With 'Folie A Deux' releasing this coming week, here's a revisit of my initial post about 2019's 'Joker' - which was as much a review of the film as it was a reflection of a crazy time.
These cinema expose focused on the Joker (whom I know very little about) brings in a lot more than meets the eye. It's like the focal point of a scene but around it you have incorporated references to mythology, tragedy, literature and other points of culture that the Joker seems to represent a lot more than just a movie character. I watched Joaquin Phoenix' interview again as I don't remember much of it. A well played role by him, but Letterman is in his true usual character. He can really get on the wrong side of people. Used to love watching his show but the more time goes his character didn't age that well neither did his jokes. I am not sure what he's playing at, but that whole interview was like a set up right to get a message across. Either way, I think you piece is titled very appropriately and I wonder if it should not be longer... Seriously!
