Part 7/7:
As Arthur is enveloped by the madness he has unleashed, the film concludes with him at Arkham State Hospital, laughing at something beyond comprehension—a transformation complete, leaving a trail of destruction in his wake. The closing images of him dancing in the hallway, leaving bloody footprints, encapsulate the stark themes of mental illness and societal failure.
Joker is not merely a film about a man turned monster; it is a chilling exploration of the intersection of mental illness, societal neglect, and the implications of violence. It challenges its viewers to confront uncomfortable truths about our world—truths that often lie beneath the surface of a Joker’s smile.
