ReplyDelete*Main Objective
*Mention the specific dates of the objective (i.e. since the movie was released worldwide until today Nov. 6).
How will this impact be measured, I would ask what characteristics of the Joker are related to civil unrest

ReplyDeleteThis objective is a very interesting one given how society has embraced the Joker (a villain) while demonstrating their disillusionment. Instead of focusing on the social commentary, try to analyze WHY a society would empathize with a stereotypical supervillain. These protests are occurring simultaneously in different cultural settings and they have different objectives. I believe it would be interesting to see how the Joker's objectives in the movie correspond with the objectives of the various protests occurring worldwide. What do both wish to achieve and are there similarities? If so, what does it say about a society that can identify itself with a supervillain instead of the hero? Overall, this makes for a very interesting analysis given that the movie has caused an unexpected societal impact
