Joker movie- the embodiment of pure anarchy is back with its second installment, Joker: Folie A Deux.

 

The first movie focuses on Arthur Fleck, a guy with lofty aspirations who wants to make you laugh, even though he's not that funny.

But he has a lot of laughing fits, and aspires to get some television glitz, and more in life.

It reflects on how society underappreciates unrecognised or bullied people, ultimately proving that they can do something too.

The way it shows the difference of strata in society, corruption, and how the rich and talented rule others, is exemplary.

Joker is a tale of how society can be responsible for pushing people who are suffering to their limits, driving them to the point where the line between sanity and insanity is just a question of Why not?

The movie ends with scenes of panic throughout the city of Gotham as anarchy descends on the streets, the criminals take over, and Arthur relishes in what he has become for the wretched society. A figure, a myth, or just another man in a mask.

The trailer for the second part of the Joker movie starts with showing Arthur embodied by the legendary Joaquin Phoenix being in a penitentiary cooped in with other maniacs gasping for a chance at him.

The first glimpse of the movie shows exceptional cinematography with a contrast between the monotone and the varied colours.

The trailer also shows Arthur finally stumbling upon his better half, someone he can call his partner-in-crime, Harley Quinn, played by Lady Gaga, which comes as an exciting surprise.

The scenes show the duo battling it out against society along with duets of musical performances, also unleashing a chaotic but fiery romance at its best.

The chaos continues to deepen as the plot thickens and Arthur finally accepts himself for who he is.

The scenes are full of great acting, cinematography, and devastating moments of violence.

The trailer caps off with a moment that enthusiasts would call a cinematic marvel, something to be witnessed personally.

Directed by Todd Phillips and co-written with Scott Silver, the second part of this cinematic and acting masterpiece will be released on October 10, 2024.

Only time will tell if this will be a treat for the senses or just something that will remain in the movie-making backbenches.
