The last part, ‘ shared by two’ explains the kinsmen fever such that exists between these two.
Cast:
Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck/Joker Lady Gaga as Dr. Harleen Quinzel/ Harley Quinn Zazie Beetz as Sophie Dumond
Positive Aspects:
Stellar Performances: A striking performance comes from Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga against the sadistic relationship of Joker and Harley Quinn because they treat the role with emotions.
Bold Direction: The mixture of the musical aspect and the psychological themes in the movie takes it far from other comic films.
Negative Aspects:
Polarizing Style: This is particularly affected by the musical incorporation of the film, which might seem quite weird to the filmgoers, who come only to watch the traditional narrative of Joker.
Dark Themes: The saddening and distressing parts may not go down well with some audiences and more so depicts mental sickness.
