In 1976, Travis in "Taxi Driver" said: "Lonsome have I been all the days of my life." . . In 1982, Roy, the final leader in "Blade Runner", said before his death: What I have seen, you humans can't believe... All these moments will eventually be lost in time, like tears disappearing in the rain. The hour of death has come. That's what the prophet said to the unenlightened self at the moment. . . In 1995, the closing sentence of the supreme treasure standing on the tower in "Journey to the West" was: "Look, does that person look like a dog?" . . In 1997, in "Hua Huo", the police officer named "Xi" said, "However, there is no one who is forever lucky. We must embrace all the sufferings we are born with, sooner or later." That was a salted fish saying to your imaginary self. . . In 2000, Yang Yang in "Yi Yi" said: I think, I'm getting old too... That's what a lifeless child said to his dead self. . . - This thread has always been there. Sometimes life grows long enough to understand several other lives. . . In 1935, in "Modern Times", Chaplin had no lines. He used pictures to predict our era today. There's a song in it called Smile: Smile, but your heart aches; smile, even though it's breaking. Singing to the United States during the Great Depression, singing to Joker's doomed personality split. In 2019, Smile sang in the movie "The Clown", as if he was standing next to the meat grinder making sausages when he was a child, throwing the marinated meat pieces into the mouth of the machine, and then fantasizing about his fingers being twisted in. the kind of pain. Is this not? Everyone is delusional. In 2019, "Taxi Driver" star Robert De Niro, in "Joker", used the young Joaquin Phoenix as a time stand-in to kill the plump and proud future self. What's funny and what's not funny, isn't it all set by them? . . .

    Phoenix has provided abundant body and facial performances, which are instantly revealed, blooming deep in the soul, and spectacular. The effect is sure to be there. However, the overall text of the film is lacking in depth, the format is not enough, and the reflection and resistance at the ideological level are very high. It was empty and naive, and very routine, which made this performance a discount. The essence is still an IP movie.

    It's a superficial film, I don't understand why so many people applaud it. It's ironic that people who say good-looking are like people in the movie who treat a neurosis as idol worship. I have seen the tragic fate of the bottom people in the movie, but this movie is superficial and straightforward, deliberately and without depth. Blame their fate on the gap between the rich and the poor, and blame them on the violence of others. The same story is in a good movie, even if no one gives violence, life is just as bad. That's why the parasitic beast can get the Oscar.

    Arkham Psychiatrist: Do you want to tell it to me?

    Arthur Fleck: You wouldn't get it.

  • Murray Franklin: Well, let me get this straight, you think that killing those guys is funny?

    Arthur Fleck: I do. And I'm tired of pretending it's not.
