Mad Couple opens with a scene of Arkham Asylum, which is also the prison that holds Arthur Fleck. In the dark, cold, and gray space, the harsh prison guards are ready to punch and kick the prisoners at any time. The main character that the audience is waiting for appears with a skinny appearance. Once in the “mild illness” area, Arthur’s eyes meet the eyes of Lee Quinzel – a wild girl with a soulful voice. The two quickly fall into a crazy love affair. At the same time, the trial for the murder of 5 people is approaching. Lawyer Maryanne Stewart tries to prove Arthur’s innocence, all the bloodthirsty acts are caused by the Joker personality… Compared to the good movie Joker (2019) which cost $50 million, the new movie Joker: Folie à Deux cost 4 times more – $200 million. The visual part is invested in worthily, bringing a series of beautiful frames. Cinematographer Lawrence Sher created such a wonderful work that many scenes of Joker: Folie à Deux are as beautiful as paintings. That is the way the camera slowly rotates on the back of Arthur Fleck, skinny and bony in the cold hallway, the scene where the prison guards open their umbrellas to let the poor prisoner be drenched in the rain, but when Arthur raises his head, the gray umbrellas are brightly colored… That is the way Lee uses lipstick to draw a smile on the clown in the isolated cell… That is the way the cigarette lights up Joker’s face in the dark space. Classic images from part 1 such as the scene of jumping on the stairs, Arthur practicing laughing, drawing a clown face… are also recreated in part 2, making viewers feel both strange and familiar. The music has never been a concern for the audience, because Joker: Folie à Deux has one of the most famous stars in music today – Lady Gaga . Each song is well-integrated, perfectly expressing the extremely complex mood of the character, reducing some of the confusion that the multi-layered psychological film brings. In Joker (2019), Joaquin Phoenix excellently portrayed the clown Arthur Fleck at the bottom of Gotham society, trampled to the point of distortion, becoming the cruel Joker who is not afraid of anything. In Joker: Folie à Deux , Joaquin Phoenix further proved his acting talent when transforming into both Arthur Fleck and Joker. Which is Arthur? Which is Joker? Which is Arthur playing Joker? Which is Joker playing Arthur? The audience goes from question to question? Everyone will have an answer, but the answers are unlikely to be exactly the same. Because this is the goal of the film crew. However, surely, the public agrees that Joaquin Phoenix is ​​excellent. With his method acting, he is perfect for both Arthur Fleck and Joker. Even if another famous star plays Joker later, Joaquin Phoenix ‘s image still has its own unique vitality. An impressive role of the owner of the Best Actor Oscar 2020. Method acting is still a controversial style. However, it is undeniable that a series of stars have successfully applied this method to create great images on screen. This time, not only “Joker” Joaquin Phoenix , Joker: Folie à Deux also has Lady Gaga thoroughly applying this transformation style. Lee Quinzel is both innocent and cunning, both crazy in love and scary sober, giving an extremely complex character to the star who is originally a singer is a bold decision of director Todd Phillips and the film crew. However, with a series of awards and nominations from A Star Is Born and House Of Gucci , Lady Gaga did not disappoint the public. Like Joaquin Phoenix , Lady Gaga portrays Lee Quinzel/Harley Quinn differently. She doesn’t have much screen time but makes the most of every scene, leaving a deep impression on Arthur Fleck and the audience. Even though Margot Robbie is Harley Quinn tearing through the comics, Lady Gaga’s “Harley Quinn” is not confused with anyone, a Harley Quinn with a long life. Compared to Robert De Niro in Joker (2019), who represents the mockery of Arthur Fleck, Brendan Gleeson’s warden Jackie Sullivan is much more cruel and cold-blooded. With disdainful eyes and a voice full of contempt, Jackie Sullivan is as dark and cold as Arkham asylum, tormenting prisoners and patients to the end. The character has little screen time but still leaves a deep impression. In addition, the film crew also paid tribute to DC Comics fans and Christopher Nolan’s Batman series with a series of extremely interesting Easter eggs. Announcing that there will be no third installment, Joker: Folie à Deux has a shocking and brutal ending. Arthur Fleck is not the clown prince of crime, but the Joker. Surely, many viewers will be shocked by the ending. Surely, the controversial ending of Arthur Fleck’s life story will continue to be discussed by the public for many years to come, even when new Jokers appear.
