Too many thoughts, chaotic rhythm, ruined personality

Before "Suicide Squad" was officially staged, I was attracted by the trailers and stills. A group of anti-social elements, especially the "dirty girls", have a very attractive appearance. After the release, I heard a lot of bad feedback. Recently, I heard that the "extended version" has been released, so hurry up and check it out. After watching this film, I can’t say it’s bad, but it’s lively, but it feels like many viewers. There is a gap between the temperament that I originally felt. The director seems to have too many ideas. The heroes are so busy saving the world and they don’t have to take the shot. Scattered and scattered, trying to dig out the weak side of the "bad guys", and the result is that awkward, why can't it be as cheap as "Deadpool", it is simpler and purer?



Throughout today’s heroic movies, there are obvious traces of routines. No one is just (even if there are flaws, they are always just) defeating the evil, and the evil is tossing and tossing, nothing more than "N ways to destroy the earth." Where are the heroes? They must not be made too strong. After all, in Western culture, breaking through the self and defeating the strong with the weak is the eternal theme. Heroes must have something wrong, or they must be defeated by the evil forces if they are insufficient, or they must have some psychological problems. Self-breakthrough, this aspect is typical of "Spider-Man." There is also an increasingly popular strategy: pile up people, so that each has its own strengths, you are powerful, I can see six ways, you can set fire, I can spit water, you can be invisible. I'm talking about Brother Calabash, but it's basically this routine. "Suicide Squad" is obviously taking the group portrait route, and under the current aesthetic concept, the classical heroes have faded, and the flawed heroes are attractive. Therefore, originally, this film is full of individuality, different personalities, and diverse abilities. The combination is very capable of making a joyous and lively movie. As a result, it is a pity that the director made this process an emotional show on the big screen. Following the director’s lens, everyone complained.



In fact, it is a good way to dig into the inner pain and pain of heroes, such as "Spider-Man", such as Nolan's version of "Batman" first. Of course, Nolan is a great man, and heroic movies can capture the mentally sharply. , It can also capture the solemnity of social history. But more often, in today's superhero movie routines, it is precisely the character portray and the smooth plot become more important. Successful hero movies have successful character creation. The character style of this film should obviously be more similar to "Deadpool". That kind of cynicism, or the role of "Guardians of the Galaxy" feels dependable. At the beginning, there was this meaning. They were all social wonders, and their abilities were impressive, but as the film progressed, the taste changed and the director's shots were messed up. Yes, even if it’s a group movie, you have to have a main line. Everything around this main line of service, especially commercial action movies, audiences want to get entertainment experience, they want to play in one go, heartily, the regret of this film is It often asks the audience to have a big fight, suddenly drag you to a branch venue, one will see the love between the father and daughter of the death shooter, the postmodern love of the clown girl, and the arson man again. Can you please feel better about the family tragedy?



There is no doubt that the clown girl in the film is the focus, whether from the audience's expectations or the director's intention. In terms of shape and temperament, the clown girl is also pretty good. However, the director’s love story with the clown in Harley Quinn is always a play. In fact, Leto’s clown temperament in this film is still great, but it has become an embarrassing place in this movie. Either follow the clown girl crazy, or bring a bunch of people with guns, a character who can stand in the center of the stage, but has become the male lead of a romantic drama that is parallel to the main line of the film. Just imagine, if you simply explain the birth of Harley Quinn, and then let this line be completely removed, the film may be purer, and the badness of Harley Quinn may be more charming.

However, fortunately, although the film was tossed by the director a little bit, which destroyed the fluency and reduced the entertainment, but in the end it was still lively. This is the strength of the American film industry and it is enough to cover it. Although, I don’t understand, why the director made the soldiers who were parasitized by witches look like a intensive phobia, but they still performed the role of showing the superheroes as cannon fodder. Fighting, killing, killing, the scene is still very lively, but it is obviously a forgettable movie, even if there is a veteran like Will Smith to support the field, it still makes a little impression. After watching so many superhero movies, I feel more and more that the special effects scenes in the American film industry have become like playing today. The shaping of the character’s personality will become a more core element of the success of such a movie, and "Suicide" "Squad" has too many ideas and too many clues, but it turns this group of people who should be very individual into a group of people who only have stories. It's a pity that they didn't make good dishes because of the good materials.
