Comment on Why No One Will Get Fired Over ‘Joker: Folie à Deux’

I was interested when I heard it was going to be a musical.

I was turned off when I found it was just licensed music and would not have any original songs. Like… What’s the point of making a musical if you’re not gonna make new songs specifically for the story?

Ahhhh this is the first time hearing it isn’t original music. I took for granted that a musical would have original songs.

Worked for Moulin Rouge

  The caveat there is Moulin Rouge was a musical to begin with and didn’t have any prior expectations.

It’s not a new concept. They are called jukebox musicals. It works well for this story imho.

The point is Joker escaping into familiar songs to cope with reality.

  Should’ve had the point as him escaping to the world of music and have original songs

If they can somehow fit pre-existing music into the film, it can be fun to see essentially several high budget musical clips of known songs at once and also a film. Bollywood can be good at this.

That’s thoroughly disappointing to hear
