    The Joker is a bad imitation of King of Comedy (and Joker 2 is contained in the King of Comedy credits). I wouldn’t be surprised if it ripped off other movies; skimming summaries for Perfect Blue it doesn’t seem terribly similar beyond some themes. This thread has piqued my interest in Perfect Blue which sounds pretty rad.

      Joker has several scenes lifted directly from black swan, completely cinematographically identical. Black swan did the same to perfect blue, which I always find funny. Their premises also aren’t as dissimilar as you might think. Watched all 3 in a row with family and we had fun noticing the similarities. Don’t watch perfect blue with your parents.
