Arthur Fleck is institutionalized at Arkham, awaiting trial for his crimes as Joker. While struggling with his dual identity, Arthur not only stumbles upon true love, but also finds the music that's always been inside him.
Saw it on the premiere. Liked the first one and I'm really not a fan of Marvel superhero crap. The more I think about it the more I like it.
Spoiler
It's more a psychological exploration of Joker and the guy behind the Joker, rather than a story driven piece. Joaquin Phoenix performance was incredible and even though Gaga was okay she couldn't keep up with Joaquin, none could. Went in blind and have heard critics hate it but they're morons in that case. Big thumbs up.
I thought he was slitting his throat not cutting his mouth that is a really good detail. Makes sense in that universe where there are no super and larger than life hero's. Though I kind of wish instead they ended this movie with the explosion and could have a third with more Harley/Lady Gaga than what they gave her to work with in this film
