"Violence" in film has been depicted in various ways. In this essay, we will discuss how "violence," especially "people's uprising," is represented in a film Joker (2019). The film tells a story about how a protagonist named Arthur Fleck became Joker as a typical "villain" in "Batman" movies. His violence seems meaningless, but it has one moment when our ordinary recognition of "violence" transforms. By arguing the reversal of its meaning, we will explore a possibility and limit of "violence" in film.
