Zack Snyder's SUCKER PUNCH

[Voorhees27]

Punch Suckers

My interpretation of the movie is that

Spoiler

Amber, Rocket and Blondie aren't real, they are imaginary characters in the 2nd reality just like the old man was an imaginary character in the 3rd reality. Because there is no way that Blue in the 1st reality can just kill patients, he had to go through all that trouble just to get a lobotomy through, if he could just get away with killing patients he wouldn't have to do that, he could have just killer her to shut her up.

In fact, I'm leaning toward Babydoll of the 2nd reality isn't really real either, that she and Sweetpea are actually the same person. She's the guardian angel that is there to give Sweet Pea the courage to escape, and her back story may in fact be a younger version of Sweet Pea. They both have a younger sister than they are determined to protect, and the bedroom on the stage that you first see Sweet Pea in therapy looks awfully like Babyboll's bedroom in the beginning of the movie.

I thought the first comment was a joke too


but when you post dumb ____ like this I can't help but think you are trying to make it personal. If you wish to continue we can always take it up with a mod.

You rang? I am a Mod.

Dude, you need to lighten up. I've been bustin' your balls about that for a while. Do you not joke with your friends?

Issy's the "Man"

That's fine I can take it up with the admin then.

I don't need to lighten up, nor will I tolerate people talking to me like that. It's already gotten old as it was.

In the same way he tried to make you think about all the nonsensical philosophical bull____ that came out of the "mentor's" mouth all through the movie Meaningless dialogue attempting the give the movie some depth

The first time his cliche took me out of the film, but he had one for every adventure that had little relation to the task at hand, so obviously I missed either the depth or the parody intended by the cliches he was quoting.

When you put out a movie that has multiple fantasy worlds in the head of a girl at a mental hospital, you are asking for it to be analyzed to death. You don't make movies like this, if you don't want them analyzed. If this were just a straight up fantasy movie where these girls were some team carrying out a mission, people would probably accept that and just enjoy it because it looks pretty. When you add those extra layers, people are always going to try to dissect what everything means.

Yep - it's the ultimate in fooling yourself if you think Snyder didn't want the movie to operate on multiple levels. And that's where I have the problem - the straight up "prison break" I got - but the multiple character/multiple levels didn't really track.

My interpretation of the movie is that

In fact the first time we see Sweetpea she is "playing" Babydoll on stage about to be lobotomized and she strips off the wig. If we're not supposed to think they're the same person from that - I don't know what is. And Rocket dying when Babydoll's sister died - partly through something Babydoll did - that also fits with the idea that they are the same.

The only thing with that is...

Spoiler

Didn't they mention that Baby Doll helped another inmate escape as they were running down the list of things she did, right after her lobotomy? I'm referring about the real world part mind you. The part after we (the audience) find out she has been lobotomized

I have to say after watching it again, (don't ask, I was dragged by someone).
It's pretty trashy until about 2 thirds in and then I found some of it quite vulgar. And I'm not prudish in any way. If you are gonna show someones brains blown out, show it, but it was cowardly and trying to keep a light tone so as not to get an R rating but some of the material was too dark to be treated in such a video game "awesome graphics" kinda way? Just my opinion. Also I don't think the FX were all that great throughout. Loved some of the design, loved some of the music, but I found some of it incredibly boring.
The whole dragon thing was just lame, as was some of the WW1 zombie ____. Cheap and dull.
Acting was very patchy. Some ok, some awful. I would call it an interesting disaster of a movie, but a little mean spirited at times.
I love the extreme violence in watchmen, it suited the narrative. This was all a bit juvenile.

My explanation is that

Spoiler

the Babydoll in the brothel reality merely borrowed the appearance of that patient, but isn't that patient at all. For all we know that patient might actually be crazy. And Sweet Pea did work with her to escape. But she was actually too crazy to leave, she may have actually caused a ruckus immediately after they got out of there facility and got recaptured. Sweet Pea is the only one who can survive out there because she wasn't crazy.

 

[CelticPredator]

Uh....no. It's more impactful NOT to show it if you want that scene to have meaning. It would fail if they shot it with ultra violence.

The whole reason why Snyder gave it a PG-13, was there was no nudity. He felt he would've annoyed people if it was R, and there was no tits.

Who the hell cares about all this psychobabble? Here's your plot:

IT'S HOT CHICKS BLOWING ____ UP!

Shhh! don't spoil it for everyone!

 

[CelticPredator]

Changed my user title....

 

[BadMoon]

Judging from the reactions it seems "Sucker Punch" is this year's "The Last Airbender?" I haven't seen either, just going by trailers and audience response. Still looking forward to catching it on TNT in a couple of years just for the visuals alone.

More like this years avatar.

 

[CelticPredator]

Really? ____...Avatar was kinda better then this. I mean, the plot, while unoriginal and boring....made more sense.

Although, I do know this movie will never be overrated... because only like 6 people like it.

I have not seen it yet. Just think it's funny that a mod or Khev can post hate for a movie and not have it deleted. But if anyone so much as says avatar sucks he will delete the post because it doesnt suit his opinion.

I can't wait to see this movie either way. Just playing with a mod that IMO isnt so good at his job.

 

[CelticPredator]

^ agreed. Although I dont know what you're referring too....but I know what you mean. I got banned because I said Resident Evil Afterthought might suck.

I was right.

I was really angry with the whole thing once it was over, and I asked my friend if I had had a stroke somewhere along the line because it made no sense. Now you have me thinking I did miss something, but not because I had a stroke. I need to see it again.

What do you mean?

Snyder didn't give it a PG-13, Warner insisted on it. He shot it R, An R version will be released on BD & HV..allegedly. There is a lot of material which was removed including the musical numbers seen in the closing credits. Expect at least 3 WHV releases! Special edition, Harder edition, and full t.i.t.t.y edition! We can hope!

I'm looking forward to the BR release as I dug the theatrical I think this movie can only get even better on BR.
