Margot Robbie turns 30 and we celebrate it by reviewing her best films. Which one do you prefer?
Margot Robbie turned 30 today, one of the most important actresses in today's cinema who has managed to get even with that macho name that many coined for her when she made her great media appearance at just 22 years old in "The Wolf of Wall Street" that she was little more than a pretty face. Robbie has earned a professional career that is more than interesting, and that she has one of the most promising futures today, which is why her name always appears linked to the big plans of the studios, as Disney has shown by putting her at the forefront of the future of one of the most lucrative sagas of the mouse company, "Pirates of the Caribbean".
And she will also play other roles such as her return to the suit of Harley Quinn, a film that is not yet known directed by David O. Russell, or Barbie, the mythical female toy in a film that will be directed by Greta Gerwig. A very promising future for one of the best actresses that Hollywood has given in recent years. From Areajugones we review the best films and performances of Margot Robbie to realize that she is one of the most talented actresses in the industry and that she still has a lot of reel.
1. The Wolf of Wall Street (2013)
Martin Scorsese's film was the great entrance to the media front line of Margot Robbie. Here she plays a key character within the film, Jordan Belfort's wife, Naomi Lapaglia. The Countess represents the more stable side of the life of The Wolf of Wall Street". Although at the beginning of the film Naomi represents for Jordan Belfort a new rise in the social scale of his life, and that makes him already do not value his first time more, with the birth of their first child, he evolves into the more serious side of life of Leonardo DiCaprio's character, who is more concerned with trying to exploit his possibilities in the market and his greatest eccentricities than worrying about take a marriage to use, since that ordinary life identifies it as a failure.
That is why the role of Margot Robbie is key in the film and she also does it perfectly, with that physical power that the character required, but at the same time with a great personality that makes her grow on the big screen despite that all the spotlights were on Leonardo DiCaprio. The Australian gave it her all on set, suggesting, for example, breaking into the famous n-d-e bedroom scene because that's what the character asked for even though Scorsese wanted her to do it in a robe. In addition, she also had a difficult time getting the character, because her favorite was Olivia Wilde. In the end, Margot Robbie managed to get the role and left one of the best performances of her career. You can learn more secrets and details of the film through this link.
2. I, Tonya (2017)
Margot Robbie was playing Tonya Harding, one of the most controversial characters in recent years in American popular culture. Harding was raised primarily by her mother, who enrolled her in ice skating classes starting at the age of three. Harding would spend much of her early training dropping out of high school to devote her time to sports. She and she became one of the most important athletes in her country, and that is what is told in this film, how she became one of the bad girls in America. Margot Robbie puts a face to a story of stalking and stalking and an athlete's career to be herself at a time when America wanted to project a very specific image. It's probably the best performance of Margot Robbie's career, a performance that was only outshone at that year's Oscars by the great Frances McDormand and her breakout role in "Three Billboards Outside."
3. Once upon a time in Hollywood
The role of Margot Robbie in "Once upon a time in Hollywood" was perhaps one of the most tricky challenges that the Australian faced. The film, since its promotion, put Margot Robbie as Sharon Tate in the spotlight, suggesting that she was going to be one of the great characters. Tarantino uses her as a secondary character but who in turn is of vital importance in the film. Sharon Tate represents in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood" all that is good about cinema. She is a being of light, innocent and good, who enjoys going to the cinema to see her own films to experience how the general public enjoys her roles. A perfect contrast to the entire parallel story that unfolds in Tarantino's ninth film, the one starring Leonardo DiCaprio (with whom he meets again after "The Wolf of Wall Street").
Rick Dalton is a person who is on the brink of the abyss professionally speaking, and who has to go to Italy to desperately save his career. Quite the opposite of Tate, who, as seen at one of the parties in the film, is the owner of the city and all the 'showbiz' in the industry. So much is this contrast that the fact of hers being her neighbor, hers and Roman Polanski's, her husband, is one of the reasons that leads Rick Dalton to move on. And this is Robbie's great merit in this film, a faithful representation of what history called for, the almost dimmed light of a Hollywood that represents all that is good in the world.

4. Suicide Squad (2016) / Birds of Prey (2020)
After "The Wolf of Wall Street", a Margot Robbie has already settled in the mainstream, joining the group of villains directed by David Ayer that was "Suicide Squad". The film failed to live up to the high expectations that had been placed on it. It was intended to be a real bombshell, bringing together very popular characters within the DC universe such as Joker, who was played by Jared Leto, and the clown's girlfriend, Harley Quinn, who made her live-action debut with Margot Robbie. . Despite the puncture of the film, the character of Robbie experienced an impressive popularity, putting on the street the pigtails of her character, which were seen everywhere thanks to the great cultural impact of her with a performance with a lot of personality.
Such was the success of this character that Warner Bros. gave her a movie for herself, "Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of Harley Quinn", which, although it did not perform very well at the box office, has consecrated the actress as one of the great action protagonists. In fact, conversations have already begun to continue with Harley Quinn in the DC extended universe, where Margot Robbie will return in the "Suicide Squad" reboot that James Gunn is preparing. Without a doubt, the face that is most associated with the actress, one of the characters that has been able to gather the most followers for the cause of DC.
5. Bombshell (2019)
Margot Robbie returns to real events in this film to recount one of the most serious scandals on American television that highlighted the importance of the Mee Too movement in American society. When Gretchen Carlson hit Fox News founder Roger Ailes with a lawsuit alleging s-xu-l harassment, no one could predict what would happen next. Her decision prompts Fox News correspondent Megyn Kelly to come forward with her own story, as well as that of many other women, inciting a movement that reverberates around the world. Another great role for the actress, but she is a bit overshadowed by sharing the stage with two other stars such as Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron.
