Come on, Mur-ray. Practise I look like the kind of clown that could offset a movement? I killed those guys because they were awful. Everybody is atrocious these days. It'due south plenty to make anyone crazy.

The film provides not simply the socio-psychological genesis of Joker, information technology also implies a condemnation of the order in which a protest tin can simply assume the form of a new tribe led by Joker. ~ Slavoj Zizek^[one]

Joker: Knock knock.

Murray Franklin: Who'south at that place? [audition laughs]

Joker: It's the police force, ma'am. Your son's been hit past a drunk driver. He'due south expressionless! [laughs; audience gasps; musician in band goes "wah-wah" on trombone]

Dr. Sally: [unsettled] Oh no, no, no! No, y'all cannot joke about that!

Murray Franklin: [tense and somewhat spooked] Yeah, that's not funny, Arthur. That's not the kind of humor we do on this show.

Joker: Okay... Aye, you know what? I-I'm sor-I'1000 sorry. I know. It'southward just, you know, it's been a crude few weeks, Murray. Ever since I...killed those three Wall Street guys.

[the oversupply murmurs nervously and some of them even gasp]

Murray Franklin: [dislocated, but trying to stay in character] Okay, I'm waiting for the punchline.

Joker: There is no punchline. Information technology's not a joke.

[the oversupply gasps]

Murray Franklin: [a flake concerned and edgy] You lot're serious, aren't you? You're telling us you lot killed those three young men on the subway?

Joker: Mm-hmm.

Murray Franklin: And...why should we believe you?

Joker: I've got nil left to lose. Nothing can hurt me anymore. My life is nothing just a one-act.

Murray Franklin: So let me get this directly. Yous think that killing those guys is funny?

Joker: I do. And I'm tired of pretending information technology's non. 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 incorrect. The aforementioned way that you decide what's [points to himself] funny or [gestures over to Murray] not!

Audience Member: [aroused and annoyed] Become him off!

Murray Franklin: [now genuinely disturbed] O-Okay, I-I think...I-I might empathise information technology. You...did this to start a movement? To go a-a symbol?

Joker: C'monday, Mur-ray. Do I await like the kind of clown that could outset a movement? I killed those guys because they were atrocious. Everybody is awful these days. It's plenty to brand anyone crazy.

Murray Franklin: Alright. So that's it then, you're crazy. That'south your defense force for killing three immature men?

Joker: [smugly] No. They couldn't comport a tune to save their lives. [the crowd boos and jeers; Joker/Arthur grows frustrated] Ugh, why is everybody so upset about these guys? If information technology was me dying on the sidewalk, you'd walk correct over me! I pass yous every 24-hour interval, and you don't discover me! But these guys... What, because Thomas Wayne went and cried nigh them on TV?!

Murray Franklin: Y'all take a problem with Thomas Wayne?

Joker: Yep, I practise! Have you seen what it's like out there, Mur-ray? Do yous ever really leave the studio? Everybody just yells, shouts, and screams at each other. Nobody's civil anymore! Nobody thinks what information technology's like to exist the other guy. You lot think men like Thomas Wayne ever remember what it's similar to be someone similar me?! To exist somebody but themselves?! They don't. They think we'll all just sit there and accept it like good picayune boys! That nosotros won't werewolf and become wild!!

Murray Franklin: [trying to stay equanimous] Yous finished? I mean, there'southward so much self-pity, Arthur. Y'all audio like you're making excuses for killing those young men. Non everybody, and I'll tell y'all this, not everyone is awful.

Murray Franklin: Me? I'k atrocious? Oh, yeah, how am I atrocious?

Joker: Playing my video. Inviting me on the evidence. You just wanted to brand fun of me. You're only like the rest of 'em.

About Joker (2019 picture show) [edit]

This Joker's genesis is determinedly mature and uncartoony, compared to, say, Jack Nicholson'due south low-level crook Jack Napier falling into a chemical vat in Tim Burton's Batman, turning him into the Joker with white pare, green pilus and a rictus grinning. ~ Peter Bradshaw

This movie is not about Trump. It'due south well-nigh the America that gave us Trump — the America which feels no need to help the outcast, the destitute. The America where the filthy rich just get richer and filthier. Except in this story a discomfiting question is posed: What if i day the dispossessed decide to fight back? ~ Michael Moore

I don't think the Joker had free will, given his life. He was a walking time bomb waiting to explode—all it took was some significant life stress, beatings up, losing a job. You've got zero left.… The well-documented gamble factors—this was [the character's] destiny. No one is built-in into that kind of violence. ~ Adrian Raine

• We share each other's grief and try to lighten each other'due south burdens caused by that "one bad day." And and so we go along to grieve with and support the survivors and victims' families like those of the 2012 Aurora, Colorado, shooting during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises that killed 12 and wounded 70 others. Only, while their entrada against Joker and Warner Bros. may evoke our sympathies, information technology is counterproductive to their goal as it sets a bad precedent for activist groups trying to define the boundaries betwixt free speech, hate speech and violence-promoting speech communication.
  Withal, though I am supportive of their goal, this is the wrong movie and the wrong strategy to promote the fight for gun control because it creates a diversion. First, the strategy is wrong because it feels uncomfortably shut to passive extortion. Even though there is no call to boycott, they have cast a pall over the picture that is meant to exist damaging. No thing how Warners reacts, the damage has already been done. Even if Warners complied with their demands, the movie has been tainted in the optics of the average moviegoer. A photo of a Warner Bros. executive handing them a large check wouldn't change that. In that location's therefore no incentive for the studio to comply. In fact, co-ordinate to a Warner Bros. statement in response: "Our company has a long history of donating to victims of violence, including Aurora, and in contempo weeks, our parent company joined other business organization leaders to telephone call on policymakers to enact bipartisan legislation to address this epidemic."
  2nd, Warner Bros. and Joker are the incorrect focus of attention, which further compromises the group'southward goal. Despite their claim that "we back up your correct to free speech and free expression," launching this campaign around a flick — specially one like this that strives to exist more creative than exploitative — can have a spooky effect on free expression.

• This Joker's genesis is determinedly mature and uncartoony, compared to, say, Jack Nicholson's low-level cheat Jack Napier falling into a chemic vat in Tim Burton's Batman, turning him into the Joker with white skin, green hair and a rictus grinning. (The look of DC's Joker was originally inspired by Conrad Veidt in the 1928 silent classic The Man Who Laughs, a human being whose confront was disfigured into a grin by his father'southward political enemies.)
  There is no reason why Phoenix's elaborately backstoried Joker shouldn't be every bit powerful every bit Heath Ledger'south mysterious, motiveless, originless Joker in The Night Knight. Merely at some stage the comic-book world of supervillaindom has to exist entered, and Ledger was more powerful because he wasn't weighed downwardly with all this realist detail and overblown ironic noir grandeur, and he wasn't forced to conduct an unabridged story on his own. This Joker has just one act in him: the first act. The film somehow manages to exist badly serious and very shallow.
  • Peter Bradshaw, "Joker review – the well-nigh disappointing motion-picture show of the twelvemonth ", The Guardian, (Oct 3, 2019).

• Joaquin Phoenix renders the iconic villain on an intimate, homo scale in Joker, a disturbing motion picture near one man'southward psychological destruction and a urban center's descent into criminal anarchy.
  • Justin Chang, "'Joker': A Piercing Psychological Portrait Of Batman's Notorious Nemesis", Fresh Air, NPR, (Oct three, 2019).

• Phoenix makes Arthur an uncommonly vivid monster. His performance is a symphony of scowls, howls, grins, grimaces and, of grade, those endless fits of laughter. Information technology's a big, grotesquely showy piece of acting, just y'all tin't take your eyes off him.
  • Justin Chang, "'Joker': A Piercing Psychological Portrait Of Batman's Notorious Nemesis", Fresh Air, NPR, (October three, 2019).

• But as convincingly gritty as it looks, "Joker" falters in its attempt to conjure a properties of social unrest. Nosotros hear news of a ascension in violent criminal offence and anti-rich sentiment aimed at billionaire tycoons like Thomas Wayne, whose son Bruce Wayne volition, of course, grow up to become Batman himself. But these stabs at political relevance feel by and large coy and disengaged.
  • Justin Chang, "'Joker': A Piercing Psychological Portrait Of Batman's Notorious Nemesis", Fresh Air, NPR, (October 3, 2019).

• I think that it's important to really look at those individuals who are suffering from mental affliction and really endeavour to detect some love and empathy for these people. For me, the themes in that movie were empathy and feeling sad and compassionate for that character.
  • Emma Tillinger Koskoff in Producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff on Emotional Themes of 'Joker': "I Know Information technology's Very Controversial", by Ciara McVey, Hollywood Reporter, (11/23/2019)

• Merely what condition? Could information technology exist pseudobulbar affect, which is neurological in origin and gives rise to uncontained laughing and crying? Under stress, Arthur certainly breaks into a hyena'southward cackle, which stops as abruptly as information technology starts; he likewise weeps, and, in closeup, we follow the tracks of the tears on his clown's white-painted face. (I haven't seen such artful drips since 1971, when Dirk Bogarde's pilus dye melted, forth with his soul, at the end of "Death in Venice.") The motion-picture show, however, takes no serious involvement in what might be wrong with Arthur. It merely invites us to sentinel his wrongness grow out of command and corking into violence, and proposes a vague connectedness between that private swelling and a wider social malady. "Is information technology just me, or is it getting crazier out there?" he asks. Judge what: it's both!
  • Anthony Lane, "Todd Phillips's "Joker" Is No Laughing Thing", The New Yorker, (September 27, 2019, published October 7, 2019)

• What is agreed upon, among those who have seen "Joker," is the prowess with which Phoenix holds information technology all together. His confront may go the greasepaint, only it'due south his whole body, coiled upon itself like a jump of flesh, from which the movie'southward free energy is released. He's then thin that, when he strips to the waist and bends, his spine and shoulder blades jut out from the skin; is he a fallen affections, with his wings chopped off, or a skeleton-in-waiting, halfway to the grave? Francis Bacon, I think, would have stared at Arthur with a hungry middle.
  • Anthony Lane, "Todd Phillips'due south "Joker" Is No Laughing Matter", The New Yorker, (September 27, 2019, published October 7, 2019)

• "Joker" is no superhero nor supervillain nor comic book movie. The film is prepare somewhere in the tardily '70s in Gotham City, and Phillips makes no attempt to disguise information technology for annihilation other than what information technology is: New York Urban center, the headquarters of most real-life villainy: the rich who dominion us, the banks and corporations for whom we toil, the media which feeds us a daily diet "news" they think we should absorb.
  This pic is not about Trump. Information technology's about the America that gave usa Trump — the America which feels no demand to help the outcast, the destitute. The America where the filthy rich simply get richer and filthier. Except in this story a discomfiting question is posed: What if i twenty-four hours the dispossessed decide to fight back?
  • Michael Moore, "'Joker': Michael Moore Writes Tribute to Todd Phillips' 'Cinematic Masterpiece'", variety,(December xviii, 2019 )

• For 42 years, I've studied the cause of criminal offence and violence. And while watching this film, I thought, Wow, what a revelation this was. I need to buy this motion-picture show down the road, make excerpt clips of it to illustrate […] It is a groovy educational tool about the making of the murderer. That threw me. I talk about all of these factors in the class, and honestly, it's really hard to get a true-life story that fits all of these pieces together, permit solitary a very dramatic and stylized motion picture that illustrates these factors quite strongly. That was actually a revelation.
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Swell Educational Tool", (October xiv, 2019).

• Physical abuse is on the list, equally is neglect and malnutrition as a kid. Existence brought up in poverty is a adventure factor. He's adopted, and kids who are adopted are two to iii times more likely to go criminal…certainly twice the rate of violence is well established. If you lot're wondering why that is, it's because with adoptions, the infant is separated from the mum for fourth dimension—and that is breakage of the mother-infant bonding procedure in a critical menses that we know affects personality development down the road.
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Great Educational Tool", (October 14, 2019).

• [T]he link between mental health problems and violence is, of course, controversial. We don't want to stigmatize mentally ill people every bit being dangerous people. But nosotros do know that mental illness is a significant predisposition to violence, which we take to recognize and so that people can be treated.
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Peachy Educational Tool", (Oct fourteen, 2019).

• Mentally ill people don't go around series-killing people—plotting a homicide or a bank robbery or a burglary. No, they react on impulse emotionally. It's impulsive and emotion-driven." And in the film, Raine pointed out, all of Arthur'south violence seemed authentic to him because it was "reactive assailment."
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Great Educational Tool", (October 14, 2019).

• I don't retrieve the Joker had gratuitous will, given his life. He was a walking time flop waiting to explode—all it took was some significant life stress, beatings upwardly, losing a task.
