Why is Joker a classic symbol in world cinema? 1
Jack Nicholson’s Joker is even better than the main character
Batman 1989 is considered by many fans to be the best Batman movie of all time because of Michael Keaton’s top performance in the black cape, but Jack Nicholson’s Joker is even more memorable.
This version of the Joker is the embodiment of madness and barbarism through barbaric murders with his `creative` `toys`.
Jack Nicholson’s Joker with a deformed face and haunting voice went deep into the subconscious of movie lovers at that time and they thought that Batman 1989 would not have been as successful if the actor had played this role.
Heath Ledger’s Joker is more than a villain
Heath Ledger’s wonderful transformation into the Joker in The Dark Knight has turned both of them into legends of the world cinema.
The late actor once called his character `A schizophrenic clown with a personality disorder, anti-social and an emotionless mass murderer`.
But perhaps, his Joker is not only that, he is always Batman’s number one opponent.
Heath Ledger’s performance in the film surprised the whole world. No one could have expected that a superhero-themed film could do so well, especially at that time.
A year later, the American Academy awarded him an Oscar for this once-in-a-lifetime role and it will always be Heath Ledger’s legendary role in world cinema.
Joaquin Phoenix’s Joker is both pitiful and disgusting
Joanquin Phoenix’s version of Joker is a story about class division in society, the insensitivity between humans and the true dark side inside each of us.
If it weren’t for Joaquin Phoenix, perhaps director Todd Phillips’s Joker wouldn’t be so excellent.
Todd Phillips’s Joker is set in a corrupt Gotham City, where trash litters the streets, news reports regularly report crime, and people’s living conditions are poor and miserable.
Through just a short conversation between Arthur and host Murray Franklin, the dark, shabby nature of Gotham was revealed.
Those are dogmatic words and false promises of the ruling class, most notably Thomas Wayne.
Domestic violence is also cleverly mentioned, through old documents about Arthur Fleck’s mother.
It’s people’s willingness to mock each other, with words that smell like personal attacks.
