1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:04,840
Speaker 1: Joker is already the most successful October movie release of

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: all time. How many Joker movies are we going to

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,640
Speaker 1: have to have here? Anyway? Not everybody's happy about the

4
00:00:10,760 --> 00:00:15,200
Speaker 1: successive Joker film critics. Rebecca Ritzl says that she has

5
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:17,640
Speaker 1: no intention of seeing it. She says the movie has

6
00:00:17,720 --> 00:00:22,600
Speaker 1: crushed the souls of many women who write about film.

7
00:00:22,640 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: Almost all female film critics have panned the movie. Miss

8
00:00:26,239 --> 00:00:30,280
Speaker 1: Ritzell says female critics are upset that so many Americans

9
00:00:30,320 --> 00:00:33,200
Speaker 1: are going to see Joker. One calls it the most

10
00:00:33,200 --> 00:00:36,159
Speaker 1: depressing film she's ever seen. She says it's humorless, it

11
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 1: lacks empathy. Another says the movie is marketed to the

12
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:44,520
Speaker 1: sort of misunderstood adolescents who could potentially become mass shooters.

13
00:00:45,280 --> 00:00:48,920
Speaker 1: Yet the movie is getting great reviews overall. That's because

14
00:00:49,040 --> 00:00:52,199
Speaker 1: male movie critics, who outnumber female film critics by a

15
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:55,200
Speaker 1: two to one ratio, like it for the most part. Now,

16
00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:58,400
Speaker 1: these guy critics, they don't think the movie is sympathetic

17
00:00:58,440 --> 00:01:00,840
Speaker 1: to the bad guy, and they don't leave it promotes

18
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 1: violence or anything of the sort. To them, Joker is

19
00:01:04,840 --> 00:01:08,839
Speaker 1: a comic book villain. Their souls are not crushed after

20
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: seeing the movie, and they're not upset that so many

21
00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:14,120
Speaker 1: Americans are going to see it. The moral of the

22
00:01:14,200 --> 00:01:16,920
Speaker 1: story is that in many ways, men and women are different.

23
00:01:17,360 --> 00:01:20,720
Speaker 1: They might even be born that way. And how many

24
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,080
Speaker 1: of you are fed up with comic books being turned

25
00:01:23,120 --> 00:01:25,240
Speaker 1: into movies for crying it? Can we grow up
