the joker movie

One of the most-watched films of this year and of course the most controversial is the Joker movie. Dark movies that can make us think deeply. Maybe this movie is like a mirror of our society. Maybe our bitter life reminds us. Maybe it wants to warn us about the people around us. This movie will teach us a lot about life.

Points that the Joker movie reminds us of:

A clown's tears

Imagine how sad it would be if everything turned upside down. The clown whose job is to make people laugh is shedding tears. How much empathy do we have for people around us? When we see someone around us need help, the only way to help is to give him a gun? Maybe we should be a little kinder and kind to others. Look around you more carefully. Maybe someone is asking for your help indirectly.

Medical condition

The nervous laughter that we see by Arthur Fleck (Joaquin phoenix) throughout the Joker movie is a medical condition that no one understands. We all do not have a card with us to give to others that they understand our problem. Others also do not have a card. I know it's hard, but maybe in modern times, we need to talk more together. It's good I to mention here the beautiful fact of the film: "The worst part about having mental illness is people expect you to behave as if you don't."

Dance and stand-up comedy

The Joker movie shows to us that it is not always that things that look beautiful also have a beautiful and innocent backdrop too. In other words, beautiful things do not make us beautiful people. So it is better to be more careful because sometimes evil can have a beautiful appearance.

Happy

This film often refers to the concept of happiness. Arthur's mother calls him happy, while he is a very lonely and sad person. He wants to make others laugh, but over time he becomes a murderer. Do we know the meaning of happiness? Isn't it better to make ourselves happy before we make others happy? It might have been better for Arthur's mother to have a happy life for his rather than to encourage his son to make others happy. And Arthur at first thought of his happiness instead of deciding to make others happy as a comedian.

Facing the Truth

The Joker movie shows us that when we hide something from others, we have to be ready for everything. How much do humans endure when they find out the truth? Are they all ready to understand the scary reality that happened in their lives? Imagine you were the main character of the Joker movie; could you still have a normal reaction when faced with the dark reality of your life?? In other words, the Joker movie reminds us that it is better not to hide the truth from The people around us or to be with them when they find out the reality because the consequences can be very frightening.

Rape

Like many other films, The Joker movie shows how having a bad childhood impacts the formation of human personality, depression, and violence. Rape of children, Unfortunately, there is a high statistics, and it is very scary to know that its destructive effects remain with the person forever, and if left untreated, there will be irreparable damage to the whole community. This movie reminds us again to be more careful with our kids.

The illusion of good moments

One of the scariest moments in the film is that we understand that Arthur's only good moments with that neighbor woman were just illusions. In fact, it turns out he doesn't even has a good moment in his life. So sad if we understand all the sweet moments of our lives are just a dream and are not real? Appreciate the good moments of your life.

The opportunity to meet

That scene from the movie that Arthur finally meets with Murray after a long time is amazing. This was the opportunity that Arthur always dreamed of. If we had the chance to meet the person we dreamed of, would we use it properly or would we, like him, turn it into a disaster? It is good in any situation that we are in if we get that exceptional opportunity, control ourselves and take advantage of our golden opportunity to build our future properly.

Wickedness

Arthur was both a good guy and a bad guy in the Joker movie, but unfortunately in a society that lost its value, only bad things were seen. Arthur also wanted to be seen and liked to be cared for and admired by others, but he was only seen when he was evil. He was shown on television and talked about in the newspapers. Someone who just wanted to be a funny comedian came to ruin. So he decided to be a bad guy forever.

Become a murderer

Let's ask ourselves how much of a role we have in shaping a murderer. What do we do with those around us, and they violently return our abuses to us. Sometimes it is good to look for the cruelty that others do to us. Look at our behavior so as not to sacrifice others or to sacrifice ourselves. This film shows well that both the murderer and the victim are both injured. From now on, think more about how we interact with kids, with colleagues, with parents, and with strangers.

What do you think? What did you learn from the film Joker?
