After the Harley Quinn exploded in Suicide Squad in 2016, DC adapted to launch Harley Quinn's personal film "Harley Quinn and the Birds of Prey Squad" this year, as well as the animated series "Harley Quinn" in 2019. As an animated series, "Harley Quinn" uses an exaggerated and funny style to jokingly tell the daily crime of Gotham villains, and it is also very "de-clowning" - the clown becomes The PUA scumbag who has done all kinds of evil and repeatedly abandoned, and the clown girl has gradually become Harley Quinn from the clown's ex-girlfriend.
Animation has a wider world than real life, and there are all kinds of elements that can be imagined in animation: the cult picture of American animation, the blood and blood is breathtaking; the tribute to the 1980s and the interpretation of classic movies, "Monster Street", "Star Wars" also has all kinds of 80s memes, especially the performance of the clay figurines; the ridicule of excessive feminism and racism in the United States; the appearance and subversion of DC classic characters, Gotham is a city is a universe, riddles The love and hatred of Man, Penguin, Justice League, Batman and The Joker, Gordon's transformation from a justice police chief to a derailed decadent man, and the cameo of the villain in the Nolan trilogy are all surprising.
Feminism and LGBT are also big features. Harley began to be labeled as a clown girlfriend, rejected and laughed at because of women, and finally got the approval of the Gotham Crime Association LOD with her own efforts; the emotional line between Harley and Poison Ivy has always been To promote the development of the plot, there is also Harley's sentence "Joker never loved me. He only loves Batman." The LGBT culture in the United States is almost parallel to the mainstream. Behind the commercialization is the understanding and support for LGBT; turning the camera to the East, This year's LGBT movie "Rise of the Real" was released in India, and "Uncle Uncle", which was nominated for the Golden Horse Award, will also be released in Taiwan. LGBT is actually not that scary.
The only downside is that although Harley is a super scoundrel, it still falls into the superhero routine in E9-E13, which is the three-stage structure commonly used in movies. After E1-E8 introduced Harley and her team to establish characters, E8-E9 used parallel narrative techniques to build dramatic situations. Use the poison ivy girl to be caught to construct the plot point, and at the same time, Harley loses the trust of her companions because of the date with the clown; after rescuing the poison ivy girl, the scarecrow makes a scene in Gotham City, and the poison ivy girl is killed by the clown. The happy ending of the contradiction is resolved, "evil" overcomes "more evil", and finally the resurrection of the poison ivy to rescue Harley is also in line with Hollywood's "last second principle". Of course, the easter eggs at the end are indispensable. The clown's hand sticks out from the soil like the poster of Jarmusu's "The Dead Don't Die", paving the way for the second season - is it like a lot of commercial movies? Deadpool, Wolverine, X-Men... Harley Quinn's anti-heroism turned out to be a hero in the end. I thought it was a deviant but a good child in essence. This is also a little disappointment to the plot.
