Gaga also discusses how she got into and stayed in her dark persona
Story
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 share what scared them the most about tackling the musical sequel. The subtitle of the film “Folie a Deux” means "The Madness of Two" in French. This initially led to speculation about Harley Quinn appearing in the film, which was confirmed soon after.
It is also known as Lasègue-Falret syndrome
The name Folie a Deux comes from the 19th century French psychiatrists Charles Lassegue and Jules Falret. The term was coined to refer to two or more people who share the same insanity or delusion. The jury representative mistakenly referred to the "People of New York" instead of Gotham City.. Arthur Fleck: [Written as a mean autograph with a sad smiley face] I HOPE YOU GET CANCER.

The film opens with a Looney Tunes title sequence featuring the Warner Bros logo surrounded by rings and the Joker’s face. Merrily We Roll Along Written by Eddie Cantor, Murray Mencher and Charles Tobias. If Joker 2 aimed to expand on Arthur Fleck’s tortured psyche, it only succeeded in expanding my boredom. What made the first film so intriguing – the slow descent into madness – has been replaced by a frantic, disjointed attempt to outdo its predecessor without any real sense of direction.
Fleck’s evolution (or lack thereof) feels more like a series of chaotic, isolated scenes than a cohesive narrative
The film struggles to find its tone, vacillating between forceful social commentary and carnival of the absurd, neither of which are thought provoking or funny to stick with. It’s as if the filmmakers believed that more chaos automatically equates to more depth, but instead it feels like an empty spectacle without a single grain of philosophical grit that made the original resonate. Character development was perfunctory, almost as if they hoped we wouldn’t notice the lack of story beneath the avalanche of neon-lit mayhem and creepy laughs. Joaquin Phoenix, the ever-committed actor, gave it his all, but even his performance couldn’t sustain a script that feels more like a list of provocations than a real journey.
Skip that key line
Joker 2 is a poor imitation of its own predecessor, like trying to laugh at the same joke twice – only this time it fails and you’re left wondering why you find it funny in the first place. Verdict?
