Why did Arthur's girlfriend freak out when he entered her apartment?
Was she joking when she started to act like she didn't know him?
shareWas she joking when she started to act like she didn't know him?
shareThat wasn’t his girlfriend. It was all in his head. She was never with him.
shareHuh, what do you mean it was all in his head? What about the other people - was his mother or that midget real? The midget seemed out of place, and the scene where he kills his co-worker but he lets the midget go is pretty strange...
shareHow the fuck is this confusing for you? Sophie, his "girlfriend" was only his girlfriend in his head. He imagined they were together. In reality she barely knew his name. Really, this is made abundantly clear in the movie.
sharei think she only knew him with the joker makeup on, & was just surprised to see him without it & also all wet
shareWhat the fuck are you talking about? The scene in the elevator he doesnt have makeup up. In no scene with her does he have makeup on. Pay attention for gods sake
shareAgree with the others, it was all in his head..... only other scene that MIGHT be real was at the comedy club. He could have asked her to come see him. And after a while people did laugh at his jokes, that was not in his head, if you read the movie plot, it does say the audience warmed up to him after the crazy laughter outbursts..... so the scene with her at the club i believe could be real.
what say the rest of you folks on moviechat?
She never was with him in any of those imagined situations, FYI.
We don't even know if any of what was on screen was real or in his head.

Spoiler alert:
She wasn't his girlfriend. Arthur entered the apartment of a girl he didn't even know. The romance was all in his mind.
which scenes were in his mind?
shareAll of them except the initial elevator scene.
sharebut he was in her living room wet and crying at one point
shareThat was the only other real scene too. Forgot to add that one.
shareshe seemed a little out of it in that scene tho
Of course she did. That was not his girlfriend.
sharemaybe not going steady but they had been spending a good amount of time together by then
No.
sharehe knew the daughter's name
shareI checked it out, Sophie says Gigi's name on the elevator.
It all makes sense, because she is visibly creeped out by him when he imitated her cartoony suicide gesture, but in a weird, serial killer way. I don't think a single mother would ever let such a guy near herself or her daughter.
you have to remember that joaquin phoenix is also a goodlooking man, especially with his hair slicked back
shareThis thread is a great read, absolutely hilarious!!!
But as others have said, she bearly knew him. Theres a short montage showing that Arthur was really alone in all their "scenes together".
I hate it when people bash other for missing something. It can happen. But damn, I can't see how you missed that if you were watching the movie. It was extremely clear.
shareYou didn't see the part where they revealed her as a time traveling super villain? Her fiendish plan is to travel through time being "not nice" to hobos like him so as to create super villains out of them.
