Jiang Wen is too. The mad mother played by Zhou Yun in "The Sun Also Rises" is simply a mental patient, and she speaks allegorical paragraphs without a word. One of them is like this: the fool is standing by the well, staring down, and saying something in his mouth: 13, 13, 13... The madman leaned in curiously and was kicked into the well by the fool. The idiot continued to count: 14, 14...
There are many similar jokes about mental patients, and a lot of searches on the Internet are basically the same: one person is crazy, and another person who seems normal is also crazy. Two lunatics put together a piece and it becomes a joke, which is a typical "anticipation violation" structure.
In the DC comics world, Arkham Mental Hospital is an important landmark. The clown is an important villain. The movie "Batman • Fatal Joke" doesn't tell a joke about the mentally ill. I'm so sorry to Arkham and the Joker. The joke is this: Two mental patients decided to escape from the mental hospital. In this way, one night, they climbed onto the roof. There, across a narrow gap, a light leap is the roof of the city, the moonlight is gentle, leading to freedom. The first lunatic jumped over. But his partner did not dare to jump, for fear of falling off. The first person got an idea, he said: I have a flashlight, I will use it to illuminate the gaps in the roof, you can walk along the light. The second person shouted: Are you crazy for me? When I'm halfway, you will turn off the flashlight.
After the clown told the joke, he couldn't help laughing wildly. Batman froze for a while, and finally woke up, hugging the Joker and laughed. There was a sirens in the distance, and the two laughed so hard that they looked like a pair of confidants and like a pair of brothers.
Unlike the Nolan version of Crazy Joker, which has no basis, this film flashes back to the process of the Joker becoming mad. He was a disappointed talk show actor who made a living by telling jokes, but none of the people who listened to his jokes laughed, so he should have been disappointed, couldn't afford the rent, and was given an ultimatum by the landlord. The four-walled house has nothing to miss, except for his wife, who is pregnant with Liujia, who gently supports him behind his back. He is ready to take the risk and try to get a big vote with the criminals, "become a rich man on Saturday morning", and all problems will be solved. It is a pity that he experienced the "worst day", his wife and children died unexpectedly, the crime was spotted on the spot, and he jumped into the chemical pool in terror. When he came out, he found himself with a new face: protruding eyeballs, bright red lips and green lips. hair. The world was so absurd that he destroyed the last thought of his conformity, and he couldn't help laughing. So he went crazy and turned into a clown.
Civilization is built on the basis of reason, and madness is its opposite. But the fact is that irrationality is the truth of reason, just as there is a lunatic asylum before a lunatic, a prison before a crime, and the latter in order to deal with the former.
"The worst day" was like a stick, and the clown had an epiphany. The world hangs upside down, madness is real. The clown crime is not for money, not for beauty, and not for evil for no reason. His goal is to destroy the cornerstone of civilized society, the great invention of rational society-law. He wants to prove that the great road is not good, the world is stupid, and he is not crazy.
Batman uses violence to control violence and is not punished. It seems to be the last barrier of the law, but in essence, he is also an outsider. The only difference between him and the clown is that he chooses to stand on the side of the law.
The Joker exposes the absurd side of the world, and Batman maintains the rational existence of the world. Therefore, the most alike people are in the same situation, and two can only live one. Although in their hearts they thought Gotham was a lunatic asylum, they were the only two prophets.
But in the eyes of the world, they are lunatics.
