My View after Watching Movie "Joker"

By Shadow

I remember when I was in university of China, I was so much fascinated about Hollywood movies because they were really good, from actors/actress to themes or to the way of acting. I used to spend day and night watching those movies. However, I found recent Hollywood movies are short of imaginations, lack of right life values, only just want to exaggerate facts, create sensations or to make money by selling tickets.

Anyway, maybe I am not that understanding anymore as I have been tired of all the personal problems since I became a mother. I do have problem understanding the plots and I am not as smart as I used to be, which, I have to admit. Also my writings maybe full of personal judgement based on my own points, which m ay conflict with many people, but I do not intend to challenge anyone or enforce others to accept.

I have heard of the movie “Joker” but I didn’t want to watch because I knew it was not my style. However, I did watch because I want to keep company of someone who wanted to learn English as I could translate for him in case he didn’t understand.

I was really shocked to know how exaggerating this movie is. I remember my dad said” Art is something that is above life.” This movie may have duplicated part of real life in western society; however, it really goes to extreme. Compared to “Batman” which talks about one side of the story, this movie talks about the other side. From face value, it looks that the theme is more ethically right as it talks about a person who has been abused, cheated and bullied by the powerful, wrongful, and rich, and who finally wins the battle. However, it gives the wrong solution to such problems by using gun shooting. Not to mention that this movie is describing a society or a situation which is not completely true. It looks like this world is full of abuses and rebellions, there is real love, generosity and kindness of people which has been overlooked.

In life, it is often that nice people are being looked as “jokers” in this society because they listen; they follow orders and are scared of a lot of things. On the other hand, there are some other people who are arrogant enough who constantly look for objectives to bully and take advantages of because they don’t feel secure if they don’t control the weak by bullying, which, psychologically of course is distorted, and also not acceptable by us. Many a times, the less powerful people are really depressed and try to tolerate, which finally lead to the damage of their own physical and psychological health, which is very sorry.

Given this situation and what is revealed by the movie, is it right to use the solution of violence to solve the problem and put an end to the people who humiliate us? Absolutely, no. Here I give some better solutions: Firstly, you can talk, expressing your feelings by using the right way. If they don’t listen, then you can walk away. If you can’t walk away from these people temporarily you have to give in temporarily for your own safety until you are safe. Do remember these people’s name and face and take another chance to take revenge. Also, taking revenges have all kinds of ways, the best way is to permanently cut off your relationship with them, and be strong and live better than them eventually. One day, even if they beg to be your friends, you say “no”, and you help other people who are currently struggling like what you used to be to be successful. Always remember to fight with evils with smart, safe and rational ways.

There is a proverb in Chinese” If you always walk in the darkness, you will finally meet a ghost.” Also, there is also a saying” Goodness gets good returns, badness gets bad returns.” Why should you worry? Wrong people do wrong things at every level, they will get revenged by their own acts because of the powerful force of karma, you just wait and see. There is really no need to be angry or take revenge. Also, there are a lot of kind people are struggling at every hidden corner of the world, which are all your friends that you just don’t know where they are yet. One day, when you walk out the darkness created by others, you will meet each other and celebrate the reunification of all your friends.

If everyone does as what this person in the movies does as a solution, this world will definitely become messy and messy. Also, a lot of abusers’ attitude has been learnt from the ones who had bullied them when they were weak. It is unlikely that the joker will do the right thing once he becomes powerful because he has never had a right model to follow. He may become the source of another vicious circle, if he does not resort to gun shooting. Even though he may have rebelled and succeeded, he has not put an end to wrong things. As quite often we hear from news, killers always think they are reasonable and they feel they are saving the world, which, we don’t understand.

Of course, the sad fact is on most occasions, people who are like jokers in the society are constantly conceiving fear and stress when confronting those who moniker or abuse them whether physically or mentally, and they are so weak and so unprotected that they don’t even tell others, and their tears are unnoticed dripping down at the middle of night. They feel no one cares about them as other people never approach them to care about them. Even if they voice their sufferings, other people remain silent or never stop insulting them or isolating them. Einstein once said “ Love is the most powerful thing in the world.” A lot of selfish people only put themselves number one and love themselves only. In this blind love, these people are ruthless towards other people’s miseries. They may love the ones they love, but they don’t comprehend others who are also the love of other people. They understand their own needs perfectly, but don’t think other people also had needs for their own. In the worst scenery, these people’s happiness is built on the sufferings of other people. Therefore, Eistein’s conclusion is not completely right. He has neglected the powerful karma that monitors the whole world, which requires us to do right things and accumulate good karma at every aspect of life in order to bring out positive result for our loved ones.

To conclude, if people do wrong to you, do not do the same thing to them or to other innocent people, because it is all negative energy which spreads evil and do not make this world better. Let’s find better solutions to all social problems and have more caring for all the disadvantaged people and treat everybody nicely. On the other hand, I do wish disadvantaged people also understand other people’s fortune, beautifulness or health which belong to their karma, unless the sources of fortune are out of unethical ways such as cheating or doing illegal businesses, there is nothing to be jealous of. This is the right way to treat everybody the same. This is only way to build a good family and a harmonious society, and it is a good way to educate better kids as parents. Bullying is a behavior that needs to stop at every level of life from any close relationships including work relations and family relations, and other relations in general.

电影《小丑》观后感

作者：影SHADOW（原文英语）翻译：影SHADOW

我记得当我在中国大学时，我对好莱坞电影非常着迷，因为从演员到主题及表演方式，那时的好莱坞电影都很棒，以至于我没日没夜地看。但是，我发现最近的好莱坞电影缺乏想象力和正确的人生价值观，只想夸大事实，制造轰动效应或通过卖票赚钱。

也许我不再那么洞察力强了，因为自从我成为母亲以来忙于处理生活琐事，很难理解这些情节。而且，我的写作可能根基于个人判断比较主观，会和许多人不一致，但我无意挑战或强迫他人接受。

听说电影《小丑》很火，但不想去看，因为我知道这不是我喜欢的风格。最终我还是去看了主要为了帮助一位朋友翻译，以防他听不懂。这部电影夸张之处让我十分震惊。父亲曾说：“艺术是高于生活的。”这部电影复现了西方社会现实生活，然而走向了极端。与“蝙蝠侠” 相比，这部电影是从反面角度拍摄。从表面看来，该主题在道义上是正确的，因为它讨论的是一个被权势强者，不法富人欺凌的人，最终赢得了这场战斗的故事。但是，他的胜利使诉诸于枪支，为此类问题提供了错误的解决方案。更不用说这部电影是在描述一个不完全属实的社会景况，把整个世界描绘成了出了欺凌就是反抗，而人与人之间的真爱，慷慨和善良被完全忽视。

在生活中，好人经常被人们视为这个社会的“笑话”，因为他们听话，遵循命令并且害怕很多事情。另一方面，还有一些自大的人不断寻找可欺负利用的目标，因为如果他们不能通过欺凌来控制弱者，他们就不会感到安全，这在心理上当然是扭曲的，这也是我们无法接受的。很多时候，实力较弱的人真的很沮丧，并试图宽容，这最终导致他们自身的身心健康受到损害，这是非常遗憾的。

根据以上所揭示的内容，那么使用暴力方案来解决问题而达到不再被他人欺凌的目的是否正确？绝对不对。那么，我提供一些更好的解决方案：首先，您可以通过正确的方式表达自己的感受。如果他们不听，那么您可以走开。如果您暂时不能离开这些人而且必须暂时妥协以确保自己的安全，直到安全为止。请记住这些人的名字和面孔，再择机用别的方式复仇。同样，报仇有各种各样的方式，最好的方法是永久切断与他们的关系，并变得坚强，最终比他们生活得更好。有一天，即使他们乞求成为您的朋友，您也说“不”，并且您帮助其他和您过去一样正在挣扎中的人们取得成功。永远记住以聪明，安全和理性的方式与邪恶作斗争。

中国里有句谚语：“久走夜路必闯鬼。”还有句俗语：“善有善报，恶有恶报。”为何还要担心？错误的人在各个层面上都会做错事的，由于业力的强大力量，他们会因自己的行为而引火上身，只须拭目以待。确实没有必要生气或报仇。在世界的每个角落，总有很多善良的人在挣扎，这些都是您的朋友，您只是不知道他们在哪里。有一天，当您走出别人制造的黑暗时，您将会和所有朋友庆祝团圆。

如果每个人都像小丑那样以暴制暴来解决问题，那么这个世界肯定会变得越来越糟。而且，被虐者往往模仿施虐待者的态度。小丑一旦变得强大，就不太可能做正确的事，因为他从来没有遵循过正确的榜样。即使他不诉诸枪击，他也可能会成为另一个恶性循环的源头。他可能反抗成功，但并没有结束错误的事情。正如我们经常从新闻中听到的那样，杀手们总是认为自己是合理的，反而认为自己正在拯救世界，这是我们难以理解的。

当然，可悲的事实是在大多数情况下，当被虐者在面对社会上那些嘲笑或欺凌他们的人时，他们身心上都在不断承受恐惧和压力，而且如此虚弱和无助，甚至于无人知晓，他们的眼泪在半夜悄然划下面颊。也会觉得没有人在乎他们，因为他人从不主动关心他们。即使他们表达了自己的痛苦，其他人仍然保持沉默，或者永远不会停止侮辱他们或孤立他们。爱因斯坦曾经说过：“爱是世界上最强大的力量。”许多自私的人把自己放在第一位，而只爱自己。在这种盲目的爱中，这些人对别人的痛苦熟视无睹。他们也许会爱他们所爱的人，但却不理解别人也是被爱者。他们明白自己的需求，却忘了他人也有自己的需求。在最坏的情况下，这些人的快乐是建立在其他人的痛苦之上的。因此，爱因斯坦的结论并不完全正确。他忽略了控制整个世界的强大业力，这要求我们在生活的各个层面做正确的事情并积累良好的业力，为我们所爱的人带来积极的结果。

总而言之，如果人们对你做错了，就不要对他们或其他无辜的人做同样的事情，因为这都是消极的能量，散布着邪恶，并没有使这个世界变得更好。让我们为所有社会问题找到更好的解决方案，并更加关心所有弱势群体，并善待每一个人。另一方面，我希望弱势群体也了解他人的财富，美丽或健康，除非他们的财富取之无道像通过诈骗或别的不道德的方式相从事非法生意，否则不要嫉妒他人. 也是对待所有人的正确方法。这是建立良好家庭和和谐社会的唯一途径，更是教育好孩子的好方法 。 欺凌是在生活的各个亲密关系层面上需要制止的行为，包括工作关系和家庭关系，以及其他所有关系。

感谢您的收看。感谢您的时间。
