According to various reports, the popular movie “Joker” directed by Todd Phillips is likely to be banned from being shown on Japanese television. The film is a horror work with the twisted psychology of the classic villain “Joker” in “Batman”. It is also the world‘s first R-rated film with a box office revenue of over $1 billion. At the same time, it won 11 awards at the 92nd Oscar and played the leading role. Joaquin Phoenix of “Joker” is also highly praised for his superb acting skills.
According to relevant sources, the reason for the ban on the film was the indiscriminate attack on the Tokyo Keio Line on October 31, in which 18 people were seriously injured. After being arrested, Anan mentioned his admiration for the movie character “Joker”. Because of the scene where the clown kills people on the train in the movie, he also imitated wearing a suit with strange color matching when committing crimes. Because there have been too many attacks that imitated the train in the past, there are some opinions that the broadcast of “Joker” on TV may encourage similar crimes.
Although the ban has not yet been officially confirmed, the film was originally released in Japan with a PG15 restriction. Originally, after editing, there was a chance to be shown on TV. However, after this incident, it is not only expected that it will not be broadcast on TV in the future, but will be re-opened in movie theaters in the future. It will be difficult to show this movie, and there are differences on whether it is banned or not. Interested readers may wish to pay more attention to relevant information.
