might have been subliminal or Iâm just connecting dots that arenât really there but heyâJoker 2019 with Joaquin Phoenix is a true masterpiece of film from beginning to end.
