What critics compared Zorro, The Gay Blade to
The year, by my reckoning, is 1981, since “Blow Out” and “Zorro: The Gay Blade” are advertised on cinema marquees.
Set in the Gotham City of 1981 (we know this because a movie theater is showing Blow Out and Zorro: The Gay Blade ), this stars Joaquin Phoenix as Arthur Fleck, who’s been beaten down by life — and beaten up by everyone around him — from Day One.
Modern Times, Blow Out and Zorro: The Gay Blade should give you an idea of what the director is going for.
