Harley Quinn - Birds of Prey

Quinn the harlequin is a profesional psychiatrist who knows how to swing a bat and kick some ass, starting from the ground level up to the face, using some sick wrestling moves and sickle type executions to the legs. 


                                           The harlequin

The role of an harlequin is to serve, to be a lighthearted and astute servant, often acting to thwart the plans of his master - in this movie the Joker and later on the Black Mask. The harlequin is the prototype of the romantic hero which has a lot of physical agility, and a considerabele amount of intelligence. This agility plus the brutal yet funny executions of Harley Quinn are salted with witty and educational excerpts from books about psychology. The action is catharhic and fresh, the actress Margot Robbie playing this 16 century character is genius.  

There are a lot of impressing things, like the friendship of Quinn with a hyena, her friendship with a little girl who swallowed a diamond, with the rest of the female warriors, caring about small things like a well made sandwich and the people in her neighbourgood. The character has every trait of a true hero: agility, muscle power, wit, heart and soul, style and character, not afraid to speak her mind and to pursue her own dreams, madness and compassion.
                                  The style of the harlequin

The movie Birds of Prey reminded me of the medieval times when you had to be very wise not to upset the king, and also very courageous to speak your mind. Many times art and acting was a way to tell the truth in a way that wouldn't get you killed. And this meant that the harlequin would always remain a servant to the power. Sure, there were the traveling actors who would rebel against their king, while travelling to a distant land. But in the same city or state? No. And this meant a lot of pent up anger. Anger that sometimes wants to be expressed through the swing of a bat. To be powerfull, in control of your emotions. To achieve what psychiatry recommends! And this is what Harley Quinn did, the movie. It was vindicative and redemptive. 
                              Redemption through creativity

The beginning of the movie is similar to Rollerball, brutal and deadly. And that movie was realistic and shows the consequences of sponsored violence. Harley Quinn, well, don't take anything from the movie as a good example. It is not cool to be a vigilante, to solve problems with force and guns, to act like a military battalion and so on. This movie, like most of the mainstream american movies are filled with propaganda.Be emancipated, be you and think with your own head what is best for you.
