Joker (spoiler free)

Let's put a smile.... on that face....!

HA HA HA...

After watching the latest version of our beloved villain, Joker, we couldn't help but stay in a gloomy mood for a while. Some may say that it's too dark and heavy but no one should choose movies randomly, should they? You get what you choose.

We love this new Joker. Not to say that we dislike the past jokers (even Leto...), they have their distinct differences and it would be unfair to bring them into the same test. Starting from Jack Nicholson's Batman 1989 (sorry), his persona is the most comic while still being intimidating. Heath Ledger's Joker is the mastermind that brought in people of this generation and perhaps made this character serious by asking "why... so.... serious....!?". Suicide Squad's Leto Joker has been taking a lot of criticism and it will probably last. It's not that he didn't do a good job though to be fair, it was impossible to ask the audiences to watch the new joker at the time without any attachment to the previous one whose performance was simply awesome. Leto's entrance was just untimely though good for viewers who either didn't like or watch Batman. At last... Joaquin Phoenix (wɑːˈkin) and he did not disappoint. He's brought out the depth, darkness and psychological nature in the character. His joker is not funny though he wanted to be. He wants to work hard but life doesn't grant him. He's born innocent into a damaged family, taught to have false beliefs, and finally, he embraces, not his nature, but what the society has made him become.

"All I have are negative thoughts..."

This is something that could easily be described to what many are feeling when they're low but at the same time, a sentence easily overused. Though we were all born bright and shinny, negativity spreads like a virus. All it takes is indeed just one... bad... day. We've seen and forgotten many who made the wrong choices, met the wrong people, appeared at the wrong places and changed forever to darkness and yet, it seems that we could simply look beyond this bad day and resurface back to the light.

Movies with jokers are usually a mixture of comic and intensive plot but this is not the case. It is THE JOKER MOVIE. We all sat down to as if witnessed the full weight of darkness of his origin, the rise of the Joker. Although so gloomy and hopeless, it strangely leads us to the bright side(more on that later).

In this modern world, life is difficult. People often feel and think in a passive and negative way in the presence of setbacks... not getting paid enough, family disputes, relationship issues, marriage, feeling isolated...etc.

"Everything sucks!" Boom, it's kill or be killed.

Joker represents not only the depression, chaos, insanity in people but the comeuppance of this suppressive, unfair society. See? it's easy to blame society but WE ARE society; It is just a collective point of view. We are completely responsible for making it better or worse, aren't we?

We all help make the clowns in the world and for that, we truly are... all... jokers.

"The joker won... but the joker cannot win...!"

Remember that we love to mention that negativity spreads like a virus? Well, positivity is like a vitamin; our survival depends on it. Vitamins come in effect very slowly. It's so slow that you don't even feel its existence... until you're sick. Good deeds alike, it replies on such trivial and everyday aspects that is difficult to carry out in this fast-paced world... if we follow aimlessly. We all have Joker moments, ideas, bad thoughts and It's perfectly fine to have them. But like a sane person, we find better actions. Deep down, we've always known the right thing to do but chosen to forget because many of us have let frustration take control and persuade others to join the easy way out. We don't mean to say negativity serves no purpose. After all, there's no joy without sadness. Everything has two sides and the perfect balance is where we find peace.

It is time to time to ignore what the world expects us to be, to neglect what we want and become who we really are. Yes, you have to find who you are first. Just let go of all your burden, baggage and focus on what makes you genuinely happy. Everything else is secondary.
