Джокер, Дарт Вейдер, Круэлла, Шрек — Антон Долин о культовых кинозлодеях

"Joker: A Madness That Splits the Divide," the sequel to Todd Phillips's 2019 smash hit, is hitting theaters worldwide. While critics are calling the second "Joker" a failure, interest in it was enormous from the start: audiences have become so enamored with the image of the terrifying killer clown, who finally has his own story. The Joker films are part of a larger cultural trend toward antihero stories, an attempt to reimagine and understand them. How do villains become villains? Are their traumas justifiable? Can we sympathize with them? And why do they intrigue us? The Joker, the Penguin, Woland, Darth Vader, Cruella, and even Shrek, who wasn't always a good guy—in the new episode of "Radio Dolin," Anton Dolin explores iconic antiheroes and their metamorphoses.
