Sucker Punch

Pros So fucking good and cunty Incredible soundtrack bjork likeeeee Amazing costumes and makeup Beautiful women and incredible cast The camerawork was amazinggg I was gagged Ik this bitches was going crazy with this on tumblr in 2013 The colour grading insanee 🤌 Emily browning is literally the most beautiful woman in the entire world I’m not just saying that she genuinely is no one comes close I loveddd the video game elements and all the moments when she descended into her fantasy worlds with her cunty ass kill bill sword 🗡️ Cons Unfortunately I really hated the whole prostitution element of it, made me feel rly uncomfortable & I find it so hard to watch any films that involve any sexual violence or exploitation towards women and in this film especially it felt extremely unnecessary. I don’t know why they had to turn it into a brothel club and why they couldn’t of just kept it set in an asylum I think that could’ve been better tbh In addition the whole film did feel very male gaze, not rly at first but as they brought in the prostitution elements I was like helllll no. Feels very similar to kill bill in a way that I couldn’t really tell if it was slightly feminist or not as they both have crazy misogynistic vibes and directed by questionable men however I would say this film definitely has less feminist elements than kill bill as the sexual exploitation was a much larger theme and babydoll doesn’t exactly achiever the greatest ending. I mean at least it was very bechdel test passing tho and the costumes were fab Look this film is cunt and great for many reasons but the acting and writing is not😭😭😭 the writing is so ahhhh and cringe. I’m sorry I wanted to love this film SO MUCH but I just can’t get over that shitty acting and writing. I loved the cast tho but tbf how r u supposed to act well when the writing is that bad Was slightly repetitive at times but I loved the fantasy fighting scenes so whatever maybe they just could’ve added slightlyyyy more of a storyline to it idk The things that happen when u try to mix kill bill x series of unfortunate events x girl interrupted x moulin rouge x Scott pilgrim vs the world together
