In the London Theatre.
A middle-aged man with half-long blond hair stared at the big screen with a focused face.
He holds a pen in his left hand (left-handed) and a notebook in his right hand, but he has no intention of writing in a notebook at this time.
His emotions have been completely substituted into the movie.
The middle-aged man’s name was Derek Alley, one of England’s most famous film critics.
By this time, he was deeply struck by Martin’s “Joker”.
He pays more attention to Martin’s acting skills than Martin’s directing techniques.
Derek Avery has a well-known theory of acting division, which divides acting skills into four realms:
The first realm: “pretentiousness”. Such actors usually use exaggerated movements to interpret the role, exaggerated body language, shouting and grabbing the sky, dancing with their hands, and using too much force.
The second “150” realm: “free retraction”. This kind of actor will express himself according to the director’s requirements, wild when it should be wild, convergent when it should be convergent, and in the director’s “click”, it can immediately return to normal.
The third realm: “the unity of human and horn”. This kind of actor can achieve the integration of actor and character, and the performance is not traced, not obvious, but it can always provoke the sensitive nerves of the audience and provoke turbulent joys and sorrows.
The fourth realm: “Natural”. The actor in this realm is no longer acting in a role, but has become a character, but when the audience sees him, they will forget who he originally was, and instead treat him as the person in the movie.
In his eyes, Martin’s interpretation of Arthur has surpassed the third realm and reached the level of “natural”.
When he sees “Arthur” dancing on the roof of the car at the end of the movie, the crowd around him stamping his feet and chanting the name “Arthur”, Drake Alley shuddered, and this scalp-tinging performance made his soul tremble.
As an emotionally sensitive person, Derek Avery can even clearly feel the emotion exuded by “Arthur” on the screen who sees through everything and has no scruples, and the kind of grief and anger to the extreme, but instead produces a joyful madness from the heart!
“I designed four laughs for the clown,” Martin said in a post-film interview, “and I watched videos of patients with pathological crying and laughing, which is a mental illness that can get out of control.” In order to be able to reproduce the clown’s iconic smile as closely as possible, I decided to express them in a parody way.
It’s actually quite uncomfortable because I’ve watched video after video of patients crying and laughing, and the people are basically in pain, dealing with things that are out of their control. I tried to watch 168 videos and pictures, and finally chose four that I thought were the most appropriate, and added my own expressions to express them in the film. “
“No, no, no, ‘Joker’ is not a left-wing film. Martin gave a deep look at the reporter who asked the question, and the reporter was holding back.
“Yes, ‘Joker’ does expose something, such as how in the current capitalist structure, the elite implicitly defends its own interests, rather than relying on naked deprivation and harm, this low-level means – the elite completes the segregation of social classes through the accumulation of a series of political, economic or cultural capital such as family background, education, circle, style, etc.”
In order to carry out some of the necessary “evils” while keeping themselves clean, the elites have also cultivated huge mercenary groups. There are even faces at the bottom of this mercenary group, and by giving them favors, they are allowed to create structural evils—censorship, segregation, abuse, deprivation, etc.—and a lot of evil emerges from this mercenary group.
That’s why the clown said: If it were me who was killed, no one would care, and people would have stepped on me as if nothing had happened.
However, if you want to say that this film is a left-wing film, it seems to be inadequate.
Yes, I use the word inadequate.
Because although the clown in the film does eventually become a person who resists the system, he is not a revolutionary in the traditional sense.
He did not have a mature political concept, nor did he have the idea of building a new system at all. He is not one of the ambitious “idealists”, but an abnormal person with pathological crying and laughing, lack of paternal love, and sensitive heart.
So if you say it’s a left-wing film, that’s a bit too much. “
“What, you ask me, what do you think of the violence that rejects justice itself?”
“Well, if violence itself is not intended to renew the definition of justice, then violence is only a graveyard of order. I also thought about this question when I was filming “Joker”, should I rationalize the violence of “Joker”?
But in the end I chose no… 0
Because there’s no need, as I said before, the clown is not an idealist, he’s just a madman born for various reasons, and his violence is just violence, and there is no reason for it.
In fact, this situation of clowns is a common phenomenon in society, and Guildeleze once said: schizophrenia is the general state of capitalist human beings. But he went on to give the prescription of accelerating the production of capitalist desires, and schizophrenia as the path to emancipation. (If you read a violent novel, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
So what I want to express is that in our society, in fact, everyone has a clown in their hearts, but most people choose to hide him, and a few people express it, and it becomes a real …… Lunatic. “
…………
“Joker” became popular in London.
No, to be exact, “Joker” became popular throughout Europa.
Movie-watching!
Critics are also crazy about it.
Manchester Evening: “Bold, devastating and utterly beautiful, Martin Meyers as director and Martin Meyers as actor have collaborated to reinvent not only one of the most iconic villains in cinematic history, but also the comic book adaptation itself. “
The Guardian: “Oh, Joker, what a bold and explosive film it is. The story is almost as twisted as the central character of the story, full of ideas and heading towards a kind of anarchy. “
3.6 The Times: “Martin Meyers portrays a growing villain in this incendiary story of psychological escape and psychopathology, which is devastating. “
Le Figaro: “An iconic comic book villain gets a fitting epic origin story in ‘Joker’, which gives Martin Meyers the grandest stage for his acting talent! Oh, and don’t forget, he’s also the director.” “
Le Monde: “This is Martin Meyers’ film, and he has a madness in this film, sometimes pitiful, sometimes terrifying, and this performance is not a joke. Martin Meyers’ actions made the film “Joker” the next avant-garde work in the Hollywood comic film industry. “
