Even if you don’t plan on seeing Joker in the theatres, or maybe ever, you can’t deny the media storm the newest and darkest comic book movie has stirred up. For a movie that has only just arrived in theatres, it has already been in headlines everywhere for weeks, causing the cast and director to have to rush to it’s defense. But for those who haven’t been reading up on entertainment news every day, here’s what you might have missed!
After winning the most prestigious prize at the Venice film festival and receiving an amazing eight minute standing ovation, the movie quickly received a bit of backlash from various critics and audience members, who question whether or not the movie and its lead character might end up inciting violence among some more radical viewers. While it might seem like an overreaction, there is actually a very long history of movies doing just that. That’s not to say that violence shouldn’t be allowed in movies, but the conversation is an important one to have!
Aside from all of that, there is all of Joaquin’s strange behind the scenes antics and stories about his relationship with Robert De Niro that have added fuel to the fire, even before director Todd Phillips got involved with his comments about what “ruined” comedy. We’ve got all the crazy details in the video below, so check it out!
