Arthur Bit / Joker [edit]

The worst part of having a mental disease is people wait you lot to carry every bit if you don't.

• [written in notebook] The worst part of having a mental illness is people expect you to behave every bit if y'all don't.
• [written in notebook] I but hope my death makes more cents than my life.
• You know what's funny? You know what really makes me express joy? I used to think that my life was a tragedy...only now I realize...information technology's a fucking comedy.
• You don't heed, practice you? You just ask the aforementioned questions every week. "How'south your job?" "Are you having negative thoughts?" All I take are negative thoughts.
• [to Penny Fleck] You lot know, you used to tell me...that my express joy was a condition. That there was something wrong with me. In that location isn't. That's the real me.
• Is information technology but me.....or is it getting crazier out there?
• When you lot bring me out, tin can you introduce me every bit Joker?
• [to Thomas Wayne] I know information technology seems strange, I don't hateful to make you uncomfortable, I don't know why everyone is so rude, I don't know why y'all are; I don't want anything from you. Maybe a niggling warmth, maybe a hug, "Dad", peradventure just a chip of common fucking decency!
• I haven't been happy 1 minute of my entire fucking life.
• I had a bad day.
• For my whole life, I didn't know if I even actually existed. Simply I do. People are starting to notice.

Dialogue [edit]

Come on, Mur-ray. Do I expect like the kind of clown that could start a movement? I killed those guys considering they were atrocious. Everybody is atrocious these days. It'due south enough to make anyone crazy.

The film provides not just the socio-psychological genesis of Joker, information technology also implies a condemnation of the social club in which a protestation can only assume the class of a new tribe led by Joker. ~ Slavoj Zizek^[ane]

Joker: Knock knock.

Murray Franklin: Who's at that place? [audience laughs]

Joker: It's the police, ma'am. Your son'due south been hit by a boozer driver. He's expressionless! [laughs; audience gasps; musician in band goes "wah-wah" on trombone]

Dr. Sally: [unsettled] Oh no, no, no! No, y'all cannot joke most that!

Murray Franklin: [tense and somewhat spooked] Aye, that's not funny, Arthur. That'due south not the kind of humour we practise on this testify.

Joker: Okay... Aye, you know what? I-I'm sor-I'one thousand sorry. I know. Information technology's just, you know, it'south been a rough few weeks, Murray. Ever since I...killed those 3 Wall Street guys.

[the oversupply murmurs nervously and some of them even gasp]

Murray Franklin: [dislocated, only trying to stay in character] Okay, I'm waiting for the punchline.

Joker: There is no punchline. It'south not a joke.

[the oversupply gasps]

Murray Franklin: [a fleck concerned and edgy] You lot're serious, aren't you? You're telling us y'all killed those three young men on the subway?

Joker: Mm-hmm.

Murray Franklin: And...why should nosotros believe you?

Joker: I've got null left to lose. Nothing can injure me anymore. My life is nada but a one-act.

Murray Franklin: And then let me get this straight. You think that killing those guys is funny?

Joker: I do. And I'm tired of pretending information technology's not. Comedy is subjective, Murray. Isn't that what they say? All of you lot, the arrangement that knows so much, you determine what's right or wrong. The aforementioned way that you make up one's mind what's [points to himself] funny or [gestures over to Murray] not!

Audience Fellow member: [angry and annoyed] Get him off!

Murray Franklin: [now genuinely disturbed] O-Okay, I-I remember...I-I might sympathise information technology. You...did this to start a motility? To become a-a symbol?

Joker: C'mon, Mur-ray. Do I wait like the kind of clown that could start a movement? I killed those guys because they were awful. Everybody is awful these days. It'south plenty to make anyone crazy.

Murray Franklin: Alright. So that's it then, y'all're crazy. That's your defense for killing 3 young men?

Joker: [smugly] No. They couldn't carry a tune to save their lives. [the crowd boos and jeers; Joker/Arthur grows frustrated] Ugh, why is everybody then upset well-nigh these guys? If information technology was me dying on the sidewalk, y'all'd walk right over me! I pass yous every day, and you don't notice me! But these guys... What, because Thomas Wayne went and cried well-nigh them on Television receiver?!

Murray Franklin: You have a problem with Thomas Wayne?

Joker: Yep, I do! Have yous seen what it'due south similar out at that place, Mur-ray? Practice yous ever actually leave the studio? Everybody just yells, shouts, and screams at each other. Nobody's ceremonious anymore! Nobody thinks what it'south like to be the other guy. You think men like Thomas Wayne always think what it'south similar to be someone like me?! To be somebody but themselves?! They don't. They think we'll all only sit in that location and take information technology like skilful petty boys! That nosotros won't werewolf and go wild!!

Murray Franklin: [trying to stay composed] You finished? I hateful, there'due south so much self-pity, Arthur. You lot sound like y'all're making excuses for killing those young men. Not everybody, and I'll tell you lot this, not everyone is awful.

Joker: [coldly and quietly] You're awful, Murray.

Murray Franklin: Me? I'chiliad awful? Oh, yeah, how am I awful?

Joker: Playing my video. Inviting me on the show. You just wanted to make fun of me. You're just like the remainder of 'em.

Murray Franklin: [offended] You lot don't know the first matter about me, pal. Look what happened because of what you did. What it led to. There are riots out there. 2 policemen are in critical status...[Joker/Arthur laughs]...and y'all're laughing. You're laughing. Someone was killed today considering of what you did.

Joker: [giggling] I know. How about some other joke, Mur-ray?

Murray Franklin: No, I think we've had plenty of your jokes.

Joker: What practice you get...

Murray Franklin: I don't call back so.

Joker: ...When you cross...

Murray Franklin: I call up we're washed with your jokes, that's it.

Joker: ...A mentally-sick loner with a SOCIETY that ABANDONS HIM AND TREATS HIM Similar TRASH?!

Murray Franklin: Call the law, Gene!

Joker: I'll tell y'all what y'all get!

Murray Franklin: Call the police!

Joker: You lot Become WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE!!! [pulls out his gun and shoots Murray in the caput, instantly killing him]

[Joker/Arthur, in a police car, is laughing and chuckling at the anarchy existence spread to Gotham Urban center]

Cop 1: Cease laughing, yous freak. This isn't funny.

Cop two: Yep, the whole fucking city's on fire because of you.

Joker: I know... Isn't information technology beautiful?

[Arthur is laughing loudly during a psychiatric test at Arkham State Hospital. He soon settles downwards, but still laughs]

Psychiatrist: What's then funny?

Arthur: [laughing and chuckling some more] I was merely thinking...just thinking of a joke.

[shot of a young Bruce Wayne standing over the bodies of his expressionless parents as the camera pulls back and Arthur's laughter is heard]

Psychiatrist: Exercise you wanna tell it to me?

Arthur: [softly whispers] You wouldn't go information technology.

About Joker (2019 motion-picture show) [edit]

This Joker's genesis is determinedly mature and uncartoony, compared to, say, Jack Nicholson's low-level crook Jack Napier falling into a chemical vat in Tim Burton's Batman, turning him into the Joker with white pare, greenish hair and a rictus smiling. ~ Peter Bradshaw

This movie is not nigh Trump. It'southward well-nigh the America that gave us Trump — the America which feels no need to help the outcast, the destitute. The America where the filthy rich but get richer and filthier. Except in this story a discomfiting question is posed: What if one solar day the dispossessed make up one's mind to fight dorsum? ~ Michael Moore

I don't think the Joker had costless volition, given his life. He was a walking time flop waiting to explode—all information technology took was some significant life stress, beatings up, losing a chore. You've got null left.… The well-documented risk factors—this was [the character'southward] destiny. No 1 is built-in into that kind of violence. ~ Adrian Raine

• We share each other's grief and try to lighten each other's burdens caused by that "one bad mean solar day." And so we continue to grieve with and support the survivors and victims' families like those of the 2012 Aurora, Colorado, shooting during a screening of The Dark Knight Rises that killed 12 and wounded 70 others. But, while their entrada against Joker and Warner Bros. may evoke our sympathies, it is counterproductive to their goal as it sets a bad precedent for activist groups trying to define the boundaries between gratuitous speech, hate speech and violence-promoting speech.
  However, though I am supportive of their goal, this is the incorrect movie and the wrong strategy to promote the fight for gun command considering it creates a diversion. Outset, the strategy is wrong because information technology feels uncomfortably close to passive extortion. Fifty-fifty though in that location is no call to boycott, they have cast a mantle over the pic that is meant to be dissentious. No matter how Warners reacts, the damage has already been done. Even if Warners complied with their demands, the movie has been tainted in the eyes of the boilerplate moviegoer. A photo of a Warner Bros. executive handing them a big check wouldn't change that. There's therefore no incentive for the studio to comply. In fact, according to a Warner Bros. argument in response: "Our visitor has a long history of altruistic to victims of violence, including Aurora, and in recent weeks, our parent company joined other business leaders to telephone call on policymakers to enact bipartisan legislation to address this epidemic."
  Second, Warner Bros. and Joker are the wrong focus of attending, which further compromises the group'southward goal. Despite their claim that "we support your right to free speech and free expression," launching this campaign around a motion-picture show — especially one similar this that strives to be more than artistic than exploitative — can accept a spooky effect on free expression.

• This Joker'due south genesis is determinedly mature and uncartoony, compared to, say, Jack Nicholson's low-level cheat Jack Napier falling into a chemic vat in Tim Burton's Batman, turning him into the Joker with white skin, green hair and a rictus smiling. (The look of DC'southward Joker was originally inspired by Conrad Veidt in the 1928 silent classic The Homo Who Laughs, a human being whose face was disfigured into a grin by his father'southward political enemies.)
  There is no reason why Phoenix's elaborately backstoried Joker shouldn't exist as powerful as Heath Ledger'due south mysterious, motiveless, originless Joker in The Dark Knight. But at some phase the comic-volume world of supervillaindom has to be entered, and Ledger was more powerful because he wasn't weighed down with all this realist detail and overblown ironic noir grandeur, and he wasn't forced to carry an unabridged story on his own. This Joker has merely i deed in him: the first act. The film somehow manages to be desperately serious and very shallow.
  • Peter Bradshaw, "Joker review – the most disappointing film of the twelvemonth ", The Guardian, (Oct three, 2019).

• Joaquin Phoenix renders the iconic villain on an intimate, man scale in Joker, a agonizing moving picture about one human being'southward psychological destruction and a city'south descent into criminal chaos.
  • Justin Chang, "'Joker': A Piercing Psychological Portrait Of Batman'southward Notorious Nemesis", Fresh Air, NPR, (October three, 2019).

• Phoenix makes Arthur an exceptionally vivid monster. His performance is a symphony of scowls, howls, grins, grimaces and, of class, those endless fits of laughter. It's a big, grotesquely showy piece of acting, merely y'all can't take your eyes off him.
  • Justin Chang, "'Joker': A Piercing Psychological Portrait Of Batman's Notorious Nemesis", Fresh Air, NPR, (October 3, 2019).

• But as convincingly gritty every bit it looks, "Joker" falters in its attempt to conjure a backdrop of social unrest. We hear news of a rise in violent crime and anti-rich sentiment aimed at billionaire tycoons similar Thomas Wayne, whose son Bruce Wayne will, of grade, grow upward to go Batman himself. But these stabs at political relevance feel more often than not coy and disengaged.
  • Justin Chang, "'Joker': A Piercing Psychological Portrait Of Batman'southward Notorious Nemesis", Fresh Air, NPR, (Oct 3, 2019).

• I think that it's important to really look at those individuals who are suffering from mental affliction and actually endeavour to observe some love and empathy for these people. For me, the themes in that movie were empathy and feeling lamentable and empathetic for that character.
  • Emma Tillinger Koskoff in Producer Emma Tillinger Koskoff on Emotional Themes of 'Joker': "I Know It's Very Controversial", by Ciara McVey, Hollywood Reporter, (11/23/2019)

• But what condition? Could information technology be pseudobulbar affect, which is neurological in origin and gives rise to uncontained laughing and crying? Nether stress, Arthur certainly breaks into a hyena's chortle, which stops as abruptly as information technology starts; he likewise weeps, and, in closeup, we follow the tracks of the tears on his clown'south white-painted confront. (I haven't seen such artful drips since 1971, when Dirk Bogarde'due south hair dye melted, along with his soul, at the end of "Death in Venice.") The film, however, takes no serious interest in what might be wrong with Arthur. Information technology merely invites u.s.a. to watch his wrongness abound out of control and neat into violence, and proposes a vague connexion between that individual swelling and a wider social malady. "Is it only me, or is it getting crazier out there?" he asks. Approximate what: it's both!

• What is agreed upon, amongst those who accept seen "Joker," is the prowess with which Phoenix holds it all together. His face may become the greasepaint, but it'south his whole body, coiled upon itself like a spring of flesh, from which the moving-picture show's free energy is released. He's so thin that, when he strips to the waist and bends, his spine and shoulder blades jut out from the skin; is he a fallen angel, with his wings chopped off, or a skeleton-in-waiting, halfway to the grave? Francis Bacon, I call back, would have stared at Arthur with a hungry middle.
  • Anthony Lane, "Todd Phillips's "Joker" Is No Laughing Matter", The New Yorker, (September 27, 2019, published October seven, 2019)

• "Joker" is no superhero nor supervillain nor comic book movie. The flick is set somewhere in the tardily '70s in Gotham City, and Phillips makes no attempt to disguise it for annihilation other than what it is: New York City, the headquarters of most existent-life villainy: the rich who rule u.s., the banks and corporations for whom we toil, the media which feeds usa a daily diet "news" they think we should absorb.
  This moving-picture show is not most Trump. It'southward about the America that gave u.s.a. Trump — the America which feels no need to help the outcast, the destitute. The America where the filthy rich just get richer and filthier. Except in this story a discomfiting question is posed: What if 1 day the dispossessed decide to fight dorsum?
  • Michael Moore, "'Joker': Michael Moore Writes Tribute to Todd Phillips' 'Cinematic Masterpiece'", variety,(December eighteen, 2019 )

• For 42 years, I've studied the cause of criminal offence and violence. And while watching this moving picture, I thought, Wow, what a revelation this was. I need to buy this pic downwards the road, make excerpt clips of information technology to illustrate […] Information technology is a great educational tool near the making of the murderer. That threw me. I talk virtually all of these factors in the class, and honestly, it's actually hard to become a true-life story that fits all of these pieces together, allow lone a very dramatic and stylized picture show that illustrates these factors quite strongly. That was really a revelation.
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Bang-up Educational Tool", (October 14, 2019).

• Physical corruption is on the list, equally is neglect and malnutrition as a child. Beingness brought upwardly in poverty is a risk factor. He's adopted, and kids who are adopted are two to three times more likely to become criminal…certainly twice the rate of violence is well established. If you're wondering why that is, it's because with adoptions, the infant is separated from the mum for time—and that is breakage of the mother-baby bonding process in a critical period that we know affects personality development down the road.
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Groovy Educational Tool", (Oct 14, 2019).

• [T]he link betwixt mental health problems and violence is, of form, controversial. Nosotros don't want to stigmatize mentally ill people as being dangerous people. Just nosotros do know that mental illness is a significant predisposition to violence, which we take to recognize then that people can be treated.
  • Adrian Raine in Julie Miller, "Leading Neurocriminologist Considers Joker "a Swell Educational Tool", (October 14, 2019).

• Mentally ill people don't go around series-killing people—plotting a homicide or a bank robbery or a burglary. No, they react on impulse emotionally. Information technology's impulsive and emotion-driven." And in the film, Raine pointed out, all of Arthur'south violence seemed accurate to him because it was "reactive aggression."
