The Joker: A Moral Punch?
Stephen Galloway at HollywoodReporter.com offers praise for the near-pornographic violence in the new film Joker with Joaquin Phoenix. Like Stanley Kubrick’s 1971 A Clockwork Orange, which garnered an X rating and a public outcry, the visceral impact of Joker sickens, yet packs a moral punch unlike anything in recent memory. Should Warner Brothers and others make gruesome films like Joker? Does the new movie show that someone in Hollywood still knows the difference between right and wrong? More from Scott Ott and Bill Whittle.
