Yes, he is too violent. That's why he's considered a criminal psychopath that the authorities and citizens of Gotham want locked up for life.......The movie was great though
This is by far the best commentary on this film. Anywhere. You are actually one of the few that actually talks about this movie with a level head. It is a great piece of art , and the best film of the 2000s IMO. Is it too violent? I don't know, and I don't care. It isn't a government funded work.
You're on point!! Great movie, saw it today and I really liked that this movie was made to adults who has grown a human thinking. Many movies today are unfortunately watchable but you don't have to think at all... I liked also the bridge to Batman Begins. 👍🏻 Been for 35 years a Marvel fan and X-Men has always been my favorite because the back story that goes on and on, not at all times but most of the times. Thanks for the realistic thoughts about movies in general, they are and will be fiction.
In my screening when a certain character was suddenly shot in the head towards the end of the movie a woman walked out. The movie had not been that violent but it simmers with tension its entire running time. And this scene came quickly on the heels of a very graphic scene of up-close violence in Joker's apartment. I think the accumulation of those was just too much for the woman to take, and she had to leave.
I watch alot of violent horror movies ..and i have to say..something about this movie seemed really intense .i was at a screening in south africa and atleast 10 people walked out during the scene with the 2 friends ..imo .it felt super realistic .id rank it up there with some of the most hardcore movie moments
@@damonarchary1582 Also, that apartment scene ends on a hilarious visual gag that a lot of people would have felt uncomfortable laughing at. This movie pushes buttons and I love it for that.
I think the negative press about the movie is because of the film's message. When you take away the comic book villain, the movie says the system is broken and doesn't care about you, and the protagonist and those like him, found power in murdering the people in power. The people in charge like the Thomas Wayne think of themselves as good people but they can't "put themselves in other people's shoes," which makes them blind to other people's suffering. Arthur was constantly being told by his mother that Thomas Wayne was a good man. But when Arthur meets him, Thomas Wayne comes across as an arrogant violent jerk. So his mother was wrong, the people in power aren't good, they don't care, and they only want to help maintain the status quo which keeps them in power. The movie for me was also a social commentary, and reflects the mood of our times, ex gilets jaunes(yellow vests) in France and other examples but I don't to go into politics here. The poor of Gotham saw Joker as a hero. The city was a violent horrible place, where you could be fired for being beaten up. There's no empathy in the city, and those in power think things are fine the way they are. Arthur was a sympathetic character for most of the movie, he survived a horrific childhood, had mental illness due to his childhood trauma, and he was trying to be a decent person. But the things he placed his trust in failed him, his mother lied to him(or did she?) Didn't protect him as a kid, his therapist doesn't care or listen, the medications don't help and just make him feel worse, he almost gets fired after being beaten up on the job. Then we see his first act of defiance resulted in murder, but it felt good to stand up for himself. He's off his meds and he's becoming his true self, which empowers him. I disagree that DeNiro's character wanted to help him. He brought him on his show to mock him. Did he deserve to be shot? Absolutely not, but he was definitely punching down. Thomas Wayne and his wife didn't deserve what happened to them either, but my hot take is, I'm happy Bruce was raised by Alfred instead of by Thomas Wayne. I agree that the movie isn't too violent, especially when you compare it with other comic movies.
I don’t find his actions unacceptable.. doesn’t matter if I am capable or not .. I would kill a celebrity if i could get away with it or if I have nothing to lose .
I think it's a fantastic movie. I also don't have a problem with people analyzing it within the larger context of society in general. I totally understand the criticisms and I don't think they necessarily should be swept aside. I think this is just a unique situation with this particular story told this particular way with this particular character in this particular era that we live in. This movie was always going to be controversial. I am curious about its chances this award season. The criticisms will definitely be a factor. I doubt that Joker will win the major prizes (I'm betting on 1917 being the film to beat) but Joaquin Phoenix deserves at least a nomination and is probably the frontrunner right now.
The whole incel thing the media kept pushing was really weird to me. All I could think was "if being an incel means you can get with Zazie Beets, then......sign me up"
