The Joker is a film so much about America and modernity. Joaquin nails it. The weight of a society bearing down on you and splintering any support and stability you have. it's like the sort of older white mans version of The Message. Actually, yeah, I think it's almost nothing about comic book stories, and a chillingly plainspoken tale about, for "life on the ground floor", for how fragmented white America is rn. The churches collapsed, a lot of families are not functional, and the types of employment that used to exist and be passable for working wages doesn't exist any more. the film is set in the 80s, but the Joker is basically 2020s white America in the every-man sense. And, of course, nobody in power cares about you.
