Have you had a chance to see the joker yet?
I heard that it was very violent and disturbing so I was nervous about seeing it.
I heard that too, I was surprised that is was not what I was expecting at all. I think it spoke to deeper issues in society.
What were some of the issues?
It dealt a lot with how society treats people who are different. It really made me think about how simple actions can influence people.
That is a good point. Movies are good at putting you into the mindset of other people.
That is what I like about movies, they are so powerful when they transport you to a different time and place.
Did you not think the joker was too violent?
Not really. It was not any worse than the violence in other movies. Like Dr. Sleep for example.
I heard about that one. Isn't that a sequel for something.
Yeah! It is a sequel to the shining. It is also based on a book. I read it a couple years ago.
Did you like it?
I thought The Shining was book was so much scarier than the movie, it is interesting to see how they adapt the books into movies.
Do you think that the violence in these movies promote violence in public?
I think that there are always going to be people that blame violence on what they see on the screen. People will always place blame on something else.
I can see that, I might stick to the Disney movies though.
