Managed by: Private User Last Updated: December 16, 2014 “Joker” is an ugly film. And “Joker” is good in the sense that it is competently shot, beautifully acted, and ticks all the right boxes that a film like this, so heavily influenced by the Scorsese pictures of the 1970s, is supposed to tick. After a few, superficial encounters, Arthur musters the courage to ask her out on a date. Sophie Dumont: Birthdate: estimated between 1745 and 1825: Death: Immediate Family: Daughter of Etienne-Pierre Dumont and Marie Bastien Wife of Jean Lesieur dit Lapierre Sister of Jude Dumont and Augustin Dumont. Three less creeps in Gotham City. The film isn’t for the faint-hearted and packs plenty of violence, particularly as the film’s main character Arthur becomes more and more the Joker.One thing it doesn’t show audiences, however, is the fate of the film’s ‘love interest’ Sophie Dumond as it leaves her outcome very much open to interpretation.But if you put two and two together the answer begins to reveal itself.Sophie Dumond, played by Deadpool 2’s Zazie Beetz, is a single mother and resident of the same apartment building as Arthur and his sick mother Penny.Arthur and Sophie meet in the building’s lift, or elevator, and the pair exchange a brief conversation about how poor their apartment block is with both pointing imaginary guns at their own temples.After Arthur’s first bout of murders, as the Joker begins to awaken within him, he is seen going to Sophie’s apartment, bursting through the door and kissing her.For the next few scenes, it appears that the two are in an idyllic relationship with Sophie appearing to support Arthur as he takes his first failed step into the world of stand-up comedy and when his mother is taken into hospital.However, a later scene shows a rain-soaked Arthur returning back to her apartment where he sits waiting on her sofa.Upon returning to the room, Sophie is shocked to find Arthur in her apartment and politely but frightenedly asks him to leave.Arthur turns to her and points an imaginary gun at his head, in reference to their only real interaction up to this point as the relationship was purely a hallucination, before the scene ends and we see him walking back to his own apartment.While the film doesn’t explicitly show Sophie’s fate, it’s almost certain that she was killed by Arthur.Given the fact that the film focuses so much on Arthur’s mental state, it’s highly likely that the thought running through his head in that scene was ‘if I can’t have you, no one can’ as it’s a common occurrence and motive in murders involving unrequited love.

After a few, superficial encounters, Arthur musters the courage to ask her out on a date. The movie presents us with a handful of open-ended questions. While it was always clear that the Joker wanted to have an audience for his crime, it seems he specifically hoped that Sophie was watching while it happened.Right now, it’s hard to say if we’ll ever see Sophie on our screens again, but now that After having been locked up in Arkham, Arthur Fleck reencounters his past and at the same is faced with an uncertain future where there seems to be only a small light of hope at the end of the tunnel. The main question mark that still remains is the fate of Sophie’s daughter who had just been tucked up in bed by her mother. However, one of the biggest questions is whether Fleck killed his neighbour Sophie Dumond (Zazie Beetz), whose romance with Fleck was revealed to be an hallucination and delusion. Joker: Sophie Dumond, Harley Quinn & The Ideal (Disposable) Girlfriend. Unnerved by his presence, Sophie tells Arthur to leave, and he quickly obliges.What we don’t see in the actual film, however, is the part where Arthur invites Zazie Beetz’s character to watch his climactic TV appearance.
