was overwhelmed by the news of the Joker movie, many people will definitely look forward to this movie.
"Is the clown really good-looking?"
"Why does this movie have a billion box office?"
"Why did this movie win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival?"
"I don't feel good too (very general) Ah!" What story did the
clown tell? One of the things that fascinates me most is what happened to Joker, and is he the son of Thomas Wayne?
Arthur Fleck is a "marginal person" suffering from mental illness. He cannot control his emotions and laughs involuntarily when he is excited, but this kind of laughter does not represent his emotions, but he Sick again.
Even if he is at the bottom of Gotham City, even if Arthur is impoverished, he can only rely on social welfare organizations to obtain drugs for mental illness, but he still does not give up hope. He takes care of his elderly mother and tries to become a qualified Comedian.
Although life is very difficult, but the talk show "Murray Franklin Show" on TV is Arthur's favorite show. He regards the host Murray Franklin as his idol and imagines himself another day Able to get his approval, so he worked harder and insisted on writing his own notebook.
But Landau gave the clown a gun. The boss and the other clowns knew that Arthur was sick. He shouldn’t have a gun at all. But Landau not only did this. After the incident at the Children’s Hospital, Landau He also secretly told the boss about this matter. Everything he did was to exclude Arthur and get the boss to fire him, and he was very successful.
Unemployment in this movie is just the beginning of Arthur’s complete loss of control. What really turned him into a clown was the successive tragedies. The subway incident was a reversal of the clown’s life. He vented his emotions angrily and gained. The love of the female neighbor, and later completed the most successful performance in her life.
The clown understood from the letter written by his mother that he was the son of Thomas Wayne, and he longed for his father’s love and decided to explore the real life experience. Unfortunately, Thomas Wayne was not Arthur, but told him: " You were adopted!"
reversed for the second time, Arthur's dark childhood: the
clown obtained his mother's medical records in Arkham Asylum, and he understood his tragic life. His mother became mentally ill and fantasized about his love with Thomas Wayne. Arthur was adopted and completely ignored himself in childhood. However, Arthur, who encountered endless darkness, became like this.
"But this is not the truth!"
Detail 1: Thomas Wayne licked his lips after saying "Your mother adopted you while working for us!" Every shot in the
movie has its meaning, so why did the director ask Thomas Wayne to lick his lips? He was nervous, he was lying, and he was eager to make Arthur believe his words, and no longer have anything to do with him.
Detail 2: Thomas Wayne's signature on the photo.
is reversed for the third time. Arthur Fleck’s real life experience:
clown turned to an old photo of Penny Fleck (mother) when she was putting on makeup at home. It can be seen that she was a real beauty when she was young. The back of the photo bears Thomas Wayne's signature. Because of his mother, the clown had never put on makeup before at home, so he had never been exposed to this photo.
The clown is just a mental problem. He is not stupid, but very clever, and good at observing details. The clown in comics often knows the truth faster than Batman, and Batman is one of the best detectives in the world.
Gotham City background setting:
Batman’s father Thomas Wayne is not a real good person at any time, he has a lot of dark history, and the Falcone family (the gang family that rules Gotham) Close contacts. In some old comics, the death of Thomas Wayne was planned by Falcone, and the man behind the plan in the new 52 period became the Owl Court.
Martha Wayne comes from one of the four major families of Gotham"The Kane family", so her marriage to Thomas Wayne is very important. It is more like a marriage between two big families. Thomas Wayne cannot abandon his power for an ordinary employee.
Thomas Wayne is the patron of the Arkham Asylum. He once forcibly sent those who opposed him here, and he is the defender of the upper-level interests of the standard Gotham. To put it simply, Thomas Wayne would rather build a high wall in Wayne Manor than help the poor civilians in Gotham City, because for the wealthy people like them, Gotham City will be chaotic. Nor can it affect their lives.
The dark experience of the clown’s childhood appeared in the newspapers. This is another reason why Thomas Wayne could not recognize each other. They could only send Penny Fleck to Arkham Mental Hospital, and the most important reason was her Become a "mental illness" because no one will believe what a mental illness has said.
30 years later, Thomas Wayne still resisted this incident because he wanted to run for the mayor of Gotham. This critical moment cannot tolerate any taint, and what he did that year was perfect, leaving nothing behind. The evidence, except for that photo.
Detail 3: Thomas Wayne likes to lie:
He mentioned the three young people on the subway in the talk show: "Good-hearted, well-educated!" In fact, they are three real bastards.
The second question is that he is a successful self-made man (perhaps a translation problem), but all DC fans know that the Wayne family has been entrenched in Gotham City for hundreds of years. He is indeed a successful man, but not Start from scratch.
When these details are brought together, we can infer the truth of the matter:
Thomas Wayne and Penny Fleck once had a secret love affair, because the identity difference between them is huge, they are fundamentally different. It is impossible to get married together.
Thomas once gave Penny a lot of promises, but he ultimately failed Penny because his real wife is Martha Wayne, she comes from a real big family, this is a force he can’t ignore, and Penny's love eventually became a victim, which is the real reason why she ignored the feelings of the clown in her childhood.
So when the clown understood his true background, he was completely in despair...
