De siger at den ny Joker-film er The Passion of the Christ for Juggaloos

"Men hvad er en Juggaloo?", spørger du så.

Urban Dictionary ⟲ svarer hurtigt, Wikipedia ⟲ lidt langsommere og hjemlige Information med en 23-minutters dokumentar ⟲. (der rigtignok minder om Heavy Metal Parking Lot ⟲).

Hvad angår filmen spurgte jeg (ledende) nogle folk, der vidste noget:

"Vi ved alle at The Dark Knight Rises ⟲, Snowpiercer ⟲, og Black Panther ⟲ er meget positivt anmeldt affald, som ingen i dag magter at gense ⟲. Mindst af alle de, der roste dem og kaldte dem for dybe.

Mon det samme gælder Joker ⟲?"

De bedste svar var:

"Phoenix er hele filmen værd, han er så konstant fascinerende og original i sit spil, at man næsten tror at Arthur Fleck er et rigtigt menneske. Jeg kan virkelig ikke rose ham nok.

Det hele er sort-sort-sort, men alligevel sad jeg og småklukkede meget af tiden over hvor kalkuleret det hele er. Todd Philips er en ret elendig instruktør. Plottet og stilen låner så meget hos Scorsese at han burde krediteres. Det er jo bare  Taxi Driver/King of Comedy. Det hele er ret forudsigeligt: Fleck skal tæskes og ydmyges og ydmyges lidt mere indtil han knækker - og opnår friheden ved ikke at have mere håb. Det er nihilistisk på den gode gamle måde, men dollet op i en grad så det er lidt komisk.

Jeg forstår godt at det er en af tidens vigtige film. Og Phoenix er rigeligt 2 timer værd. Men stor kunst er det sgu ikke."

"This was one of the most middling films I have ever seen. It may have been fully bad, but I just graded it higher due to how great Phoenix is. It actually made a ton of sense; if someone had just laid it out bare, that the director of The Hangover series was going to make his version of King of Comedy but with The Joker, I would not have been so excited to see it. Todd Phillips’s comedic repertoire is a bunch of guys seeing a fat man in a speedo and exclaiming, “Okay, that’s just wrong!” Given a million tries, he could never make something as hilarious but uncomfortable as King of Comedy.

The movie had very little to do with the incel panic people built up around it. ⟲ The Joker’s main antagonist is the wealthy, and for good reason. He has fantasies about women, but he doesn’t seem terribly interested in laying clown pipe. At no point does he consider getting cosmetic cranial surgery. But everyone pinning this particular set of fears on this movie was incredibly predictable, as “incel” is one of those words journalists learned a year ago and have tricked themselves into believing they’ve known it their whole lives and can deploy it fluently.[...]."
