Goetz: 1980s New York, was mugged and assaulted, started carrying a gun, was confronted on a subway, shot four people, was famously (if probably inaccurately) associated with executing someone after they'd already been shot, fled the city to avoid police, got lots of media attention and became a public figure over the issue of crime in the city.
Real life: people buy guns after incidents in where their safety was compromised. Some of those gun owners actually shoot people with said guns.
They'll be too busy being hysterical about something else and have gained zero self awareness.
It would be insane if the casting decisions were, like, "let's kill & stalk a bunch of black womens!" - that obviously didn't happen. But it's possible they produced a movie where the victims of gross actions are disproportionately brown women, and nobody in the editing room (or at the time of casting) took note and said, "actually this is kinda fucked up, we should change/reshoot one or two of these scenes!" And then the movie is contributing to a long history of unintentionally discriminating against (or punishing) brown women - of which there is a long history in American cinema.
You should probably refrain from having this conversation since you haven't actually seen the film. The majority of the violence does not involve PoC.
Troll how ?
This is so reductive of the similarities that by the same standard, the Joker has no homages or connection to The King of Comedy.
Yo, since you've seen the film, and Brody's thesis is apparently so absurd, it should be pretty easy to disprove it by talking about the text! I wasn't even inclined to defend the article after I read it; the word "parody" seems misused and invoking the Central Park Five seems too specific for what seems to be a more general scene of white dude being victimized. But after reading a flood of posts disagreeing with Brody for no articulated reason beyond "lol no" and "movie broke people's brains", it's hard not to think Brody has the movie pegged better than y'all.
This is an actual argument that makes sense to me. Does Fleck even attack any PoC in the film? Or is Brody just assigning racial violence to everything based on his interpretation of the opening scene?
There's only one confirmed act of violence towards a PoC that I remember and it was done off-screen.
Do you even know what an Incel is? Because this movie has nothing to do with that.
Incels = men watching a movie about Joker.
