      I'm not saying Leo is not a good actor but the only character imo I think he played one that close enough to resemble a broken man was The Revenant. I feel like other characters he played in a way has a certain "quirks" that makes you go oh that's classic Leo character. Like gatsby, wall street, inception, catch me if you can, once upon a time in Hollywood even shutter island. But Phoenix used to play a broken man e.g Johnny Cash in Walk the line, The master, you were never really here, her and even everyone believed he was out of his mind with I'm still here.

    An absolutely fantastic actor. As good as he was in “Joker,” his performance in “The Master,” was one for the ages. Just incredible. His life has not been easy and full of tragedy. I love his protection of animals - his acceptance speech for ‘Joker” was absolutely superb. Glad he has a lovely lady who loves him in his life. Truly an inspiration!

    He has truly lived a hard life, and I’m just so happy he has finally found peace and love in his life.
    Although I think this video gives some good inside, I don’t think it tells enough about the impact Rivers death had on him. River was the rock of the family, and the leader and role model for his younger siblings. Joaquin can only now talk about him (shortly). And their sister, Rain, has only now gotten so far in the healing process that she has accepted it, and now been able to make an album in Rivers honor. It is truly a heartbreaking story.
    On another note, I wish the people would take down the leaked audio of Joaquin’s 911 call!! It is beyond disrespectful that it’s still out there!!

    Just finished watching Joker. Joaquin is by far the most amazing acting talent of this century! The performance in Joker wasn't an easy task. I wasn't famous, but was a child actor and it alters your life forever. To transition from youth to adult talent is remarkable. Hoping to see Mr. Phoenix taking home an Oscar. It will be nothing by well deserved.

While the character maybe the same everything else is different. Each performance can stand on its own without the need to diminish the others.
