We've all heard it, said it, written it (mostly on books we think are weird), and done with those un pique to us. This time I got to watch it, not my first rodeo with a character who learns the true power of it and hopefully won't be my last time riding a crazy bull of a film .
The movie Joker is a great examples of the highs and lows that come with anything- a string of wins vs losses the wins at times minuscule as catching the train (or finding out you went viral for the day) to as monumental as finding out you were orphaned like a baby bird who fell out of a nest. Arthur Fleck couldnt be killed emotionally and sometimes physically by anything at times during this movie. That's he's been beaten down so often before and kept coming back from the brink. Counltess times in fact the director xxx had Joaquinjn Phonexixes character with his face mirrored on the ground to the floor like a fliunder. And a tick since childhood, a laugh that in cutting and unpredictable due to a trigger happening at any time in any ciurcumstance. That one would contitute a hard life forget being in mid to late thirties caring for you mental, ailing mother. because his flow state was so strong and his careless disposition on things that compared to what he's been through, justr don't matter.
The problem with Arthur in the first half of this movie is not necessarily him getting his butt kicked and negatives at any turn, don't get me wrong that's plays a role. But it's his passiveness in the situations when things don't go his way. Such as inheriting a gun from his coworker that seemed like it came from so far out of left field it could havbe been of Yankee Stadium.stadium
