"Joker: Madness Together" caused controversy in the world's film-loving community when it portrayed an image of Arthur Fleck/Joker (Joaquin Phoenix) completely different from the comics or previous adaptations.
Not only that, the love between Joker and Harley “Lee” Quinn (Lady Gaga) is also portrayed by director Todd Phillips in his own bold way. Instead of Harley Quinn being crazy and pursuing Joker like the audience usually sees, the roles between the two have been reversed.
Lady Gaga's performance clearly showed the audience a passionate Harley, ready to sacrifice everything for the violent, flashy Joker in her own fantasy. On the contrary, there was disappointment and hatred for the mediocre, weak Arthur Fleck.
In real life, actress and singer Lady Gaga also experienced a difficult and troubled love life.
Lady Gaga's real name is Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, born in 1986. She started playing the piano at the age of 4 and started singing at the age of 15.
Gaga had an unhappy early career, she revealed that she was abused and raped by a producer at the age of 19, causing her to become pregnant and then have an abortion. That haunted Gaga for many years.
In 2005, Lady Gaga met drummer Luc Carl at a bar in New York. The two fell in love and dated, on and off, for many years.
During her breakup with Luc Carl in 2008, Lady Gaga had a relationship with Los Angeles designer Matthew Williams. But the relationship ended quickly that year because both wanted to focus on work.
In 2010, she got back together with Luc Carl but then "went their separate ways" just 1 year later. Lady Gaga wrote "You and I" to express her feelings about this breakup.
In July 2011, Lady Gaga met actor Taylor Kinney on the set of the music video "You and I", where he played her lover.
The two quickly began dating, but only confirmed their relationship in 2014. On Valentine's Day 2015, Kinney proposed to Gaga with a heart-shaped diamond ring that he designed himself, with the help of Lorraine Schwartz.
But in July 2016, she announced her separation from her fiance.
Shortly after, Gaga was spotted with Christian Carino at a concert in January 2017. In October 2018, they confirmed their engagement. Gaga referred to Carino as her “fiance” at the ELLE gala.
In early 2019, Lady Gaga walked the red carpet at the Grammy Awards without her fiance by her side. The singer's representative later confirmed to People: "It didn't work out. Sometimes relationships have to end."
At the same time, rumors spread online that Gaga was dating Bradley Cooper. However, neither of them actually confirmed their relationship.
In July 2019, she fell in love with sound engineer Dan Horton but broke up just a few months later.
In January 2020, after being spotted in Miami, Gaga confirmed that she was dating businessman Michael Polansky. Born in 1978, he graduated from Harvard University and is an investor focusing on the technology market, with a net worth of about $600 million.
Up to now, the two have been together for 4 years. Gaga considers her boyfriend her spiritual support, accompanying her to many big events.
After many ups and downs in her love life, fans hope Michael Polansky will be the final destination, bringing true happiness to Lady Gaga.
