Why the score keeps dropping on RT if its not that bad? I dont get it.

She keeps saying she'll be there on all the places those interviewers ask her, sounds too good to be true. It's giving Rihanna "Monaco, that's where I remember you from"

I mean… Gaga is obviously saying yes to all these interviewers who are asking her about coming back to their countries for her next tour. It'll be awkward if she said no.

she saw the Harlequin album sales and cancelled the tour immediately. If you're not buying HQ, you're not getting a tour.

People keep misreading FAD, both critics and audiences, I'll thread it in a month or two once spoilers are less of a big deal

 

Spoiler

The musical sequences are there because a: Arthur can't express himself well and that was consistent from the opening of the 2019 film b: Lee was a psych major who became obsessed with him after a tv movie and specifically preyed on him using his connection to music which was one of the defining characteristics of Joker at his only public appearance in the first film.

 

The music comes out of him when he's struggling to cope with reality or express himself, he literally dances and sings after killing people. Lee used this link as an attack vector to push him towards insanity. I don't know how much more clear the film could have made this between the close to you scene and the last scene with Lee on the stairs. She's manipulating him, he knows it too which is what prompts the complete deconstruction of the Joker persona. The song choice of gonna build a mountain was so important because its a nice sentiment but she was promising him NOTHING, which was her entire role in the film. She was encouraging his delusions and weaponizing his loneliness. He even knew this on some level which was the point of the Joker & Lee show sequences.

 

People keep asking for less musical sequences and more romance but that's the entire damn point. We don't see more of Lee because there wasn't much to see, they weren't really in love. Even the s*x scene was stiff and emotionless and grey. I don't know how much more they could have done to draw this line(and parallel to his mother in the first film) than to show her as a crazy fan trying to become the mother of a powerful man's child.

 

The folie a deux in question in the title is arthur and his shadow, that was the entire point of the opening cartoon. The circumstances that shaped him into a murderer evaporated the second he became a symbol for resistance against the elites, leaving him the same sad and mentally ill person being systematically abused, just with some clown makeup on. It can be argued that this makes the 2nd film a retread but the fact that this time he ends up taking responsibility for his crimes and then literally getting what he deserves is infinitely more satisfying than the ending of the first film.

 

A lot of this dissonance be attributed to it being marketed as a different kind of story, but the first film was marketed as an origin story for the criminal mastermind Joker, who was made abundantly clear not to have ever existed in either films.

 

It sucks that that's entertainment was cut but assuming it was going to replace her betrayal of him, it would have been backwards after Arthur comes back down to reality to have a giant mega musical sequence. It makes more sense for him to be begging for the music to stop.

 

 

The whole plot hinges on the two biggest criticisms with the music being present and the romance being flimsy. It's one thing to not like the general direction of a sequel, but they masterfully executed an interesting and creative follow up to Joker. I can see how people who wanted Joker to be a sympathetic incel icon are disappointed, but those people really saw Arthur murder 3 people for NO reason and thought of him as an antihero and are as such insane.
