This 47 slide PowerPoint Presentation looks closely at the narratives that surrounded the film Joker upon its release, from both fans, critics and the corporate media. The presentation explores the division in reception between divergent groups of viewers or commentators. The main criticisms and defense of the film are presented and explored, with opportunities for interactive discussion and debate. Students are challenged to consider the film’s main themes and how the release of a controversial movie like this one prompts a variety of responses and re-frames the film’s central meanings as new ‘narratives’ spring up around the film, making the encompassing rhetoric another topic for discussion and analysis.
