"kidnapping and torture" is not what JOKER is about

Posted by: Aussie on Oct 06, 14:11 in response to Catzan's post Jigsaw came out 2017...8 movies of kidnapping and torture...

Maybe it's not a widely perceived theme, but JOKER in my mind is about being repressed. It's about being bullied and misunderstood. The key is, it's about freedom through violence and anonimity.

So I'm not really talking about killing people, more about acting out the freedom through antisocial acts.

I'm surprised no one has thought of this. Great work. (Apologies for the the fat thumbs above.) {nm} Wellespring Oct 05, 17:18

Ok...so how many "Saw" copycats were there? The issue is not whatever the catalyst is because there are many more types than just a movie. Catzan Oct 05, 18:07

"Saw" was in 2004. A lot has changed in 15 years. {nm} Aussie Oct 05, 21:16

Jigsaw came out 2017...8 movies of kidnapping and torture with another due out. {nm} Catzan Oct 05, 23:37

I thought your point was the film being a catalyst for violence. Any movie "could" be a catalyst and most are not. The Dark Knight Rises Catzan Oct 06, 20:32

That idea is all over the sensational news here. They even closed down a theater (in CA, I think) because of a "credible threat" ndmaster Oct 05, 20:51

So we should also remove all Saw movies, Natural born killers, Hostel movies, and why keep all Halloween, Fridays and Chainsaw movies??? Lukasck Oct 07, 08:21
