I attended the world premiere of the new film Joker. First Joaquin Phoenix takes the term mind blowing to a new level of blowing up your mind. This isn't a movie review but maybe a new step for viewers and listeners to be more aware of their personal reviews. You can't help but see pieces of your self in this character. We're all carrying luggage. Where you set it aside is determined by a choice. How it's picked back up can come incredibly unexpected and it feels like you've not gone anywhere. Forget that Joaquin is playing a DC comic book villain. This film is about mental abuse, sickness and distance caused by a society that continues to drop off its luggage in corners assumed gone forever. I grew up in a world where my grandmother and aunt endlessly tried to put my brother in an institution. That's what they did in the 60's! Mom wanted nothing to do with that plan or purpose. She stayed true to him faithfully, unconditionally and spiritually. She didn't try to hide anything. There are several shapes and shades of what mental illness is and there are experts that can help unlock the mountain standing in your way. On this podcast I do something I rarely attempt. I don't ever read from the current day we're standing in. Time has taught me how to digest. I write about the Joker experience by way of being a daily writer and how important it is to build on that platform. Joaquin called it his joke book. We all have one of those its called Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On the outside, as a reader, a lot of stuff shows up on the face of my computer that may have come out of you as a way of releasing. What are you truly trying to say. We can't hear your inflection by way of written words. Joker. You're gonna be a different person when you leave the theater. You're gonna look not only into your own heart but from that day forward the way you laugh in pubic or while alone. It will put you in places you thought were hidden away in boxes forever. Don't be afraid to reach for help.
