Abstract: This essay uses the postmodernist theory to explain the clown image in American movies. The author sorts out the definition of the role of the clown and summarizes the changes of a clown under postmodernism. In addition, from recent year’s American films, such as IT, The Dark Knight, and Joker (2019), the author adopts specific image analysis and traces the reasons behind it. The essay will see the concept of Postmodernism in the change of the role of the clown. In postmodernism, the original order is broken. The absurd world may be more in line with the reality of the subverted world.
