Yeah, they projected the beats in the old songs included in it, quite a bit, and even said three times that 'it should blow up' and then something like that happens. Yep, all in Arthur's head possibly after being beaten senseless near the end of the trial when he gives up. As a psycho analysis of the dumpster fire of a story, it's a fascinating wreck. It did not disappoint in that way.
What's messed up is that some critics who didn't actually pay attention confused the solitary scene for the deliverance scene. They're completely different scenes!
Oh, Harley can't be imagined, she starts the fire, or maybe he did, the Lawyer talked to her, and then she later breaks the glass and steals the TV, but both of those are from Arthur's perspective, and he fires the lawyer, from his perspective, so he imagined those.
Those that might say, but the neighbor is a witness and they thought she was imagined, to which I say, suppose she is imagined again on the witness stand!
Phoenix has spinal issues and his back and neck just look like that, but he lost crazy weight for that part, and it can't be healthy doing that kind of method acting.
No way would the prison guards have let Harley 'Lee' into solitary to make out with Arthur. That's in his mind. She is therefore not pregnant. She might be there but she's not in a love relationship with him. He's imagining her with him, and when in the end she breaks it off, girl was not that into him as he thought.
Many hypothesized that Harley in this is really a figment of Arthur's imagination. Further a point of it, the whole thing might be a 'bad joke' writ real. If that's the point of the movie, it nailed it.
Like to think he's imagining being the new lawyer as that makes sense! So really they could have ended this at the 90 minute mark and that would have been perfect. Yeah, cut out all the musical numbers and the explosion and just end it where it ends. Better movie. About 90 minutes long.

Phillips was apparently given carte blanche to do what he liked and was not reigned in.

Madness for Two, or Folie a Deux is the idea that two crazy people might experience the same psychotic idea.
Yes, my Joker imitation sounds more like Starscream than the 90s Joker.

Everyone in the story is the villain and they are all using this madman Arthur to their own ends.
