Joker Phoenix, Evil is a natural production of power.

Rating: 9/10 (14 October 2019)

Since the official announcement of The Joker 2019, starring Joaquin Phoenix, Hollywood critics led a fierce campaign against the film, before it appeared in public, and before they watched the show. The reasons for this initial refusal were based on some of the scenes shown in the film's official announcements.
The principle of the campaign was that the film presented the idea of violence through a character who had a historical presence in the world of comics, the Joker, around which more than five films have been made since they came out in the pages of comic books. The campaign not only stopped with critics, but also extended to politicians who warned about the film and its negative impact on viewers, even the U.S. military leadership issued a directive to its members, noting that there were threats of possible shootings or mass interceptions after the film.
American power was filled with fear, but on the other hand, this authoritarian fear, offset by psychological comfort in the popular street in other parts of the world, was a strong public yearning for a rebellious figure against the authorities.
After watching the film, I was very pleased, not only for Phoenix's brilliant and fun performance, but also because I understood why politicians and critics who worked under the loyalty of political authorities, feared such a film.
Cinema watchers in general and DC fans, who invented the Joker character, know exactly the history of this character cinematically without knowing the reality from which it was created, In other words, the Joker always practiced anarchist behaviour without a date to explain to us what he was doing, for example, with The Joker, Jack Nicholson, we know the reasons for sabotage and destruction, it's personal revenge after he is chemically mutilated, but we still don't know his history, and with Heath Ledger, we were with a troubled personality with a deep philosophy about life, indifferent to his death, and also not knowing what made him like that, but with Joaquin Phoenix, he gave us a profound explanation of the reasons for the creation of this character, The Joker is a natural human being with an ambition to make people happy, but poverty, homelessness, ignorance, corruption and The triviality of political discourse, led him to become the Joker who will rebel against all the false laws of the civilized world.
In the old version of the Joker, evil was the goal, and the character made it and moved it, but with Joaquin Phoenix, the Joker was part of a social system that rejected political and economic law. A sense of helplessness and frustration, he and others have generated a certain amount of rejection that will turn him into a joker who fights power in his own way.
The dialogues and symbols used in the film, illustrate the laws that affect the capitalist society at its core, such as the closure of health insurance institutions, the harsh working conditions that lead a person to starve, acceptance of the harshest actions in order to continue life, ridicule of the individual dream, and social bullying of by the media, and those with influence and prestige over marginal human beings.
In the latest version of The Joker, it is what made politicians, critics, and even the military leadership, to campaign to distort the film before it was shown, the fear of a similar situation like the one that happened earlier with a film in V for Vendetta, best known for its "Ideas Don't Die", and Continued to this day. but the biggest problem for the authority was not the composition of the character persecuted by the higher society, but in describe it as originally not evil, and what the situation of rejection and rebellion to the formula of the absolute right of man to be at a better standard of life.
In the old Joker, evil prevailed, and no authority objected to it, although visual violence was higher than the last version. Joker Phoenix is not evil, nor is there violence compared to any American commercial film of horror or violence in which murder is the basis of the show, such as John Wick "Keanu Reeves", who dies in one film about 400 people, Political and military power and critics do not object to such violence, because it does not carry any rebel message, it is murder for entertainment, systematic violence without affecting the form of higher society, but Joker Phoenix threatens the depth of political structure and mechanisms of its triviality and contempt for the weak human being.
This film is simply a real stain on the meaning of the authorities and economic powers, a profound analysis of the industrial community, marginal individuals, and the patients who live in it. A film that tells everyone that evil is nothing but a natural reaction to political practices that despise man, it is an explicit call to destroy false civilization and to overthrow every power that bully's the marginal human being.
