Robust scarcity system

Since September this year, the key word someone chats with me has become, joker joker joker... piketty... joker joker joker joker.. zizek... joker joker... piketty piketty... joker joker joker joker joker...... But this film is not available in China. Can only wait for the online version. I finally made time to read the Korean subtitled version on the Internet. Also asked to write film reviews. Well then. The following are my feelings.

What impressed me most about the movie Joker is that the police in Gotham City are very weak in investigating and hunting down. Arthur killed three people in the subway at first, and just ran away for him. There must be no cameras installed in the subway. If this kind of thing happened in China, the police would be able to pick out people within 24 hours, believe it or not. But Arthur went home for many days like a okay person. If there is a fluke in this matter, after killing the female neighbor and mother, there should be enough clues left. (Not sure if the female neighbor was really killed or existed). But the police didn't seem to be very anxious, and sent two buddies who were not very able to run over and said they wanted to talk to him. Unsurprisingly, he did not catch up and was beaten up in the subway. On the other side, Arthur was surely on the show. Of course, police and cameras should be considered public expenditures. Gotham City has reached the point where no one collects garbage, and the psychological counseling program for the disadvantaged group has also been cut (of course, it is not sure whether the psychological counselor at the beginning actually exists), and the police will be so weak. It's not unimaginable.

It is said that the central idea of ​​this movie is that the upper-class elites have captured the entire society, and then the lower-classes are forced to be unable to do anything, and they have violent carnivals. I didn't feel that the movie said this convincingly. But from the perspective of the police system alone, Gotham City does have a lot of abuses. The most important lesson may be that if you cut too much public expenditure, the robustness of the entire system will be severely affected.

Well, I know I am a person who can never get the right points when watching a movie.

In fact, I don’t understand why many people hate this movie so much, and feel that it is not correct and incites violence. In my opinion, the director has done a lot of succumbing to the "normal" logic, making the movie easier to understand. Specifically, Arthur seemed to have a good reason for killing. Killing in the subway was because of being besieged. I killed my mother because I was beaten since I was a child, and I finally got a little expectation and found out that I was cheated (this is actually not sure, it is also possible that her mother really had a leg with Wayne, and was finally driven crazy by Wayne). The former colleague was killed because he was scammed. The talk show host was killed because he was ridiculed. Those who say that the three views of the movie are not righteous just think that these reasons do not constitute legitimate reasons for murder and arson. But it won't feel unreasonable. But this person is crazy, isn't it? A mental illness that produces hallucinations all day long. Wouldn't it be better to mess around? A truly crazy person does not need so much external stimulation to do things. I just feel that madness is more than that, and the film performance is not enough.

what. Finally finished. mission accomplished.
