Joker Politics



I'm crazy, and I don't pretend to be anything else.

—Calvin Klein


There is a bit of crazy in all of us~

The story of society and human phycology. Is a long one. Even politics researchers brief described it.
The idea of Thomas Hobbes that people are predisposed bad from birth or the idea of being more neutral according to Immanuel Kant and always have a reason to act.
 Films reflect our emotions, our ideologies and by that ourselves. They show who we really are; what we are not; and what we can become. Though there always use reason. A story to work needs a reason. Though reason can be pushed aback. Because we are humans and we have our reasons but we don’t think logical all the time; and probably never. We are guided by our emotions and our societal backgrounds.
We are freighted creature because deep inside under our evolved culture we still governed often by our basic emotions —though that’s why we are humans. We try to forget; we try to eloquent but in the end, we need to embrace. That is the ultimate human characteristic; embracing ourselves and others.

In our modern society we forget to be human and to understand our fears and vulnerabilities. That’s why films often are the window into our unconsciousness or consciousness thoughts.
Science fiction films, even though they have a fantastic-made up story, often are more realistic for the basic human ideology. Cause humans are more human-like when faced all too strange phenomenon to them. Humans enjoy that fantasy because it offers the possibility; a though—game if you will on how they could be humans in that situation.
(That is bias also of mine because I really enjoy science fiction that’s why I talk about them in a film that is more fantasy-comic based but still truly realistic).
We need in the end to accept what we are capable of. As one of our modern philosopher Jordan Peterson often says — paraphrasing a bit—  “we need to go to our dark side and see what we really capable of doing if we are pushed; then only we truly learn ourselves”.
Films that don’t shy from that is the reason that the art of filmography exists —to learn something for ourselves. Whatever dark-side we have, we need to exposed it, we need to see what we are capable off, in order to understand why we don’t want to act that way and why and set our societal boundaries and rules.

Joker is a movie that makes us think. The massive news coverage about its negative effects doesn’t exist. Media often show a part of a story and not all the stories. Because they are also good stories. Joker should be regarded as a video-essay for human psychology and how we really need to rethink our attitudes and societal behavior towards who is different. We still have a lot to learn and improve; and that happens if we don’t shy from them. Thinking that by not talking about them would not solve them.
A better article would be about expanding in its ideas that it tried to showed.  That would a quality new article.
