The Joker Nihilist

Rating: 9/10 (30 April 2014)

In the first minutes of the film he sets the tone and tempo of work : I believe that what does not kill you makes you more ... weird . Parodying the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche , who challenged the creator claiming that " God is dead " . Joker laughed at life in the Dark Knight and Ledger as Tony , in his last film , The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus , the no less bizarre Terry Gilliam plays with death , coming and going from the dead , until in February 2008 after an accidental drug intoxication , he did not return . Increasing the myth around the Joker.
There are some similarities between Nietzsche and the Joker . The German hid a scar beneath his mustache, while the villain of DC Comics used a mask made ​​up of three parts silicone to hide the scars from your sarcastic smile and ironic.The Joker seeks to demonstrate that nothing is and everything will be is not going to be. Embodies nihilism as agent of chaos , destroyer of morals and value judgments that guide us . Justice is not blind by their impartiality , but not to see the real evil that sweeps our being . Have blaring Nietzsche in the Genealogy of Morals on emergence of our judgments and the decay of our beliefs . He believed that man was something to be overcome , destroying the false being within that dominates us . Heath Ledger 's character in visceral instigates his opponents , especially in Batman ( Christian Bale ) and Harvey Dent ( Aaron Eckhart ) . He seeks to deconstruct the ethical and moral values ​​through an ideology of fear and terror. The psychic and psychological changes caused by these agents in the characters increase the density of the plot and the atmosphere of tension that forces us to reflect on our values ​​, here we got to nihilism.
