Abstract

Characters in films are always created by applying basic human traits which are then built on conflicts and relationships between other characters. This relationship can generate motivation, need, desire and even fear. Negativity is usually always a part of that relationship because the expression of negativity is considered capable of provoking controversy and continues to be a curiosity because negativity is not something neutral. Negativity is also not nothing or zero but something that is not defined by itself but by its effect, it causes the quality of dualism. Joker is Batman's most famous antagonist. The film titled Joker directed by Todd Phillips tries to target how the Joker character whose real name is Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix) is constructed. This construction does not appear by itself but a result that stimulates it. Arthur Fleck's behavior in this film is considered an answer or response to the stimulation and the negativity manifests itself through Arthur Fleck.
