Why so serious?

The most worthy of discussion is undoubtedly the script; one push for the writers is tension: there are several issues that strongly drive attention

- When did you start to completely blacken and sink?

- When did you kill (the first) person?

- When did each one lose their connection with the bright people?

Tension comes from this tension, and what creates tension is violence and suddenness. Violence is undoubtedly the scene of the massacre of random. Not only the dwarfs are frightened, but most of the audience will also be frightened, but there is nothing to say about the aesthetics of violence; the sudden feeling is the shooting of the comedian host and the many scenes that follow.

A similar tension is evident in the American drama better call saul; it even drives the development of viewing dynamics for several seasons: when is the real moment of 'Saul Goodman'? Here corresponds to Jimmy/Walt. I think it is not the first murder, but Completely lost the connection with the world: After killing the mother/neighbor daughter, the hell will be completely opened, from then on nothing can hurt me anymore. For Gotham, the author also indirectly completed two spiritual "fatherslaughter": personally killed childhood idols; Followers(?) then shot and killed the Waynes

The suddenness of the latter has a metaphor for me: the victory of darkness over light—this kind of despair pervaded the dark knight for a long time.

The motive of the host's killing: In addition to being an idol for many years since he was a child, he has ruthlessly ridiculed and used the author, and (more importantly/directly) is that he refuted the author's anti-social remarks in person. This is terrible rationality being thoroughly At the moment of trampling, the author has even disdain to reply/argument his value discussion.

In addition, I have to say that schizophrenia is also a "skill". It not only made me surprised when I learned about certain plots (all black women are YY), but also wrongly predicted the following plots, and even left Many fans have discussed the "over-interpretation" for many years, which is also called "true and false"; the technique here is not only used on the author, but also on the protagonist's mother. I am familiar with the nolan trilogy. I was also surprised by the setting of the joker/Batman brothers, which soon proved to be a myth. Of course, the concatenation here at the end becomes the prequel of "Dark Knight". I think it is more of the layout of DC universe, and the artistry may not be a plus.

Another surprise that can seem personal: getting a call from merry inviting him to a talk show. Here, when I was distracted, I thought it might be a fanatical wish, so I imagined it again.

Today's Gothan City, the most similar one in the world is probably HK SAR. The irony is that I happened to watch the movie here: maybe after watching the arson scene in the movie, when you come out of the theater, you can see the populist "beating and smashing" of the marchers. burn"; I just didn't happen to be in Gotham at that time.

What if DC could find Christopher Nolan to shoot Joker II? After all, there are only a handful of villains in the history of film that make people feel "evil and charming". Sadly not possible:

RIP Heath ledger!

Joker quotes

  • Arthur Fleck: Comedy is subjective, Murray, isn't that what they say? All of you, the system that knows so much: you decide what's right or wrong the same way you decide what's funny or not.

  • Arthur Fleck: You don't listen, do you? I don't think you ever really hear me. You just ask the same questions every week. "How's your job?" "Are you having any negative thoughts?" All I have are negative thoughts.
