The wound is real. The film is too in love with the man who answers it with a gun. Leave it.
Take controlThis scores 24. Joker cannot be blocked by name on this shelf. The lock is the phone. Block it
The review
Arthur is poor, sick, and mocked, and none of that is fake. A serious film could have stayed with the failure of a city to care for him. This one cannot resist the moment he becomes a symbol, because the symbol sells. The dance on the stairs is the tell. Suffering has been restyled as charisma.
Do not watch it to understand a lonely man. You will come away understanding a costume. If someone in the house already loves it, ask what it taught them to do with a grievance. If the answer is 'be seen,' ask seen by whom, and at whose expense.
Journal
Keep Joker in the record.
No house has filed a sentence for this yet.
Live Historic number 24. Yours can differ.
The glance
Industry and Household and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Truth and Stewardship are the thin ones.
Does anyone here do a real job, and does that job matter?
This phone is set for a grown person, just me. Change the ages.
Consider this
Chicago
36 instead of 24
Chicago is still a drama film, and it scores 36 instead of 24. What you gain is truth: It tells the truth that the crowd would rather be entertained than just.
The eight
- 4Industry
A clown's job, a failed comic, a city that has stopped funding the care he needed.
- 2Household
A mother and a lie about his father. No house survives him.
- 1Piety
No reverence. The staircase dance is the worship.
- 3Courage
Nerve without a good end. He kills, and the killing is the self he wanted.
- 3Republic
Gotham is corrupt, and the film uses the corruption as a permission slip.
- 1Temperance
The audience is trained to feel the murder as a release. That is the failure.
- 4Truth
Some of the city's neglect is true. The hero it offers is a lie wearing the truth.
- 1Stewardship
What it leaves a young man is a posture: hurt, then famous for the hurt.
