As the controversial new comic-book film 'Joker' hits theaters, director Todd Phillips delves into some of the film's ambiguities.
Warning: Major spoilers about “Joker” ahead. Seriously, we’re not joking.From the start, Phillips was drawn to the Joker in large part because, for all of the character’s countless iterations over the decades, there has never been a single definitive version of the backstory of Gotham’s Clown Prince of Crime.
Phillips and co-writer Scott Silver layered that ambiguity into “Joker” from the start, with Fleck a fundamentally unreliable narrator of his own turbulent story. As the film ends, we see Fleck running down the halls of the asylum to the tune of Frank Sinatra’s “That’s Life” , trailing bloody footprints, having clearly claimed another victim.“Joker” offers a new take on the Batman villain, with Joaquin Phoenix in title role.
That said, given Fleck’s increasingly fractured state of mind, Phillips can certainly understand why viewers might speculate that much, if not all, of the story may not have really played out the way we see it.
