clown pas de deux Positioning itself as a musical; in the first film to be nominated for an Oscar, it’s probably a nod to the fact that the work of Martin Scorsese draws so much from it. taxi driver. However, the guy with no original ideas is back – Todd Phillips instead came up with ideas from, for example, The Shawshank Redemption After the death of talk show host Murray Franklin, Jacques Demy told the story of the Joker, which the world saw on television. Since then, there’s been a TV movie about the Joker’s crimes in Gotham – and his upcoming trial of the century – which was the original plan The Dark Knight Rises Didn’t Heath Ledger unfortunately pass away? More on Joker — a courtroom drama and, yes, a musical with Lady Gaga, because why not? There’s also a love story – the film touches on too many threads to really tie them together.
The Fleck/Joker dual identity was explored at the end of the first film, as we brought the characters from the previous film back on stage and put on trial to examine how Fleck’s descent into madness affected their lives. Zazie Beetz’s Sophie Dumond tells Fleck’s inner story, as the lies his mother told him slowly become his entire character in a way she never expected. The court knew he had only killed five people – they did not know they had also killed his mother. Leigh Gill will return as Gary Puddles, giving a heart-wrenching performance as a man hunted in fear and barely able to walk out without being scared. Both Sophie and Padel’s lives are changed forever and thrust into the spotlight by the charismatic and ruthless Harvey Dent, played by Harry Lawty, who wants Fleck sentenced to death.
The gothic cinematography that haunts Gotham and Arkham Asylum is captured from the very essence of the first film. It looks shabby, cold, and unwelcoming—a common theme in good Batman comics is that they make the city feel like a character in its own right—but that’s pas de deux Struggling. The city feels like it’s on the verge of a turning point, but most of the film takes place in the courtroom or Arkham; it never feels alive or alive. The running theme for fans is pas de deux Abandoning and betraying the legacy of the first film. That means the first film, with any legacy to stand on, was a cheap copycat – just like this rushed, hackneyed drama.
Much has been made of the twisted “subversion” of Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn or her Lee being the dominant figure in the Harley/Joker relationship, but there’s no drama at all here. Music is used as a tool for the characters to show who has the upper hand at a given moment, and as a way for Joker and Lee to express their relationship, but there’s nothing here – it doesn’t fully commit to either way. It’s a half-hearted musical because it also has to be a courtroom drama. It couldn’t be a courtroom drama because it would have to spend time developing Joker/Lee and their relationship. It couldn’t be a romantic movie because it needed to be a movie about a clown. It couldn’t be a movie about the Joker because it needed to be a courtroom movie. And so on and so forth – the cycle repeats itself. There are so many examples of too much and not enough – the best part of this movie is the agency Lady Gaga’s Harley Quinn has, but Lee isn’t as good in this movie as you’d hope That way. For a movie to be marketed around Gaga starring in a Joker movie, at least give her a more prominent role.
Joaquin Phoenix also feels like a misguided, weak character. He’s not a bad actor, which has been proven time and time again, but he can’t make anything about Fleck believable; in fact, this might be his worst performance yet. His performance is weird, while everyone around him is half-assed and barely cares – the tone is disconnected from the rest of the film. Phoenix was awkward and off-key, and everything about the ending felt horribly fake. It feels like an escape. It feels like Todd Phillips was trying to have his cake and eat it too – tying in too many points in the DC canon in a movie that was supposed to be beyond comic book nonsense, and yet its ending just feels like is the most comic book bullshit thing.
Many are labeled pas de deux As a film that deliberately destroys its own ambitions, it deliberately destroys this film in the same way Matrix Resurrection Warner Bros. is said to be working on doing this so that Warner Bros. will never have the creators make another movie for them. However, that means Phillips is some kind of creative mastermind rather than a hacker—the film hopes it’s as smart, brave, daring, fearless, or brilliant as he is. Matrix Resurrection.
