The subtitle of the film "Folie a Deux" means “Madness of two”; in French
Synopsis
Struggling with his dual identity, failed comedian Arthur Fleck meets the love of his life, Harley Quinn, in prison at Arkham State Hospital. . In addition, Gaga talks about how she got into her dark character and how she stayed in it. This initially led to speculation that Harley Quinn would appear in the film, which was confirmed shortly after.
It is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome
The name Folie a Deux comes from the 19th century French psychiatrists Charles Lasègue and Jules Falret. The term was coined to refer to two or more people who share the same madness or delusion. Jury president talks about “People of New York”; instead of Gotham City. This is because the State of New York is the plaintiff in the criminal trial, and this version of Gotham City is evidently located in New York State (most versions place Gotham in New Jersey).
He stars in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon Cast: The Wicked Discovery of a Lifetime (2022)
Arthur Fleck: [Written as a malicious autograph with a sad smiley face] I HOPE you get cancer. The film opens with the Looney Tunes title sequence, with the Warner Bros logo surrounded by rings and the Joker’s face. Merry We Roll Along Written by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher and Charles Tobias. Continuation of "Joker" it promised a lot but the end result fell short of expectations, also a bad movie.
The story doesn’t do anything really new or original
The ambitious choice to turn the film into a musical, although brave, was not interesting. The relationship between the Joker and Harley Quinn, while central to the plot, fails to convince, lacking the emotional depth that could make it memorable. Joaquin Phoenix confirms his talent, but his interpretation is also a bit repetitive compared to the first film. Lady Gaga gives a solid performance as Harley Quinn, but the character seems overwhelmed by the Joker’s dominant character.
Overall bad movie
Ultimately, "Joker: Folie à Deux" is a film that leaves a feeling of incompleteness, I didn’t like it. Check out our list of exciting new movies from this year’s film festivals including Venice, TIFF, New York Film Festival and more.
