Birds of Prey: Feminism done right

While the world is at a standstill due to the Novel CoronaVirus, I finally got time to return to watching movies and series. The first movie I saw? Birds of Prey and how I regret missing out on this in the cinemas.
The movie is great! It is a self-aware, fourth-wall-breaking joy ride. It paints a new picture of Gotham city from the perspective of Harley Quinn and I love this vibrant new Gotham!
The movie kicks off with our protagonist Harley, who has recently broken up with the Joker.
She is trying to get by all alone and prove herself to the world.
The plot of the movie revolves around Bertinelli's fortune, the key to which is in a diamond. Roman Stonis aka The Black Mask is behind the killing of the Bertinelli's’ and now wants their fortune. He hires Harley to recover the diamond and viola! We have ourselves a popcorn crunching, the edge of your seat, jaw-dropping female-led action movie!
All the characters were spot on, be it Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn or my second favourite Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Helen Bertinelli.
They hit so many right spots. The story is simple yet gripping. The action scene in the trippy looking Gotham city is fabulous. You will get to see women in proper fights and kicking ass!
The characters are well built up and are all given proper motives to develop hatred for Roman. We see Harley giving each character a proper introduction when they are introduced, for a nut job that Harley is she can truly narrate a story in a mesmerizing way.
Long story short, I loved Birds of Prey and would recommend this for a watch. I mean you are practically sitting at home. What is the harm in checking this out?

Flagships no longer required?

The last time I used a flagship phone, was way back in 2013 and it was the Galaxy S4. The Exynos variant to be exact, back in 2013 Exynos was not cool. It was miles behind its Snapdragon counterpart and it was visible. My experience with the S4 was horrible. So horrible, that in fact, I haven't had the courage to purchase another Flagship since then on. After that, I switched boat and jumped to the WindowsPhone clad. My first taste of WindowsPhone was from a Lumia 520. The cheapest WindowsPhone! But, the performance at times was better than my less than a year old flagship Galaxy. WindowsPhone was fluid even on extreme budget hardware. Later on, I upgraded to a Lumia 730, which to date I adore. It is for me the best phone ever! The only place where it lacked would be the storage. Then I jumped shipped again to Android and am now using a Redmi 4x. So the point behind me going through my phone purchasing history is to show, that you do not need to break the bank or sel...
