The success of a paranoid

I heard that this year's movie "The Clown" has a lot to do with this movie. What makes people moving is the narrative of the state of celebrities, being sought after, welcomed, cursed, followed, kidnapped, all the way All kinds of people, etc., the portrayal is impressive. The other is the obsession of the protagonist and a woman. In order to become famous, they stubbornly believe that they should be welcomed. Once they feel that they go against their will, they will commit crimes. This is completely realistic. The way of "Joker" is definitely more extreme. He was abandoned by society, and both good and evil caused him harm. The reason why the clown commits crime is the evil of the whole society. This is more because his personal desires are not satisfied, and more because of his personal evil. The last talk show is the essence. I told my experience of kidnapping the host on stage, and I would rather be the king of the night and go to prison. The script is very good. The final ending is similar to Martin's later "The Wolf of Wall Street". The means are not important, even if you let people see the effect through the form of crime, you will be welcomed, and what people value is success. This is what people want.

    Rewatch. Clipping God. (By the way, complain about The Clown, I learned too much) Lao Ma is really the most fierce one in New Hollywood. There are too many things in this film. Overall, it is simply a collection of American social complaints. And De Niro's acting skills are still awesome.
