Groucho Marxist

This edit masterfully takes all the most compelling pieces of Joker and combines them in such a way that the true soul of the film shines through.

Sandwiched between a pitch perfect Groucho Marx clip and Karl Marx’s eternal rallying cry to the working class, Groucho Marxist (what a title) is everything Joker should have been; a powerful exploration of class warfare.

Just had a chance to watch this and I was positively blown away. I was very impressed with Joker, but this tightened version is a knockout. All the best moments are here, but the streamlining and focus manage to improve an Oscar-winning performance and even sharpen the message. This is some achievement, Can't recommend it enough.

I was not a fan at all of the original theatrical version. But I thought I'd go ahead and give this cut a try... And boy am I glad I did!
Loved it!

Simply amazing. Brilliant editing. All the other reviewers have pretty much summed up basically what I thought as well. I was honestly so surprised and blown away with how well it works with most stuff taken out in the original and overall its just brilliant.

Allow me to preface with the fact that I love the original. I wouldn't want them to have delivered The Joker in any other way.... at least at the time of initial viewing. I was mostly drawn to this one because the title is hilarious.

That being said - this is absolutely a worthwhile watch and it is amazing how you can encapsulate the feeling of the entire film in 45 minutes without feeling like anything was lost. Kudos for having the vision, because as stated I watched The Joker and didn't notice anything I would have done differently.

I think most of these fan fixes take movies that are objectively bad because of the addition of certain storylines that never affect the movie in any one way or another and essentially they are removing fluff to realign the movie and 9 times out of 10 the only way to make a bad movie less bad is to take some of the bad out. Usually a fan fix of a good movie improves it by adding in deleted scenes and shifting the narrative in a way that keeps the deleted scenes from feeling out of place.

This takes a good movie, removes good scenes, and somehow makes it better (or at the very least as good). Wild!
