hi congratulations on the movie I'm Janet nepales from j7 uh Haim can you tell us about the dream that you had that inspired this movie and also for Lady Gaga working with hwen what was the thing that really made you uh go for it like inspired you to get into the movie um the the dream was is not Inspire the movie the the dream was just um I had this dream that I was I was performing as Joker um doing songs and um and I just called Todd um because I thought there might be something there and there wasn't thank you um uh I would say working with Wen was a total Breeze and I uh I actually really enjoyed it and uh it was a completely different experience than any one that I'd ever had before with an actor uh he's incredibly loose and free and I think I learned very much that going on set with a preconceived notion of what we were going to do was kind of the wrong idea and I think we all really thrived in the moment and in the chaos of it all this is such an interesting story the way that Todd tells this story I think I think I think if you're imagining what this movie is like and then you go see it you'll realize that you couldn't have possibly thought of it on your own um and and in order to make that happen you know we had to find it every day and you know what was what was the truth what was the honest moment in each scene um and and how did it tell a story that quite frankly I think we really want all of you to decide for yourselves when you see the film what it means to you um uh and instead of deciding it for you I have a question for Todd um how how did you mediate the the realism of the first film I mean some some of the some of the strength of the film was those very realistic images and the greatness of the city with the stylization that comes with with a musical form you know you know this is not a musical but has that component yeah but I think um you know visually stylistically it it exists in the same world as the first film for a lot of it and then when we break out of it for certain things we're breaking out of it with the freedom of Arthur's imagination and where Arthur would take something and again Arthur in the first film to me Beyond had having music in him had a romance to him he had panach he had style even though you didn't really see it so I think what the musical elements in this film enabled us to do visually is to kind of lean into that style and and but again to me it's all informed through his eyes you know
