Arthur in the movie is a complete failure, and he is abandoned by almost everyone around him. At first, he participated in the psychological counseling provided by the government for free, but the effect was minimal. In the end, because the government cut spending, he was simply cancelled.
Then, he was pushed out by his peers, and a clown was laughed at by his peers. This is a very serious problem. Finally, I was fired by my boss, and I couldn't even do a funny performance well.
On the way home, the clown was humiliated by three white-collar workers in the subway and forced to draw a gun to defend himself.
