Folie a Duex is a psychiatric condition where two individuals become psychotic around each other but if they are separate they actually improve mentally. Tells you a lot about the relationship dynamic in this film

All the people saying that this movie changes a lot from the comics, probably never saw the first one.

As a Color Grader, I can't help but admire how beautiful the color palettes are in this trailer

Whoever’s idea it was to do the lipstick scene needs a raise 🗣️🔥

They should've called this movie Joker 2: Ha Ha Land

When I saw Gaga cast as Harley, I thought to myself, "That is damn perfect casting." So much so that such a long time has passed now, that I have forgotten whether she was my dream castings even before that or not. Underrated actress. I think she is like a Scarjo type, but can go even darker and more insane in her performances. Can play the broken characters perfectly.

One thing I love about how Todd Phillips directed these movies is how each shot can be it's own screensaver. Cinematography is top notch.

That last shot where Arthur is smiling through Harley’s lipstick through the mirror at the end of the trailer is superb, I really hope this movie gets nominated for Best Cinematography

I hope the musical parts will be like Joker and Harleys own thing, like how these two freaking psychos experience love. While they burn the whole world down in utterly chaos. But from their point of view, they are just in love and have these nice moments.. setting shit on fire 🔥❤️😂

Lipstick scene is 🔥

I really wish they kept Harley being his psychiatrist rather than a fellow inmate. I feel like Harley's fall into madness, from a psychiatrist with a morbid fascination for her psychotic patient to a flat out psychopath in her own right, would have been so much more interesting in the context of this dark and brutal take on the villainous duo.

Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga, the duo I never knew I needed the most. They're going to give the best chemistry duo of the year! 🙌

“It’s totally its own original vision” It also looks a lot like New York, New York: a 1970s musical that blended the grit of then-contemporary New Hollywood with 1950s artifice… about a volatile relationship between Robert De Niro and Liza Minnelli… that was a Martin Scorsese movie… that was his follow-up to Taxi Driver. Movie looks pretty cool!

Given that folie a deux essentially means shared madness, it might not just be his delusion, but also hers too. Which, seems fitting, wouldn't you say?

The last shot on the glass with the lipstick smile is pure genius!

That last shot is my overall pick for artistic view for the next couple of years...

phoenix and mental illness are a match made in heaven

Bjork played a blind woman who kills a cop to save her son in Dancer in the Dark. It was a musical but it was mostly a movie with musical numbers. Anytime something hard was happening around her, she would retreat into her head and deal with her emotions with a musical number. One of her songs in that musical was nominated for an Oscar, which was when she wore the iconic swan dress that’s actually pretty cool but she was, of course, ridiculed for it back then.

The first Joker movie was one of the most unique movies I've seen in any comic book movie ever, I hope this sequel lives up to the hype. As a huge musical geek myself and a lover for many Broadway shows, I'm giving this sequel a chance. Didn't know a sequel was necessarily needed but after seeing this teaser, I'm so intrigued! You have my attention 🤗

Lipstick scene is very genius 🃏

Shelby Oaks????? Where is the update video

it looks incredible. So happy seeing gagas talent shineee!!!

It might just be another Masterpiece

These two could easily win best actor and actress with how talented they are.

More of these please!

Chris doing a reaction for a trailer is my new favorite thing.

Love this idea for a video. Excited to see more of these!!

Brendan Gleeson! Dfck?! Thank you, I did not even noticed him. 👀

The wedding clip we can see Gary as Arthur's best mate 👍🏻😄 it's cool that brought Gary back for a min or so. The teaser we saw first of Arthur in the rain, laughing/crying, I bet that's the ending. I bet he's crying/laughing because he's all alone again, because Harley dies and he's back at arkham. It's the first thing I said to me self. This trailer gave me the chills😅 I can't wait to see this. Another masterpiece right here 👍🏻

There is no art without inspiration. The first part is definitely inspired from older movies but it's unique in its own way.

Star Wars took the sci-fi/serial style of Flash Gordon and some inspiration from great directors like Kurosawa to create something audiences had not yet seen. Joker took the gritty, psycho-drama cynicism of 70s cinema and inspiration from Scorsese to create Joker. For Empire Strikes Back, something even more different had to be done, something darker with more at stake, and while there’s plenty of Harley Quinn/Joker material out there, here’s to hoping that Todd Phillips can make his Empire Strikes Back. This trailer certainly indicates just how different it may be, and I’m on board.

It's giving an escape from Arkham vibe. They'll have the escape juxtaposed with all the stuff happening in his/her mind, so that it'll be happening in both realms. Those will be the real world implications.

It will be in both Harley and Flecks mind. Folie a deux is a shared psychosis by definition.

The color palettes and everything just totally WOW I was really blown away from this truly But the lipstick scene , man bravo

Remember, GAGA’s character is the music therapist. Musical sequences will likely take place in HER mind.

I think Stuckmann pronounced the title correctly on the first try

*"The world is a stage, and all the men and women are players..."*

In the first film, we (the viewers) didn't notice Arthur's viewpoint much like his neighbor. This time around, Arthur will get into his imagination and will notice a visitor, Harley 💞

Harley Quinn " Let's put a smile on that face"

The trailer moved me. It enthralled me. It just did stuff no other trailer has ever done. I'm 100% sure this movie will be worthy of being watched on the big screen. God bless y'all

Lipstick glass scene was amazing

"Taxi Driver or King of Comedy". That was being said a lot about the film back then but no one was really mentioning the probable inspiration of Death Wish. The train scene has many similarities.

i never actually realized that whenever you see a screenshot of an upcoming movie over and over again in so many thumbnails, by the time you see it in the movie it has no impact on you.

love your trailer reviews!!

Please do more trailer reviews Mr.Stuckmann.

I was initially hesitant when I heard this was gonna be a musical, but the trailer gives off a really interesting vibe. If the musical parts are just in Arthur’s head that could be an interesting way to handle it in the movie. I’m guessing there will be a bunch of homages to sing in in the rain and old 1950’s broadway musicals

They grabbed me with the song. Hooked me with the vibes. And sold me with that smile. I’m buying a ticket.

Which "best scenes" in trailers that aren't in the final movie are you referring to? I'm curious!

It makes me wonder if Harley will be the one controlling Joker, like a flipped version of previous iterations

This looks like Chicago crossed with One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and I’m here for it.

I’m surprised we didn’t get a Watchmen sequel (outside of the show). But this did and I’m hyped.

When is the trailer dropping for your film? If i was an investor I’d be pretty annoyed that after 2 years not a single frame had been shown…

I absolutely loved the first one and this trailer looks great! The cinematography looks even better than the first one.

Love each other? Joker has never once given any f*cks about Harley.

Spoiler: That’s exactly what it is. The “musical sequences” are playing inside Arthurs mind. Then he snaps back to the present aka reality. Movie continues then again we go inside Arthurs mind for another “musical sequence”. It’s a back and forth thing all throughout the movie.

This Joker is not anything like the comics and is the character in name only. That being said these are some of the best comic book movies ever.

You say this one seems wholly original in comparison to the first, to me it feels like it just takes heavy inspiration from other films - first vibes I got was "Lovers on The Bridge" (Leos Carax) and "One From The Heart" (Coppola) ...

This movie is gonna be awesome. We get to see how crazy these two will be both physical and mentally and I can’t wait

To me, the only way a sequel could work to that of that first film is if it was completely different in scope and tone. A psychological musical? Yeah, that's it...this might be brilliant! Can't wait.

"A large portion may be in Arthur's mind"... Great, LOVED Beau is Afraid! 😎

This makes me want to go rewatch the first Joker. I have only seen it once in theaters & I think once on its home release.

One thing that I kind of wish they done was make an original song for the film from what I have heard from the choice of songs they’re using for the film. I mean, you got Lady Gaga as one of the main characters, so it really feels like they could have asked her to do one for the film.

I dont watch full movies constantly like that but I do watch scenes over and over again. I watched joker 3 times in theatre's and then another 6 times over the course of a few months. I love it that much and I still do after not watching it for a year

I watch a movie at the cinema and then I watch Chris's review. This is my routine. I like it.

Yes trailer reactions ❤

Todd Phillips you GENIUS !!!

I liked the first movie but I was in the minority of people who thought "it's good but not super great." I'll give it a chance. I love going to the theater but I'll be honest its not really looking amazing or anything.

I don't like musicals, but I don't mind movies having songs in them. Wonka (2023) is a great example of using music as a way to convey emotion and move the story forward. I hope Joker: Folie à Deux will do the same.

Chris grew up with Joker

Chris, I could watch you talk about anything you're passionate about. Don't worry, I will always be here to watch.

I imagine, this movie will end up being a therapy session where Harley is talking to arthur, BUT Arthur took harley on a trip using his words and stories, that's where all the musical scene comes from, then at the end of the movie, we revert back to the doctor patient scene, arthur say something like, "Do you understand me now?", Harley smiles, movie end

Chris, where is Shelby Oaks?

It’s been unfortunately a while since I’ve visited your channel Chris but I’m very curious what happened with your movie and where I can view it

That shirt is awesome man

thanks for the video

I'm going to theorize that she is NOT crazy... And that this is all an experimental treatment that Arthur does NOT know about.

Another gorgeous film and looks to be every bit as good as the first. This, along with Gladiator 2, are my most anticipated movies of 2024 with both first entries being on my favorite of all time list.

Liking your movie trailer reviews, Chris. I really enjoyed the first Joker movie. Not big on musicals but I’ll make an exception for the sequel. The cinematography does look amazing. Hoping this movie is just as menacing as the first.

If the first was inspired by Taxi Driver and the King Of Comedy, this sequel could be inspired by The Singing Detective. A story of a man trapped by illness in a hospital bed imagining he is part of a musical as a means of escape from his predicament....

the singing and dancing will 100% be all in their minds, brace yourselves for that!!!

Damn. I am getting goosebumps just watching the trailer.

Holy Musical Batman! I think they might pull it off.

Is it a full musical? Or some kind of hybrid, I loved the first movie but if it is a musical that's a pass for me.

I am a huge comic book fan and loved everything about this trailer.

I’m ready to get back to the theater!!!!

I've seen it speculated that the musical numbers will be used in the manner of "Moulin Rouge". I'm getting some serious "Pennies From Heaven" (Steve Martin) vibes myself.

@chrisstuckmann ive been following you channel since past year, I love your takes on films and your personality but I notice you mostly review popular and generally films which get wide release, I know you love the theatre experience, but id love to see you review more riskier under the radar indie or experimental films! : )

super curious for this one

trailer looks like a piece of art.

Where do you get your T shirts from Chris?

Thanks for the video,. ....!!!

After watching this and Jeremy Jahns’ video, I’m very much looking forward to all the different attempts to pronounce the title of this movie!

I hope the film will be good. If not, well I still appreciate the risk they took to create something different with these known characters and story.

@ChrisStuckmann I rarely comment but I want to know how to buy the shirt you're wearing in the video!

Very excited for this movie and its musical elements !! Chris I’m sure you get asked a thousand times but how the hell do we see your first film you directed ?!!!

I don't think there was a need for a sequel. The 1st one was so well done and what I took away after reading all the reviews from the 1st one, is that Phoenix Joker is the person who inspired the actual Joker. Especially because Batman is still only a kid. Hence why I don't think there was a need for a sequel..... But anyway I'll still watch it

Brendan Gleeson though! F**king yes!

I would honestly love to see a musical but in a more comic book setting. Like fully accurate characters and just wacky situations and cool actions scenes

Let’s not forget that Joker won an additional Oscar for its score and Hildur is coming back for this. I can’t wait to hear her music with Lady Gaga singing it. You know there’s gonna be some epic cello music to go with her voice. Perhaps an Oscar for Song is on the horizon

As someone who's never seen taxi driver or the other movie that the first Joker was referencing, and as someone who generally likes comic book movies but doesn't have a super long history with them, I loved the first Joker movie. It broke my heart and I thought it had a lot of really important things to say. I know people get upset because in the comics he's supposed to be evil and chaotic for no reason, with no tragedy about him, but this was a much more interesting character to me and much more engaging story - I don't think you can tell much of a story from that comic book Joker's perspective, because that character never changes or grows. There's no arc there. It'd be just watching a very evil guy do insane evil things for two hours - and that's not really a story, thats the set up for a gore fest horror movie. Whatever the criticism levelled at it, i thought the first movie was an excellent tragedy. The outcome is inevitable from the start, but you're still hoping something will change. I cared about Arthur and that made it so much more awful when he still becomes someone who can only be called a villain. I loved that, even though it was emotionally devastating lol. I feel sure this second one will do likewise, so I'm very on board!
