The director of Joker shared the reason behind removing Lady Gaga’s much-talked-about kiss scene from Folie à Deux.
In the world of movies, sometimes scenes that fans love don’t make the final cut. This happened with Lady Gaga’s kiss in the Joker sequel. The director thought it didn’t fit well with the story they wanted to tell. “It just didn’t work,” he explained, emphasizing how every part of a movie needs to help tell the story in the best way possible.
Sometimes, I wonder why directors make these choices.
While fans were excited about the scene, the director had to think about what was best for the film as a whole. Even if something is popular or looks cool, it doesn’t always mean it’s right for the movie. It’s like when you have a favorite toy that doesn’t fit in your backpack; you have to leave it behind even if you really want to take it with you.
Movies are like puzzles, and each piece has to fit just right.
