Hope you enjoyed our discussion in this episode. What do you think of Joker: Folie a Deux? And what are some of your favorite Joaquin Phoenix movies? Let us know!
I really enjoyed the Joker 2 film. The musical sequences I thought worked. They're clever, because Arthur is pathetic he has no imagination, the sequences are just him imagining himself singing his favorite love songs. Has a vibe of sitting alone, being lonley, drinking coffee, and listening to the cafe's jukebox.
That's an interesting take on why the musical sequences were designed in the way they were, and does make sense. I guess I was just hoping they would give more energy into a movie that was moving so slowly, also I am bias as someone who doesn't like jukebox musicals. thanks for listening and sharing your thoughts! - Alex
@@moviesshapedpod Well the film is a Tragedy. The vibe of the film I think is meant to be tempered to a slow burn and not quick-paced. The musical elements are also a commentary on different types of entertainment, but used for irony.
@@1001johny good point, it was certainly a tragedy. I felt that Phillips went overboard on the bleakness to make it engaging, but as you pointed out that was probably the point. Thanks again for the listen! - Alex
