“It’s a difficult film. In some ways, it’s good that people are having a strong reaction to it.' Joaquin Phoenix opens about Joker and the numerous headlines the movie has created in the lead-up
he wanted viewers to "sympathize or empathize with this villain.”. "It’s so easy for us to — we want the simple answers, we want to vilify people. It allows us to feel good if we can identify that as evil. ‘Well, I’m not racist ’cause I don’t have a Confederate flag or go with this protest.’ It allows us to feel that way, but that’s not healthy because we’re not really examining our inherent racism that most white people have, certainly. Or whatever it may be.
He continued, "Whatever issues you may have. It’s too easy for us and I felt like, yeah, we should explore this villain. This malevolent person. There’s no real communication, and to me that’s the value of this. I think that we are capable as an audience to see both of those things simultaneously and experience them and value them.”
