Struggling with his dual identity, failed comedian Arthur Fleck meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn, while incarcerated at Arkham State Hospital. Lady Gaga, Brendan Gleeson and writer-director Todd Phillips talk about what scared them the most about the musical sequel. . Plus, Gaga discusses how she got into her dark persona and how she stayed with it. The film’s subtitle “Folie a Deux” means “The Madness of the Two”; in French This initially led to speculation that Harley Quinn would appear in the film, which was soon confirmed. The name Folie a Deux comes from the 19th century French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret. The term was coined to describe two or more people who share the same insanity or delusion. Also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome. The foreman of the jury for the "People of New York" Instead of Gotham City. This is because New York State is the plaintiff in the criminal case, and this version of Gotham City is obviously located in New York State (most versions of Gotham are located in New Jersey). Arthur Fleck: [Written as an angry autograph with a sad smiley face] I HOPE YOU GET CANCER. The film opens with the Looney Tunes title, showing the Warner Bros logo surrounded by rings and the Joker’s face. AniMat Crazy Animated Movie: The Wicked Discovery of Life (2022). Merrily We Roll Along Written by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher and Charles Tobias. I avoided reading reviews or watching trailers before seeing the movie because I had incredibly high expectations. With stars like Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, I expected an intense and deep portrayal of the Joker, who is known for his dark, complex and psychopathic nature. While Phoenix and Gaga give solid performances, the film doesn’t deliver the story we all wanted. Instead of delving into the Joker’s twisted psyche, we’re treated to a strange mix of musical numbers and dance sequences that feel out of place and often appear every few minutes without any purpose. The Joker’s suffering, darkness and complexity are all missing. Worse, we all know this isn’t the *real* Joker from the comics or previous movies. But even with this freedom, the film lacks the exploration of the psychological, more chaotic side of the character. Instead, we’re left with a shallow version of what could have been an engaging dive into madness. Supporting characters like Harley Quinn (played by Gaga) are equally underserved. Instead of living up to their notoriously toxic dynamic, her character feels one-dimensional and their relationship lacks depth. The lack of meaningful interactions between Joker and characters like Murray Franklin or even the inmates of Arkham drains the story of any tension or intrigue. It’s a shame, because with the right direction, this could have been one of the best films of the year. Instead, it’s a disappointment. Save your time and money – this movie doesn’t live up to the hype. See a list of exciting new films from this year’s film festivals, including Venice, TIFF, New York Film Festival and more.
