Commentary on the movie “JOKER” #8 Get a gun in the locker room
A scene filled with hints
Randall gives the gun to Arthur | Joker [UltraHD, HDR]
You can see Arthur's distorted back.
This distorted shape feels like a representation of his state of mind.
There is a bruise on the upper right of his back. Is this bruise a trace of him being tied to a radiator?
Who tied him up ... maybe Thomas Wayne's subordinate ... even if it's unclear, it's true that he was tied up.
This is the locker room, the same as the opening scene in the movie.
My colleague Randall came and talked to Arthur.
“You okay? I heard about the beat down you took. Fucking savages. “
This line is important. Randall knew that Arthur had been attacked.
In the scene after this, the boss blamed Arthur for not reporting the attack, but everyone knew it.
Then, Randall gave Arthur a gun.
In the scenario:
Randall comes over, hands Arthur a brown paper bag—Arthur looks inside, sees a GUN, a .38 SNUB-NOSED REVOLVER.
Arthur looks back up at Randall, confused--
RANDALL Take it. You gotta protect yourself out there. Or you're gonna get fucked.
As Arthur stares at the gun--
ARTHUR (whispering) Randall, I'm not supposed to have a gun.
RANDALL Don't sweat it, Art. No one has to know. And you can pay me back some other time. You know you're my boy.
Later, Arthur will be betrayed by Randall, so this is a hint for that time.
A dwarf Gary came in and said that his boss, Hoyt, was calling Arthur.
Here Randall made fun of Gary being a dwarf.
It is a hint that means "Randall is a terrible guy, so he will do terrible things later." Randall betrayed Arthur and was finally killed
Randall's mean joke made Arthur laugh so much that Gary had a hurt face, but Arthur wasn't funny and laughed.
Arthur laughs when he doesn't want to laugh, and every time he laughs, he seems to hurt himself.
P.S. I’m sorry! My English may be strange because I’m Japanese!
I’m studying English!!
