Joker: Folie à Deux | Official Teaser Trailer | Out Oct 4
- Thread starter IDontBeatGames
- Start date
It seems more like the Joker is put on trial for his actions which causes pandemonium in the city as he has a legion of supporters. And so we're going tog et his trial along with questions about why he did what he did interspersed with his own internal musical rendition to explain his thoughts and actions.
No. Her version wouldn't fit. Gaga is a better fit already judging by the trailer.
This takes place well before there is a Batman, Bruce Wayne was a child in the first Joker. It would be too confusing to use Suicide Squad Harley here and have people like the ones on Era going crazy with multiverse theories lol
Not trying to be mean, but this is a terrible idea. Completely different tone, world, and character.
This Joker isn't the one that fights battle. In my mind, this is just one that inspired him years later. Cause you see all the people dressing like him. Same could be true for Harley.
My comment got piled on looks like hah. Not a fan of Gaga's acting, but oh well.
How little? Bat wheels is good but it's definitely for like 7 and under. Plus all the Lego DC stuff, and league of super pets.
Not as far as I know. Hopefully it gets back to being goofy. The 90s films get hate, but they're really fun. I want to see Batman become that again.
Best you've got is last years Merry Little Batman. Which was a pretty fun little Christmas feature to enjoy.

I dunno about watching it in April though, you may want to wait till the holiday season wraps around again to check it out.

Maybe running im the background not specifically sung by Joker or Harley every time?
Joker is one of the greatest films ever created and I'll die on that hill.
It's a callback to the first movie, that exact exchange happened between Joaquin and Zazi
There isn't a cultural consensus on it, people have different opinions on it.
It's the third time the same movie has been made.
Taxi Driver, King of Comedy, Joker
Its a well made movie with great acting but wouldn't put it up there with the other two because it's so derivative.
He's delusional. And a folie à deux is a shared delusion.
Folie à deux - Wikipedia
Loved the trailer. We were a little confused about Harley and how she'll fit into the official back story for the character but maybe she won't at all.
People say this so I went back and watched Taxi and KOC, and while Joker does take inspiration from both, these films are far from the same. One is about a deranged lunatic who hates to see black pimps on the street so goes on a murder spree, one is about a lunatic who fails at comedy and kidnaps his idol, and one is about a lunatic that is tired of depression/being bullied so he finds joy in killing the people who did him dirty and becomes a sociopath. Taking inspiration from ≠ The same movie.
They all have the same beats. They all share a common theme of alienation leading to violence in an aesthetically 70s new york. I enjoyed it but I don't know how it radically changes the formula that I'd put it above the others to be "one of the best of all time".
I wouldn't say alienation lead to Travis' murder spree it was more his hatred/despise for a certain group of people. It doesn't radically change the formula but it doesn't have to either, Phoenix's performance is one of the best on film, the score is brilliant, the cinematography is excellent and the ending scene with De Niro is amazing imo, the plot falls off at times but I thought it was just damn good saw it multiple times. It's a really divisive film, critics didn't like it as much but the public praised it, I mean winning golden lion at Venice and getting 11 Oscar nominations is no small feat not to mention it's box office record.
I think it was a great movie, just not one of best of all time.
Such a waste of Phoenix's talent. I hate when movies think they're way smarter than they actually are.
Yes, acting in prestigious dramas and winning awards is such a waste.
It's amazing just how many times I've seen this utterly pretentious line repeated about this movie.
He carried the first one on his back and the awards you speak of mostly revolve around him.
So yeah, that's a waste.
It's pretentious to call a movie pretentious now ?
The first one got him an Oscar, so he probably feels differently...
It was nominated for 11 Oscars and won 2. It also made a billion dollars.
He got millions and won an oscar. This is the definition of the movie and this role not being a waste. Plus I am pretty damn sure he wants to do it.
This is what is expected from your lead in a character study film.
Yeah they won Best actor and Best original score. Doesn't really goes against anything I said though.
You can also expect the director to properly explore and critique the themes he put in his movie though, it's not mutually exclusive.
It won multple academy awards, was nominated for even more including best picture and it made over 1 billion dollars at the box office. How is that even remotely close to a waste of anyones talent? You not personally liking it has 0 relevance in this equation.
The first movie was interesting with a great performance by Phoenix but probably not a movie I'll ever want to watch again. The trailer is phenomenal visually so if its just that again sign me up.
He was paid to do a challenging performance and got an Oscar for it, even carried it to earning a billion dollars. It wasn't a waste of his time, if it was he wouldn't have signed up for doing that physically grueling role for himself again.
The entire narrative of Joker is contingent on its themes moving the plot. It's a well-made character study, that cannot be achieved without Arthur's own introspection. Not sure what you're on about to be honest.
First movie also won the Venice Golden Lion. Regardless of our personal opinions and takes (needless to say, but everyone is allowed and entitled to dislike, strongly dislike and even hate if so wish. You do you), that is a hella mad feat on it's own.
No matter what or how far from source, it's still a comic book character production in one of the highest prestige festivals. Managing to win it is impressive by itself.

What made the first movie think it was smart? Was it the strong cinematography, score and acting? Or was it the fact that the whole film closely focused on the theme that societal neglect of the mentally unwell coupled with making them a source of mockery will lead to violence.
