Joker took influence from a few films. Although it is essentially a modern telling of Taxi Driver, it takes a broader approach, which I appreciated.

Personally, I thought Phoenix's performance was outstanding, and the updated take on mental illness and misanthropy was effective, IMO.

Plus, the climactic scene on the talk show is one of my favorite in cinema.

And The Social Network was as good as Citizen Kane.
