Sucker Punch - the reaction take!
Sucker punch. No plot. Three plots. Same time. Realllllly obvious movie tricks/foreshadowing etc. 13 year old boy's wet dream. Hot women hurting, sex slaves, and in Japanese-style anime fighting. Little clothes. Of the five girls we get to watch 4 of them die. There is of course a near-rape scene. Women have ZERO agency. Zero. A magic old white man tells them how to escape from evil prison/women's mental illness ward/brothel (the equality is supposed to be Deep). Once they do, at the very end, magic old white man comes back and saves the escaping girl from the police (still NO AGENCY). Also, did I say yet - NO PLOT. Just three distinct dream sequences interrelated by Meaningful Objects with Meaningful Camera Work. There is a hot intense girl-relationship (femslash like whoa....moar manjism) .... but they are sisters (moar forbidden manjism pr0n). Also the dykier of the two dies (trope much?). At the end of film the central character dies in total triteness to save her friend - the central character was the "missing piece" Meaningful Object that no one could identify before during the Mystical Quest. Written by 13 year old, fake twists and all. Fucking *horrible* gouge my eyes out. **Nothing** redeeming...
