One modern movie that is often praised for its portrayal of an anti-hero is "Joker" (2019) starring Joaquin Phoenix. The character of Arthur Fleck, who later becomes the Joker, is compelling because of his complex backstory, his descent into madness, and the societal factors that contribute to his transformation into a villain. Phoenix's performance also adds layers of depth and emotion to the character, making him both sympathetic and terrifying.
