Are you apolitical?

A billion dollar movie.

A lot of places remind me of pta's "The Master", "King of Comedy", also relying on self-abuse to attract attention, but there is something sweet there, friendship worth remembering.

And the clowns are really desperate, except madness is death, there is no antidote.

People who watch this film will only find some negative emotions, but it will breed more negative emotions. What's the use?

I can never forget that song that little girlfriend sang in this navy's ear, like the source code in our memory. Loop.

Gotham, Batman's city in DC Comics.

Are you apolitical?

The clown kept emphasizing this sentence. Everyone wants to say that. But everyone is born with small emotions.

For those at the bottom of society like the Joker, they don't even know that their mother was adopted and abused and grew up, and then embarked on a road of no return to retaliate against the society.

Desires to be recognized by society, has a desire to perform, has paranoia, and will laugh morbidly. We are so impetuous now that no one has ever opened his eyes to observe others.

The world is bad. This is the truth.

This bad world, I don't know how bad I am. The world is so bad that even a bad world doesn't know how bad it is.

We laugh at God, we laugh at successful politicians, we laugh at successful TV hosts, we laugh at our neighbors, we laugh at our own mothers to express our anger at a bad world.

But everything is not as good as a gun.

And when the entire Gotham City has a gun, humans destroy their own world.

The name of mankind is America.

We are innately occupied, innately made choices.

Are you apolitical?

Joker quotes

  • Arthur Fleck: [Arthur goes to Wayne Manor where he sees young Bruce and does a clown rooting form before talking to him through the gates] Hi. What's your name?

    Bruce Wayne: I'm Bruce.

    Arthur Fleck: Bruce. I'm Arthur.

    [He sticks his hands through the gate, puts his fingers on Bruce's face lifting the corners of his mouth as if to make him smile]

    Alfred Pennyworth: Bruce! Bruce! Get away from that man.

    Arthur Fleck: It's okay. I'm a good guy.

    Alfred Pennyworth: How do you do? Who are you?

    Arthur Fleck: I'm here to see Mr. Wayne.

    Alfred Pennyworth: Well, you shouldn't be speaking to his son

    [Giving back the fake flowers Arthur gave Bruce]

    Alfred Pennyworth: Why did you give him these flowers?

    Arthur Fleck: No, they're not real. It's magic. I was just trying to make Bruce smile.

    Alfred Pennyworth: Well, it's not funny, is it? Do I need to call the police?

    Arthur Fleck: No, please. My mother's name is Penny. Penny Fleck. She used to work here years ago. Can you please tell Mr. Wayne I need to see him?

    Alfred Pennyworth: You are her son?

    Arthur Fleck: Yeah. Did you know her? I know about the two of them. She told me everything.

    Alfred Pennyworth: There's nothing to know. There is no "them." Your mother was delusional. She was a sick woman.

    Arthur Fleck: Don't say that.

    Alfred Pennyworth: Just go. Before you make a fool of yourself.

    Arthur Fleck: Thomas Wayne is my father.

    Alfred Pennyworth: [Alfred starts laughing, causing Arthur in anger to put his hand through the gates around Alfred's neck and starts to choke him] Let go of me! Let go! Let go of me!

    [Arthur looks at Bruce watching with fear, he turns and runs off]

  • Detective Garrity: Mr. Fleck. Sorry to bother you. I'm Detective Garrity this is my partner, Detective Burke. We have a few questions for you, but you weren't home. So we spoke with your mother.

    Arthur Fleck: Oh. What did you say to her? Did you do this?

    Detective Garrity: What? No.

    Detective Burke: No, no, no. We just asked her some questions. She got hysterical. Hyperventilating, collapsed...

    Arthur Fleck: Yeah, but the doctor said she had a stroke.

    Detective Garrity: We're sorry to hear about that. But like I said, I still have some questions for you. They're about to subway killings that happened last week. You've heard about them right?

    Arthur Fleck: Yeah. It's horrible.

    Detective Garrity: Right.

    Detective Garrity: So we spoke with your boss, over at Ha-Ha's. He said you were fired for bringing a gun into the children's hospital. Is that true, Mr. Fleck?

    Arthur Fleck: It's a prop. It's part of my act. I'm a party clown.

    Detective Burke: All right, so why were you fired?

    Arthur Fleck: They said I wasn't funny enough. Can you imagine that? Now if you don't mind, I have to go take care of my mother.

    Detective Burke: Your boss also gave us one of your cards. This condition of yours, The laughing, is it real, or some sort of clown thing?

    Arthur Fleck: A clown thing?

    Detective Garrity: Yeah. I mean, part of your act?

    Arthur Fleck: What do you think?

    [Arthur turns and starts walking towards the hospital doors, but walks into the glass door]

    Detective Garrity: It's exit only.
