NIGHT FILM MARATHON - NOC JOKEROW (THE NIGHT OF JOKERS)
SUICIDE SQUAD
Recommended. The rubbish trailer wasn't quite inviting but the movie's quite a ride. Marvelous CGIs (pun intended), fun soundtrack of a wide scope of artists (Kanye West, Rolling Stones, Eminem, Black Sabbath etc.). Punk-like Joker by Jared Leto who perfected tormented heroes already in his debut "Requiem for a Dream". The Joker's girlfriend Harley Quinn, by smoking hot Margot Robbie, is a sassy acrobat reminiscent of Pris from "Blade Runner". She also utters the best lines, like the one about metahumans being unable to live regular lives. Enchantress resembles the phantom from "Grudge", at least before her two metamorphoses. Amanda Waller must have been inspired by Condoleezza Rice in her looks, position and stance. The Joker and Harley Quinn steal the show. Their love affair made me remember all the real life women falling for death row convicts. Don't miss the much revealing sequel-announcing scene after the first end credits!
THE DARK KNIGHT
Watchable. A smart script but some scenes protracted or needless. On the other hand a handful shocked me. Here we get a scruffy Joker by memorable superb Heath Ledger: a combination of madman gestures with a psychopath mind. The main topic of the film is chaos versus plan: how you see the world and how you perceive people's reactions to unusual events determines how you act - so, do you plan?
BATMAN (1989)
Watchable. The worst film of the night. Only interesting for comparison reasons. The Joker here is grotesque in his old-fashioned-cut purple suit. The film looks like SF from the 60s - artificial, forced and conventional.
Uncomfortable seats in the Zlote Tarasy Multikino screen 1, especially the new ones in the middle. And annother delay from the beginning of the marathon. They should have been letting people in through both entrances right away.
