Joker: The Abandoned Ones (Matthew 25:45)

Arthur Fleck in Joker is failed by every system meant to help - mental health services defunded, social workers overwhelmed, family absent, society cruel. The film does not justify his violence but indicts a society that creates its own monsters. Jesus warned: whatever you did not do for the least of these, you did not do for me. Arthur becomes Joker not in a vacuum but in a city that refused to see him. The film disturbs because it refuses simple answers: Arthur is both victim and villain, both pitiable and terrifying. Judgment will fall on both the sinner and the society that shaped him.
