Nostalgia and cinematic references

Cards (2)

  • Joker evokes a sense of cultural nostalgia, drawing from the aesthetics of 1970s and 1980s cinema
    This era is often romanticized for its raw, character-driven storytelling, which contrasts sharply with the polished spectacle of contemporary blockbusters
  • The film's soundtrack, featuring songs like Frank Sinatra's "That's Life" (1966) reinforces this nostalgic tone, connecting Arthur's tragic journey to a bygone cultural era
