Gladiator (2000), Napoleon (2023) trailer, Joker: Folie a Deux (2024) trailer, Joaquin Phoenix face review

ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED ON 01 SEPTEMBER 2023:  I don't know much about Joaquin Phoenix and his movies, except Gladiator.  Joaquin Phoenix was so good that my mother was creeped out by him during the movie.

That was year 2000.  Fast forward 23 years.

Math Teacher showed me a trailer of Napoleon (2023).  He was intrigued and wanted to see the movie.  I was more of "Who's that guy?  He looks familiar."

Then they put a crown on him.  I shouted, "That was him!  The emperor from Gladiator!"

Math Teacher replied, "Joaquin Phoenix."

I said, "Yes, he has that 'emperor' face."

Math Teacher said, "He has that 'I murdered hundreds and thousands of people to be your emperor' face."

All Hail Emperor Joaquin Phoenix.

UPDATED ON 13 JUNE 2024: This is a review for Joaquin Phoenix's face again in Folie a Deux trailer. He was unbelievable. The end of the trailer was him looking like a middle-aged man, broken, despondent, desperate, someone went through life of paying taxes, mortgage, and insurance. Then he turned around to scrunch up his face into Joker's smile. Immediately he was creepy, scary, someone that would enjoy stabbing you multiple times. I got chills.

Math Teacher believed that face was CGI'ed. I'd like to believe Joaquin Phoenix is that good.  I'm never going to see Joker:  Folie a Deux because he is too scary.  He would give me nightmares.

Long Live Emperor Joaquin Phoenix.
