今晚，在美国军队的警告下，连锁影院禁止人们身着华纳兄弟新电影《小丑》的戏服去看电影。你能介绍我为小丑吗？AMC连锁影院禁止携带面具化妆或带有任何遮盖脸部的东西，而地标剧院则完全禁止戏服。本周军方警告说，这部电影的上映可能会带来潜在的威胁。官员们首先发送了一封内部电子邮件，然后是一份备忘录，说明了在某个未指明的剧院发生大规模枪击的可能性。军方后来表示，他们不知道针对一个特定地点或场所的具体可信威胁。人们担心这部电影传达的信息可能会引发极光影院枪击案的幸存者的愤怒情绪。《小丑》的导演托德·菲利普斯邀请人们先去看电影。此电影表达了一些关于世界上爱的缺失、童年创伤和人们缺乏同情心的观点。我认为人们可以处理好这个信息。下周电影《小丑》将登陆院线。
