Compared with "Suicide Squad", this time Harley Quinn's character is more plump. Margot Robbie's performance brought out Harley Quinn's ruthless mixed-girl playful character of criminals to the fullest, creating what I think is a classic antihero image.
Harley Quinn, translated as Harley Quinn in Chinese, can be seen from this translation name, she has always been a vassal of the "clown", but in fact, Harley is a character with a real story.
Throughout the whole film, Harley's life experience is actually quite tragic. After birth, she was exchanged for six bottles of beer by her father, abused by a foster nun, had several sad relationships, and was abandoned by her beloved clown. In the film, she is also sold by the Taiwanese restaurant owner who she thought was kind enough to take her in. The overall feeling is that Harley lacks love, and this encounter has cultivated her antisocial personality as a criminal. But she was more of making fun of her criminal activities. The perverted clown will also be sad to cry.
Margot Robbie's performance is also remarkable, showing the contrast of Harley Quinn's cute and girly criminal activities. In the film, she will occasionally use a girl-specific playful tone and naughty expression, which is really cute. But the rest of the time, she was a ruthless criminal who planned, committed, and fought ten against ten. After finishing one vote, I go home to eat snacks and watch cartoons.
Halle's fighting skills are very characteristic. She can spin and volley. At first, I thought it was a gymnastics technique, but it was actually the technical moves of the American high school cheerleading team. In the classic episode of making a big riot at the police station, the weapon she uses is a paintball gun that won't kill you. When it hits someone, it will burst into colorful and extremely beautiful dust, which makes her feel very young and girly.
Of course, this film is also full of strong feminist awareness, and it is full of images of women beating men, which is related to the background of the "Me too" movement in the United States fighting for women's rights in full swing.
Relatively speaking, other female characters are all foils, giving people a very shallow impression. The huntress was originally a person with a great story background, but it could only be superficial. The whole film sees Harley's brilliance alone.
I really like this clever, playful, and likes to make fun of crimes, but in fact, she is kind and vulnerable at heart.
