      ​@@dudetheman06 Comedians have the right to freedom of speech in the U.S. just like everyone else, the major problem is the level of hypersensitivity of the audience that many comedians are required to tolerate. Very few comedians make intentional offensiveness part of their act. Most of the ones That I have seen are using commonly offensive stereotypes to point out the ridiculousness of said stereotypes.
      Sarah Silverman got a lot of flack for a joke she told about trying to get out of jury duty and asking a friend for advise, the friend said to put something racist on the questionnaire like “I hate chinks” (a derogatory term for people of Asian descent) and Sarah says “Well, I didn't want to sound racist, so instead I wrote 'I Love chinks”
      Making fun of the clueless people who would think that the latter would be any less offensive than the former. Not allowing a joke like that, because some people's brains shut down anytime they hear a single word that they find offensive, and they do not listen to what is actually being said, is one reason for the backlash against the “social justice” movement.
      Jimmy Carr is notorious for his off color jokes, as is Anthony Jeselnic. They are both hilarious and poke fun at some of the darker situations in our world today. They are not so much trying to offend as entertain, and if you take offense you have the right to get up and leave, turn the channel, whatever. What you do NOT have the right to do is to try to shut them down for hate speech. That term doesn't belong in the American lexicon. Jokes are NEVER an excuse for violence!!!

      This is also consistent with the more overarching "back burner" plot of the movie where there is general political unrest and the people themselves end up using Arthur and hoisting him up as a hero of their movement; a movement Arthur isn't even really aware of and took no part in. So at least twice in the movie, Arthur is being used by others and it's a major theme of the movie.

    Arthur Fleck appears to have Pseudobulbar Affect (PBA) that results in involuntary, pathological laughter. It's hard to watch the character's desperation to appear 'normal' as he struggles to assimilate into a busy, working society only to return to painstaking isolation in his Gotham City apartment thereafter.
    Throughout the movie, it shows him bullied, targeted, and how he becomes better with someone in his life. Speaking from personal experience, I know what it is like to lack "social cues". Although he may not be aspie, autism comes with mental disorders like anxiety and whatnot. There's really nothing wrong with it. The worst part about having a mental illness/disability is people expect you to behave as if you don't 🥲🙂‍↕.
    I can understand why despite the critics giving this movie a lower rating, the people (comic book audience) gave this movie a 10/10 on IGN and won a ton of awards. This movie could possibly be a hyperbole on mental illness where the audience can appreciate the gathered message or discuss their theories on mental illness and, as an effect, the importance of neurodiversity.

    The first time I saw this movie, I left the theater practically in shock. The ending with the city on fire scared me because I felt like the US was headed in that direction at the time. One thing that stood out to me was how jarring the violent moments were because of how few and far between they were.
    I actually haven't seen this movie since before I got married and divorced. I'm seeing it now in a new light because now I've seen firsthand how messed up the mental healthcare system is, at least in my ex-wife's case. She can't work because of her mental health issues (supposedly--I'm not so sure that's true), so she relies on government benefits for money. As a result, she is on Medicaid because she can't afford health insurance, and her options for treatments and providers are limited. And her providers are incompetent, so they don't prescribe effective treatments. So, basically, she's stuck in a cycle where her issues indirectly prevent her from getting the treatment she needs for those issues. And the worst part is, her kids have also developed mental health issues because of how badly she treated them, and now they're in foster care and stuck in the same cycle of ineffective treatment.

      He murdered Randall, a man much larger than himself, in brutal fashion, and enjoyed it. He caused chaos on the train and danced when he saw the police being beaten. He shot Murray on live TV before skipping towards the camera and mocking it all. He called the chaos in Gotham beautiful, before dancing on a police car for a crowd of his followers.
      Yet I'm supposed to believe this guy starts the sequel as weak old Arthur and allows himself to be manipulated by a random groupie?
      Nope. It isn't consistent with who he was at the end of the first film. The first film was him being consumed by something created by trauma, that he'd been supressing for a long time. He accepted and enjoyed what he became at the end of the film.

    With the reveal that he imagined their entire relationship, Arthur coming into her apartment unannounced is this to Sophie and the audience. She's a single mother who has just put her young child to bed, only to find a man she's only spoken to once silently sitting in her living room, having broken in without her noticing. All she can do is calmly try to ask him to leave only for him to gesture shooting himself in the head, clearly terrifying her.

  • @retubey

    I personally leart a few vsry valuble lessons from this movie. I learnt to try to be more considerate, understanding, and kind when dealing with other people because you don't know what this person has been through. Maybe they had a bad day, maybe they lost something or someone dear, maybe they are not having their best day, they broke up or something similar. Even if someone random on a street lashes out at you or vex you somehow, try to tolerate it and just move on. It also raises awareness about mistreatment and bullying. Many people bully others and don't actually know that what they are doing is bullying. And this adds to the first one, you don't know what someone is going through or how their life is like; if they have conditions or if they have other problems (mental, family, friends, relationship, etc), so don't mess around with strangers outside as a form of joking thinking it's fun and games. People are not the same, not just physically but also mentally.. what you can take, others can't. If you got through bullying before, others can't. Moreover, it showed me (me at least) how different classes get different treatment. Not excusing Arthur killing those men on the train, but no one in the movie tried to listen to him, see, and understand that he was bullied and assaulted. Moreover, no one cared to listen or believe Arthur at all. One example is his manager not listening to his side of the story about what happened with the sign.

    as the real joker, not so much... since he's supposed to be actually as smart and meticulous as batman, and plan a LOT of stuff ahead, despite saying that he doesn't

    19:15 It was self defense up until he exited the train to hunt the last guy down. He turned from victim into aggressor at that point.
