Review of the film "Bird Birds". Deadpool and Bridget Jones in one bottle

TO "Suicide detachment" It can be treated differently, but no one seemed to argue with one: Margot Robbie perfectly embodied the image of Harley Quinn on the screen. The criminal Queen Gotham in her performance conquered the hearts of even those spectators who quarreled the film to fluff.

Many were waiting for Antiheroini fellow, and the fact that in the end he nevertheless reached the screens is mainly the merit of Margot Robbie herself. She pushed the idea of ​​the picture Warner Bros. , She acted as a producer, she, of course, returned to the role of an ablunt clowness. The directing was entrusted to Katie Yan: for his debut, drama "Dead pigs" , In 2018, she took away the jury special prize from the Sandance festival. The screenwriter was attracted by Christina Hodson, who wrote an excellent story for "Bumblebee". Castle could not boast of the stars of the first magnitude, but Mary Elizabeth Winstad and Yuen McGregor looked promising in trailers.

Well, fans of Harley Quinn will hardly remain disappointed, because we received one of the best films of the cinematic DC: periocuous, stylish, moderately bloody and crazy drop – to match Harley herself.

Joker toxic relationships with his work came to a logical end – Harley put it in the cold. In addition to a broken heart and mental torment, this entails another problem: a halo of immunity, which enveloped Quinn in the status of "Joker Girls", disappeared. It suddenly turns out that the heroine gained an army of enemies, who had previously kept only one thing from revenge-fear of a killer clown.

One of the ill-wishers is Roman Zionis, an eccentric mafia boss and the owner of the club, where Harley loved to throw a couple of her branded tricks (for example, break his legs). In order not to be killed, the girl concludes a deal: in exchange for her skin, she will take out the famous diamond for the gangster. However, not only she hunts for a stone. In search of shiny, Harley will make not only new enemies, but also new friends.

In fact, briefly describe the strain "Predatory birds" It is difficult for one simple reason: there are five heroines here, and each Christina Khodson was worried about prescribing a storyline. Simple, without delights, but quite an independent history. And for the time being, all the characters act within the framework of their small plot, crossing only a glimpse.

With this complication, turning the script into a bunch of incoherent episodes was easier, but from the situation they came out with brilliance – Harley herself acts as a storyteller. She returns the viewer in time a couple of days ago to clarify who all these people are on the screen, what moves them, and then again leads the story forward, generously sprinkling it with sarcastic remarks and breaking through the fourth wall. The film actively jumps from the character to the character and to the middle constantly dips the viewer in flashbacks, but does not crumble.

This not only creates dynamics and a voluminous picture, where you can look at what is happening from different angles, but also personalizes each hero. Black Canary, Hunter, Honest Cop of Rene Montoya, the young thief of Kassandra Kane – all of them are easily remembered and falling in love with themselves. Actresses also laid out one hundred percent. If the same “suicide squad” crackled at the seams from the number of characters, of which half was normally revealed at best, in the “birds of prey” the viewer understands and sympathizes with everyone. Even a villain, very non -standard for the film comic.

In fairness, neither the novel of Zionis, nor his minions worked hard to prescribe as it should: these are quite template villains with very conditional motivation. The image of the black mask is drawn by the brilliant game of Yuen McGregor, who managed to make a criminal boss at the same time charismatic, mannerly and charmingly miserable.

And it runs a ball, of course, Harley Quinn herself. The anti-heroine is not so easy to imagine attractive and touching, but Margot Robbie again succeeded. Her Harley suffers due to a break with her beloved, shows the grief with sweet and floods with alcohol … After which it goes to break the enemies of the limbs and shoot them with sparkles of grenade launcher. And in breaks, the cinema stems in the best traditions of Deadpool, feeds a handle of handle, and laid out the last money for a delicious sandwich. From the bold doll that we saw in the “detachment”, Harley turned into a real person, lively and voluminous, attractive even despite the fact that sometimes she behaves frankly in a very very. At the same time, the film does not at all detract from either its sexuality or the attractiveness of the rest of the "bird".

Naturally, there is something. In the second half, when all the plot lines finally converge at one point, the action suddenly breaks from a place in the quarry and seems a little fussy. Whether the crossing was influenced, or the installation lifted, but a small piano rolled closer to the end of the bushes. It seems like even prepared the soil for it and outlined the rails, but it does not look very convincing. They try to tie the ribbon to the “Suicide squad”, but it would be better to introduce it to the independent spin-off, a kind of alternative development of events. The connection of the two paintings sewed with white threads, the gap of the Joker and Harley left behind the scenes, and perceive this story by the continuation of what he showed in his picture David Air , It doesn't work out. Fights are peppy, spectacular, beautiful, but in some places unnatural: enemies are approaching Harley exclusively one by one, embarrassed to lean together, and crush politely while the heroine understands their comrades.

In addition, a slightly one -sided representation of "strong women" hurts a little. No, there will be no feminism in the teeth of feminism: no female superiority with the stone face of Captain Marvel or poster poses, as in "Avengers". But if you think about it, there is not a single positive male character in the film: they are all or scum – to a greater or lesser extent – or cretins. On the confrontation of the floors they do not fix attention, but in fact it is. And, unfortunately, this will surely give someone a reason to shout again that feminism is about the dominance of women, and Fitzdares Casino not about equality, which would be (and it was easy to avoid).

"Bird Birds" is a film that will work if you mix "Diary of Bridget Jones" With "John Wick" And "Deadpool". Eternal as the world The story of an abandoned girl who begins a new life is only seasoned with a bloody glamor, where the knocked out teeth are adjacent to the flushing sparkles, a dashing action and light mock over the stamps of the genre.

In addition, the film has a style. Time races, drawn inserts, sparkles, fights, Harley comments – all this creates a characteristic and slightly crazy atmosphere, from which Tarantino or in places or in decreasing Richie. And although the wow effect from the picture is not worth waiting, it is very high-quality work and excellent entertainment for a couple of hours.
