Similar to the notorious serial killer

The facial makeup of the clown in this film is very similar to that of John Wayne Garcy . This Garcy is a notorious serial killer and rapist in the United States. This serial killer often pretends to be "The Clown Berg " (this is his own clown Name) to amuse the child.

    At 9 points, Phoenix deserves an Oscar. The performance is too emotional. It expresses pain with an uncontrollable laugh, which makes people sad. The film is very different from most previous superhero movies. There are no special effects, no spectacles, or even too many action scenes. Instead, in a slightly retro way, I talked about why the clown became that clown. It's actually a serious film, including paying attention to social issues. The film is quite evil and will make you a little sympathetic to this clown. In addition, this film should not be sequel and derivative, because it is still too real. If this character is re-comicized, it will not be him anymore.
