If you don't like the last "Suicide Squad", I dare not say that you will like this one, but what is certain is that this one is very different from the previous one. In addition to the Harley Quinn, the basic Above are two movies with completely different universes. The Suicide Squad is indeed the same principle as the previous one: a group of criminals with special abilities perform tasks for the US government in order to reduce their sentences, but if they do not follow the instructions in the middle, they can be headshot at any time. It's just that this time there are many more weird characters, bold and surreal, the action scene is extremely bloody, and the protagonist may die at any time.
The first impression after watching "The Suicide Squad" is: James Gunn's previous filming of "Guardians of the Galaxy" was really too constricted. "The Suicide Squad" is very bold, almost doing whatever you want, killing whoever you want, letting yourself go. The Russell brothers used to say that sometimes it is necessary for the protagonist to experience some suffering or even sacrifice to arouse the emotions of the audience, increase the tension of the film and achieve emotional sublimation, but sacrificed a protagonist in this way can still be blamed by fans for three years. Most of the characters in "The Suicide Squad" are not familiar to people, so James Gunn can be bold enough to forget.
In this film, some characters died within a few minutes of their debut, and even when they died, the audience did not know their names and their special talents. Some characters were told that they were "killing the wrong person" after they were killed. There were also characters who were clearly following behind but there were few frontal shots. People didn't notice his presence until he died. Less than 15 minutes after the opening, the character is half dead, which fully sets the tone of the film: there is no need to be too serious and serious, nothing is impossible.
With the crazy style tone established at the beginning and the characters' bizarre appearances, people will soon realize that although this is a movie that takes place on the earth, it is no different from an alien film like Yinhu, so you don't have to take it too seriously.
Harley Quinn is still one of the most eye-catching characters in the film, because she has some individual scenes that show her deceptive and crazy nature. Basically, she can still look like a little confusion in the first second, and then kill with a golden hoop in the next second. Yes, this time Halle actually has a new weapon, much like Monkey King's golden cudgel. But the new supporting roles are also very popular. For example, when you are hungry, you can eat King Shark. This character is portrayed a bit like Drax in "Guardians of the Galaxy", looks silly but occasionally human.
The spotted man looks the most peculiar in attire, and his abilities are amazing. He attacks others in a very special way. He actually imagines the other person as his own "mother", bringing a lot of funny scenes to the film. The "Peacemaker" starred by John Cena and Idris Elba's bloodshot have similar abilities. They are both good at using many hidden weapons, and therefore become competitors, always bickering. Compete with each other. But after the whole movie, the audience may not remember what weapons they used. Instead, the scene where Zhao Xina was shown in front of Idris Elba wearing only underwear is the most impressive.
The sea star is naturally the "most conspicuous" character in the film. If it were to appear in the first place, it might be hard for people to believe how such a character would appear on the earth. But after the preparations of various strange events in the past, the audience will find that they will not be surprised to see anything in this film.
It is not ruled out that some people may feel too crazy after watching this film to parry. If you put it on other DC superheroes, this method may not be suitable, but because the various characters in this film are very strange in themselves, this style is in line with expectations. Coupled with the foreshadowing of R-rated superhero works like "The Boys" and "Deadpool", "Suicide Squad X" is not a pioneer, it just pushes the madness and blood to another level.
However, the whole movie can be clearly seen with James Gunn's personal style, rich in colors, occasionally stupid characters, unscrupulous behavior, but each character has a tragic past, which makes people feel sympathetic. I don't really like rats and the Ratcatcher who controls them, but this is also one of James Gunn's evil tastes. He obviously likes animals with anthropomorphic behavior. Such as the raccoon rocket. However, after Yinhu, many people started to raise raccoons because they liked rockets, but raccoons are not suitable for domestication. So this time James Gunn specially created an animal suitable for home captivity: a caring mouse character: Sebastian.
However, it can be seen that Warner is super hoping to change his previous troubles on the road of superheroes, and hope that the audience knows that they can also respect the freedom and creativity of filmmakers, and they can also take risks. And I hope that it is the opposite of Marvel. Marvel has also discovered many directors with distinctive styles, but everything is uniformly regulated and coordinated. This film is completely independent of other DC movies and has a distinctive personal style. Warner's current strategy seems to be to create different branches of the movie. The Goddess series is in the fantasy and epic style, The Suicide Squad is in a mixed style, and the new Batman series that is about to open continues to be dark. It can be seen that Warner did not intervene in the film at all, all according to James Gunn's meaning, and even spent a lot of investment in setting up the scene and propaganda. This is a big bet, and I hope that this will open the way to personalize the director's style.
