i know some will say we’ve known this all along. however, it gets called a musical on a daily basis on here, so i thought this was worth sharing 

So does A Star Is Born, and the music is described EXACTLY the same way by Bradley, so people will keep calling Joker a musical lmao

This reeks of them trying to gaslight the audiences because they are allergic to musicals

a star is born had musical numbers but it still wasn't classified as a "musical"? 

A Star is Born is also a musical.

Maybe ppl saying otherwise are of the belief that musical = bursting out in song (but not actually doing so in the film universe)

If it's not a musical, then has all the times we have seen Gaga in and out of the studio last year was because of LG7?

They will probably sing a few lines and dance to some songs in a few sequences. I don’t think they they’ll burst out singing a whole song at any given opportunity 

[TimotheeChalamet 5,628]

People call it a musical because they don't know anything about movies, watch it having like 3 dance and singing sequences like I've been saying for ages lol

when people find something they don't like on the internet they will remember it among everything else, it's incredible

“It could theoretically be classified as a musical, if someone were to directly refer to it as a musical. Which, we aren’t, despite its numerous musical sequences that stylistically lean into a theatrically music-centric feature film and which clearly are defining characteristics that fit the textbook definition of what one may refer to as ‘a musical’.”

I thought that was obvious? I never expected it to be a musical in the traditional sense.

It's not a traditional musical and that's good. I don't like musicals.

The lack of taste? Deep, profound even

I've always assumed this is a Drama/Thriller movie with Music elements in there. Just like A Star Is Born and Bohemian Rhapsody weren't musicals, they were Drama movies with music in there, that's why they were nominated in the Drama category at the Golden Globes instead of Musical/Comedy.

A lot of people have jumped to conclusions since this was announced and they keep thinking it's some type of Mary Poppins movie.

I'm actually lowkey sad that it doesn't have musical elements to it. Hopefully it still is music-related in someway.

So basically all those studio sessions aren’t for Joker but for LG7 OHHH i’m UPPP
