First of all, I saw some similarities in this movie. They all broke and stood up. After constantly breaking through the restrictions, they eventually became themselves, thus obtaining absolute inner freedom, the unity of knowledge and action, and the unity of heart and desire. Freedom does not mean that everyone has the opportunity to speak and the social moral values of those in power. I understand him, although he is fictitious, and the background story is completely different from mine, and he walks in a different direction and path, but I can feel that he is in conflicting ideas, in the three views. , The pain of being suffocated by the sense of contradiction in reality and self, the sense of blockage, and the new joy of his step by step from Arthur to clown, there is a total release of "finally found myself", which was originally dark in the movie The dominant tone of depression will become sunlight, warm tone and body dance.
Secondly, at the beginning of the movie, Arthur forced himself to put on a smile in the dressing room. Tears flowed down his cheeks. His heart felt more pain for the job of the clown. He is not a person who likes to laugh but can’t. Instead of laughing all the time, his mother told him, "You were born with a mission to bring laughter to this cold and dark world." His mother called him "happy" by the nickname. Although these expectations made him in pain, he kept on The world compromises. Arthur said that he hated going to school when he was a child. From his situation, it is not difficult to guess how he would be treated in school. He gave up his studies to take up the responsibility of supporting the family when he was very young. This also caused his growth experience to be separated from the crowd. , So he couldn't understand the laughter of the crowd in the small theater, and he couldn't empathize without having similar experiences.
Because those negative emotions continue to accumulate but cannot be released, the psychological counseling of hope is only a form in a depressed environment, which makes him more depressed and desperate. Drug treatment can only assist and cannot effectively relieve his anxiety. Se can only rely on the natural instincts of animals, violence and sexual desire to find relief. His notebook is full of elements related to violence and pornography. These most primitive desires make him rely on kicks after being reprimanded by the boss. Kicked the trash can, "punched a card" after being fired to vent his dissatisfaction. His violent tendency comes from his childhood violent experience. Children in a violent environment will have a violent tendency, and violence will only promote violence.
From the point of view of the movie, Jacques has a good grasp of the character and the details of the shooting are also very careful, but this cannot conceal the fact that the story of this movie is illogical. Killing three employees of Wayne Enterprise can become a hero of the people. What kind of abuse did the citizens of Gotham suffer to have this idea? The movie has never explained what makes Gotham’s class conflict so serious. And most of Flake's own tragic fate came from the betrayal of relatives and friends and others' incomprehension of him, not purely being oppressed by the upper class.
The suffering of the clown and the suffering of the citizens of Gotham are completely different things. There is no sympathy between them. The clown just transferred his hatred to people like Landau and Wayne with a peculiar logic. "They Can help me, but they don't, they don't care about me at all, so they damn", this is the behavior logic of the clown. In addition, the actor Jacques combined the "expressionist" performance method, expounding the state of the characters through body language. Under the weight of life, Arthur walked like a zombie.
is like a religious ritual dance after the murder, with a magical color; while the dance on the stairs when Arthur was born is very vital. The dance after the subway was not originally included in the script. It was the artistic genius of Jacques who made the scene, and it was Arthur's declaration. Jacques, gave his soul to Arthur, and then dedicated a legendary performance in movie history. Finally, the boundary between fantasy and reality in the movie is not so obvious that some people think that the whole story is Arthur's fantasy. I can't agree. In my opinion, these fantasies are for the audience to understand the character of the clown from multiple angles. Fantasy is another way for Arthur to comfort himself.
In this world, people will understand and respect each other, even for a marginal person like him, they can get the care and recognition of Murray. Murray will protect him like a loving father when he is laughed at by the audience. Will give him a round, I can still have a warm love, to accompany and comfort myself when I am sad. I believe that everyone has a similar experience, before entering an unfamiliar environmentBrain fill a situation that makes him comfortable. Arthur did the same, except that he is different from normal people and does not have the ability to distinguish reality from fantasy. This lack of ability makes Arthur always feel a sense of trance about life. He is not sure whether he exists, so he cares more about existence and reality than normal people.
