joker costume and make up

Joker is a famous evil villain and i think his popularity is mainly because of his unusual sinister appearance which makes him very memorable to viewers as a character. First of all we see in this image and in most images of the joker he is in low key light. This suggests his dark presence and his sinister personality immediately. The low key light also makes his wrinkles obvious and makes his facial features stand out more as they shadow and become more significant. Firstly he has green curly hair. This is already abnormal and different and suggests that something isn't right with him as a character.The colour green in Egypt symbolises regeneration and rebirth and this may suggest that as 'the joker' he is being reborn into this evil character. His face is also painted white. White connotes purity and peace however he has almost poisoned the white with the other colours of black and red which connote negativity. His eyes are all black. Black suggests darkness in general and evil. The eyes are a key way of communicating and expressing emotions and so if he has surrounded his eyes with black he may be suggesting his emotions are black. He doesn't have any emotions ad if he does he is hiding them away. The make up is quite smeared as well which makes him look crazy and messed up even more as it spreads round his face. The fact that its smeared also makes his eyes look misshapen again suggesting there is something not right about him as a person. He has a big red line across his face as well. This looks like a very sinister smile and links to his name 'The Joker' again this is smeared and looks a bit like blood connoting evil and unnatural feelings.We also see how the make up goes into two points in his facial creases. This looks slightly like teeth suggesting some sort of brutal animal manor of being quite rough and insensitive maybe as a predator. It may also suggest he is some sort of monster with his big sharp teeth blackened eyes and blood on his face.
