Probably, but he be great.
Michael Fassbender
I'd like to see him in a retro 60s Bond. Some of his scene in X Men reminded me of that. If not, he would still be great.
I like that he is handsome but a bit wolfish at the same time.
Not Sure:
I have read a couple of the books. Bond is not described as being a pretty type of guy but rather as a rough, large, guy who is intimidating. I can't think of many actors like that.
This Joker is close to what inspired the Joker back in the 30s.
It was a book called The Man Who Laughed.
The guy's face got mutilated as a children, which forced a smile on his face, then all these bad things happened to him and he couldn't stop smiling. It was a story about how most people feel the need to do that in life and how life sucks.
That's very close to this story. However, in the comics Joker gets injured and has the forced smile too. That's very necessary to the character.
He was awesome is 12 Monkeys and Fight Club.
It's weird but he's good at acting when playing crazy people, if not he's wooden.
That's always puzzled me.
With something so profound as autism, I don't even have to know much about her, just her surface details, in this case.
People with autism DO NOT CARE about others. They do not communicate with others well, if at all. They would not be able to address large groups of people, etc. This kid comes from a show biz family, is engaging in a show, and has an arrogant look on her face. A person with autism would not be capable. It's a paralyzing mental condition.
I started my career working with autistic people.
I didn't say men are giving or whatever.
I focused on the fact that women are assholes and very toxic people. There is no solution for this, no change of self-improvement, if people constantly lie about women.
My definition is the classic definition of what science fiction is. It is about how humans will respond and adapt to scientifically possible developments. So, SF is largely about human psychology.
The original Star Trek was about that a lot. That tended to focus on how humans are great.
An old show, The Six Million Dollar Man, which came from a book, was SF. That was about a cyborg, part machine, part human, and how he adapted to that. Due to it being a 70s TV show it wasn't super deep, but from what I can recall there was enough ideas that at times he suffered and at times he exceeded humanity and it was good.
Any story where something really can't happen, according to science, is fantasy. Fantasy is whimsical imagination meant to just be creative and entertaining. I love Star Wars, but in the end, it was like a religious parable meant to illustrate a point. Star Wars have nothing to do with science and is about love and family dynamics. The prodigal son is in the jewish section of the Bible. It's about a son who does all bad things and his dad still loves him. This confuses his good son. The dad explains that because he's his son no amount of bad things will stop his love. That's Star Wars in reverse.
It's my theory that since jews are the head of most entertainment in the US, they can't make science fiction, because they belong to a cult. So, they always make fantasies that are disguised religious parables.
Yes it is if you have no money and no one else is there to take care of her.
The reason he went so crazy is because he was so nice.
That's great.
It showed that he was once a very caring person.
The saying "No man is an island" is turn. It means that no person is self-made because we're connected to others.
In our culture, when someone is really depressed, flips out, etc they are expected to be an island though. That's just a way to blame the victim when in reality his support system should be blamed too.
That's what this movie is about. He never had support, tried hard to be nice, got kicked around too much, started seeing life as a sick joke, then went crazy.
That's real.
It does not do what we say it does. That's more delusional thinking.
You have almost zero influence in anything in your life.
Show up to McDonalds with your own cups, containers, etc and see how that goes. Bring some organic meat and ask them to fry it up for you. You'll pay double even!
The cops will be called.
He was pretending to shoot a person who wasn't a good dancer.
It was shown as him accidentally pulling the trigger because that's what he really wanted to do.
The Joker would be dancing around, imagining he's in a contest, see someone not dancing, shoot the person, then make some kind of pop culture joke like, "Sorry, you've been eliminated from the competition" like they would on reality TV. He would then laugh at the double meaning of "eliminated" and the fact there was no competition. That's the way Joker thinks, and that was the beginning.
Stop being a moron.
I didn't say sanitation was "discovered by accident" because what does that even fucking mean. I said it took hundreds if not thousands of years to develop.
There have been cities in Europe for thousands of years and up until recently this technology wasn't developed.
Also, there are NO replacements because none of the nonsense you're thinking about has replaced anything. A replacement is when something actually replaces a thing, not just when it "could".
They are almost always a type of white person though.
Those are good points.
However, I think the man was childlike and seemed innocent because he was blocking his true personality. He was trying to be good and it made him seem naive.
If you notice, he got more confident as the film when on. He was more confrontational, less scared, not afraid of violence, etc. In the end, a kind of cult forms around him and I would assume in the future he feels fully empowered to let it all out.
For Batman purposes, I wish they would have shown that he was a closet genius somehow.
I don't see any similarities.
Ledger had a skeptical, "What do we have here" quality where he's evaluating people's, to him, BS. He wants to create chaos to teach people that life is chaos.
This Joker looks at people like he can't fucking believe how rotten everyone is and that's it's happening again. A normal people would cry when he starts laughing. This Joker spends his time in disbelief which then turns to anger.
You can't get more nihilistic than to think everyone sucks and has no ethics. If you look it up the simple definition is that there are no moral or ethical principles, it's all fake. So, Joker figures that when it comes down to it everyone is out for themselves. In reality, even a hardcore inmate isn't going to mass murder people so he could live because he knows it's wrong. That disproves Joker and proves Batman's belief that people are good, a reason he doesn't kill people.
People STILL throw trash, diapers, etc out of windows. Take a walk and look.
What changed the middle ages was hundreds of years of inventing devices that made sanitation better. It wasn't like someone stood up and launched a movement to create sewers and water treatment plants, then they did.
Life does not work that way.
Currently, there is NO REPLACEMENT for anything being complained about. So, demanding change is ignorant and delusional.
Saying "we need to stop that" is just delusional nonsense.
How will you stop it?
You can't, so it's stupid to talk about it. People liter and dump trash since extreme ancient times. You will never ever get people to bring their own cups, containers, and wooden straws to a fast food place, lol.
No one will ever be able to change the way people live daily lives and how economic systems run unless they have hundreds of years to do it. The whole "we should" thing is total delusional nonsense.
The company that owns the character should.
This is easy to understand. If you make a Superman movie, they are going to make sure that all old fans and new fans get a character that is all about Superman's classic personality. That's because he is a "brand" that people like and trust.
If you read the comics, you know what is awesome about Joker. That has never been in any movie, for some bizarre reason. This movie is close though.
