In light of certain… takes that have cropped up in regards
to Todd Phillip’s Joker, a film we’ll be getting to once it makes it to Aussie
cinemas, I want to reiterate something: Films should be allowed to have lead
characters that aren’t good people. Narratives about seedier characters,
whether they’re born primarily from a writer’s imagination or varyingly based
on real-life deplorables, can make for great works of art, let alone film.
