After watching the clown, I remembered half a sentence: "The old society turned people into ghosts."
I was born in the 1970s and I have seen many old movies, including progressive movies made by left-wingers during the Republic of China era, which are full of accusations against the dark and decadent old society. The Joker movie also uses a lot of space to tell how the protagonist lives a poor and hopeless life as a low-level loser in a western metropolis, enduring cold-hearted bullying and framed, like a person dislikes the garbage that affects the city's appearance. The first murder was actually beaten first. It was too defensive. If he could believe the law to surrender at that time, then he would not go to the final path of crime. But he tasted the thrill of violence, and finally chose to retaliate against the society.
Bruce Wayne, a young Batman, appeared in the film. Ironically, the Joker thought he and him were brothers... (whether the plot is so bloody), of course, in the end he discovered that it might just be the mother’s delusion, and even the mother Neither was her biological mother, which caused him to finally collapse. But maybe Old Wayne managed everything with money, revised the file, denounced his mother as a lunatic, and sent him to a mental hospital. If Old Wayne can elect the mayor, he might be better able to cover up all the police and court media... what can do as he pleases is richer and more powerful than rich.
When the clown tried to send a bunch of flowers to the little Bruce inside the door through the iron fence, at that moment the cruel and cold world seemed to be covered with a warm fairy tale light, and it seemed that their two brothers could live happily together ever since. At that moment, he might just want to be a good person... but the appearance of the butler shattered all his illusions, and he could only run away.
Will the Joker ever be jealous of Bruce? Why is it that some people have everything when they are born, but some people have nothing. If Bruce and the Joker’s life experience change... then can Bruce still become Batman? Maybe it can, but it can only be Batman who can't afford a car and wants to squeeze the subway to save the United States. He has no money to make super equipment. It is very likely that he will be beaten up in the subway like a clown. If he is "excessively defended" , Will also become a criminal instead of a hero.
So Batman can become a hero because he is just enough or because he is rich enough?
The role of Batman, like most superheroes, is in line with people's dreams: super rich, handsome, capable of martial arts, huge castles, underground bases, custom luxury cars, beautiful beauties, but it does not hinder true love. Despite the tragic past of the death of both parents, at least the clown doesn't mind exchanging lives.
If the identities are exchanged, a poor, boring, ugly loser Batman who still lives with his mother at an age will fight against a clown who is worshipped by all, rich and powerful, handsome, arrogant and arrogant and dark at heart. The story sounds more desperate and more interesting, it is simply dead-end difficulty. Then Batman killed the evil rich villain-the father of the Joker. The clown brought the police to catch him. At this time, the people appeared, protected Batman and held him up high, and supported him as a hero. Does this story sound like a very hot-blooded revolution? Does anyone still doubt that Batman may actually be just a murderer who hates the world?
If the clown succeeds, it seizes the power of Gotham City. He became the person he hated the most--Old Bruce, and he also had the power to cover the sky with one hand. How would he write history? Does anyone dare to say that he is a criminal? He will be portrayed as the hero of the poor. Although he is no longer a poor man, what he thinks in his mind at that time is only how not to let the new poor take everything from him. The young Bruce will fall to the bottom from the top of the sky, or be sent to the Arkham lunatic asylum for reform, full of revenge and anger, and then embark on the path of violent crime.
Therefore, the uniqueness of the "Joker" movie is that it is not creating a hero who is angry against evil capitalism, a poor man's Batman. It does not intend to beautify the protagonist into a Liangshan hero, nor does it demonize the rich. vampire. The clown's tragic life is sympathetic, and he is still a criminal with cruel and psychological distortion.
Perhaps this is the real tragedy: there is no hero, or even justice, only mutual hatred and harm. The poor hate the rich, the rich fear the poor, class vendettas and turmoil, or reincarnation, every time it is prosperous and bloody.
Criminals must be punished. But if you want to reduce crime, you can't just wait for justice that is late after the incident, when the tragedy has already happened. Poor people cannot get a good education, cannot find a good job, are even poorer, are even in debt, cannot cure diseases, fall into despair... Such vicious accumulation will increase the crime rate.
The joke said that if you drive away all the poor people who are a hundred miles away, there will be no poor people. But we cannot really eliminate the poor, what we want to eliminate is poverty. What is used to eliminate poverty? Looting the rich? It's only prosperity that wipes out. In a world that hates the rich, no one dared to be rich, no one dared to make money, and finally everyone went to common poverty. But a world that is too poor is equally terrible. Many people go into depression or even desperation and madness not because of poverty, but because they live without dignity.
It is impossible for us to ask the old Bruce to donate all his property to the poor, so that the poor will not become fewer, but there will be one more family. And the best way to eliminate the clown is to stop thinking of that person as a clown until he believes that he is a clown.
