Sucker Punch

Sucker Punch is a new movie that came out and it is a very weird and interesting movie. It is one of those movies that it takes you a long time to understand exactly what is happening but after you do understand, everything makes sense. At the beginning of the movie you think that Babydoll (the protagonist acted by Emily Browning) is trapped in a gentlemen’s club and has to escape for freedom. Whenever she is going to dance in the club, she imagines a surreal world in Japan in which there is a war going on and she has to fight with the other girls against different creatures to collect five things. The five things are a map, a fire, a knife, a key and a fifth unrevealed object; these objects are supposed to give them liberty. She plans with her friends a escape and whenever she dances they all go to this imagined world and they fight while her friends are making efforts to obtain the five things. Throughout their journey, three of the five girls are killed in the surreal world and in the gentlemen’s club too. Babydoll and Sweet Pea were the only girls left and although they were sad, they had to co ntinue their fight for liberty. After they have the first four objects Babydoll realizes that she is the last object and that she will have to die for her friend to be free. After she is taken by the guards, the other girl leaves and suddenly there is a change in the environment. Babydoll is not in the club anymore, but she is in a asylum. Other people in the asylum say stories about her that matches up with what happened in the club, but what really happened is that everything that happened in the club was something in her head that matched with something she did in real life. Babydoll in real life had killed her sister accidently and her stepfather put her in an asylum and told the owner of the asylum to give her a lobotomy so that she would forget everything that happened. Babydoll died after this and her friend left and was free. The movie has one of those endings that seems like the movie still didn’t finish, it is up to you to decide what exactly happened in the end.

This movie is really complicated to explain and even to understand when you watch it, I think it was a very good movie and I would recommend it.
