And maybe he wouldn’t lash out at Murray Franklin and just started organizing instead.
And who’s Franklin ??
Murray Franklin is the talk show host character in the 2019 film “Joker”.
I’m not so sure. Fleck can see that the neurotypicals around him get treated a lot better, even the working class ones. Fleck wants to be a comedian, but he isn’t funny. He wants to make people laugh, but he doesn’t understand humour. Fleck’s problem isn’t just capitalism, it’s mostly his abusive mother who didn’t teach him how to make his way in the world. She stunted him. A communist revolution would make that better, but it wouldn’t fix it. There are more kinds of privilege than just economic, although economic privilege touches everything else.
What Fleck needs is a second childhood, with better role models who have patience for him. I strongly disagree with the notion that everyone’s an adult at 18. Growing up is about learning, and some people don’t get those chances to learn. Fleck’s a manchild. He needs to be treated like a child, and by that I mean care, kindness, and patience.
Wait… You’re actually talking about the ‘controlled system’, right ??
Has anyone else talked about this?
Who’s Arthur Fleck ??
He’s the Joker from the movie Joker
The protagonist/antagonist (who became the Joker) in the 2019 film “Joker” and the 2024 jukebox musical sequel “Joker: Folie a Deux”.
I also didn’t know and had to think about it for far too long.

Really… it’s a fine movie, but I doubt most people even remember who the character’s names were.
