Dominique Lorro said in "Simple Art": "Where you can live, you can live happily."
However, for people living at the bottom, they can live. It is also an extravagant hope, not to mention living happiness.
Let’s first feel the words of the male protagonist:
"Is it too delusional, or the world is going crazy?"
"In my life, I can't perceive my existence."
"I only Hope, my death is more valuable than my life."
The hottest blockbuster film "Joker" of 2019 is a crime drama film directed by Todd Phillips and starring Jacques Phoenix. The film tells the story of a man from the bottom of society who has been forced into a schizophrenic and inhumane clown after experiencing a series of things such as being bullied by gangsters, co-workers, and deceived by his mother. The story of
took place in Gotham City, USA in 1980, a city on the brink of chaos. Due to the Great Depression, the disparity between the rich and the poor was too large, and the workers began to strike. The entire city, even the rich areas, was full of garbage, smelly, and rodent infestation. The people at the bottom are in dire straits.
1. The tragic life of Arthur the clown
Arthur is a low-level little figure. Because he suffered psychological trauma as a child, he got a disease that would laugh out loud at any time. He regularly went to the psychological counseling center to receive free psychological treatment, but even if he took 7 kinds of drugs at the same time, he still couldn't control his laughter. He is extremely introverted and unsocial. Joker is his job.
He always thought that he could make others laugh, but that was not the case. On the bus going home, he tried to make a little girl laugh, but was yelled at by the child's mother as being crazy. After finally getting a chance to perform, he stood on the stage and couldn't help laughing. He went to the Children's Hospital to perform a show, but the gun fell out accidentally and was fired by the company. The joke he told on stage, the idol Murray publicly mocked as "clown."
Although life is very hard, but he has love in his heart, he fell in love with his neighbor Sophie. Although
lives in a difficult situation, he takes care of his mother with all his might. Although
is poor, he still has self-esteem, and he does not want his mother to write to Wayne for help. Life is not easy for
, but unfortunate things come one after another:
① At the beginning of the film, a group of underage punks not only snatched his billboard, but also beat him to the ground.
② Because the gun fell out during the performance at the Children’s Hospital, the company wanted to fire him. However, his colleague Landau sent the gun to him, but he was unwilling to intercede for him and shirk the matter.
③ On the subway, three Wall Street men molested a single woman, and the woman looked at him for help. He laughed out of fear and nervousness. The three men fisted him.
④ Due to insufficient budget, the psychological counseling institution was closed by the government, and the medication was also cut off.
⑤ Arthur hoped to go to Wayne's house to find his biological father, but was told that his mother was mentally ill, and that he was an adopted child, and was abused by his mother when he was a child.
⑥ Arthur only hoped to get a hug from Wayne, or an affirmation, but the other party punched him severely and warned him not to approach his son.
⑦ Lost and desperate, he finally confirmed the news of his mother in the archives.
2. The self-salvation of the clown
Zhang Ailing has a sentence in "Love in the Fallen City": "If you know me before, then you will forgive me now."
countless times, Arthur imagined himself and his idol, Morrie Performing on the same stage received thunderous applause. He fantasized about kissing Sophie passionately. He hopes that the government will value the lives of the people at the bottom, just like the three Wall Street scumbags. Hope always burst like a soap bubble.
You can find another job if you are out of work, and you can talk again if you are broken in love. But if the whole world doesn’t love itselfHow should we redeem ourselves?
Have you ever seen moths fighting fire? The moth that was born in the darkness finally burned itself to death in the fire. When it turned to ashes, it actually showed a redeemed expression...Like a moth, continuing to sink, it was Arthur's self-salvation. After
shot and killed three Wall Street scumbags, he danced wildly in the bathroom, showing a confident smile. Because the gap between the rich and the poor is too large, people have completely different views on this shooting. The wealthy class represented by Wayne thinks this is "naked jealousy." The people at the bottom of society regard the clown as a hero, and have followed his example in wearing a clown mask. Even Sophie said: "I think he is a hero." Arthur, who had been wronged all his life, was greatly satisfied in the praise and recognition of people.
Then, he smothered his mother with a pillow. It seems that this is the only way to cure his ridiculous laughter and the loneliness of his life.
When he was putting on makeup for Murray's talk show, two colleagues came to visit. With a grudge against losing his job, he brutally killed Landau, but kissed the dwarf who had never done anything wrong, and opened the door to let him leave. The climax of the movie
is here! On Murray's live broadcast, Arthur not only admitted that he was the murderer of the subway shooting, but also complained to Murray for social injustice. However, the two people with different positions were unable to talk after all, and an angry Arthur shot Murray in the forehead. Through live television, this matter is widely known, and the "clowns" of the whole society are boiling. They put Arthur away and regarded him as the hero of the city. Those violent souls completely burned the entire city. In a corner of the city, the followers of the clown shot and killed the Waynes.
Arthur danced on the roof of the car, and used the blood on his mouth to make up a laughing makeup. Tonight, he is the protagonist. Is the protagonist of his own life, the protagonist of this city. Joker, officially debuted. And he, in Zhongxing Pengyue, seemed to be reborn. Even the police say: "Look, it's all because of you. What is the chaos of this society?"
3. Happy people use childhood to heal their lives, unfortunate people use their lives to heal their childhood
There is a sentence at the end of the film: "Happy People use their childhood to heal their lives, and unfortunate people use their lives to heal their childhood.” Looking back at Arthur’s life, when he was a child, if he had not been abused by his mother, he might not have gotten sick; if his mother had not repeatedly emphasized, he was a comedian. His life is to bring laughter to everyone, and he will not stubbornly think that he can only be a clown. Childhood is the "native family" of his tragic life. His mother told him personally that he was Wayne's illegitimate child, but he did not expect this to be a big lie. What is the last straw that overwhelms the camel? It is his only reliance and trust-the disappearance of maternal love.
Everyone’s childhood has a great influence on him. If childhood is happy, his personality must be more perfect. On the contrary, if childhood is unfortunate, the defects of personality will be more prominent.
The great Russian writer Gorky, although he suffered family changes when he was a child, he had a gentle and kind grandmother. She often tells fairy tales and poems about God. She is hardworking, brave and selfless in life. These have had a great impact on Gorky's life.
Before the age of twenty-five, Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, had the deepest feeling about life: hunger. It is said that he often dreamed of big fish and meat in front of him during his life, but when he reached out to catch it, all the food suddenly disappeared. After he became the throne, he told the ministers many times how hard the life of the peasants is and taught them to care and love peasants. Many strategies for governing the country are also based on the interests of the peasants, hoping that the people all over the world will eat their food.
When Helen Keller was over a year old, a sudden high fever made him deaf and dumb. Fortunately, he has a warm and happy family. When she was 6 years old, her parents invited Teacher Sullivan to teach her to read, read, and be a person in a special way for deaf-mute people and super patience. In the end, Helen Keller finished university like a normal person, made great contributions to the cause of the disabled, and became a world-renowned blind writer.
On the contrary, childhood misfortune will harm a person's life. Among serious violent criminals in the United States, more than 70% have unpleasant childhood experiences and shadows of varying degrees. Among them, divorced parents, long-term quarrels, and crimes by parents occupy the main aspects. The Korean movie "Memories of Murder" was filmed based on real cases. The protagonist Li Chunzai committed a series of murderous murders, the root of which lies in his unfortunate childhood. These are enough to illustrate the importance of childhood experience.
love him, give him a warm and happy childhood! Happy people use their childhood to heal their lives, and unfortunate people use their lives to heal their childhood.
