I've tried explaining that to my CBM-hating but Godfather-loving co-workers, but they still won't give it a shot. Sharing its continuity with (the equally grounded) TB is a dealbreaker.
I initially dismissed this as a cynical Zemeckis/Hanks/Wright vehicle (which may still be true), but after discovering it was based on a graphic novel I've taken a second look.
You've heard of single-take movies, this is a single-camera-angle movie. The ageing and de-ageing looks pretty schmick.
Is it really a F U to the audience, or just a continuation of the delusion theme? Maybe Phillips thought we didn't get the message the first time.
As usual I liked it more than most, but felt Harley could have fought harder when Arthur disowned the persona. After building her life around him...
Yes. Granted I've only seen up to ep 4, but the violence against women is mainly historical or happening off-screen, and Sofia is giving the victims a voice.
A fellow Bat-freak even went so far as to say Joker shouldn't have been set in the Bat-verse. I understood his point, but then it probably wouldn't have been made.
I lurve tasteful cameos!
Is this the first time they've both been in the public consciousness since '66?
So did I, but then my taste is well documented. :sneaky: It was bleak AF, but then I love Blade Runner and The Crow.
Deconstruction is definitely the word. Reminded me of Broadchurch S2 and the Better Call Saul finale.
I even thought the music was judicious and organic for the most part...
