An unpredictable sequel that will annoy many fans of the first.
Despite its massive success and awards season success, the first Joker wasn’t well received. I saw it as a clumsy, confusing rip-off of two Scorsese films it was incomparable to and a murky, ambiguous, and tepid message about incel masculinity and mental illness. We were shocked when the sequel was announced as a musical. We displayed the white flag. At least it intrigued us.
The fact that Todd Phillips and Lady Gaga avoided calling it a “musical” (“It’s not a typical musical, it’s different”) was a bad sign. A traditional musical lets the characters say what they can’t say with dialogue. The only explanation for so many warm-water comments is that they’re afraid fans of the first installment’s crude violence will be prejudiced against the genre. Whether we like it or not, this is a musical.
But why? Why this decision that seems to distance itself from ‘Joker’s cruder texture? Lady Gaga’s definition is correct (although she is describing a musical): the characters use the songs to enter a dreamlike state where they can express themselves freely and express feelings that are forbidden in real life. The musical numbers are sometimes metaphors for Joker and Harley’s reconciliation, and sometimes they’re absolute escapes from reality in one of their heads.
The obvious question is whether the invention works. Unfortunately, not well: the songs add little to a plot that could have been told without them (which are all terrible versions of the originals). Yes, it adds sequences that wouldn’t work in a realistic staging, but that’s just an extra.
Joker night!
In contrast to a remake of ‘Moulin Rouge’, which Joker 2 initially seemed to aim for, the film’s music is not complacent or uses familiar themes. Jacques Brel’s ‘Ne Me Quitte pas’, Stevie Wonder’s ‘For Once in My Life’, and the Bee Gees’ ‘Close to You’ are among the songs, but most are from musicals or standards from the first half of the 20th century. The tracklist makes Phoenix and Phillips’ film seem like a troll to their fans.
Yes, we’re dealing with a musical, with songs that work like those of a musical, but except for the fact that we’re experiencing a timid rebirth of films of this type, with productions like ‘Wicked’ or the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ retains many of the original film’s problems: a questionable message about mental illness and performances that go beyond being annoying. The final third has incomprehensible script choices.
Does this sequel have anything good? The songs’ semi-fantastic spaces bring the Joker closer to the comics, avoiding the disastrous idea of giving realism and drama to unreal caricatures. Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga are not like the Joker and Harley Quinn from ‘Batman: The Animated Series’.
The best way to view ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’ is as a Joker-esque performance. Many fervent defences, disappointed fans, and unpredictable box office results are expected in the coming weeks. Not even the Joker could have planned such chaos.
