The eighth movie in the DC Extended Universe is called Birds of Prey, and it comes after the box office hit Joker. The film was directed by Cathy Yan, a woman, which added to its overall “fabulous” quality and prevented the male gaze from appearing. Remember the evil doll from Suicide Squad? She wore skimpy costumes that weren’t appropriate for taking on enemies? The Birds of Prey director made sure that every costume was realistic rather than impractical.
Margot Robbie portrayed Harley Quinn in the film. The remaining cast members are Rosie Perez as Renee Montoya, Ella Jay Basco as Cassandra, Jurnee Smollett as Black Canary, and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Huntress. Due to the pandemic, the movie didn’t do well when it originally debuted on January 25, 2020, but since it was released on Netflix, it has gained popularity and recognition.
The plot centers on Harley Quinn, who becomes a target after splitting from the Joker, until she joins an all-female superhero team to take on a criminal boss. The former psychiatrist is insane and has broken a man’s limb or kept a hyena as a pet, among other unthinkable acts.
One ideal way to honor women everywhere who have worked to succeed in the male-dominated field is to watch movies featuring strong female leads. When making a list of movies to watch, many come to mind. Fortunately, Birds of Prey has just been added to Netflix’s collection of movies. The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted the Philippine film industry, which in turn affected the release of new films in 2020. Thankfully, Harley Quinn and her group of female friends have returned to share their thrilling and defiant tales.
