Last year I made one of the biggest mistakes of my life. No, in the end I did not end up blowing savings on the crypto, sent Dank Mems to a working server, or donated money to a politician whose campaign would not stop sending me SMS. I spent time and money instead of watching Joker 2 in theaters. I didn’t think it would be possible for someone to defend this without humor but to my astonishment recent defense of Lady Gaga Joker 2 How bold artistic statement softened (unless it has changed) my view of this film stink.

Lady Gaga is right about Joker 2

Frankly, I waited for Lady Gaga to get into the vein of Quentina Tarantino and praise Joker 2 Simply because it went against the grain of what critics, audiences and Hollywood executioners expected. Instead, in a recent interview for varieties simply said that “people simply don’t like some things” and “being an artist, you have to be willing to ever like it.” She stopped it by noticing how to give up fear of Failure is one of the worst ways we can hurt ourselves and “we can be difficult to get control”.

Paradoxically, what I liked in the defense of Lady Gaga Joker 2 It’s that it wasn’t a defense. At least not in the strictest sense. She did not come and tried to convince us that the film was secretly brilliant, nor did she like how the masses simply did not understand the masterpiece. Instead, she pointed out that risk is the price of art production and that there would never be anything if all our artists were constantly paralyzed by fear of disappointing people.

In determining this sage wisdom itself, Lady Gaga She also indicated why she didn’t bother much that her most important film became one of Hollywood’s biggest flops. “You’re going on, even if something has not joined the way you intended,” she said. It goes with her hand in hand Dune-Similar thoughts of the fear of being such a killer of mind. As someone who has created amazing things in the past and plans to create amazing things in the future, cannot afford to leave one failure (albeit very highly profile) to destroy all its creative ambitions.

After I read the statement of Lady Gaga, I could not help but again consider my own thoughts Joker 2. Don’t make a mistake now. I still think that is terrible A film that failed at almost every level. And remains associated with similar Skywalker’s rise In my mind, when it comes to bombs with a large budget, which I once watched in theaters exactly and will never return.

However, the comparison of the Star Wars and Joker is the best way to appreciate what Gaga says here. With the continuation of the trilogy, The strength wakes up was a soft restart New hopeand we didn’t get a movie that tried to do anything new The last Jediwho became a flop that almost derailed both the fandom and the franchise itself. Then, Disney furiously played it safely with their dear IP, production Skywalker’s rise Nostalgia-Fest of famous faces and places, even though they went on television shows with familiar characters like Ahsoka, Bob Fett and Obi-Wan Kenobi.

Lady Gaga, in defense Joker 2He pointed out that artists could not afford to take care of critical and commercial failure if they want to continue to create. This is exactly what Star Wars did, though … After experienced one main failure, Disney started doing nothing but play safely and the effort (Bob Fett’s bookAnyone?) Can Ironically doom franchise. If they ever want to get back on the track, they need more creatives like Gaga, who are starver to take risks than they’re afraid to lose their face.

Of course, neither Disney execution nor screenwriters may imitate the former Lady Gaga project so much that we end up with other films as bad as Joker 2. However, the Maverick of Creative Spirit must accept, allowing him to move large fluctuations than to emerge into record books. Of course, not every swing will combine, but if producers are never willing to be as creatively crazy as a joker itself, we may never get a really big budget blockbuster again. That is far away, far Worse than having to sit over a single disappointment.
