Introduction to the Joker movie

The movie Joker delivered a very intense performance, and while it is very exciting, the hero's character has more depth than needed. The actor's performance was extremely unique, and the psychological conflict inside the character is very complex. This complexity is what makes the performance so dazzling, as it's very hard to embody all of these elements in one portrayal.

Joaquin Phoenix's creativity has truly pushed boundaries, and I can confidently say that it ranks among the top five acting performances in film history. This talented actor has embodied all the emotions in a single character, Arthur, the troubled human being who was denied any natural rights by society due to his condition, yet was subjected to persecution, ridicule, and torture by everyone.

The difficult societal conditions are impacting many countries, leading to the emergence of many troubled individuals. Some can handle their problems, while others descend into chaos and madness. Arthur was under pressure from every direction and eventually reached a state of chaos.

We can say that Arthur is not violent or even prone to violence, but that was the only way for him to breathe and fill his lungs with oxygen again; his heart was burdened with thoughts and worries that could stop a herd of elephants.

Well, we'll show you the best scenes in this movie, even though it's really confusing because most of the scenes are marked by real magnificence and creativity.

Number One

When Arthur watched Murray's show, he imagined himself in the audience, and Murray noticed him. Arthur's voice rose from the crowd, and Murray told him he loved him. Murray then invited him to sit next to him after a quick chat, hugged him, and said he wished Arthur was his son. Arthur then returned to reality, a faint smile on his lips.

This scene conveys multiple meanings: Arthur's fantasies of escaping his tough reality, his lack of even basic appreciation, his deep belief that caring for his mother is sacred and as vital as life itself, and finally, the father who isn't present to comfort him and make him feel safe through all this pain.

It was a brilliant scene that displayed Arthur's positive side, if only it had received some recognition and attention.

Number Two

When Arthur was just fired from his job, he was riding the subway home, feeling extremely frustrated, when he was taken aback by three young men harassing a girl in a rude and sarcastic way. He tried to look away, but their laughter was too provoking.

Arthur's hysterical laughter, combined with his illness, took over, prompting the young men's laughter in response. One of them asked him what was so funny, but he couldn't answer because he was overwhelmed by laughter. They moved closer, and one of them pulled off his clown wig. The young man repeated the question, "What made him laugh so much?" Arthur tried to respond, but the young man and the others didn't give him a chance.

They tied him up with their hands, and the young man who had asked him took his bag and threw it at his colleague, who responded by kicking him. The young man was punched, knocked to the ground, and then they kicked him multiple times. Arthur drew his gun and started shooting at them, killing two instantly and only grazing the third. The third tried to escape, but Arthur tracked him down after he left the subway. Before he reached the stairs, he shot him several times, killing him immediately.

Arthur was gasping for air as he tried to gather his thoughts. He then started running frantically, as if haunted by ghosts. He looked around, then entered a public bathroom, quickly closed the door behind him, and stood watching for a few moments, his breath growing louder. He then began to dance slowly, finishing with his arms outstretched, as if he were climbing onto the stage and greeting his audience.

One of the most powerful scenes in the film, and a clear sign of a major change, is when the volcano of anger inside Arthur erupts, releasing his pent-up hatred to overthrow the world. What Arthur did was very logical, and I would even say rational and wise, because these young men saw his brokenness and tried to take advantage of it, since their hearts were dark and unjust. This is what Arthur saw in them, and it drove his violent response. Here, he was the victim, not the perpetrator.

I remember his reaction at the start of the film toward the boys who beat him up. He didn't react at all because their hearts were still free of darkness, despite what they had done to him. His response was rational and wise because he understood that what they did was just a silly prank by young boys.

Arthur's dancing in the public bathhouse was his way of briefly escaping his tough and bitter reality.

The scene deserves praise for the outstanding performances, especially by Joaquin Phoenix, as well as the skillful cinematography and camera angles, which give a deep insight into the characters and the events that brought them together.

Number three

This scene is called the scene of two shocks. The first happens when he finds out he is adopted and has been abused by his mother's friend since he was young, yet she doesn't react to this revelation.

The second shock occurs when he visits his neighbor Sophie, enters her apartment, and sits on her couch. She is surprised to see him there and asks about his unexpected visit. He explains that he had a bad day, spreads his arms like a gun, and points at his head as if shooting himself. This triggers images in his mind and shocks us viewers, as she has never paid attention to him, was never his friend, and was not with him in the hospital when his mother fell ill—at least, that’s what he imagines or sees in his daydreams. Then, the scene shifts outside her apartment, where he quickly leaves for his own place.

These were two consecutive scenes of intense psychological pain for Arthur. They hit him like a knockout punch in the boxing ring and also shocked the viewers. They carried several implications, the first being that his psychological state, which caused him to laugh, referenced his childhood.

A child exposed to such cruelty, violence, and pain would inevitably develop a kind of learned violence and hysteria in his interactions with others. Because Arthur was physically weak, it was his mind that drove him; sometimes he exchanged violence for violence, sometimes he escaped into hysterical laughter, and other times he turned to his imaginary friend, his neighbor Sophie, who represented the normal, everyday life that any person should have.

The second implication here is that he spent a significant part of his life caring for his mother, who, he realized, was no longer the same person. Instead, she simply handed him off to her friend, allowing him to do as he pleased. This eroded any sense of love and compassion he once had for others and unleashed his desire for simple revenge against those who wronged him. This is what destroyed what little good remained in Arthur.

The third implication involves the society surrounding Arthur. Wasn't it meant to protect him from such a mother and such a fate? Instead, it was complicit, like everyone else, in destroying this simple man who only wanted a straightforward, normal life like everyone else.

Number four

When he was in the studio filming an episode with the famous broadcaster Murray, it was a scene that featured a truly remarkable performance from Joaquin Phoenix, displaying creativity in acting, dialogue, cinematography, and direction. He had finally reached his dream, but at the wrong time. He had lost his kindness, his mother, his girlfriend, and his job, and now the golden opportunity had come to him. Instead of celebration, this chance turned into fiery anger and a show of his resentment toward society and how it treats simple, suffering people like him.

He planned, after talking with Murray, to end his life on live radio in front of his followers. But when Murray threw some sarcasm at him and accused him of causing chaos in the city with the three young men, and said he was making up fake excuses and blaming others for his failures, Arthur decided to seek revenge. So he shot him, seeing him as just another hateful person, like the others—someone trying to put on a show filled with laughter, even at the expense of simple-minded people like Arthur.

Arthur revealed the truth about his society, and indeed about all societies. The vulnerable or ill person is ignored, with no rights other than to face ridicule, anger, and violence from others. This is the true crime—causing chaos as an inevitable consequence of its future. You destroy the innate goodness in a person, strip away compassion, and deprive him of the right to a normal life.
