Ever since Marvel unifies the style and worldview and builds its own movie universe, the old rival DC has begun to feel a huge threat.
In fact, in terms of global influence, DC's superheroes have been even better. Not only have two national-level explosive roles of Superman and Batman, but the comic adaptation film "Batman: The Dark Knight" was taken in 2008. After breaking the $ 1 billion global box office, the record of the superhero movie box office was not broken by "Avengers" until four years later.
However, compared with Marvel's step-by-step and steady play, DC's planning for its superhero movies is obviously lacking in rules. The most prominent problem is that the style is extremely inconsistent and erratic, which directly led to the first hero assembly movie "Justice League". Word of mouth and box office were not satisfactory.
In fact, the success of Wonder Woman and Aquaman proves that the classic narrative mode and structure are still the most powerful weapons to attract audiences. Therefore, it is not that the viewers are tired of DC superheroes. The key is that the company needs to figure out what the audience wants when making decisions.
01. The style and characteristics of violence
"Birds Of Prey" is DC's latest work after the success of "The Joker". The previous film "Suicide Squad" can be described as a heterogeneity in all DC movies. A large number of anti-heroic characters make this film full of gloomy and tricky temperament.
The director's total loss of control of the rhythm has mixed the film with a variety of inexplicable and freewheeling, making it still a negative teaching material for studying the failure of film planning.
The story of "Birds Of Prey" inherits the "Suicide Squad". The story continues with the characteristics of violence. However, the protagonist team only retains Harley Quinn, the The Joker, and other important roles are replaced by newcomers, including police detectives. Montieya, Black Canary Dina Reims, Huntress Helena Bertine, Batgirl Cassandra Cain and others.
They didn't know each other at first, but because of coincidence, they gathered around the The Joker women at the lowest point of their lives to fight against the villainous group led by Roman Sionis.
Each of the five protagonists has their own problems to solve. The The Joker woman is searching for her own love, the detective is insisting on her ideal, the hunter is revenge for the family, the black canary is for dignity, and the Batwoman is more like a symbolic role. Her existence is mainly to link up the whole story as a plot propeller.
02. The characters in the movie look very loose
The biggest difficulty of this collective superhero movie is how to pave the way for the team to look logical and natural, because a little carelessness will unbalance the overall structure of the film and offend passersby.
Just like "The Avengers", if there were no independent movies of a single character in series before, the audience would be completely confused, and "Suicide Squad" and "League of Justice" made such mistakes, leading to word of mouth collapse.
It is a pity that even though "Birds Of Prey" recognized this kind of problem, it still hasn't been solved well. In a limited time, not only did it not explain clearly the background, growth, and confusion of each character, even the most basic person settings, character None stand up at all.
In the absence of a preparatory work, how to balance the team members, in fact, "Guardians of the Galaxy" already has a better solution, that is, to allow the necessary interaction between the characters, or emotional entanglement, so the focus is clear and easy to handle. Grab the audience's attention.
On the other hand, there is almost no communication and connection between the five main characters. The overall look is very loose. Due to the lack of emotional precipitation, the audience still cannot understand the reason why the team came together.
On the contrary, the The Joker girl has the innate advantage of the previous work, and the character is more three-dimensional. Her kind of madness and uncontrollability, acting hysterically, through Margot Robbie's interpretation, the three-pointed, flesh and blood, impressive.
At the same time, the film gives this character a human side, which is reflected in her attitude towards Batwoman and the tears she shed after being deceived by her friends. Under the seemingly crazy appearance, she hides her simple but insecure soul. Unfortunately, there are too few places in the movie that strike directly into the heart, and often the emotions are interrupted by various fast-paced moments before they are in place.
03. Simple and Wanton
Like the new version of "Charlie's Angels", the film's main characters are all women, even the director. Although it is a feminist slogan and a large number of men are arranged as villains, it is clear that this film does not make good use of this.
In recent years, films that emphasize feminism have emerged endlessly, but they have often failed to grasp the core of this spirit and have become "pseudofeminine." In fact, it is not feminism to hit a few male baddies. The true feminist spirit must first respect itself, and secondly respect its opponents and the world.
The so-called equality, you must put yourself on one end of the scale, only after you find the fulcrum of balance, can you really understand the meaning of these two words.
However, in stark contrast to the lack of film themes, the film has a lot of things that make people look good on the sensory level.
Whether it's comic-style blood, or game-like characters appearing and fighting, combined with heavy metal soundtracks and bloody violent scenes, the hormones instantly soar.
A large number of rewinds and flashbacks add a lot of fun and laughter to the viewing process. The strong visual image style makes everything seem so simple but wanton.
The movie is all overdone, all crazy, whether you like it or not, but you have to admit that it is like a flame, burning itself to the fullest, and squandering passion unbridled.
This result makes the film present two completely different viewing experiences. On the one hand, it lacks storytelling, and there is no character modeling, and the content is empty. memorable.
This kind of controversy prevents Birds Of Prey from being defined by simple success or failure. Perhaps, it is the madman who does not live, that is what he really wants to bring to the audience.
