Most people will be confused by the gorgeous appearance of this movie, beautiful girls, black silk, fishnet socks, smoke, zombies, online games, super sensory stimulation, the gospel of otaku. If it weren't for the subtle lines, I really had the urge to leave the first paragraph. However, after watching it later, I gradually realized the wonderfulness of this film.
This film is basically flying over the lunatic asylum + Inception. The idea of the former, the structure of the latter. As far as the spiritual content of the film is concerned, director Zach Snyder is paying tribute to Milos Foreman. Not only the ideas expressed are the same, but the process arrangement of the story, especially the unexpected ending, is almost the same. Anyone who has seen these two films should feel the same way. The structure of the film draws on the form of Inception, which is divided into three layers: the first layer is a realistic mental hospital; the second layer is a club; the third layer is the fantasy world of Little Loli. The difference with Inception is that these three layers are just layer-by-layer mappings of expression techniques. The second-level club is actually a theater in a mental hospital. All that happens is mapping how several female patients in the mental hospital form an alliance and then implement an escape plan. The third layer is better to understand. The strong stimulation of the illusion represents the strong stimulation brought by the dancing skills of Little Loli. The soundtrack is so powerful! Only after understanding these, can you understand the film, and then you can admire the director for wrapping a Hong Guoguo's freedom-seeking soul with such a secular and gorgeous appearance, and adopting this very rare story structure.
In addition, the film has shown a good color and visual experience from the beginning, which is probably related to the director's experience in learning painting. The stunt performance is very powerful, and the film music is even more powerful! Therefore, combined with the above-mentioned wonderful ideas and profound thinking, it is really a very good movie. If you don't understand the above, just staying on the sensory stimulation will produce absurd and far-fetched feeling, thinking that it is a flickering box office film that relies on beauties, breasts, stunts, and messy fighting scenes to support the scene.
Of course, I believe that most people feel this way, and the director also feels this way, so the title of the film is called sucker punch, which means a punch to people who don't have the ability to make independent judgments. For example, the person who translated the title did not watch it. I understand, maybe I didn't read it at all, so I chose a vulgar name like the Beautiful Girl Secret Service to attract attention. And this kind of person is none other than the lunatic in the film and the audience outside the film. For example, the profound sadness shown in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", the people watching the movie are actually the patients in the madhouse. They don't know what freedom is and what they are about themselves, so just follow the flow.
The lines of this film are also really wonderful, and often have a sense of deafening. The grasp of fate and the thirst for freedom are like philosophical maxims.
When I watched "Flying Over the Cuckoo's Nest", I felt a deep sadness and a sense of helplessness about how freedom became a tragedy. Probably because of the relationship of time, my thoughts changed. When I watched this film, although the background of the story was the same, the process was the same. The same, the ending is the same, but in the end there is still a hint of hope. After all, there is still one person who escaped, whether it is the protagonist or the supporting role, but at least someone escaped. Maybe this is the mission of all those who strive for freedom, not for themselves, for others, so that more people can finally enjoy freedom, for the sake of righteousness, even if they have to give up their lives, this is you and me, each of them for freedom The mission of the people who fight!
For freedom, fight!
