It made sense to us because when I first met with Joaquin and we first started talking about Joker, I talked to him that Arthur is one of those people that has music in him. So music and dance became a theme in the film. And this is the second time we see him dancing and it’s a little bit of Joker coming out, a little bit more than the scene before and a little bit less than the next time we see him dance.” — Todd Phillips, the director of JOKER

- Ah, experience has conditioned you into thinking that all hearts are red and all spades are black because their shapes are similar. It’s easier for your mind to interpret them based on that past experience instead of being open to the idea they could be different. We see what we expect to see, not necessarily what’s really there. Children who have never played cards always pass this test. Makes you wonder how many other things are right in front of you - sights, sounds, smells that you can’t experience because you’ve been conditioned not to. The good news is, if we do the test again, you’ll pass. Once you’re aware that there can be black hearts and red spades you’ll be able to perceive them. Your brain’s wiring is like the interstate highway system. It’s easier to go from one well-traveled place to another. But the places in between, off the highway, even though they’re there, most people zip right past them.  - Well, that’s a cool trick, but there aren’t any card games with red spades and black hearts.  - Well, how would you know?
