I loved each movie. They were so interesting. There are moments when Joaquin just gives a look that chilled me to my bone. A subtle, I can’t even describe what he did with his face kind of look but it spoke volumes.
It reminded me of a song from Sunset Boulevard. That is a musical about a silent film star. The song is called With One Look and she sings about she didn’t need words in the silent films. One of the lines is “When I look your way
You'll hear what I say”
Joaquin has that talent. Don’t get me wrong. This isn’t the over acted mugging for the camera type looks from the silent films. This is a modern day close up and you can see every flicker of his face in a forty foot ultra hd kind of look.
Granted, I love musicals so I am not the type to object any time someone breaks into song, but I thought Joker 2 was so well done.
If you’re curious about the rest of the lyrics from that song, here it is.
I've not seen either movie, but I really enjoy this article. As a pro-wrestling fan, analyst and participant, this two-movie arc seems like a well-done swerve. Not a swerve for the sake of a swerve, but a set up and a payoff that makes even more sense than the easier story arc would've provided.
I'm not sure I should recommend the movies to you. You are such a positive person, I don't know if you'd enjoy movies that focus their attention so attentively on negative emotion. But I definitely think the films are excellent, especially if you are attracted to archetypical narratives. I think myths and superhero stories are very similar.
And I think you specifically would benefit from having read my little article first.

Totally agree. His acting was off-the-charts good.

Thank you!

Makes me wonder how far society has fallen when I'm considered "such a positive person" 🤣
I'm a simple philosopher and pro wrestling commentator; I call the action as I see it.
(I do appreciate the compliment)
