Part 1: Talk about how I view the director's cut version of David Aye (updated in 2021)
————————————————————-
In 2021, with the word-of-mouth of the Rolling Guidance Suicide Squad, David Ayer published his own film director's cut version of the dynamic:
David Aye confirmed that his guide cut version is a complete and mature edited version, with an excellent soundtrack, and not a single radio song. It's not a 10-week guided editing version, nor is it a Warner editing version.
The following is my personal opinion:
I always think that director David Aye is a very responsible person. No matter whether he really missed the suicide team in 16 years, David Aye was the first to stand up and take the initiative to take the wrong and refuse to throw the pot. (Compared to someone)
It is also a moment of hot-headed look down on Marvel next door, David Aye will take the initiative to apologize to the next door, let Stan Lee forgive. It is also to mess up a heavyweight IP, David Aye dared to speak up in the media and tell the media that something happened is my pot! Don't hurt the innocent!
He doesn’t engage in a fandom. He didn’t choose to post black and white pictures on social media to instigate fans to make trouble, and he didn’t buckle the bad shit pots to anyone else. Based on this, I think he is the director. The edited version is worth paying attention to.
Aye, who is also wide, has also filmed such wonderful works as Fury, so if Aye is really talented, I will support it, more because of his good character, rather than whether his director's editing version will really be successful.
I generally see Hollywood directors and stars in several categories:
1. Have the strength and never roll over, and be a low-key person, with a good impression of 100%
2. Occasionally overturning, most of the works are handy, good character. Dare to admit your problems and mistakes. Favorability 80%
3. Despite the occasional bohemian language, but his own strength is still relatively stable, take the golden lion. Favorability 60%
4. Poor level, bad character, habitually dumping all investment companies, people who rely on the Internet to fan the flames to gain traffic. Favorability is 20%.
Aye belongs to the second category of directors.

Part 2: Analysis of SS Movie Easter Eggs———————————————————— 1. The first is the locations of several films. The place where the prisoner is held in the movie is Belle Reve Penitentiary (Sweet Dream Prison) in Louisiana, which appeared in the first episode of the comic book "Suicide Squad", so here is the reference to the original.
2. We also saw the Akahan Asylum in the DC movie universe for the first time. This is a place in the DC universe where many mentally abnormal people are locked up. Harley Quinn also works as a psychologist there in the comics, but in the end he falls in love with the clown and becomes Harley Quinn. In addition, it is rumored that this is also the location of Ben Affleck's personal Batman movie!
3. The location of the disaster in the movie is Midway City. This city is not as famous as Gotham and Metropolitan City, but the Eagle Man and the Eagle Girl once lived there. It is also one of the strongholds where the hero organization Doom Patrol has been active.
(Doom Patrol is a heroic organization formed by a group of people with special abilities with serious defects.) 4. In the plot of Harley Quinn smashing the window and carrying the bag, there is a short Latin text in the background. The meaning of that text is roughly "If you If you expect peace, you are ready for war." This also echoes Amanda's purpose. 5. Next, let’s talk about Harley Quinn. The traditional costume of Harley Quinn has appeared in the film several times, once it was taken out of the box by her.
6. The other time was in the clown's room, with the model next to him wearing it. 7. Harley Quinn also put on that costume briefly in the film, and that scene echoes that of the American comic book giant Alex Ross.
The first appearance of this costume was when Harley Quinn made his first appearance in the Batman animation. 8. The weapons, mallets and baseball bats used by Harley Quinn are all weapons that have appeared in the Akahan game series.
9. Harley Quinn’s tattoo has "pudding", which is her nickname for the clown, which is the same as her neck ring.
10. There is a clown girl tattoo on the right hand. 11. In Harley Quinn’s profile, there is a very small line mentioning that she "assisted in killing Robin"... This may be Harley Quinn’s biggest egg!
12. In the movie, Harley Quinn is pushed into a pool of chemical agents, and thus becomes Harley Quinn, which is the same as Harley Quinn in the DC Comics New 52 Universe. But the difference is that in the comics, Halle was pushed down by the clown. 13. Harley Quinn helping the clown with psychological analysis is also a setting that has appeared in comics and animations. Harley Quinn was a gymnast before, so she would do gymnastics in the cell. 14. Next, let's talk about other members. In the movie, Slipknot, who is quite a tool man, discusses the story of the bomb with Captain Boomerang. It is a part of the story that appeared in the original work. Even his head exploding is a common practice (?)... In "Batman: Blood Splash Asia" There is a similar picture in "Kehan". What a poor character.
15. The story of Flame Demon is basically based on the original. He was possessed by a demon and gained the ability to control fire. In the new 52 version, he also became unwilling to hurt people after accidentally killing his family members out of control. 16. Katana's background story is not explained much in the movie, except that her husband's soul is trapped in a samurai sword that can absorb the soul. In fact, her husband was killed by her brother because the two brothers fell in love with her at the same time. Later, she also took revenge on her husband's brother. Talking to the katana is also a setting in the original manga. 17. Death shot is very low-key in the movie. In fact, he is Batman's old enemy in the original game, and he deliberately wants to kill Batman. But in the comics, the death shot is a bit ambiguous with Harley Quinn, and he was stopped by his daughter when he wanted to kill Batman, which is also a plot in the comics. 18. The abilities of the Charm Witch are similar to those in the comics, even the method of transforming (calling "The Charm Witch") is the same, but the origin of the character is different. Some abilities are emphasized in the movie. 19. Captain Boomerang is basically...no big change. In addition, when Captain Boomerang was caught in jail, the Flash came out to arrest people, because Captain Boomerang was one of the important villains in the Flash story... I know that a hero who is fast enough to travel through time is just thrown out with one. The villains of various boomerangs don't feel quite the same, but that's it. 20. Incidentally, the scene where the Flash arrested Captain Boomerang was actually directed by Chuck Snyder, and he helped film it when he was filming "Justice League" in London. 21. Finally, we will talk about the clown. In the movie, we see the Ace Chemical Factory, which is where the clown fell into the chemical pool, turning him into green hair, white skin, and red lips (also where the clown girl fell into it!). 22. In addition, when the clown is lying in the middle of the weapon circle and laughing wildly, the baby clothes can be seen in the outermost circle. This may have many meanings, perhaps it implies that his pregnant wife died in the comics "Killing Joke", or that he wanted to have children with the clown girl, or as the actor Jared Reto said, the clown is like a serial murderer , Will collect some of the victim's things and so on... 23. Many of the clowns in the film, and even the tattoos, are a tribute to the works that have painted clowns in the past. The tattoos on his body are also meaningful. [For details, see below: 16 details on the body of Leto Joker] 24. Other characters include Derek Tolliver, a character from the original comic book Suicide Squad. Although he didn't have much points in the movie, he tried to threaten the suicide squad in the comics, and was eventually killed by Flag. 25. Finally, in the film, the logo of the suicide squad appeared several times, including on Harley Quinn's mallet, as well as when shooting dead shots.
26. In addition, Batman has appeared in the film several times, and the description of Batman in the film is very close to the original comics: running around to fight crime, but not killing criminals. 27. Batman and Amanda have also interacted in comics and animations, but their concepts are too different to get along. But it's a bit strange that Batman seeks information about superhuman beings from Amanda, after all, he should have found a lot in Rex Luthor's computer. But just treat him as being cautious, and add a hint that he is looking for a lot of "friends"? 28. Watcher Easter eggs appear
In the movie, the suicide squad arrived at the destination to prepare for the mission. On the way, the dead shot stopped in front of the window of a children's clothing store. Looking at the beautiful dress, maybe he thought of his daughter, but behind the window is A laugh, but there is no blood. 29.. ARGUS government agency is equivalent to the emergence of Marvel's SHIELD
In the comics, after the restart of the main world, the American superhuman event processing agency-ARGUS (full name Advanced Research Group for Uniting Super-Humans, which can be translated as Sky Eyes) is equivalent to the function of S.H.I.E.L.D., and ARGUS, agent Amanda Waller, Steve Trevor and others established a team after receiving state funding, the Justice League of America, which was formed to prevent mistakes of the Justice League formed by heroes such as Superman and provide a good image for the US government. of. 30. Famous scenes in games and comics have appeared in the movie many times: such as ACE Chemical Factory, Alam Asylum
31. Tribute to the original author of the suicide squad comics: John Ostrander, the crew made a notice board with the original author’s name outside the building in the movie plot
32. The content of the Easter eggs in DC’s first ending credits: Waller and Bruce traded. The price of Waller asking Bruce to protect his security was to get some confidential information, and Bruce’s intelligence included the suicide of the operation. The list of commandos and the intelligence of the Superhuman Flash and Aquaman, Waller asked him what to do? He replied: I want to make friends Waller said he can trust friends, but he can only trust the bargaining chip, and said Bruce looks like Too tired, it is best not to work at night, and Bruce replied that you better manage yourself, lest my friends and I will come. -------- 16 details of the body of Leto the clown------- 1. About the clown's tattoo
What was the reaction of Jared Leto’s new clown when it was public? In fact, everyone was very disgusted at the beginning of the foreign country, especially unable to accept so many tattoos on the body, plus silver teeth, appearance and the clown in the minds of fans for many years. It's different. Director David Ayer said that he wanted to modernize the role of the clown and give him a sense of underworld. The modeling is based on the Russian Mafia. David Ayer is actually a very careful director. Everything that exists has a reason. This also includes 16 tattoos of the clown. 1. "Damaged"
The first is the most obvious "Damaged" on the forehead to describe it has been damaged or broken (this is still the most hated one by foreign friends haha). Just by looking at the perfect font, you can be sure that this is not the creation of the clown himself. It may be a reminder left by someone (guard?) in the Blackgate Penitentiary, the clown's momentary weakness. (The other argument is that the clown may be an old story of Jason Todd, which the director denied it before) 2．star
The most overlooked tattoo of all. In history, star tattoos usually represented protection and guidance, but now most people just think it looks good. In Russian prison tattoos, stars mean ranks, but they generally pierce 8-pointed stars. 3. "J"
It is also about Jason Todd's guess. Personally feel that this modern clown should pay much attention to his trademark? brand? The director also said that this is the clown with the most commercial basis (Clubs are all opened...), and using your own name and logo as a tattoo is no exception. 4. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
The clown's signature laughter. This handwritten font style is a bit like the promotional material used in The Dark Knight. 5. HAHAHAHAHA
On the left arm, continue to laugh 6. Robin shot to death
The English name of Robin is "Robin". Of course, there is no need to analyze this. The second generation Robin was killed by the clown. (Will it be okay to expose this to provoke Batman...#(汗)) 7．Skull clown
Personally, I think this is quite artistic, and it's a bit more refined than others. Netizens have a lot of speculation about this tattoo. Some people think it has something to do with Harlequin, like a dead Robin bird, conscious of the life taken by the clown, Harleen Quinzel in the previous life of Harleen Quinzel died. Some people say that this skull represents the Joker himself, he is no longer the same he was before. 8. JOKER
To look in the mirror, right? Nothing special, it's Joker 9. Belly laugh
Is it another vacancy to show off your signature laugh? 10. Knife stabbed bat logo
This... Needless to say, right? To be more specific, the knife is stabbed at the center and pierced in the heart. At the climax of the story in The Dark Knight Returns comics, the clown repeatedly stabbed Batman in the bloody battle between the clown and Batman.
11. The big smile on the forearm
This one is actually quite creative. Whenever the clown wants to protect himself with his hands, all the other party sees is his big smiling face, which fits the clown’s personality very well. At the same time, this smiley mouth is designed based on the face of Death Of The Family clown. 12. Smiling hands
Another smile. But this time the style is based on The Killing Joke's smile. It can be used to hide the real smile of the clown or when the other person is smiling. 13. Playing card symbols
Generally speaking, any tattoo that is connected to a playing card is for "good luck". Maybe this time the clown is more dependent on luck and gambles. 14. "All In"'All In' is a common phrase in poker, when the gambler puts all his chips in. The top card is an ace of spades plus a skull. A is the highest level card, which means good luck, but also fear. In 1970, the cover of "The Jokers Five-Way Revenge!" by DennyONeills showed Batman fixed to the same card. 15. The clown holding a hammer.
By the way, most clown tattoos are not visible, but are revealed by the released suicide squad toy series. This small tattoo is under the left shoulder. The styling is directly from the Death Of The Family clown. The big smile and the hammer in the air are imitating the most famous picture in Death Of The Family. 16. "God's Only Child"
I myself am curious about what is behind the clown. Didn't expect the ordinary in the outside? The only big character stabbed is "God's Only Child", which can be translated as "God's Only Child". Remember that in the exclusive trailer of the Joker, he was described as "Total Megalomania" and "arrogant". This can also be understood as he is satirizing religion, belief, etc. Oh add one more,
Regarding the clown's mouthful of silver braces, David Ayer said that this is not the style of the clown's choice, but there is a story behind it. Until now, there are still people who think that he has started to take the hip-hop style, and because he hates this new clown (in hip-hop culture, gold and silver are usually used to make bling braces). . this. . . Too wrong, the tooth was punched by Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) in Birds Of Prey 124. I am going to fill my teeth~ The shape of the smashed tooth matches the braces that the clown is now wearing.

Part Three: Personal Evaluation of the 2016 Movie———————————————————— 6/10
Let me talk about the disadvantages first:
[1]. SS movie has such a powerful star luxury lineup, no matter how bad the user reviews, the box office will not be too low, because the pre-announcement is too hot, but you have to admit that even if you like this movie no matter how much , The film’s reputation unexpectedly became the second time Waterloo media audiences were overwhelmingly negative after BVS.
This movie has cool set, action and costume props. However, the plot is so chaotic and turbulent that it weakens the perception.
[2]. Another weak link is the character of the villain. The so-called background of the villain is just a brief introduction. There is no real background story to attract us, and there is almost no explanation why the villain wants to destroy the world and what the villain’s inner world thinks. Yes, this is really important.
再说值得肯定的优点: [1].该电影也是DC作品的典型黑色幽默，而且对主要角色的描绘和安排我认为相当细腻，唯一可惜的点是因为时间长度问题，剪掉了一点的内容。几版预告片较好藏住故事主要的走向和角色分工，正片观影时会有意想不到的惊喜，这点比BVS做的好太多，BVS基本上几版预告看下来，你已经被剧透完了。 [2].而且看完后还会觉得比起那些所谓的＂坏蛋＂，阿曼答瓦勒（黑人女）才是真正的＂邪恶＂，这角色与原作里倒是如出一撤的心机。令人意外的是，这次在角色塑造上，尤其群戏透露出该类电影少有的感动，大卫·阿耶的剧本再次发挥了他以细节塑造角色的能力，有力而克制，有种意犹未尽的感觉，有不少令人揪心的瞬间和暖心的角色互动，个人很喜欢这点 也同样大推这部的小丑，他是有着DC重启后给人耳目一新的感觉的小丑，和哈莉的故事也都是有着原作的基底，虽然整部电影与原作还是有些不同，但仍然令人充满惊喜和刺激感。说实话他对哈莉执着的屡次施救，和漫画设定中的小丑出入还是蛮大的；甚至每段小丑和哈莉同时出现的画面都唯美得跟MV似的，甚至说莱托在片中的每次出场都像在拍MV。。但是为数不多的戏份却让我感到小丑和哈莉是彼此相爱的（男友力MAX这真的对熟悉这个角色的人来说感觉怪怪的）而他并不像一个反社会的疯子，而是一个爱人被抓的帮派分子. [3].但是最让我欣喜的是演员的演出和背景音乐。因为你知道这种漫画电影都是一个套路 闯关打boos所以剧情深度我姑且说不是很深。但是影片的特效绝对弥补了这一点，如果你觉得美队3英雄对决很过瘾，那我告诉你这部影片几乎全程在这么打。。再说背景音乐选择非常别出心裁，这个你看了就会有 把这些音乐全部收进你音乐库的冲动，简直恰到好处。 和BVS不同的是，这次影片叙述故事的方式非常恰当。很难相信这是在一部电影里分别介绍了众多主角的过去和个人能力而且还不是那种很无聊的叙述方式，每个人都呈现了自己过去的感情戏 比如死射对女儿 和小丑女和小丑…影片整体的节奏很工整，不像蝙超那样 莫名其妙的打 莫名其妙的和好摸秒奇妙的打boss。作为BVS的“非正统”续作，事实上在影片开始和片尾彩蛋做到了承上启下的作用，为《正义联盟》打响了头炮。
