The second part with a changed form and genre - Was "Joker 2" rated R?

"Joker: Folie à deux" once again, like the previous part, received an R rating. This means that the content is intended for adults, and people under 17 will not be able to go to the film. It will only be possible for them with an adult guardian. The film will partially change its form and will be not only a drama, but also a musical, which was met with different opinions and became the subject of many discussions on the web.

Cast of "Joker 2"

The legendary actor Joaquin Phoenix ("Joker", "The Master", "Gladiator", "Walk the Line", "Her") will once again play the Joker, but this time he will also be joined by the acclaimed Lady Gaga ("A Star Is Born", "House of Gucci"), who will play the role of Harley Quinn.

The cast also includes stars Brendan Gleeson, Zazie Beetz, Jacob Lofland and Catherine Keener.

What will the film be about?

The film will be set primarily in Arkham Asylum, where Arthur Fleck (Joker) will await trial for his crimes. The plot will focus on the Joker's turbulent and mad romance with his psychiatrist Harleen Quinzel, aka Harley Quinn.

What does "Folie à deux" mean?

The phrase "Folie à deux" from the title of the second part of "Joker" means madness for two, i.e. induced paranoia. This initially led to speculation about Harley Quinn's appearance in the film, which was later confirmed.

An example of induced psychosis is a situation in which a spouse "shares" paranoia with a loved one. One of these people has symptoms of a delusional disorder, while the other has symptoms of paranoia induced by the partner's illness. People suffering from the same delusion often remain in a close relationship for a long time and struggle with a distorted image of reality. The patient has a hostile attitude to the world around them, reacts emotionally, aggressively, does not accept the opinions of others and may not be aware of the illness. Most often, the symptoms of induced insanity (Folie à deux) disappear when the person is separated from the sick partner.

What made the first "Joker" so popular?

The production gained huge popularity because fans love the iconic character of Joker, and the film itself is part of the superhero DC universe. Additional attention was drawn by the excellent performance of Joaquin Phoenix, who, according to many viewers, played his role perfectly and won a well-deserved Oscar for Best Leading Actor. The actor lost almost 25 kilograms for the role. People were fascinated by the title character and his transformation, which forced them to think deeply.

The immense popularity of Joker made it the first R-rated film to cross the billion-dollar mark at the global box office. It was also the first superhero film to win the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. There is no doubt that for audiences, Joker has become a classic and one of the favorite films of the last decade.
