Ridley Scott was impressed by Joaquin Phoenix in JOKER, but didn’t care for the violence

If you like the director Todd Phillips’ Joker or not, you can’t deny it Joaquin Phoenix he delivered an incredible performance. Phoenix was fantastic in the film and during a recent interview with Ridley Scotthe was asked what he thought of the film.

Although he criticized the film for the way it celebrated violence, he loved Phoenix’s performance in the film. He told Deadline:

“I was blown away by his scandalous film Joker. I didn’t like the way he celebrated violence, but Joaquin was extraordinary.”

He continued to talk about why he chose Pheonix Napoleonsaying, “I thought this would be an amazing resource for Napoleon, [not only creatively], even in a commercial sense. There were only two actors I had in mind for the role. I won’t mention the other one.” He added: “I’m staring at Joaquin and saying, ‘This little demon is Napoleon Bonaparte.’ He looks like him.”

I’d be curious to know who the other actor was in case Phoenix doesn’t take the role.

As for Scott’s opinion on the film’s violence, perhaps he didn’t care about the way the film made the audience sympathize with such an evil and violent character and how, through a series of unfortunate tragic events, he is motivated to unleash its terror and violence. against the world. Because Scott has no problem with the violence he puts in his films. What do you think?
