Comment on The Clown

The clown is a masterpiece far beyond superman's expectation. It is not only a film focusing on the bottom, but also a social warning fable. When Gotham finally fell into the mire of riots, in fact, no one could blame the clown who caused the riots. The following is a model essay about clowns that I brought to you. I hope you like it!

Comments on clowns;

The most undisputed success of clowns lies in Jakun? Wonderful performance of Phoenix: He interprets the complex temperament of the characters particularly vividly, and has extraordinary accuracy in tragedy and madness, so that it reaches a disturbing level. Of course, this is partly because of the script's achievements in this role: it exists in every scene, and almost every scene is given enough emotion. And a lot of skills are used in shooting to strengthen the emotions conveyed by the performance: low illumination and large shadow lights, slow mirrors for solo dancing, Jie Kun? Phoenix's distorted expression, a few moments on the screen are very expressionist.

However, the choice of this one-man show has led to two serious difficulties or contradictions in the play: the first is the character image, that is, the particularity of the clown image and his emotional characteristics caused by his mental illness, which contradicts the "normalization" of the play environment and people around him; Second, on the theme of macro-purpose, it is derived from the first contradiction, which in turn highlights the first contradiction? That is to say, the handling of social protests and street violence movements, due to the reasons of perspective and space, the cause of social movements has been shaped into a simple binary struggle of "being rich and heartless, being poor and violent", with empty scenes and shallow inside. Because the clown is the totem of this violent struggle, and the struggle is mutually causal, the superficial treatment in turn damages the characterization of the clown.

Broadly speaking, the clown is undoubtedly the most complicated villain in DC comics (inseparable from Nolan and Heath Ledger's excellent creation). He is crazy with sadness, and the cracking of his mouth is just a wonderful externalization of his heart. But if I try to sum it up in the simplest language, I think it is antisocial. His belief and practice in the evil of human nature has reached the level of general belief, so it should not be a simple and direct disappointment to human nature after being hurt by others, right? If you doubt human nature because of disappointment, you should also believe in human nature because you see good deeds, and clowns are obviously the opposite of human nature. In other words, such a special and "meta-evil" image cannot be explained by such a reasonable and simple explanation as "special encounters lead to great changes in personality". First, it is not credible, and second, it damages the unique charm of the clown image. The processing in the film is too steady and gradual. At first, the children on the bus will be teased in good faith. After being cheated by a colleague, you will be angry but unable to fight back. Being bullied by Wall Street elites is the middle flashpoint, but after killing them, they will still panic until they find out that their mother cheated and abused them. The only bright color in life is fantasy. Only in this way will they completely collapse and become evil clowns. This treatment seems logical, but it is hard to convince the audience after careful consideration: the clown is such a bad guy, and his mental journey does not seem as ordinary as an ordinary murderer.

Therefore, the attribution of socialization cannot explain the formation of antisocial personality. Arthur's humble kindness's domineering over the clown's evil, if you insist on explaining it, might as well be attributed to the rustic dual personality, and finally Arthur was swallowed up by the clown. However, to rationalize this change with slow and steady personal experience is obviously to seek fish from the edge of the tree. The so-called times make heroes, and the birth or appearance of clown personality should be organically related to the violent social movements in the script.

This leads to the second question, because the perspective is limited to clowns, we only see great public resentment-Arthur killed clowns to become totems-the struggle is escalating-the birth of clowns led the development of the movement. As for the cause of the movement, the film simply regards it as the hardship caused by wealth and ruthlessness. How to upgrade sports? What role did the clown play in this and how did it become the symbolic image of the movement? We have never seen these, and this treatment is obviously superficial. For example, movies emphasize that there are protests outside, and rich people watch Chaplin laugh in luxury cinemas. It can only give people the impression of a political textbook, and the fat big bourgeoisie has no sympathy for the working people in dire straits. The clown was punched by old Wayne to wake up all illusions, and society and Arthur's disillusionment coincided. Social movements have only become the grand background for the birth of clowns, without any organic connection.

The improved methods are actually included in the plot setting, such as blurring some key plot points. In the image-building of a clown, don't simply say that his girlfriend is a fantasy. His life experience has nothing to do with Wayne. Slightly unreliable narrative, these two key points have no answers, and these two events have changed from a straightforward but unreliable explanation to a causal relationship with the clown's evil. Without clumsy attribution, the clown's incomprehension is more attractive. For social movements, the same method can be used: for example, a video shows a clown-like person doing something to inspire the poor, such as saving innocent demonstrators from the police's sticks, and then the official comes out to refute that the video is forged, but we don't know the answer, and we don't know whether the person in the video is Arthur himself. This unreliability provides a small foothold for the complexity of social movements and the complex interaction between clowns and them. This treatment can't be said to solve two contradictions, but it is at least an improvement direction.

Clown commentary model essay 2;

I almost cried when the clown ended. The reason is probably that the clown is almost out of the superhero universe with a clear distinction between good and evil. Gotham can be any modern city with both tall buildings and smelly sewers. The clown whose real name is Arthur is basically an ordinary person. Of course, there are still several familiar names in the film, Batman Bruce. Wayne, sheriff Gordon, but they are hardly worth mentioning. Therefore, although the film has become the center of controversy because of the rough reform and the Golden Lion, its free content and stylized form may disappoint the audience watching the DC universe. There are no superheroes or super villains here.

In Nolan's The Dark Knight, Heath? Ledger's clown is an extreme philosophical abstraction: unprovoked evil and reaction to order. "Crazy is like gravity, it just needs a push." He unreservedly reminded us of the evil hidden in our hearts, and let us find that pure evil can also be suffocating. Batman has something on his mind, but the clown has nothing to lose. So the clown became the person who hurt Batman the most. "Why is it so serious?" The movement he symbolized had a fundamental impact on the value system represented by Batman. In his difficult problem of two ships approaching the game of the dark forest, the dark knight had to defeat the clown's plan with the brilliant explosion of prisoner's humanity, thus giving an idealistic ending that was actually impossible.

Therefore, on the one hand, the clown in The Dark Knight is neurotic and abnormal, on the other hand, his thinking and actions are hardly the result of rational calculation. He accurately grasps human nature and releases fatal blows again and again. In this sense, he is equal to Batman, and he is by no means ordinary. Strictly speaking, we can't even say that he is crazy, because although he loves crime and is divorced from social norms, he owns and uses rationality.

The clown in the clown is crazy. There's nothing to spoil here. It tells a small transparent story that is not even a social animal, just like copying and pasting day after day, a life that is completely worthless by any standard of our time. In some scenes in the second half, you will think of the fight club. But it doesn't have the overlapping symbol of fight club? Ikea, mechanical reproduction, consumerism? Although some plots imply the gap between the rich and the poor, and the levels are very different, although Gotham is as dirty as a mouse hole, the clown is actually an absolutely lonely living state. It doesn't analyze the reasons, but only throws out the results: nobody cares about life without a ring on the gear, and nobody cares about life and death.

Arthur is neither a philosopher nor a revolutionary, but a poor man who can hardly speak. When he daydreams on TV, isn't he the same as everyone who daydreams with a mobile phone? His smile in the dream is more shy and naive than ours, because he believes it, but we don't believe it when the mobile phone is happy. He comes and goes by subway, as lonely as every tired and numb social animal on the night peak of Beijing subway.

The most prominent background of this film is Arthur's laughter. "Why do I always smile?" In The Dark Knight, the clown gives two versions of the answer. In The Clown, we find that on the one hand, Astle sincerely dreams of becoming a famous comedian and brings people laughter, on the other hand, he often bursts into uncontrollable laughter due to pathological reasons. When he worked hard, there was no laughter as expected, only people who walked by mechanically. When laughter broke out untimely, he was greeted only by incomprehension and disgust. Joaquin? Phoenix's laughter was so long that it seemed to spit out her soul at the end. Why don't we laugh anymore? At any time, laughter becomes a harsh noise. At some point in the film, the subtle difference between tragedy and comedy is understood and the clown is born.

As a little transparent, Arther didn't listen, so he stopped talking. So we keep seeing clowns dancing. Facing the nonexistent audience, practicing playing, playing, greeting and dancing are all extremely cruel in the slow mirror. At the end of the text is dance. When the language created by human beings cannot communicate, the desire to communicate and express and the cry of "I exist" break through the body in the dance. As people under social norms, we can only dance in certain occasions, such as alcohol anesthesia and music in bars. Clown, he turned the world into our stage.

We have seen little people dancing in various movies. The dance of the middle-aged man who betrayed his lover and was reinstated in White Fireworks is greasy and sad, and the sunset solo in Burning is the beauty that is about to disappear. They have rendered a kind of artistic conception, making the little people the focus of attention and making the joys and sorrows of the little people distinct. In musicals, dancing makes the whole world spin and everyone is automatically attracted. Clown dancing is out of place, like a social animal secretly dancing in the elevator.

Clown three comments model essay;

I first got to know (the clown) when I was addicted to The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes. I watched a series of murders that shocked the world in history. One case is that a gay man raped and killed dozens of men in the19th century, and hid their bodies at home. His occupation was to be a clown. To the people around him, he is honest and gentle. In everyone's eyes, clowns exist for fun. After the case was exposed, people all over the country labeled this image as evil and weird. It is also because of this case that the Hollywood industry began to write the evil remake of this image into various types of horror movies, such as the clown coming back, the ghost driving away, Batman? The dark knight, etc ... and the character in the clown is the (clown) in the dark knight of DC universe. At that time, the clown first appeared on the screen and sucked a lot of powder for this role, because he exuded a completely different and unique charm. I think he is the same person as Professor moriarty in Sherlock Holmes. They are all smart, gentlemen, fearless and respected. I want to say something here; Personal experience is really important to a person. Those bad experiences can change a person's life. The so-called decent villain is just a relative who is accompanied by education and walks on the right path, and a family abandoned by the family and hurt by a social run is doing what it thinks is right) ... Well, digressing "The Clown" is very cold from the shooting angle, color matching, background and soundtrack, because it is all right.

All this seems to be a simple mockery of today's society, just like the clown's line: good, bad, funny or not, aren't you the definition?

This film is very depressing from beginning to end, and the scale is very large. I can always watch, and I can't help but breathe a sigh of relief. From the beginning of the film, there have been sighs before and after the theater. Even if it doesn't forget to joke, no one can laugh. People with poor psychological endurance strongly recommend watching this movie! ! ! He tried to make a little boy laugh on the bus, and the little boy laughed, but the little boy's mother just said coldly, don't bother my child.

Because of his laughter, he received psychotherapy. The doctor said that his head was badly damaged. He has to take a lot of medicine. When he walks, he seems to be pulled by two heavy shot puts. He took good care of his mother with dementia and lived together. When he had a seizure, no one sympathized with him because no one cared about him at all. People isolated him and spit on him. He just wants to bring happiness to people. Every time he plays a clown, he will tear his mouth open with his hand and tell himself to laugh in the mirror. He tried to do so. Until he learned that he was adopted, abused and cheated by his adoptive mother and stephusband caused serious brain damage, dismissed by a powerful boss, ridiculed by ruthless passers-by, betrayed by his only friend, the inner clown had swallowed him up bit by bit, but if the society had not been a little warm and honest to him, he would not have been swallowed to pieces. Sitting in the subway after a series of bad things, laughing and being beaten by three financial men? He can't hold it any longer? Starting with the shooting of three financial men, he killed the woman he secretly loved in the corridor, his mother, his only friend, and let his dwarf clown colleagues who were bullied by this society get away with it. Then he was chased by the police and killed the man who once regarded him as an idol and the only hope in life but laughed at his performance in front of the national audience. Finally, he killed the psychologist who didn't care about his illness.

What is he afraid of? No. He wrote in his diary with his right hand: mental illness is not the most painful thing. The most painful thing is that people want you to pretend that you are not sick. Then he wrote with his left hand: I hope my death is more valuable than my life. He always kills with his left hand.

He has his own followers and found his own sense of existence. He has let out his laughter, and he will never see the two heavy shot put on his feet again. He stood up, danced in the car, smiled, and you could see his heart. He is a clown.

Clown comments: Part IV:

At the end of the film, Gotham citizens put on clown masks and make trouble in the streets. The whole city is full of war and violence, which is a populist carnival.

I don't think the real world is much better. It's just that the American people haven't taken to the streets to kill people for the time being, but they just chose President Trump.

Why did the world become like this? The clown made it very clear on Franklin's program. Because the rich never look at problems from the perspective of the poor, they simply don't want to know how a clown-like loser lives, what he feels and what he has on his mind. Wayne only regards clowns as murderers, losers, psychopaths and perverts; He said that all unsuccessful losers are clowns and jokes; As for himself, we know from the Batman series that he is a philanthropist, and he (and his son Batman) must feel brilliant and impeccable.

But Wayne didn't understand the sentence in The Great Gatsby: "Whenever you want to criticize others, remember that not everyone in this world has the advantages you have."

Clowns also want to live less like a joke. If they can't be heroes in a play, they should at least play a tragic role. But he doesn't have the capital. He can't do it.

Clowns are not without efforts. He used to be so docile: take medicine on time, report to the doctor on time, keep smiling, and carry the card "I'm sick, sorry to bother you" with me. He believed in Wayne's logic and dreamed of bringing laughter to the world.

Unemployed blue-collar workers in the rust belt of the United States may also have a clown-like mental journey. Because of technological innovation and global trade, they have lost their jobs and their economic and social status has been declining. However, the elite will only say: you lost your job because of your low academic qualifications and poor ability. Why not get more education and transform into re-employment? I guess those unemployed workers were like clowns from the beginning, wearing the label "It's my fault, I'm sorry for causing trouble to his family" every day. However, if they can't wait for help to help them out of trouble, they can't be sorry forever.

The clown saw his hopes in life dashed one after another: he lost his job and became the least funny talk show artist. He is not the illegitimate son of a rich man, and the woman next door is not what he thinks. Then he saw how heartless Wayne was and didn't care about his life or death: social assistance programs were cut, and he tried his best to see that Wayne just got an old punch, and then Wayne kept promoting his charity dinner and campaign plan on TV. Unemployed workers have also seen the disillusionment of hope: there are fewer and fewer manufacturing jobs and the whole local community is declining. Some people suggest going back to school to improve their academic qualifications, but it is difficult for a person who has left the campus for decades after graduating from high school to ascend to heaven; Besides, the tuition is so expensive that they simply can't afford it. Then they saw that the big banks that caused the financial crisis received a lot of government assistance. They saw that no one on Wall Street went to jail. They saw that just a few years later, executives continued to receive astronomical salaries. Over time, they began to think: Is it really our fault, not yours?

The clown said: it's up to you to be right or wrong, and it's up to you to be funny or not. Why live by the standards you set? What makes you think that "we" will always be quietly at the mercy of "you" like good children?

Perhaps no one can endure humiliation and trampling forever, even if those insults are "justified" (clowns are indeed murderers, and blue-collar workers do lack the production skills needed in today's market); Maybe no one can endure unfairness forever, even if it's just what they think.

Wayne thinks the world in gotham city is fair. He has done so much charity himself, but clowns only know how to take and destroy it. In the real world, America's new elite is not even a rich second generation like Wayne. They are those people in Silicon Valley, many of whom are middle class, highly educated, highly skilled and hardworking, and have created a lot of wealth with their own hands. They naturally feel that they are rich, and it is unreasonable for the poor who can't ask for anything.

Clown Review: Part V:

The oppressive madness derived from the dark depression is the deafening voice of the clown. This is a masterpiece far beyond superman's expectation. It is not only a film that focuses on the bottom and belongs to no one, but also a cautionary fable with sociality. When Gotham finally fell into the mire of riots, in fact, no one could blame the clown who caused the riots.

The awakening of the clown

What about Heath? Ledger's clown played the clown's madness in Batman, so Jakun? The Clown of Phoenix shows Arthur, an embarrassed but still kind-hearted comedian, how he became a clown without humanity in a painful struggle. Jiekun's amazing and fascinating acting shows the complex interpretation of Arthur's psychological trend incisively and vividly, and the adaptation of the clown's essence does not lose the charm of comics, which gives the film a richer internal level and deductive space.

From the beginning of the film, we regarded Arthur as an out-and-out marginal person. Although he has a dream of becoming a comedian, he can only earn a meager income by playing a clown. He is mentally ill and loves to laugh, but he can't get effective help from society. He was even abused and beaten by street thugs. At the same time, he had a poor mother to take care of, but Arthur was full of hope at that time, because his mother had taught herself, "Always smile, you have a mission to make the world a better place." So he wants to win the recognition of others through his own efforts. Who would have thought that the clown who equates with evil is actually a purer person than others?

The key detail of this film is Arthur's diary. In the diary that changed gradually for some reason, Arthur once wrote with his right hand: "What is the worst thing about being mentally ill?" Then his left hand wrote in a completely different distorted font, "People just want you to act like a normal person." And with a clown-like smile, it is not difficult to see that Arthur is not a simple mental illness, but a split personality. Under normal circumstances, Arthur exists, but as Arthur is pushed into the corner step by step, the clown representing madness and darkness gradually awakens from his heart.

What awakened the clown?

A reality show once invited the rich to experience the life of the poor. Before the experience, the rich always thought: "With fighting spirit, the weak can become stronger." However, after only two days of living as a poor man, I admit to my face that the weak will only get weaker and worse when there is a great disparity between the strong and the weak. What clowns do is to bring such cruel social reality to the screen with an absurd and more dramatic human tragedy.

There is a controversial question in the clown, that is, billionaire Thomas? Whether Wayne is Arthur's father or not, in the movie, it is because Arthur discovered the "truth" that he is not Thomas' son that he really became a clown after killing his mother. But personally, the darkest part of this film is that Arthur is really Thomas' son, not only because Arthur's mother couldn't meet the adoption conditions at that time, but also because Arthur's mother said in the film that she had signed some agreements earlier, and Thomas' bite of this agreement was to make Arthur's mother never dare to anyone again.

When Arthur, who had already lived in the quagmire, was indifferent to the world, betrayed by his colleagues, ridiculed by idols, abandoned by society, and even finally cheated by his closest mother, Arthur with dual personality finally died, and the clown who gradually woke up from epilepsy finally woke up in the mission of "My death is more valuable than my life". It was not a person or a thing that awakened him, but the whole society had fallen into complete darkness, in which only evil and hypocrisy were allowed.

The fable of the clown

Some people think The Clown is a very inflammatory work, which arouses the negativity of human nature, but I think this film is just the opposite. From the tears of Arthur's clown costume in the first shot to the disappearance of human nature in the end, the film set off kindness again and again, and the fall of gotham city formed a vivid social fable. The most ironic scene of the film is that a group of people at the bottom of the cinema hold up signs to protest, while a group of well-dressed upper-class people in the cinema are watching Chaplin.

Chaplin's "Modern Times" is a comedy that satirizes the capitalists' oppression and destruction of the bottom workers, but a group of upper-class people can only watch the jokes of movies superficially and turn a deaf ear to the protests outside the cinema. In fact, the class dialogue in this society has been completely closed. The lower class thinks the rich are rich and heartless, while the upper class thinks the poor are lazy. The intensification of contradictions between classes will eventually be like a clown, and the poor will drag the whole society into endless riots.

The clown surrounded by people at the end of the film is actually not the founder of the new order, but just a sad victim. So who is his perpetrator? It is the defect of the system, the selfishness that has nothing to do with oneself, and the indifference that the relationship between people is drifting away. After all, no one in this world is born a clown.

My understanding is that a clown's uncontrollable laughter is not a disease. It is that he subconsciously knows all the misfortunes of his childhood. It's that his foster mother has been suppressing his character and gradually becoming as spiritual as her. When he sees the dark side of human nature, such as social discrimination and oppression, the clown on him will laugh, which is in contrast to Arthur's always trying to pretend to be integrated into this society, so he can't help laughing.

There are three kinds of his smiles. One is to force himself to adapt to the strange fake smile of the crowd. When his colleagues made fun of Juno's friends and all the colleagues around him laughed at the talk show, Arthur had to pretend that they were doing the same thing in order not to be queued. And that uncontrollable smile is the true self that has been suppressed by himself in Arthur's other personality. . Clowns. There is also a real heartfelt smile at the end of the mental hospital.

It is this society that makes clowns. Social indifference and selfishness will only make a fool of people and entertain themselves. Clowns see this clearly and see that the social structure and human nature are so fragile that fear and this structure can be destroyed with a gentle push. As long as society has more respect, less indifference, more care and less narcissism, there will be one less clown in society.

At the end of the film, the clown was prostrated by the violent crowd in the street and was very depressed. If so, wouldn't it become a film that promotes violence? But fortunately, the ending is open, and the ending is to stay in the madhouse. Moreover, in the conversation between Arthur and Dr. Black, Jekun's smile for a few seconds was just a smile, but his heart was full of drama. This smile is very classic and can be criticized as the weird smile of the last hero in the classic American movie (Psycho). That smile also brought an open ending to the film. You can explain that it was his idea, or that all this is true. This answer is left to the audience to interpret. This is also a model of a good movie, which can inspire us to some extent after watching it.

As the clown said, I always thought my life was a tragedy, but now it seems to be a comedy. We should not live for anyone, nor should we be led by the nose by this society, let alone suppress ourselves excessively. If we suppress ourselves too much, your life must be a tragedy. We want to release the inner clown, of course, not to destroy it with explosive force, but to release our true self. Although we may be teased or excluded by those normal people, we live more freely than them, but when you live freely, this society will always be meaningful.

"Can you tell me?"

"You don't understand."
