I can definitely see how the musical aspect could explore the madness of the characters. I just hope it's not over done. But who knows! Maybe it'll be good!
It’s so funny watching people hate on musicals because those same people always eat their words once they see the movie. Musicals are GOOD. And without movie musicals, film wouldn’t exist as we know it today. It was the blueprint for cinema & the entire medium deserves respect!
True. Musicals are a staple in cinema. I don't think they work for everything though. I can see it working for this movie somewhat given the context, but maybe not the whole movie. I'm always open to be pleasantly surprised though.
@@dnjstake1728 It’s a big misconception that musicals have nonstop musical numbers. Almost every musical consists of speaking scenes and plot development in between the songs, which a lot of people don’t understand. So just because it’s a musical, doesn’t mean it’s constant singing & dancing! And this one will be more of a jukebox musical anyway, like footloose where they do numbers with songs that already exist and use it to showcase something that couldn’t be shown without the songs. The joker is a very musically driven and artistic villain to begin with… and especially with Gaga portraying Harley, I think it’s a brilliant idea. I just think people really need to put their distain for musicals aside because they always complain and then are shocked when it’s actually good. Like, musicals have always been good! There’s a reason it’s a billion dollar industry!! Movie musicals are literally the foundation of cinema and too many people forget that.
@@Justhppy2behere Unfortunately, as successful as they may be, musicals aren't for everyone. It's not really that it has nonstop musicals. It's that sometimes just one can be one too many for me. So just imagine what it's like with several in the movie. And depending on what kind of movie it is, a musical would likely take me out of the film. Footloose was meant to be a musical and we know that going in so its ok if people break out into singing every once in a while. If say, for example, any one of the Dark Knight movies had a moment or 2 where someone broke out into a full musical set, then it would break the immersion. And that's one of the worst things you want your audience to experience. Of all characters though, I do see it working for Joker and Harley like I said. And by Lady Gaga being in the film, it makes sense for them to make use of her musical talents. It all just depends on how it's done and how much of it is in the movie. Hopefully everyone gives it a fair shot, but I'll understand if people don't wanna see it.
The musical aspect is incredible to explore the madness of the characters, so, the music will be present only on their delirium.

I hope you guys check out the work of Joaquin's older brother, the late River Phoenix.

Joaquin Phoenix ❤❤❤
look up the meaning of Folie a Deux that will explain a lot to you.
Oh we did. It definitely fits the theme of the movie!😂
