I'm a bad woman, what's up?

"I'm a bad woman, what's up?"

I used to call this woman Harley Quinn because she and the Joker seemed like a match made in heaven, but now that I've watched Birds of Prey, I prefer to call her Harley Quinn.

She is who she is, I believe she is not crazy because of the clown, she is so true in her nature. She didn't become a "bad woman" because of the clown. She had the charm of a "villain" who dared to do anything wrong.

That little brat thief asked her in the supermarket, how can I be you? I like the way you look.

She said you're going to be a psychiatrist after your Ph.D. in psychiatry, then fall in love with a mental patient, help him escape, fall in love with him, and then break up. (The original story is longer and more complete)

She was already a superior woman by the standards of the middle class and the elite, with a decent education and a decent job, but she had to get out of it and become a bad woman, rob supermarkets, and openly step on parties at parties. Break the knees of people who offend her, go to improvised bombing of chemical plants, go to single-handedly overturn the police station.

I love this bad woman with no superpowers.

Her iconic exaggerated expressions are unique in DC, like bringing her own BGM, walking like a wind, like a drama actress who has to live so dramatic.

Cute, right
This contrast

I have been disciplined too deeply by society, and I am covered with the shackles of public order and good morals. Even if I deliberately broke my shackles before, I have not been able to be as unrestrained, so free, and arrogant as Harley Quinn. I don't dare and don't want to do what the outside world says is hurtful, and Harley Quinn almost symbolizes the righteous and evil, sexy, hot, daring, and neurotic personality in everyone.

Why is she sexy?

God, unleashing the villain's nature is the sexiest thing in the world, okay?

Don't be afraid of the villains doing bad things, just be afraid that the villains have principles. In the end, she didn't bully the thief child or take revenge on the old restaurant man who betrayed her and whom she regarded as a friend in her wishful thinking (I thought she would rush up to give the old man a headshot).

In this way, she handed all the audience a business card, "I'm a bad woman, how?"

    DC is amazing. Harley Quinn's cartoons are so well done, and the live-action version can still be so bad. The scheduling is mediocre, the editing is chaotic, and the drama is played all over the place, giving me the feeling of watching an anti-Japanese drama. The rhythm of the first 40 minutes was slow, and it was sloppy towards the end. Some creativity in narrative structure was washed away by the trivial narration throughout. The characters other than Harley Quinn are paper people, and the villains are even more stupid. Can such an explosive (literally) villain really show female power?

    "Suicide Squad" became popular with Harley Quinn, so there was Harley Quinn's "Birds of Prey". The DC expansion universe is dead in name. Only some lines and eggs are left to tease you. The whole film is stable, and some of the action scenes are impressive and style. Absurd, nervous, and random, but with it, there is also a chaotic narrative, and the characters are too thin, especially the villain. Don't think that it doesn't matter if you are not at the same level as "Joker". The soundtrack upgrades the film, it's all R&B hip-hop rock and roll!

Birds of Prey quotes

  • Victor Zsasz: [referring to Harley blowing up the ACE Chemicals plant] Harley Quinn did it. Some kind of "fuck you" to the Joker. They split.

    Roman Sionis: What's wrong with you, Victor? Talk about burying the lead. This is spectacular news! She doesn't belong to him, she belongs to me. Have the boys go find her. Round her up, bring her back. I want her.

  • Harley Quinn: [after she offers to find Roman's diamond in exchange for not killing her] Harley Quinn: You want this diamond back? I'm your gal. Mr. J once lost a rare photograph of a nude Eleanor Roosevelt, and I found it in a bird's nest in Robinson Park. If you let me go, just for now, I'll get you that rock back. What have you got to lose? If your boys find it first, swear to God, you can kill me later. Pinky swear. Cross my heart, hope to fart.

    [Roman smacks her across the face]

    Roman Sionis: You're so tiresome! If you want my mercy, shut that hole in the middle of your face and listen. You're going to get me my diamond.
