"Joker" has not been negatively affected by the controversy. On the contrary, it has become more and more controversial.
On the contrary, more and more people have expressed their reasons why they like this movie.
The reasons can be said to be all kinds of strange.
This also caused a period of discussion, with a well-known media person wondering: "At first I thought they liked the actor rather than the character, but they told me that was not the case. Why? I didn't understand them.
Does it mean that my moral values have fallen behind? Shouldn’t a person who commits murder and set fire should be shunned by society? What’s more, some people say that the clown just did something we dare not do!”
This is also true.
"The reason why I like clowns is very simple. I like villains. I don't know if it's an aesthetic quirk of mine. I like villains more than decent characters. I don't know why."
"I like clowns because they do things that we want to do but can't and don't dare to do!"
"When people live in society, there are always things that go wrong, or they are PUA'd in the workplace, or they are treated unfairly in life. I think everyone will have a little revenge and criminal psychology in their heart. This is what everyone has.
The same thing is like, after we are bullied by someone, do we secretly curse the other person in our hearts?
But often in reality, we have no place to vent, and it is difficult to vent our feelings. From a psychological perspective, audiences like to connect their subconscious with their favorite movies. If you want to connect with the clown, you can at least get a visual
Catharsis, as if you are a clown. Of course, I don’t agree with those who say that after watching a clown, they imitate clowns in doing violent things and committing crimes, because on the contrary, after watching such a movie, they will
Let’s let that negative emotion out!”
"I like clowns because of their appearance, with their faces painted in white, green hair, red lips, and purple dresses. Basically, I think many people will like the appearance of clowns, right? On the other hand, I think
When the clown dances, he really has a very unique sense of beauty. Of course, people always like to pursue new beauty, like new things, and like things that are different. When most movies are about upright saving the world, the clown
The appearance of this villain adds a new color to our boring urban life."
"Why you are reduced to a clown? That is the hard life of the people at the bottom. In addition to living every day, there are still hopes and dreams. The clown works with tears and conscientiously, but as a result, he is repeatedly fooled and teased, and finally he is directly fired. In order to become
If people who are struggling to meet the bottom line of life are not treated well, accumulated dissatisfaction will break out! In fact, many of us have had the experience of being a clown, being PUA in the workplace, being ignored, bullied, and superheroing in life.
Will save the world, but we all know that superheroes do not exist, but clowns are more real!"
Domestic film critic Zhou Qingquan wrote:
“We often say: Lucky people use their childhood to heal their lives, and unfortunate people use their lives to heal their childhood.
The overall tone of the movie "Joker" is depressing. After watching the whole movie, I can only describe it as sad, sad clown, sad society, sad system, sad thoughts, sad subjective definition. Every
The system will have its own flaws to a greater or lesser extent. The clowns represent ordinary people living at the bottom of society. They struggle helplessly in the middle of the night, eager to be noticed by society, so much so that after experiencing devastation, they choose to use such
Extreme ways to take revenge on society.
Everyone likes justice, worships those heroes, and thinks that villains should be killed. But in this world, where does real justice and real evil exist? Just like genius and madman are just a difference of thought, so it depends on people.
The key to looking at things lies in your perspective. The clown is a kind of shady justice, which is both gratifying and sad.
Forgive me for laughing. I have a disease. Please turn it over. This disease makes me laugh out loud often. It does not represent my mood. It may be a brain injury or neurological disease.
I want to say what kind of disease is this? It is a disease caused by the dissatisfaction and anger after seeing women being molested by the so-called "social elites" on the subway.
This is a disease caused by making a child laugh with good intentions on the bus, but suddenly being mocked coldly by the mother next to her, "Stay away from my child."
This is a disease caused by working hard to do the clown job that one loves, but being betrayed by a trusted brother and fired by the boss.
This is a disease caused by being kind to your mother wholeheartedly but learning that your mother has lied to you your whole life.
This is a disease caused by trying to cater to someone who wants to be recognized but ultimately gets ridicule and disdain in return.
This is a kind of accumulation that is so weak that all emotions are burst out with all their strength.
This is not a joke, I'm totally giving it up, nothing can hurt me, my life is just a comedy.
What kind of life did he have to go through before he could risk his life? What a powerless voice. In fact, he was on the verge of a mental breakdown and killed his mother and friends. Could it be that he must be happy in his heart? This is a kind of being completely destroyed.
After abandoning the world, he went back to destroy the humbleness of the whole world. Although his behavior was abhorrent, I want to say that it is a kind of sadness that has never been understood.
Why did "Joker" cause so much controversy?
First of all, because there is a clown living in everyone's heart, because there are always so many dissatisfactions in life, especially nowadays when social pressure is increasing.
The things that the clown has encountered may not be encountered by many of us, but at least, you must have encountered them.
Secondly, the clown frantically started to risk everything, yes, risk everything.
And this is often something that most people cannot do in our reality, because the clown in the movie has nothing. He has no relatives, no lover, and even no friends. He can say that he has no worries.
, this kind of person is the scariest, because he is the most likely to truly activate the clown.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! But we are not, so deep down in our hearts, we secretly think, if I can risk it all.
For example, when you encounter injustice in the workplace and hear your boss say, "Don't do it if you can't do it well," many of us have experienced it. We want to throw a resignation letter directly in his face, and then say that I don't want to serve him anymore.
But the reality is that we can't do this.
In the movie, you just want to laugh at me. What will happen when you provoke a marginal person who is abandoned by society, treated as trash, and mentally ill? I tell you what will happen. You will reap the consequences. The more unfortunate your life is, the more you will
Keep smiling at the world. Why? Who is not an ordinary person? Who can still smile at life after experiencing devastation?
You all know this social system so well, you decide what is right and wrong, just like you decide what is funny or not funny. Everyone is yelling at each other, no one respects each other, no one puts themselves in each other's shoes. Yeah,
Who wants to think about others?
Madness is like gravity, sometimes all you need is a gentle push. This is why there are so many clowns at the end of the film. They all live at the bottom of this society. They are hurt and tortured, but they
We can only swallow our anger. But who is one level higher than whom? Everyone is equal, and when oppression reaches the extreme, there is endless resistance.
This movie can't help but remind me of some of the problems in our lives. Like when an old man falls, can he be helped? Like the children who left the world because of bullying on campus. When you are bullied, you long for the world to give you something.
A little bit of beauty.
No one can guarantee that society is always just. But I want to say, take good care of yourself. Even if you are treated like a madman, take good care of yourself.
People's opinions will eventually accumulate into social haze. Since we cannot avoid the existence of those who think they are "just", then we should treat them as air. The mainstream of society is sunshine, and there are always people full of love and hope.
Just like the wind will remember the fragrance of a flower, the sunshine you contribute to this world will always dispel some of the dark haze.
You see, the wind always beats the sapling, and the sapling never gets angry. It just keeps rooting downwards, because it knows that it will eventually become a towering tree. You see, the sunflower always raises its head and grows towards the sun.
Be carefree and carefree, laugh at everything in the world, and then go away singing."
In fact, there are many people with views like Zhou Qingquan's. After all, life will always go on. You can't let yourself fall into doubting the world and life because of a movie.
"Joker" doesn't have that much power either!
There are also some questions about some characters in the movie.
It has also caused a lot of discussion on the Internet, for example, one of the key figures, "Thomas Wayne"!
Although there is no Batman IP in this world, in "Joker", Thomas Wayne is a character that cannot be bypassed.
Someone asked: "Is Thomas Wayne a philanthropist or a hypocrite?"
Some people think: "Thomas Wayne does not play much in the film, but through the publicity of the Arthur subway murder incident, we can understand Thomas Wayne's personality: he called the three gangsters in the subway:"
The elite of Wall Street" called Arthur, who was severely beaten and defended and killed, "the trash of society" and evaluated himself as: "a self-made successful person."
Wall Street elites and hooliganism seem to be contradictory, but in fact they are two labels that coexist. Thomas Wayne deliberately distorted the facts in order to maintain the image of the upper class.
Arthur's wild laughter made the gangster give up teasing the lady and turn his attention to himself.
Arthur, who first suffered a severe beating and then fought back, even had a sense of bravery, because Arthur's maniacal laughter saved the lady who was being teased and humiliated in the carriage. Arthur's behavior of killing people with a gun should be classified as a combination of anger and self-defense.
Although the defense was obviously excessive, it still happened for a reason. In Thomas Wayne's mouth, all these twists and turns were ignored, and only the final result was intercepted, and Arthur was identified as a scum murderer at the bottom of society.
A self-made successful person. Thomas Wayne is obviously a successful person, but being self-made is a lie. It is just a fabricated statement made to set off the tall image of the upper class. The Wayne family has achieved what it is today through generations of monopoly management and accumulation.
His status and wealth were definitely not achieved by Thomas alone, let alone starting from scratch.
Just through a TV speech, you can find that Thomas Wayne's image is subversive, from the traditional image of a philanthropist to a hypocrite who tells lies!"
But there are also people who think Thomas Wayne is not a hypocrite.
His reaction was exactly what a normal person should do.
“I don’t understand why many people think Thomas Wayne is a hypocrite, what did he do?
Throughout the entire movie, what does he say?
Is there a problem with him condemning the murderers of his own employees?
He is just a businessman, not a law enforcer. He longs for social stability more than anyone else. No matter what Arthur's original intention was, he did kill someone. It is impossible for anyone to express sympathy for Arthur in public.
words.
In fact, let alone Thomas Wayne, no normal person would sympathize with a murderer who killed three people in a row!
Even if what he did seemed to be excusable, of course, if Arthur surrendered, then it would be another matter.
At the same time, in terms of character creation, it is said that Thomas Wayne did not start from scratch. What is the problem with this?
He may not be a great person, but at least he's not a despicable hypocrite, right?
Let’s talk about what happened to Arthur. He was punched and kicked by those three people on the subway. This incident is indeed very disappointing, but is it really so just for him to shoot and kill them?
And that girl, how did she do it?
We can't just look at the results, but we can't just look at the process either!
Because only looking at the results, the three people died, but has anyone ever thought about it, are the three of them really guilty enough to die to apologize?
If you only look at the process, Arthur is indeed worthy of sympathy. He acted bravely to a certain extent, but since he has a gun in his hand, is there a better way to act bravely?
So this is destined to be a fruitless answer. Likewise, Thomas Wayne cannot be denied based on this!
