Harley quinn birds of prey parent review11/22/2023 Sionis could have still been a frightening, mercurial villain. The raunchy humor and gore are what define that movie and character.īirds of Prey, on the other hand, could have easily made a few changes to get a PG-13 rating and would have been every bit as good. It’s just so constantly over the top and dirty and ridiculously violent. Deadpool is another R-rated movie that makes sense. It’s quite clearly not for young audiences. Joker was a movie that earned its R rating. None of this is necessary to make this an interesting or compelling film. There’s one scene of thwarted sexual assault and one very shocking moment with the bad guy, Roman Sionis (Ewan McGregor) and a woman at his club that I would definitely not want my kids seeing. Suicide Squad was PG-13 and Birds of Prey, while not exactly a sequel, should have stuck with PG-13 as well. There’s simply no reason for Birds of Prey to be an R-rated picture. This was a huge mistake on Warner Bros’ part. That means that parents who might consider the language a dealbreaker for tweens may have a big decision to make, because Swift has much to offer as a role model.Mostly, however, I think it’s because the film is R-rated and so families aren’t going and parents are waiting to see it either later in theaters or at home. Though these mature themes are also relatable for younger audiences, there’s a fair bit of swearing (including “s-,” “f-,” “b-” and “a-”). The movie is filled with big messages that matter to girls and teens about self worth, body image, coping with adversity, political engagement and hard work. There’s lots of footage of Swift’s approach to songwriting, and it’s clear how intensely personal her songs are. She shares her ideas, her “moral code,” her changing self image and memories of the difficult times in which she had to call upon strength and insightfulness to make it through. It’s not a concert film - only a few songs are filmed in their entirety - but rather an intimate look at Swift’s journey as she wants it told. “ Taylor Swift: Miss Americana” is a documentary about the singer’s evolution from a musically gifted child to illustrious superstar. Themes include female empowerment, friendship and teamwork. All the movie’s men, on the other hand, are either bad or disappointing. Overall, the female characters are diverse in ethnicity, age and sexual identity, and are all shown to be clever, tough and resilient. While main character Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) doesn’t quite make it to antihero status - she’s self-absorbed and makes many self-serving decisions - Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell) and Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) consistently put others’ needs ahead of their own. Characters swear often, using words such as “f-,” “s-,” “a-” and more. One character smokes, and it’s implied in one scene that a character gets a sniff of cocaine, giving her a boost of confidence. Frequent drinking includes comically downing shots and drinking margaritas to celebrate sisterhood. The main villain cuts his victims’ faces off while they’re still alive, and people (including a family with children) are gunned down, with blood splatter. That said, violence is nonstop: Sometimes it’s silly fantasy, but many other times it’s graphically brutal. Rape overtones are consistent, but the women aren’t harmed sexually. “ Birds of Prey (And the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn)” is a violent action fantasy based on DC Comics’ infamous supervillain “girl gang.” It takes place after the events of 2016’s “ Suicide Squad” and seems to be aiming to be the female version of “ Deadpool.” The movie’s theme is about women standing up to their male oppressors and showing that, when they work together, they’re unbeatable.
