walking into the cinema , i already knew what to expect . you know ( trashy women dressed in trashy clothes ) hahaha !that being said , it excludes emily browning and jenna malone only cause they've acted in movies i till this day love !
well , the movie start with a third person narration about some wacko guardian angel which may make sense in the end of the film . i love the way zack snyder filmed sucker punch ! i mean sucker punch sound ssooooooooooooooo vacant , so empty , so monotonous ! but the way the film was made really spoke to me ! from the angled sephia shots to the almost liquid-like scenes (note : the first 5 minutes of the movie) . paired with such brilliant soundtrack ( sweet dreams by annie lennox ) ! from up- beat indi rock to slow rock , this was a great move that composer marius de vries did . i've looked him up and it turns out that he worked on the composition for moulin rouge and of course , such beautiful melodious tunes we heard there .
moving on to the movie , uuummmhhh ! i don't want to reveal toooo much but it was kind of a simple based plot but they just had to throw in some complication (like twist and turns just to make the movie seem intelectual) hahaha !
the one thing i couldn't accept was this dance thingy where they (as in baby doll and her fellow tontos ) would somehow escape into their own fantasy world (the funny thing is i used to spell fantasy as phantasy ) hhahhaha !
as i was saying , this escapism was a tad to illogical for me , but then again if we can plant an idea in a dream and in another dream (3 levels) , then why not this ???????? you need to watch the movie to get the picture !
there were certain topics that we very interesting ! for instance , lobotomy !
the process of cutting the connections to and from the prefrontal cortex, the anterior part of the frontal lobes of the brain. this diminishes the consciousness or in other words you've been " ZAPPED" hahahha ! i mean you've seen this in movies like shutter island , x men and the forgotten ! it's no new thing but still intrigues me !
acting : although i know this isn't a performance driven movie , i still would like to stress that some roles could have been edited out for the greater good . for instance , blondie (vanessa ann hudgens) ! seriously , the movie would have been far better without her ! i mean her role was soooooooooo insignificant and annoying really ! why is she even called blondie ???? she's not even blonde neither is she a dessert?????? baby doll (emily browning ) was okay , i guess ! i mean she can act , we've seen her in lemony snicket's (i will not say the full title) ! she looks good as a blondie .
rocket(jenna mallone) who we saw in stepmom and pride and prejudice was okay too ! like i said , it's not a performance driven movie ! it's obviously more of the big budget thingy ( or socalled HIGH ROLLLER ) hhahhaa ! i do not wish to talk about the others cause ......
what else ??????? many people might have the perception of this movie being a cliche' chick flick (especially cause vannessa ann hudgensin it ) but really walk into the cinema hall having no expectations whatsoever and you'll come to see that all in all , sucker punch totally beats movies like twilight !
did i mention i love the soundtrack !!!!!
i've uploaded some videos of the songs featured in the movie in my homepage !!!
Hahaha Shanm! :)
