The following movies can be said to have taken the clown's pictogram to the extreme, and also left us with a deep memory. Which film did you remember the most about the clown?
Batman: The Dark Knight
Director: Christopher Nolan
Douban: 9.2
Fifteen years later, the film still holds a high score of 9.2 from more than 1 million people, and the legend of this film is not only the god director of Nolan, but also the unsurpassed beauty of the late actor Heath Ledger.
This is an antagonist that cannot be surpassed in film history, so much so that no matter how many people play the clown later, they can't escape the comparison with this version.
The Joker said that he and Batman are very similar, they are both aliens, but life lies in choice, light and darkness are two faces of a person, depending on your choice.
Nolan created a clown who is especially good at attacking the protagonist's Achilles' heel, and that's what makes this villain so good! Regarding the scar on the clown's face, he has two theories about the source of the scar.
One is that his wife is disfigured, and he himself has scratched his face, and the other is that his drunkard father has scratched his face, and it is not known which one is true or both are false.
"Little Ox"
Director: Todd Phillips
Douban: 8.7
When a person who was originally kind tasted insults, betrayals, deception, and ridicule, his kindness is also exhausted, and all that is left is madness.
The "clown" in the film can be understood as a container for bearing evil, when malice reaches a critical point that a person can bear, he either chooses death or rebels, obviously, "Joker" chooses the latter!
Arthur is a very ordinary clown actor who has always had a dream in his heart to become a respected and beloved comedian.
But the reality is cruel and difficult to move an inch, and all kinds of things force him to no longer bear it. He always remembered that his mother told him to keep smiling at all times, but in the end he learned that it was just a shackle given to him by his mother, who suffered from mental problems.
In addition to revenge, it is more to attract everyone's attention, because deep down he wants to be noticed by society and everyone, even if it is through crimes!
Batman
Director: Tim Burton
Douban: 7.5
As the first Batman-themed movie, Jack Nicholson successfully portrayed the character of the Joker, and this version changed the routine and adapted the Joker's origin story.
The Joker's mental problems in the film can be traced back to his childhood, he was smart from an early age, but he had signs of madness very early.
The Joker's real name is Jack, and he was originally a member of the dark forces, but was later disfigured by Batman and thrown into the chemical pool, thus becoming a Joker and beginning to take revenge on society and Batman.
This setting adds a complex personality and motivation to the Joker's character, making him a villain full of danger and uncertainty.
Nicholson's madness, chaos and cunning of the Joker are vividly portrayed, making the character a highlight in the film.
He uses this superficial joy to hide his inner loneliness, singing and dancing every time he kills, and this unique way of behaving also makes the Joker one of the most representative villains in the movie.
Suicide Squad
Director: David Ayer
Douban: 6.7
Compared to other versions of the Joker, the Joker in this movie is more crazy, cunning, and dangerous. The image is also more unique, with his makeup, costumes, and hairstyle all different from the traditional Batman image, which is more in line with the dark style of the movie.
The Joker is an expert in crime planning who is caught by Batman and sent to prison for a failed robbery. While in prison, he was selected to join the Suicide Squad and became one of the core members of the team.
The Joker's personality is extremely crazy, has no moral bottom line, and is good at creating chaos and creating panic. Not only is he adept at masterminding criminal activities, but he also has strong leadership and charisma to attract others to his ranks.
The relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn in this movie is also a highlight, Harley Quinley's love for the Joker is crazy and persistent, and she is willing to give everything for him, even her own life.
However, the Joker's feelings for Harley Quinn appear complex and contradictory. The clown's madness and unpredictability make their relationship full of uncertainties.
