The problems of males in a female driven sociëty

Rating: 8/10 (8 January 2020)

This is not just another origin story abouth a comic character but much more a story abouth a sociéty that does not care one bit abouth the problems that men
have .
There's one particular moment in the movie that beautifully encapsulates how society treats men and their problems, whether the problem is mental illness, homelessness, high suicide rates, or whatever else.
Arthur is sitting on his couch at home after his brutally bad day. His pained laugh is especially haunting. You can literally feel his pain in your gut, thanks to Phoenix's incredible performance. While he's laughing, someone bangs on the wall and yells "shut up!"
That, in a nutshell, is how society views men and their problems. We're told to shut up and care more about women's problems.
After all, why should things like high male suicide rates and homelessness even be acknowledged when women in this culture have to deal with... gasp mansplaining or unwanted compliments??
Oh. The horror.
