The pure genius of this movies social critique is that the exact people who would have committed these evils on Arthur to make his life inevitable are the ones who are giving 0star reviews. Every character who is evil to Arthur would have been blind to their behaviour and as they are the majority of characters you’re seeing this play out across the reviews. Look out for the cinematic juxtapositions between an audience laughing at the most tragic moments of Arthur’s life (canned laughter is inserted at these moments of the movie deliberately) and the fact Arthur’s laughter that is the result of brain damage is attributed to malice, while the truly malicious laughter is acted upon arthur at the end of the film. Movie was absolutely perfect. The connecting themes between all events show the true genius of this director. Every moment an idiotic crowd laughs, I’m crying. Every single person in the movie acts out a form of evil on Arthur Fleck except his lawyer the one person they convince him he can’t trust. Nothing ever works out for Arthur in his entire life and the evil others think is inconsequential if a single event was different perhaps it all would have been. Without want for writing two thousand words this movie is absolutely genius social critical commentary. In a movie category of power art/cinema that moves and changes you this stands tall as a leader and pillar forever. Statistically Arthur Flecks life was the inevitable sum of 1,000 evils committed on him. To demonstrate that nothing ever works out for a character of this type of disadvantage in such perfect cinema that it’s only visible to those of us who have lived the worlds struggles. Makes me feel tragically alone and yet brilliantly understood as a person who sees this happening around me without the power to change it for them except to be genuinely kind to everyone I meet along the way.
