One could just as much say that there’s a leftist moral lesson is about austerity–that Gotham shouldn’t have cut civil services and then all the tragedies could have been avoided.

It’s a bit of a cop out, but I do appreciate that the themes are all over the place enough to be interpretable. It is interesting that Joker specifically says “I’m not political” in the infamous De Niro talk show scene.

If you just find the movie immoral and whatnot, then don’t pay for it or give it a low rating and move on. But to say that bad movies should be banned, because it may inspire violence, still feels like a stretch to me. There’s nothing wrong with criticizing a film or any work of art, for any reason at all. Is 2019 really such a different time that society can’t handle a movie with such overtones? And to fair, there have always been violent movies about criminals with various degrees of controversy. Looks like that criticism so much in the media brought up was extremely overblown. Note that this review shall be divided into three parts below: on the subject of problematic issues, the actual content, and of the more comic book-ish implications.įirstly, there hasn’t been a real-life shooting inspired by this film. In any case, I shall share some spoilers. Has enough time passed to post a Joker review? Or, is it too late?
