Wondering why Joker did what he did? Joaquin Phoenix, Todd Phillips discuss controversial talk show scene

Hindustan Times  

Actor Joaquin Phoenix and director Todd Phillips have spoken about the hotly debated talk show scene in Joker. He has that part in his journal, where he says that, ‘I hope my death makes more sense than my life.’ So we’d remember talking early on about the sequence in which somebody wants to take their own life, but they want the biggest audience possible because in some ways they feel like that will fulfil the feeling that they need, this need for recognition.” Joker talks about unchecked mental illness, and other societal issues. Phillips continued, “We don’t really talk a lot about what Arthur’s symptoms are, we don’t want to speak like psychiatrists. Outside of that, his other mental conditions or what have you, we’re not really sure what he suffers from, but I’m just thinking about the narcissism of, he wants to kill himself but wants to do it in front of… you know like do this idea that it should mean something.” Phillips had previously discussed the film’s ambiguous ending in an interview to the Los Angeles Times.
