Escape All Reality, Sucker Punch.

Call this a new madness or just a plain new hobby of mine but I think I love this thrilling ride of watching movies whenever I need an escape off my reality. I have finally found a slight hole in my busy schedule for me to escape and watch Sucker Punch after much consideration since its premiere week. I thought, if I continue to hesitate to actually just go and watch the movie, I might not be able to watch it at all. I should just drop everything I am holding on to and just get some two hours off my life and just go watch this movie. The deal is that the movie worth every minute I steal from the twenty four hours off my life.

Sucker Punch is basically an action-fantasy movie—like Alice In Wonderland but minus the insane characters and the bunch of random colors thrown here and there but replaced by girls in sexy outfits and machine guns and all sort of weapons a man could possibly imagine. I am not really good in trying to describe this whole situation, you should just try Wikipedia. I know that usually it would be the males who are practically excited over movies with hot babes and as much guns as they could find in one movie—but I do not know why I am excited for Sucker Punch too. I guess I am weird in all the wrong way—not that I have mutual interest with any of the female casts. I am just a fan of things that are creative and beyond imagination.

Baby Doll—of whom I assume the main protagonist—is send off to an asylum after the death of her mother and the incident that caused the death of her younger sister. In the asylum, she encountered an altered reality just before a lobotomy procedure. Her alternate reality consisted of her as an orphan, sold to a brothel and she is scheduled to be sold to High Rollers in five days. Surely Baby Doll met the dancers of the brothel—Sweet Pea and her sister Rocket, Amber and last but not least Blondie. Although most girl did not actually get along with Baby Doll well, except Rocket, they soon became friends who planned to escape by searching the four things they needed to escape the brothel while Baby Doll mesmerized everyone else with her somewhat passionate dance and entered her third alternate reality—a world where she became a fighter with her fellow friends and fought against all sorts of machinery and creatures.

It basically tells a tale about a girl and her alternate realities, as it has been the only way she could escape the cruel reality that she has to undergo lobotomy and suffers inside an asylum after the death of her family. She met friends who are brave enough to follow her and her escape plan.

Personally I think that the movie is creatively produced. I mean, who would have such imaginations to create a movie like this. The storyline is rather clean and neat although for some who might not think much while watching movie, this could become quite a question. I like how it plays around with our minds, to dig deeper into as much alternate realities a human could posses. I love that it transform a reality into another reality that is sweet and promising that no one would ever want to leave. I don't know what the director thinks when he directs this movie but I like the way the movie flows until the very end. I even like the way it ends, the way it twists our thinking and finally presents us with an ending that is rather almost perfect.

Honestly, I like the character Amber by Jamie Chung and Sweet Pea by Abbie Cornish. It is not that I do not like the character Baby Doll—it is just that I don't like to like the main protagonist that much. I love how Amber has her own sense of insecurity and how Sweet Pea is defined as the toughest and the one who have control over her self. I love the way Sweet Pea made her self strong and brave for her sister, Rocket.


The music featured in this movie is amazing—the song Sweet Dreams (Are Made Of This) performed by Emily Browning is currently my new favorite original soundtrack song off the movie itself. Who knew such cute actress could sing nicely in such song. Throughout watching the whole movie, I am partially interested in most of the songs featured in the movie. The songs used fitted the mood of the movie just nicely and it created a more intense feelings while watching it.

Overall I do think that Sucker Punch is quite a good movie for a fan of any action-fantasy movie. I mean, where else could you get a movie with hot babes running around carrying machine guns, swords and all sort of weapons and kill creatures and machinery. Even my lecturer agrees that this movie is one way of escaping reality for a moment it self. I dare to say, I am listing this movie as one of my favorite action-fantasy movies. You should spend some time off your reality and go watch this movie too, I bet you will like it as much as I do.
