The clown in this movie completely overwhelmed the bat. In the limelight, Heath Ledger won the supreme honor of best supporting role with the clown the following year. Unfortunately, Heath Ledger failed to make it to his podium. The film also soared to the top of the IMDb top 250 top list.
Now DC remakes the IP of the clown again. The movie has realized and refined the comic character of the clown, which is more in line with the temperament of a literary film.

smiles, full of sadness, background color
The clown is not a concrete person, he is a spiritual symbol in the era of the Great Depression, he is an agent of the marginal people at the bottom, a person who dares to resist standardized rules, a person who is not reconciled People living in a streamlined life, as the clown said: "What is funny and what is not funny are all defined by you"
This is exactly his mockery of the system, and what crushes the clown’s last mental defense. Perhaps it is not the same. It was so simple, but a series of malicious events accumulated together, and finally accumulated to his critical value, so the clown broke out all the negative emotions.
Clown’s ideal is to be a comedian. In fact, he himself is the most unhappy person in the world, but he must hide his grievances in his heart, pretend to be a strong smile, cater to the needs of others, and try to make others happy. . Despite this, the clown still failed to gain social recognition. Instead, he encountered wicked bullying. The more he tolerated the offenders, the group of people became worse.
The clown has received three insults before being blackened. The first time the billboard was snatched and destroyed by the gangster, he was beaten in a group. The boss not only did not pursue the gangster’s responsibility, but instead condemned the clown’s negligence. , Asked the clown to go home and go out of business. The clown was unwilling to leave. He continued to tell him the real reason for quitting the clown. It turned out that everyone would feel uncomfortable around the clown and felt that the clown was a strange species. This is the truth that the clown encountered the exclusion. the reason. The second time
was a trap designed by a colleague for the clown. Landau deliberately sold the gun to him, in name, so that the clown could protect himself, but in fact informed the boss. The clown took the gun into the children’s home, so the boss completely dismissed the clown. , This is the second time that the clown feels the malice from the world.
's third time was when the subway clown met three gangsters molesting women. His nerve-damaging laughter became a sick offender. As a result, several gangsters beat him up again. This time, the clown’s depressed heart was on the verge of collapse and finally Those who bullied them shot them to death.
carefully observed the clown's killing methods. He did not let anyone go, and deliberately waited for the last escaper after getting off the car, so that he could not be found out. The monitoring saw only a gangster disguised as a clown. So the clown's intelligence is not worse than others. The whole movie of
can be divided into two stages. The first stage is the clown before blackening. At that time, the clown believed in the beauty of the world and obeyed the standardized rules of society. Pretending to be a happy person, trying to make everyone laugh. The clown after
blackened
The second stage is the appearance of the clown after blackened. Since he killed the three people, he did not feel any guilt. Instead, he felt that the garbage was removed for the society, and the identity of the clown also caused the world. He is no longer the nonexistent rubbish before. He has become a hero in the eyes of the bottom people, rather than a joke in Murray's eyes. At this moment, the clown has proved his existence.
He always wanted to express his inner world to the psychiatrist, but the psychiatrist had never listened to his confession seriously, always perfunctory, and also actively asked to read Arthur’s diary, the real purpose is to be more Deal with Arthur accurately, until one day, the psychiatrist told him that the budget had been cut, and we would not be able to meet next week. All these things were caused by the clown murdering three gangsters and angering them. The clown's mood got worse and worse.
and the next three things completely crushed the clown's lastSpiritual defense. When he learned that he was Wayne’s illegitimate child, he went to see Master Wayne to confess his relatives, but he was not only humiliated by the other party, but also beaten up. At this time, he completely didn’t understand the world, and he thought about it. Only I was like this. , Or the world is crazy.
The clown became a spiritual symbol.
eventually found out that his mother was suffering from delusion. He had often abused him when he was a child. She had made up the illegitimate child. The clown realized that his life was originally a comedy. , Making people laugh and cry, the upper class’s indifference to him and Wayne’s unfeeling towards him all induced the dark side of the clown’s heart. He wanted to transform society through his own power, so he put on the mask of a clown, As a spiritual symbol, the clown did what he didn’t dare to do before. He personally killed the mother who always talked about Master Wayne, because he hated Wayne’s hypocritical people. They have nothing to do with the clowns. The life and death of people, they plundered most of the wealth of society and squeezed the surplus value of the poor, but used charity to maintain their dirty business empire, then went to campaign, and finally formulated more stringent rules for the bottom people.
In the end, the clown could no longer bear these hypocritical people. He put on the clown's skin and killed Murray himself on Murray's personal show, and publicized the demands of the marginalized people on TV.
And on the streets, there are people wearing clown masks everywhere. They are the products of social deformity. The Wayne and his wife were killed by a person wearing a clown mask in the street. It doesn’t matter who is under the mask, he What you do is important. At this time, the clown is no longer a specific person. He can be any marginal person at the bottom of society. Arthur created the spiritual symbol of the clown, and the spirit of the clown spread to the street like a plague. In the alleys, every clown vents his own demands. They are patients in the eyes of Murray and the group, and the name of this disease is poverty.
In the end, the clown was imprisoned in a lunatic asylum under the name of mental illness. He met his psychiatrist again. At this moment, he encapsulated his heart very tightly, because he no longer seemed to leak his wounds to outsiders. He gave those people The salt is sprinkled on it. In fact, the psychiatrist will not care about the inner world of the clown, because she is too busy to take care of people like the clown. This is the sense of non-existence that the clown feels.
