General American values in the movie Birds of Prey
Knowing the values, norms, and beliefs of America from the film Bird of Preys but before knowing what value we get in the film, here is a synopsis of the film Bird of Preys.
The film Birds of Prey tells the story of Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) who recently broke up with the Joker. He wanted to move on and end all dependence on the Joker. Everything was triggered by people around who looked down on him, unable to live without the Joker.
Harley also tried to move on and raise a hyena and named him Bruce. However, the news of her breaking up with the Joker backfired on her. Old enemies and ranks of people the Joker had hurt and started targeting him.
Roman Sionis / Black Mask (Ewan McGregor), the club owner hears the news of Harley's break up with the Joker. Harley initially asks Roman for help to protect her from her old enemies. Unfortunately, Roman wants Harley to die.
Not running out of wits, Harley also volunteered to work with Roman. Just when Roman is having trouble finding an important diamond with two of his men Victor Zsasz (Chris Messina) and Black Canary (Jurnee Smollett-Bell).
The diamond turns out to be in Cassandra Cain (Ella Jay Basco), a girl who likes to pickpockets. Everyone is looking for Cassandra, starting from detective Renee Montoya (Rosie Perez) who is investigating Roman's case, then there is Huntress (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) who is thirsty for revenge on Roman's subordinate, Victor Zsasz.
Harley also manages to find Cassandra, but is hesitant to hand it over to Roman. He also assembled a team of detectives Montoya, Huntress, and Black Canary who actually hated Roman.
Cathy Yan's film also conveys an important message for women. The female characters in this film are treated unfairly and are belittled. The belittled Harley Quinn, the disrespected Detective Montoya in her office, Black Canary who is restrained by her boss, and Huntress who seeks justice for past wounds.
From this film we can see some values, among others:
1. Equivalence, where Harley speaks using the first name to a shop owner who is older than him.
2. volunteer.
in this film where a former police officer continues to carry out his mission of catching a criminal even though it's not his job anymore.
3. Progress
where harley is good at fighting because of his girlfriend but after breaking up he still works hard and is motivated to show that he can be like before without his ex-girlfriend.
4. Mobility
When Harley's mission was completed, Harley left the region so as not to be caught by the police, here we know that Americans always have good mobility to move to several regions.
