Matching Pairs Movie Review (Elements)Online version Match the paragraphs from the movie review of 'The Joker' to each correct writing element. by María Fernanda López Avilez 1 'The Joker' doesn't necessarily make an invitation to real-life violence, but it does represent a horrifying form of invitation — not just a call to sympathize with the devil, but a justification for the hell he creates. One thing is true though, we can agree that the filmmaker did a good job at making many people identify with the movie character. 2 Everything about the storytelling — the dakness, the invasive sound design, the colors and lighting— is designed to be oppressive, and make the audience see Arthur’s point of view as the main victim of all the oppression. 3 For many viewers, “Joker” is a movie about a mental ill killer who feels like he deserves the world’s attention — a man who’d rather kill for a good laugh than let the world to treat him like its punchline. People also think that is a movie about the effects of a capitalistic system. 4 The most shocking part of the plot— and the cause for so much of the concern around Joker — is that when he accepts his destructive impulses, he suddenly gets the attention he didn't have before. That may not fully motivate him, but it's kind of like a message for the audience that feels closest to Arthur, those who feel lonely and in pain. Many people agree with you that the world is unfair and ugly, and if you did something about it, then it'd be fine. 5 The main character, Arthur Fleck, is a part-time rent-a-clown mentally ill man who takes meds and therapy in order to feel better, but even after that, he seems not to find the peace he needs. That tension between sympathy and violence is one of the most honest things about Joker, which mostly goes out of its way to make the world mean. While working as a sign-twirler, Arthur is randomly beaten by some kids, who steal his sign and then break it over his head. His boss not only doesn’t believe his story, he demands Arthur pay for the sign. The dramatic ironies and injustices during this film, until it’s clear that Arthur isn’t paranoid, let us know that the world really is out to get him. And then he takes violent, inevitable action. 6 Todd Phillips’ “Joker” (2019) is the craziest reinvention of “superhero” film since “The Dark Knight”; a true original that’s sure to be remembered as one of the most popular movies of the 21st Century. Conclusion: Announce whether the filmmaker succeeded in his/her goal, paraphrase your evidence. Also, explain how the film helped in developing a deeper understanding of the course topic. Summary: Provide a brief overview of the story. Opinion: Support your opinion with facts and examples from the story. Analysis of the events: Analyze the plot and important events like action, climax. Introduction: Include the name of the movie/documentary, its release date, and background information. Creative elements: Describe the characters, dialogues, camera work, costumes, use of colors, genre, tone, symbols, or anything that adds to or misses from the overall story.
