In all cinematic history, very few characters had a devastating yet profound impact on an audience. In Phoenix\u2019s Joker<\/em>, we witnessed more than just a comic book character, but a man most of us could relate to. A man battered by his circumstances and the world around him, realizing his potential for chaos, ultimately becoming the nightmare everyone wants to avoid.<\/p>\n Only a few people can elevate cinema with a weak script and no plot on the sheer brilliance of their acting skills. Joaquin Phoenix made the role his own by taking Joker\u2019s madness far above many of his predecessors.<\/p>\n We have witnessed the character\u2019s namesake\u2019s brilliance with Heath Ledger\u2019s performance in The Dark Knight<\/em>. We have felt the immobilizing emotions of Christy Brown in Jim Sheridan\u2019s My Left Foot<\/em>. Lastly, we all have witnessed the degradation of the human mind verging on catastrophe in Taxi Driver<\/em>, The Silence of the Lambs<\/em>, The Shinning<\/em>, and A Clockwork Orange<\/em>.<\/p>\n In our analysis, Joaquin Phoenix is an amalgamation of the best these characters had to offer, both psychologically and emotionally. These characters offered the building blocks for his caricature of Arthur Fleck, making him a standout symbol of rebellion, madness, and anarchy.<\/p>\n With the newest look of Lady Gaga, as the infamous Harley Quinn, there is no other cast member that we can get more excited about. All the pictures that we have seen so far tell us that Gaga is simply reinventing the character of Harley Quinn and that too on a serious note.<\/p>\n Moreover, the latest picture shows Gaga in Arkham Asylum, leading to the question of whether will we be feasting on yet another backstory. Well, from the looks of it in the latest installment, Todd Philips has many love stories and heartbreaks in the mix.<\/p>\n The previous film’s ending potentially set up an engrossing plot for the upcoming thriller. Most of it is expected to be staged at the iconic Arkham Asylum of DC Comics, which will further dive into the psychological manifestations of the character to understand the chaos within him.<\/p>\n Moreover, he is expected to escape Arkham with Harley Quinn while setting the whole place on fire. However, what is to be seen is how this character matures and potentially reaches the devastating prowess we have seen over the years across multiple mediums.<\/p>\n Source: Todd Phillips (Instagram)<\/strong><\/p>\n The latest tease by the director makes things all the more clear that Joker will purposely escape Arkham Asylum, but at what cost and to what nemesis is something yet to be discovered.<\/p>\n However, many mysteries can still be unearthed, so we would suggest watching the epic thriller one more time. However, this time, wear a psychoanalytic hat to unravel the character before the Arkham psychiatrists completely demystify him in the next installment.<\/p>\n So, go over Amazon Prime Video to relive it in 4K Ultra HD. If your provider doesn\u2019t support 4K speeds, then it would be a good time to switch to Xfinity internet, which not only provides the best speeds but, with its dedicated TV platform, you can enjoy all your favorite OTT platforms in one place.<\/p>\nJoker: Folie \u00c0 Deux<\/h2>\n
