This aspect of her personality is essential to understanding and sympathizing with her which is nearly impossible to avoid after witnessing her story on screen. Though she is hated by some and adored by others, she still is a person with emotions and feelings regardless of how deranged or complicated they may be. The powerful theme of girl power is present not only here but later on as well as she stands alongside four other females of varying races and ages who work together in the face of danger.Īside from knocking down stereotypes surrounding women, the character of Harley is portrayed here as being quite relatable. Harley’s liberating attitude is one of the empowering elements that make up the film as she proves to others, but more importantly herself, that the power she held while at the side of Joker is still very much hers, with or without him. Sick and tired of being viewed as “Joker’s girl,” she starts on a mission to re-invent herself as her own independent person rather than the property of a man’s. Taking place in the fictional city of Gotham, viewers follow Harley in her unpredictable, emotional journey to find herself after a breakup with the psychopathic criminal mastermind who has supreme power over the city - the Joker. After making a return in 2016, the character earned a narrative of her own in director Cathy Yan’s film “Harley Quinn: Birds of Prey.” Originally meant to simply be a one-episode character when she made her debut on “Batman: The Animated Series” in 1992, the infamous super villain is now admired and recognized by many. However, forewarning to anyone wanting to take their kids to see this film, there is a lot of swearing but what do you expect with the character of Harley Quinn.Long before DC’s popular movie “Suicide Squad” appeared on screens, the clown princess of crime known as Harley Quinn was born. Our Grade: A, This is a funny and colorful film for many who are big fans of Margot Robbie and Harley Quinn. With that being said, I loved that she is still a tough badass chick with a colorful and playful wardrobe combined with a devil may care attitude. You really have to know who Harley Quinn is and in my opinion, that movie introduced this character better than this movie did. I am not saying that a person has to watch the entire movie, but what I would do is at least watch clips of Harley Quinn’s character from Suicide Squad on YouTube, because admittedly, it will help to understand and follow this movie a lot better. I heard a bunch of no’s from different people including my coworkers and I happen to work in a movie theatre. Because of this, I was unsure if one had to watch that movie before they saw this movie. What We Think: Definitely packed with sarcasm and kickass women! Prior to seeing this movie, I was cautious because I personally have never seen Suicide Squad and if I am, to be honest, I still have no desire to watch it. But things soon even out for Harl ey when she becomes unexpected allies with three deadly women - Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead), Black Canary (Smollett-Bell) and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez). Unprotected and on the run, Quinn faces the wrath of narcissistic crime boss Black Mask (McGregor), his right-hand man, Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina), and every other thug in the city. What It Is: It’s open season on Harley Quinn (Robbie) when her explosive breakup with the Joker puts a big fat target on her back. Starring: Margot Robbie, Jurnee Smollett-Bell, Ewan McGregor
