[112] Filmmaker Kevin Smith commended the trailer, stating he thought the film "would still work even if [DC Comics] didn't exist" and praising its uniqueness. but if he succeeded, he would be dissepointed. We are afraid of this aimless & causeless nature of life & existence; hence we attach ourselves to some cause or emotion or purpose.
And believe it or not coming from a very existentially nihilistic view of myself I realized his message is quite rather Ultimately TRUE because one day everything “will” burn, specifically when the sun becomes a Red Giant, or becomes a SuperNova. Although we don’t like boundaries & we hate bonds that reduce our capacity to reach the maximum heights or depths of our existence, we feel secure with all the boundaries & bonds. I do, and your review is an excellent inquiry into the matter. And even more dissillutioned with the workd than he already is.
Intense, right? *Choughs* Anyway… I think that the reason he is so obsessed with Batman is not just ‘to prove a point’, it is because… well… it’s complicated, and some parts I can onlyguess at, but… I suspect he finds a meaning in life in corrupting him. [4] It went on to break Venom's record for the biggest October opening, finishing the weekend with a domestic total of $96.2 million. The new movie is exposing some of the toughest questions about art. Arthur sneaks into a private event and confronts Thomas, who tells him that Penny is delusional and not his biological mother. The film polarized critics. I also suspect one reason why he has no fear, or a part of the reason, is because he sees himself for the monster he is. I’m glad that in the trilogy we get an (on purpose) conflicting Joker’s origin story, I think it’s something that fits the character well. Arthur gives in to Joker, who Phoenix himself is clear in framing as a villain. Gotham is rife with crime and unemployment, leaving swaths of the population disenfranchised and impoverished.
"[211], 2019 psychological thriller film by Todd Phillips, It was a yearlong process from when we finished the script just to get the new people on board with this vision, because I pitched it to an entirely different team than made it. In “The Dark Knight Returns” for example… a random untrained 13year old girl becomes Robin and does back flips. They don’t follow the set way of thinking. Weldon also described Joker as trying too hard to deviate from the comics and, as a result, coming off as an imitation of films like Taxi Driver. Others have him as being a very weak character, almost too frail for his own good.
You are a very evil man Francis.
"[57] Phillips later clarified that he meant they did not look to a specific comic for inspiration, but rather "picked and chose what we liked" from the character's history.
That makes this movie hard and painful to watch. [171] Actor Josh Brolin, who portrays Thanos in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, found the film powerful: "To appreciate Joker I believe you have to have either gone through something traumatic in your lifetime (and I believe most of us have) or understand somewhere in your psyche what true compassion is. Arthur, still playing by society’s rules, is actually terrific at what he does. But the Joker is part of the darker side of that way of thinking. He is amoral and not driven by ethical considerations, but by a shameless and insatiable nature, and although his actions are condemned as evil, he is necessary for cultural robustness.
Gotham’s resting state is one of violence against its denizens such that Joker almost becomes a caricature at times with its excessive unpleasantness.
The laughter is perceived as a disease, maybe a tic, or a neurological condition. [99] Hildur's music won numerous awards including an Academy Award, a Satellite Award, a Saturn Award and the Golden Globe Award for Best Original Score, with the latter making her the first woman to win as a solo composer in that category.
I like the Joker as much as I do because I understand him…. We get the terrific pull-out shot of the Murray Franklin aftermath on a monitor, alongside dozens of other monitors, which felt as if that’s where things should cut. However, he also seems to have some genuine affection himself for Harley. “Joker” is instead an interrogation of the roots of violence, the abuse and drugs and family breakdown and other conditions that might lead someone to conclude that they have nothing left to lose. The Joker feels emotion, and the definition of psychopathy is that a person feels no emotion whatsoever.
The Dark Knight showed the Joker the way he was meant to be portrayed. Deep Analysis: Joker.
[5][6] It is the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2019 and the highest-grossing R-rated film of all time,[132] as well as the first R-rated film to pass the billion-dollar mark. If “The Dark Knight Rises” raised the specter of the French Revolution, “Joker” evokes the Russian. Him differently.. I’m sorry but he is a full profile of psychopath !!
All that, if we wanted to go for realism. On the flipside of that psychological coin, you also, deep down…mh… it’s hard to put words to this… it’s not that you don’t want to succeed, you do… but so long as there is one person whom remains an innocent (for lack of a better word) you have a… hope/reminecent of your own lost innocence… whatever to call it.
