This publication is not going to be focused on the history of the film to give an explanation to the reader, we will only concentrate on the character as a significant and interpretative symbol before our reality . And given the explanation we will start with the topic:

Talking about the film entitled Joker, which has just been released this October 4, under the performance of Joaquin Phoenix, and directed by Todd Phillips, is to enter into the harsh reality of the character Arthur Fleck, who is a person suffering from psycho-emotional problems, and that it can be at first sight before any one of us someone who is going through a bad economic streak, lousy relationships with co-workers, caring for a family member who can't fend for himself, leading a routine life, and even being an asocial person; so any one of us may feel identified to a certain extent by living under those circumstances, and even more so if loneliness becomes our only companion, a bad friend and counselor. And if we add to all this the fact of suffering from some type of psychological disorder that could well be schizophrenia (for example), it makes life even more unbearable for those who suffer from it.

This suggests that, in Western societies, crises or psycho-emotional disorders are not at the top of the agenda in the public opinion debate in order to find solutions that allow us to address such a situation and go to its causes. Normally this responsibility is left to certain private sectors such as the pharmaceutical industry, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the universities of great prestige worldwide, under their department of studies. Now, the statistical work carried out by both sectors, normally has as a population sample for its analysis certain countries (United States of America, England, etc.), which have socio-economic characteristics typical of the so-called first world, that is, industrialized countries that have an accelerated and intense economic rhythm, unlike those that could well be those that are in the process of development, where life is made more a mena by its own condition without being free of problems of any kind.

In the event that a person suffers from some syndrome that is considered as pathological, usually resort to drugs for its treatment, managing to attend and appease their condition for the moment, but, if their situation is different and has no such thing, then comes to opt for the thousands of products belonging to the world of entertainment, fashion, food, among others, to forget their demons and fill internal "gaps". And even with all this, human beings have natural ways to face the misfortunes and "emotional crises" of everyday life, such as faith, hope, love, and sense of humor ; and that the latter, applying it properly or not, becomes their refuge and strength. Already in a harmful way we can see in turn with the character called the Comedian (belonging to the comic of The Watchmen), this and the Joker are a reflection of what could be considered black humor, satirical and even mocking. And that these characteristics are not unique in people with such personality traits and their respective pathologies, but are also present in a considerable part of the people of our society, which may well be normalized to be promoted and reinforced through the media (including and greater scope is television as a means of consumption and entertainment present in most homes). When a custom becomes a norm, values such as empathy, solidarity, fraternity, among others, are shown as a weakness or a simple passing fashion to be replaced by what is contrary to these, so that it would give rise to chaos, disorder, and even possible self-destruction within society. That is why society itself must watch over and protect the latter in order to guarantee their self-preservation, working among all the actors that make it up so that, within homes, educational, religious, political and other institutions, they seek to maintain their own civilization, something that has allowed the group of human beings so diverse among themselves, to live together under the framework of reason and emotion in equilibrium over time.

The Joker, is nothing more than a being that has motivations seen in a twisted way before those others who possess moral and ethical values. It is a reflection of human nature somewhat disrupted by certain pathological diseases that are beyond our control, but that still do not have them, could with only their presence in the same way, raise what much of us human beings keep inside, a sense of destruction by those around us, turn the drama into a joke when we feel we can not find it, and cry out for attention by the means that are possible using violence.
