The protest movement in the film doesn't shy away from violence, and that's very true. Yes, the frustration is understandable, and I want the audience to feel it. But I can't accept violence. I'm a total pacifist! And don't forget, clowns are real villains. Often, comic book heroes stick to their moral compass, like spiderman, when under pressure. When society loses morality, we must insist on our own morality. And that's what clowns don't have.

I want to be a crocodile when I'm sad, a skunk when I'm world-weary, a koala when I'm sleeping, and a blue whale when I'm meditating. Only in understanding and enjoying a certain dusk, watching the burning clouds, only occasionally want to become a person.
In fact, anyone who knows the DC films knows that the joker is a popular superhero, but he is a villain from beginning to end. His ruthless methods and crazy ideas have become his foundation, and he is also the mortal enemy of the righteous batman. Clown is not purely a villain, however, is more like the struggle of a sick society, active in the clown Gotham is challenging all crazy rules system, especially the film "the clown" is about a pure kind person how to be a demon of abnormal condition, may say is the ugly social reality has created a clown.
"The joker" surpassed deadpool 2's $785 million to become the new r-rated film with its latest box office record of $788 million. As usual, deadpool's Ryan Reynolds posted a photo congratulating joker for the "handover of the crown."The joker is either a super British movie or a crime film featuring ordinary citizens at the bottom of the street. It is also probably the most profound analysis of human nature in all the marvel DC movies in recent years. A dark, damp road, a trash-strewn street, a riot on the verge of breaking out, these circumstances, together with a miserable life, a bad day, are enough to drive a poor honest man into the abyss, to turn a little from rational goodness into stupor and madness, every step of which is believable.
He is already considered an Oscar candidate for his performance in "the joker" : Joaquin Phoenix tells an interview about his character Arthur Fleck's laughter and pain, the release of magic, and the pleasure of the evil man. No other Hollywood star knows how to show someone in pain like joaquin phoenix. As the joker Arthur flake, he's even a bit bigger in Todd Phillips's movie of the same name. He appeared in an interview in west Hollywood wearing jeans, a jumper and sneakers. During the conversation, he showed great gratitude and assured again and again how satisfied he was with the film and his own life.
Do you think the joker is a political movie? Does it really raise the issue of social inequality? That's what got me interested in the whole thing! These important questions are sure to be asked, but instead of telling the audience what to think, the film leaves people to find their own answers. This is what the audience is supposed to do now, and I don't want to sway the audience's opinions with my own! It's not a typical comic-book movie, and there's no clear distinction between the good guys and the bad guys. I don't mind, and I love watching it, but for me personally, it should be more complex and real, and really thought-provoking.
Arthur flake was certified to be seriously mentally ill and had to be treated. Have you done a lot of research on these diseases?Not really. It was always difficult for me to do that because I didn't want to affect the viewer's perspective too much. But the movie takes place in a time when antidepressants and their science are relatively new. Arthur was not taken care of. Instead, he began taking drugs from an early age. His signature feature: he had a traumatic adolescence that he didn't remember. What's more, he lacks opportunities to communicate with others and show his feelings. For me, Arthur never suffered from mental illness. It was, I think, a stigma that had been attached to him throughout his life.Arthur flake was the accidental symbol and mascot of the new protest movement. Why do we love and fear this clown? What makes people so obsessed with the character? I don't know. Maybe everyone feels differently, too? For me, I am fascinated by the irreverence shown by clowns. We are always told, as children, to be ourselves. But what if our selves are destructive? This release of clowns may be the attraction. When he accepts himself as he is, he looks so cool. Until then, he was nothing but a zombie... I've lost a lot of weight for a movie role before and vowed never to do it again. When I studied Arthur's medication, weight change was the most common side effect. Either gain a lot of weight or lose it. I decided to put on weight at first because it was so much easier. But Todd phillips stopped me, and he said, "no, you have to lose weight." (laughter) On this point, his words played a decisive role. So Arthur was malnourished and overmedicated.
