Not everyone is embracing the dark, ultra violent film that sees Joaquin Phoenix portray Arthur Fleck as the embattled clown transforms into Batman's most iconic nemesis One fan wrote "literally just walked out of a screening of Joker. Way too terrifying to be there with all this going on the way the movie glamorizes gun violence and mental health issues" There have been no reports of violence at screenings as police across the nation went on high alert and beefed up security at theatres with the exception of some disruptions at screenings. In Huntington Beach, one theatre cancelled two screenings after a credible threat was made In NYC police were notified after one male audience member sparked fears by SPITTING on others and CLAPPED LOUDLY when the Joker killed someone. One witness said "S*** was scary" Both Phoenix and direct Todd Phillips defended the film as Phoenix trusts the audience to know the difference between "right and wrong" Phoenix portrays the character as a bullied man whoafter living on the outs of society snaps and takes rvenge on those who wronged him Joker received a B+ cinemascore which was heralded by 25 and under audiences but received mixed responses from older audiences.

The mainstream media will make a fluff out of anything that can be sold to the majority, it just hypes up the movie that much more and the $$$ rolls in.
Anyway, those who have seen it, and don't have the mentality of a 5 year old, know that much much much worse has been released in theaters without the bat of an eye. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Strange how this film glamorizing gun violence is a step too far but films like John Wick get a free pass. Maybe the issue is that it asks questions of the audience... that question being "does our society somehow contribute to gun violence?" The answer to that is almost certainly yes and some people are uncomfortable with this. It's a lot easier to say "oh he's a nut" or "he's evil" and not have to deal with the uncomfortable fact he might just be a normal person that's had a bad run. --- Praxis Makes Perfect The only intelligent tactical response to life's horror is to laugh defiantly at it. ~Soren Kierkegaard ...

I don't disagree with your post. I'm more arguing about how simplistic the tweets are. As you've pointed out the truth is often a lot more nuanced than 140 characters allows someone to convey. I'd still argue that John Wick glamorizes gun violence more than this film does but you are right the motives are different between the characters. --- Praxis Makes Perfect The only intelligent tactical response to life's horror is to laugh defiantly at it. ~Soren Kierkegaard ...

Its about which character has the most potential to have a negative impact on people. I doubt that people relate to John Wick lol. But there are lots of bozos out there who are angry and discontent with their status in life and wish that they could make other feel like them. Thats the reason why the media was freaking out over the Joker movie.
