As a movie, "Joker" disappointed me. This disappointment lies in my high expectations.
As a prophecy, it is undoubtedly a true prophecy, especially in line with the current situation, and there is a place currently being staged.
The Joker movie, I can say that waiting is really like years, but after watching it, I am still quite disappointed. Such disappointment is in my heart. It is really expressive. Let me talk about the most disappointing point. The biggest feature of this film is:
Dull
This kind of is dull and even makes me feel a drowsy feeling. The picture is dark and the voice is low. I almost can't evoke my desire to continue watching. If it weren't for the proper performance and rich facial expressions of Jackie Phoenix , I simply can’t keep watching.
Of course, when it comes to this clown, it must be compared with the Heath Ledger clown. I think it’s a bit inferior. The clown in the comics fits this image the most in my mind is the clown in the suicide squad, but he committed suicide. The squad clown is still inferior to the hysterical madness of the original book. This may be a special form of expression like comics that can be imagined. Of course, the anime also shows how crazy the clown is. Heath Ledger’s clown is obviously not as crazy as in the comics. Evil, Heath Ledger’s clown has created a more philosophical clown, which is a sublimation of the original clown. This sublimation, through Heath Ledger’s performance and preaching, makes people feel the rationality of the three views of clowns, of course. His fight with Batman during the rise of the dark knight also embodies a kind of confrontation and contradiction. In this movie, the clown played by Jacques Phoenix has almost become his one-man and inner drama. There are hardly any scenes of fierce struggle that touches me in this film. Even if the final fire burns on the streets, I can hardly feel it. The shock that Heath Ledger brought to me. The clown played by Jackie Phoenix is his one-man show, so no matter how strong he is, I really sweated for him to promote the whole movie by himself. Not to mention that there are simply too many long shots and close-ups that can be seen everywhere in the movie.
The clown played by Jacques Phoenix does not grasp the core of the original clown, that is chaos, chaos, this is the core of the clown character and the clown philosophy, and it is also his weapon of values against the world and Batman. Imagine that the clown does not Superpowers, without a strong physique, and seemingly not much money, why do you have a place among the villains in the world, and why fight Batman? He relied on his three views, surpassing Batman, and can directly reach the three views of the essence of the world, but Jackie Phoenix obviously did not show such "chaotic" three views. The formation of such three views is in "Fatal Joke" "There is a self-righteous adaptation of the director and screenwriter but did not notice that there is a dramatic conflict in the contrasting expression of the deadly joke.
Chaos is fairness. This is the essence of clowns. All performances without showing this essence are just a clumsy external imitation, and then put in the private goods of the director, screenwriter, and actors, but they do not understand the core of the clown.
Therefore, the clown in this film is not strictly a dc clown. If you have read manga and anime, it seems that it is difficult for you to associate the clown played by Jackie Phoenix with the original clown. The clown was not from the beginning. An anti-social leader, but at the end of the film, the public is almost given a throne to the clown! He disdains the understanding of ordinary people, and will not enjoy their worship!
Looking at the end of the film, this is almost an insult to the clown. When did the clown fall into leading the public activities? He has never regarded himself as a god, devil or other savior. He is more like a humanity experiment to the public. According to my understanding, he is an experimenter in the humanity laboratory, holding a white mouse for experimentation. This film is obviously Make him the big brother of the white mouse! The clown's coffin board can't cover it!
This film contains too many private goods of the director, screenwriter and even Jacques Phoenix. It is really unbearable to look at it directly. Forgive me for not being able to beat Samsung. These private goods are indeed mixed, but they are far from my imagination.
The world has no Heath Ledger, a set of super three views of the clown, no one in this world can express it anymore.
