JOKER - copycat catalyst?

Posted by: Aussie on Oct 05, 15:00

Hi all

from what I'm seeing so far of the JOKER, I can't help but imagine this movie will provide a catalyst for disenchanted male youth, even older men, to copy the behaviour of the character.

I can really see the anonymity factor freeing the minds and subsequent actions of influenced people.

At bit like the Anonymous mask, but on a more powerful level.

I'm surprised no one has thought of this. Great work. (Apologies for the the fat thumbs above.) {nm} Wellespring Oct 05, 17:18

Ok...so how many "Saw" copycats were there? The issue is not whatever the catalyst is because there are many more types than just a movie. Catzan Oct 05, 18:07

"Saw" was in 2004. A lot has changed in 15 years. {nm} Aussie Oct 05, 21:16

Jigsaw came out 2017...8 movies of kidnapping and torture with another due out. {nm} Catzan Oct 05, 23:37

"kidnapping and torture" is not what JOKER is about Aussie Oct 06, 14:11

I thought your point was the film being a catalyst for violence. Any movie "could" be a catalyst and most are not. The Dark Knight Rises Catzan Oct 06, 20:32

That idea is all over the sensational news here. They even closed down a theater (in CA, I think) because of a "credible threat" ndmaster Oct 05, 20:51

So we should also remove all Saw movies, Natural born killers, Hostel movies, and why keep all Halloween, Fridays and Chainsaw movies??? Lukasck Oct 07, 08:21
