So, I typically like to keep things light and fun via social media, but I think today I am going to stir the pot just a little. Now, I am not one to judge or post controversy, but I would have to say that society has taken a pretty big step BACKWARDS when they released the movie The Joker. I was quite excited to see this movie and pushed through the entire 2+ hours, but when it was over, I was truly disgusted!
.

When we look at how mental illness is viewed in this country and the stigmas associated with the disorders, I am baffled on how anyone can think that this movie was a correct depiction of mental illness. In fact, it almost reconfirms that the bullshit stigma of mental health is STILL in full effect! Now… I understand this is a FICTIONAL movie and a basic origin story, but DC, the producers, and directors all crossed the line and I am calling them out on their horrible attempt to create a popular hit.
.
.
.
In light of the real world tragedies with mass shootings and the violence we see on a daily basis, I want to clarify a BIG part of the misinformation...
.
.
Mental illness does not promote violence
Mental illness does not breed hate
Mental illness does not shoot others
.
.
.
Again, I understand this is just a fictional movie with fictional characters, but it’s reconfirming the ignorance that society has towards what mental illness actually is. So, I am not asking anyone to NOT see this movie, but I am asking that if you do, take it for what it is… Just a MOVIE!
.
.
.
LAST, I would love to hear your comments on what others thought of the movie ad well... Whether you loved it or hated it!!! I am quite curious if the movie changed your perception on mental disorders, if it solidified your position on the violence in this country, and ultimately… did this movie help society become better?

The man doesn't know that there is a snake underneath. The woman doesn't know that there is a stone pressing on the man.

The woman thinks: "I am going to fall! and I can't climb because the snake is going to bite me! Why can't the man use a little more strengh and pull me up!" The man thinks: "I am in so much pain! Yet I'm still pulling you as much as I can! why don't you try and climb a little harder?!" The moral is: You can't see the pressure the other person is under, and the other person can't see pain you're in. This is life, no matter whether it's with work, family, feelings, friends, you should try to understand each other, learn to think differently, think of each other, and communicate better. Empathy!!! Walking in their shoes before placing judgment on them.
