Chapter 445: The Beauty of Fantasy
In the video, Arthur looked proud when talking about taking care of his mother because it was the only thing he could say.
At this time, many viewers outside the light curtain video felt the same way.
But of course they are unwilling to admit that they will have empathy with a madman. At most, they will say: "This madman's life experience is indeed worthy of sympathy and pity, but this is not the reason why he later committed evil and killed people!"
However, in the video, people gave Arthur warm applause, and Murray also applauded: "You have given so much, she must love you very much."
"Yes." Arthur said: "She always asked me to keep smiling and put on a smiling face. She said that I was born to spread laughter."
There was a small look of pride and pride on his face, and this was the only thing Arthur could be proud of.
The audience felt very sad when they saw this, because they had just seen what Arthur's mother did to him before. Regarding the relationship between mother and son, the facts were not as good as Arthur thought at this time. Simple and beautiful.
But at least Murray appreciated what Arthur said at this time, "Very good, I like what you said. Come on, come on stage and just rely on your words!"
Arthur smiled, and he smiled happily in the camera. This was obviously a smile of joy from his heart.
Encouraged by applause, he came to the stage and had close contact with the famous comedy host, but it happened to be TV commercial time.
It was also during this time that Murray said to Arthur: "You were great just now, Arthur, thank you. I like listening to your stories. I'm very happy."
Arthur also smiled and said: "Thank you, Murray."
Murray looked at the audience, "Have you seen these audiences, lights, and performances? If I could have a child like you, I would give up all this without hesitation!"
Arthur smiled even wider and stepped forward to hug him.
Seeing such a heartwarming scene, it is difficult for people to connect the filial child with a bright and sunny smile in the camera, who is proud of taking good care of his mother, with the crazy joker who brings chaos and fear to Gotham.
Peter Parker couldn't help but said: "Arthur... no wonder you admire him. This Murray is indeed a good man. His encouragement is very important to you and can help you get out of these difficulties."
Frankly speaking, before learning that Arthur was the joker, the little spider had a very good sense of Arthur, and he sympathized with Arthur's mental illness, life experience, and experience.
If possible, he hopes that Arthur will always be Arthur and not become a joker.
Arthur curled up his lips when he heard this but said nothing. Sheriff Gordon frowned and said, "I think this is a bit strange. He would say such things when he saw you for the first time? It's a bit unreasonable."
Bruce Wayne said in a deep voice: "This is your fantasy, not what really happened, right, Arthur."
Arthur grinned: "Who knows, who cares?"
In the video, Arthur went to work again the next day. In the dressing room, he had no clothes on his upper body, revealing his skinny body. Looking from the back, it looked like several bones were about to pierce the skin, which didn't look very good. Normal, a little misshapen.
He was trying hard to repair his pair of clown shoes, when a middle-aged fat colleague came over. He said hello to Arthur. He learned that Arthur had been bullied by gangsters before, so he gave him He brought a gun and told him to use it to protect himself from being bullied.
Arthur was very surprised, looked around, and lowered his voice and said: "Landao, you know, I can't hold a gun!"
He suffers from mental illness, so of course he cannot possess dangerous weapons such as firearms, but Landau told him not to worry, no one would know about it, and he would protect him.
The concern from his colleagues made Arthur feel better, but soon he was severely beaten by his boss.
Arthur used to work as a clown for a musical instrument store to attract customers, but he was robbed by a group of gangsters. Not only was he beaten, but even the billboard was robbed.
But the boss didn't care about this at all. He just kept insisting that he return the billboard, otherwise his wages would be deducted. At the same time, he kept saying that he was a freak, and his colleagues were very reluctant to have contact with Arthur.
When he was hit by this blow, Arthur in the video camera looked just like him outside the light curtain video, with a big smile on his face, and the corners of his mouth almost reached his ears.
Normal people use smiles to express their happiness and happiness, but for Arthur it seems more complicated. Not at all times, the smile on his face represents happiness and joy.
In the video, Arthur finally went alone to the alley where he was beaten, trying to find the billboard. Naturally, he found nothing. He had to vent his anger and kicked the trash can, and finally sat down on the trash heap. , as if he, like the garbage around him, are all abandoned things in this city.
He had a bad day, but luckily, upon returning home, Arthur met a black girl who caught his eye.
The other person smiled at him. Although it seemed a little strange, it did calm Arthur's bad mood a little.
Seeing this, some viewers started to complain. This is like a vulgar midnight drama plot. Is great love going to save the mentally ill?
When Arthur returned home, he personally helped his mother take a bath. During the conversation, Arthur talked about his dream of becoming a famous comedian, but his mother was very surprised: "You want to be a comedian? But comedians are not meant to make other people laugh. Is talent good?”
It turns out that Arthur's ideals and work were not even recognized by his mother. Maybe he could only amuse himself?
Next, Arthur began to secretly follow the black girl. He learned that the girl's name was Sophie and she was a single mother. Arthur followed her for a day until nightfall and went to a club to watch a comedy show.
But Arthur's laughter was completely different from that of other viewers. When others were amused and laughed, he remained silent, and when others were silent, Arthur was laughing.
After returning home, Arthur began to take notes. He scrawled with his left hand: "The worst thing about having a mental illness is that people want you to pretend that you are not sick."
At this time, single mother Sophie suddenly came to the door and asked straight to the point if Arthur had followed her during the day.
She also behaved very strangely. She didn't feel offended by Arthur, but encouraged him to be more proactive.
Seeing this, Chief Gordon said thoughtfully: "This is your fantasy again, right?"
"No, no..." Arthur stared blankly at Sophie on the screen, shook his head and murmured: "This is not a fantasy."
