In the Dark Knight the audience doesn't really know the background of the Joker or who he really is. The Joker's character is a mysterious one. We all know he is a liar because he gives multiple stories on how he got his scars: he first states that his dad was a "fiend" and asks "why so serious" and he cuts a smile into his face, in another scene he hints that his wife has a deformed face and they have no money for surgeries so he sticks a razor in his mouth. He leads into a third story but before he can finish, batman attacks him. This one example alone creates a tremendous portrayal of the Joker's delusional mind. In the scene where the Joker burns the money we see he is not the average criminal in which he doesn't care about money. To me the Joker is just a messed up guy who wants to be superior to everyone.
Do you think the joker epitomizes Alfred's phrase, "Some men just want to watch the world burn"?
ReplyDeleteI really like the moment where he burns the money; the look on the Russian's face when he sees all of that cash going up in flames really says that he didn't understand The Joker either.
ReplyDeleteMake sure that you're capitalizing all of the right words (e.g. Batman) and that your sentences don't run too long.
"We all know he is a liar because he gives multiple stories on how he got his scars: he first states that his dad was a 'fiend' and asks 'why so serious' and he cuts a smile into his face, in another scene he hints that his wife has a deformed face and they have no money for surgeries so he sticks a razor in his mouth." --
This sentence has a lot of ideas; break it into smaller chunks:
"We all know he is a liar because he gives multiple stories about how he got his scars. He first states that his dad was a 'fiend' and asks, 'Why so serious' as he cuts a smile into The Joker's face. In another scene he hints that his wife has a deformed face and because they have no money for surgeries, he sticks a razor in his mouth to look more like her."
what do you think couldve happened to the joker to make im the way he is??.. and how do you think he got his scars?
