In the era of no masters, we can only rely on "bias" and "weird" to compete for favor

2.5/10 ① Complete venting of anger, maybe the creator doesn't know what he wants to shoot, so he can only vent the darkness blindly. In the era of no "master", the only way to make a movie is to rely on weirdness and bias to win, so the director chose to make a mental journey of such a role. It's a pity that this year is a big year for movies. The Joker really can't win any awards except for the best male lead. The Golden Lion Award is too prestigious, maybe the competition is too weak. Movie clowns with the same theme as Parasite can only be crushed. ②It borrowed a series of socially meaningful themes such as people from the bottom and mother and son, but it was a series of empty scenes. Except for the crazy swinging and laughing close to the characters, all the performances were "orderly", the so-called false big empty. ③I can't feel any character charm from this version of Joker, except for Joaquin's acting skills. The clown is just the mind of a pure dick. All his "achievements" seemed like an accident. Everything in Murray Studios was like a widow telling her heart, and I thought the clown would look handsome after dancing on the Queens steps, but it turned out to be a dick. ④The parade at the end came suddenly, completely breaking the previous playwriting of characters with souls. It's actually the biggest flaw in the film. ⑤ Shooting such a character and promoting such a value is actually meaningless. It is just a carnival in response to the rise of populism in the world. In a sense, it reflects the Hong Kong issue. influence of works. However, the director of the filming or the actor which is not the so-called "Murray" so-called "Thomas Wayne". Writing such a character is like winning an award for the sake of it. The social angry youths and the so-called clowns have killed their sanity.
