‘Joker’ first response

In my personal opinion, I would give this film a 9/10.

One scene that I really enjoyed was the subway scene with 3 murders. This is because it really showed a turning point in Arthur’s decent into madness. Before the murders, we saw Arthur laugh uncontrollably at a woman being abused, which shows a clear conflict with his humanity as he wants to help the woman, however as we already know Arthur will turn into the villain, Joker, showing his laughter could be unsympathetic, which poses a moral conflict whether we should feel sympathy for him or not. The moral conflict then increases as he murders the 3 abusers, because us the audience, we know death is a horrible thing, and Joker is a vile person, but there is still a part that feels sympathy for Arthur knowing his tragic background, and the reasons he’s doing it, which I love because it’s really up to the audience on how to interpret this scene.
