look, i don't mind it being different but it being different doesn't mean that its automatically good.
joker 2 is an example of when a director doesn't want to make the film.
mr.phillips doesn't want to make a different film that can still be believed to be in the same universe, no he wants to make a film that hates itself, it hates being a "hollywood" film.
it stands against the norm but when does being different become to much?
joker 2 is your answer.
its not awful but also not good.
it tries to much to get the fans of the first film to not watch it.
intentionall or not.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A haunting descent into madness intertwined with moments of desperate tenderness, as two fractured souls find connection through music and shared delusion. A film that lingers uncomfortably between tragedy and romance, daring audiences to watch without looking away.
