Joaquin Phoenix it is fashionable This is what he has to star in one of the most impressive films of recent years and sweep all the film awards for which he has been nominated. That is why it is not surprising that videos like this emerge: a hard job tribute to the career of the actor that you are going to gawk at from start to finish. Look at this.
Joaquin Phoenix: And finally the Oscar arrived
They say that for a lot rebellious attitude whatever he has, he wanted this Oscar with all his might. It is what it has to have been at the gates several times (for gladiator, Walk the Line y The Master) and be aware that you have possibly played the role of your life in Joker. The film, based on the great villain of the DC comics, has offered us a very different look to the conception that until now we had of the character thanks to the creativity of Todd Phillips and to a Joaquin in an absolute state of grace.
And it has nothing to do with what we have seen in Joker with what many imagined when we found out that a film would be created with this character as the protagonist. Philips has known how to tell a parallel and true story, far from all the science fiction of the genre, in which the man with the uncontrollable laughter is a mental patient beaten by a sadly stratified society. It goes without saying that such a story would not have worked the same way if it hadn't been for Joaquin -did you know that Leonardo DiCaprio was also tempted to give life to the villain?-, who has managed to offer us one of the best interpretations of joker that we have ever seen in history.
And such work received its top prize at the Oscars this past weekend. It was more than sung that the actor would (finally) take a statuette, thanks to an interpretation that has managed to unanimously convince everyone and thus assuming the final climax to a year of Joker fantastic.
A tribute to the career of a transcendent Joker
Now many will have been interested in this actor born in Puerto Rico in 1974, but the truth is that Joaquin Rafael Bottom, which is his real name, has the long career behind their backs. As we told you before, Phoenix has been nominated three times for an Oscar, as a leading actor and as a supporting actor, and has many other statuettes in the cabinets of his house.
The recognition is not only from specialized critics. The actor has an important legion of fans who also follows and defends him (Joaquin has a…complicated character) in everything he does. Within this group of admirers is Luis Calles, a professional video editor who is quite famous online (his montages about Real Madrid ended up being so popular that he was signed by the soccer team) who wanted to pay tribute to the star with a fantastic video in which absolutely sums up his entire career in the cinema (it has a look at the 33 films of his filmography).

The sequences last seconds, but they are enough to see the multiple faces that our Joker has adopted since its inception and with which it has achieved the recognition it currently enjoys. Four minutes and 43 seconds of montage to the rhythm of the mythical "My Way" by Frank Sinatra that accumulates thousands of retweets, likes and has generated extensive conversation on Twitter. And now you're going to find out why. Get comfortable in your chair, turn up the speakers and press play:
