Let’s get into the whole picture.
Joker: Folie à Deux
Plot details remain under wraps, though one or two reviewers are whispering that perhaps the sequel is in for a twist. So far, the early impressions of the film have run that it may be a “dark musical love story”-a fair enough contrast to the gritty realism of the first film. Unsaid, yet heard by all, critics unite in their adoration for Joaquin Phoenix who gets to reprise the Oscar-winning role of Arthur Fleck/Joker. The reviews say this new interpretation brings depth to the already disturbed character.
Early reactions have Newcomer Lady Gaga entering the DC Comics universe as if stealing the thunder entirely. The reviews have described the performance as “phenomenal” and “Oscar-worthy,” indicating an electrifying scene with Phoenix. One of the great attractions of the early reviews is that the film may be “divisive.” While some reviewers laud the boldness of the film, others may find a “musical Joker” jarring, given its discomfiting difference from the intense darkness of the original movie.
With little information and mixed initial impressions, it is up to viewers to wait until the film’s release to decide what this is truly about in “Joker: Folie à Deux.” One thing seems sure enough: the combination of Oscar-winning acumen by Phoenix with the long-anticipated appearance of Lady Gaga brings intense excitement and hype over the film.

The sequel to “Joker,” dubbed “Folie à Deux,” promises to go further than its predecessor in bringing grittiness and realism to the themes it portrays. Here’s everything that we know about so far. Identity would be an exploration for the film. Although much is not known about the film yet, some reviews stated that it was about the life of Arthur Fleck (Joaquin Phoenix), as the Joker, of how he keeps his broken self. This might include his dark formation and his perception about himself.
The movie will apparently be showing how media presentation shapes one’s perception of it. That theme resonates with me about the advent of social media and all that information received. Can the film talk about how media attention magnifies and warps the Joker’s actions? What is most interesting about the movie “Joker: Folie à Deux” is that all the buzz surrounding the actual addition of musical elements. The first film relied heavily on the stark and realistic portrayal of Gotham City; the sequel may happen in a more artistic way.
Details remain unclear, but adding music gives a sense of mystery and upsets the prospective understanding of the tone and coherence of the story. Early reports suggest that Joaquin Phoenix has reprised the role for which he went on to win an Oscar-Joker. His performance is simply phenomenal. The highly intense portrayal of the character and the overall range of volatility he brings is just perfect. Joining him is the talented Lady Gaga, making her debut within the DC universe. Her performance is generating buzz, as some very early reviews hint at an “Oscar-worthy” role.

One thing for sure is that “Joker: Folie à Deux” is going to be a film like no other.
