Hey there! It’s quite a surprise to see some top filmmakers rallying around Todd Phillips’ ‘Joker’ movie -‘Folie à Deux.’ This film received a mixed bag of reviews when it first came out. Many people had high expectations for another ‘Joker’ movie, but ‘Folie à Deux’ was not just another typical villain movie. This film was a daring attempt to blow up and deconstruct the mythology of the famous character we know as the Joker.
Interestingly, some very famous names in the movie world seem to disagree with the naysayers. Quentin Tarantino, the guy behind classics like ‘Pulp Fiction’ and ‘Kill Bill,’ is a known admirer of the film. In addition, Mark Romanek and Jason Blum, also big names in filmmaking, recently joined in praising ‘Folie à Deux.’ Romanek even mentioned that he knows many industry folks who are actually huge fans of this controversial film.
But wait, there’s more! Hideo Kojima, the creator of the game ‘Death Stranding,’ has also joined the ‘Folie à Deux’ fan club. Much like Tarantino, Romanek, and Blum, Kojima really enjoyed the film.
Talking about villains and superheroes, Kojima had something fascinating to say. He asked, “Can villains be superheroes too?” He thinks that the Joker and Arthur (Joker’s alter ego) raised this question in a bold, avant-garde way that split the movie reviews. But he believes that the perception of ‘Folie à Deux’ will likely shift over the next few decades with the evolution of superhero movies. He hinted that it might take some time for it to become, in his words, a true “folie à deux.”
As more and more industry creatives come forward in support of ‘Folie à Deux,’ we might just see a turnaround in the film’s reputation. Is it possible for a film to rise from the ashes of mixed reviews and carve out its space in film history? Only time will tell. But, for now, it’s certainly got some powerful voices in its corner.
To cap it all, ‘Folie à Deux’ isn’t your average ‘Joker’ movie. It tries to challenge, deconstruct, even explode what we think we know about this character. It did not meet everyone’s expectations, and that’s okay. The beauty of art, after all, lies in the eyes of the beholder. What ‘Folie à Deux’ has achieved is getting us talking, questioning, and possibly reevaluating our own perceptions of villains and heroes.
And remember, just because you didn’t hear a tree fall in the forest, doesn’t mean it didn’t make a resounding thud. ‘Folie à Deux’ may just be that fallen tree. Despite the initial mixed reactions, the echoes of its impact are being felt strongly by some true titans of the film industry. And who knows? With their combined support, this film could eventually become a classic in its own right.
Let’s just wait and watch… or better yet, rewatch ‘Folie à Deux.’
