About the movie - it summarizes what the movie is talking about. The beginning is like Fairy Tale, and the question at the end is like thinking about survival and human nature. Only the first echo "You have very weapon you need. Now Fight!" is the most realistic inspiration for survival. The movie obviously didn't want to be sold just as a fancy commercial, she wanted to give the audience a little more thought. No matter how successful she is in improving the idea of the film, she at least reminds us that when you feel small and helpless, you actually have endless explosive power. What's more, audiences who like creativity and fighting can easily enjoy the fantasy world shown in the film and feel that it is worth the ticket price.
The film presents a three-layer world, not in a dream, but in a human fantasy (it shows how powerful the human brain is, and the upcoming "Limitless" is also based on the human brain). The first layer is the cruel real world - the heroine, Baby Doll, shot her sister to death when she threatened her abusive stepfather with a gun and was sent to a mental hospital. The dean is a wretched villain who is greedy for money, ready to harm her together with his stepfather. In this world, the heroine is full of grievances but powerless. The second floor is the fantasy world of Sweet Pea, the icy madhouse is imagined as a gorgeous theater, the dean becomes the theater manager, the female doctor becomes the dance teacher, and the oppressed girls become actors, trying to please the boss and the male audience , in order to look forward to a life of grievances and perfection. The third floor is the fantasy world of Baby Doll, which is full of unexpected and peculiar sights and thrilling missions. Although it is dangerous and unusual, it has inspired the girls' strong fighting spirit and fighting power, and staged exciting games. This is the part that the audience attracted by the trailer should be most looking forward to.
Every time they had to get something on the first floor, the girls would dance the Baby Doll on the second floor to get the enemy's attention and then take action. As Baby Doll began to dance, everyone fell into the ultimate fantasy collectively, and began to hunt for treasures and fight monsters for a limited time.
The first "Final Fantasy" took place in a spacious courtyard with oriental colors. There are Chinese curtains fluttering in the house, but the characters are all holding sabres in a row of Japanese postures. I am disappointed~~ The three huge black warriors are wearing armor and hats, which reminds me of Kung Fu Panda. Foreigners have a single impression of "Oriental villains". The first black warrior held Guan Gong's knife and swept the little loli away, which made the audience worried. However, the more frustrated the little loli, the more courageous, the weapon is stronger than the opponent, and she was beaten out of the building and smashed through the building without losing any blood. Take a Chinese knife, a Japanese sword or a machine gun! This kind of mix-and-match rich plot can also be inserted in this film - "Inception" only dares to use relatively normal fighting scenes. The female protagonists of "Kill Bill" all use knives, guns or hand-to-hand combat at a fixed time, but here Baby Doll swings a knife in one hand and holds a gun in the other, and fights melee from time to time, and the coordination is seamless. Since this Surprising Factor, it has been a strong innovation. The second enemy is set to the German army, and the flying fighting robots are awesome, a bit like the robots in Matrix with more jets. Robots falling from the sky at critical moments and grabbing the map while flying are very exciting. I don't like the burnt head of "Officer". The third scene imagines stealing a lighter as killing a fire dragon and extinguishing the Mother Dragon. When I first watched "Alice", I was also wondering how to Slay the Dragon. To say that the most classic fight against Dragon is Shrek, who sent his brothers and kisses directly. But Baby Doll has already opened other people's baby dragon, so it is not so optimistic, so only violence ends all this. The little demon who guards the Dragon Castle looks like it escaped from the Lord of the Rings. He looks so hideous and uncreative, just like the German officer in front of him. The robot in the fourth scene has the legacy of "The Mechanical Enemy"... In short, I am quite satisfied with the action scenes of the film. The unrestrained imagination, exquisite pictures and occasional surprises, at least not like "Jennifer's Body", which makes me feel that the best part is all in the trailer, and the main film is completely discounted with water.
A little doubt - although the film clearly wants to attract the audience's eye rolls rather than brain cells - which is obvious from the exposed battle suits of the actresses to show off their bodies - but since she insists on playing at the beginning and the end Philosopher, we might as well take care of her logic as we did with Inception.
The biggest doubts are focused on Sweet Pea. Although the movie has been shown from Baby Doll's point of view, in the end everyone knows that this is actually Sweet Pea's "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" story. So why is Sweet Pea there? Does she have mental problems? According to the description in the conversation between Rocket and Baby Doll, Sweet Pea came to the insane asylum to take care of Rocket, and she did not have any conflict with her parents at all (there is no reason to be thrown into the insane asylum), so her spirit is normal . But is it such a normal person who imagines a shabby madhouse as a magnificent theater, assigning himself and everyone around him different roles in the theater?
Another doubt is: everyone's fantasy will be biased, how to let five different people imagine a unified scene at the same time, and interact in real time? This is more difficult than playing "game over" in "Agent Kid 3" with everyone wearing glasses. Although "Pirates of Dreams" is nonsense, anyway, people have also made a perfunctory way of putting everyone's arms on the same "dream machine" to perfunctory the audience, and annotated different people having the same dream. But the fantasy sync machine in the "Sucker Punch" era has not yet been invented. How did these five chicks work together? If you take a closer look at the "Mechanical Public Enemy" section, you will find that the "bomb disposal robot" is actually Baby Doll's imagination. While she was twisting and having sex, several other people were actually concentrating on stealing knives, not hacking and killing robots. In other words, that paragraph is actually just the imagination of Baby Doll alone, not the imagination of five people at the same time. In other words, the other four never knew what happened to Baby Doll when he was dancing. They only know how to steal maps, lighters or knives. Then it can be deduced in the same way. The second-level imagination—the imagination that the madhouse is a theater is actually only the imagination of one person, not the imagination of a group of people at the same time? ! That is, this "theater imagination" only exists in Sweet Pea's mind, and the other dancers Rocker, Blondie, Amber, and maybe even Baby Doll, are just Sweet Pea's imagination? This view may seem abrupt at first glance, but it is not without merit. First of all, this can easily explain why these five people can simultaneously fight in the same fantasy space. In addition, there is another important doubt that can be easily resolved. When the group of five finally escaped, there were only two people left. Rocket was stabbed to death by the chef when he blocked a knife for Sweet Pea, and Amber and Blondie were shot to death by the theater owner. So—can the patients of the madhouse really be killed so casually? Although that chef is abusive, he just steals the knife, not to kill him. He finds a knife and takes it back. Is it necessary to stab him again? Well, he may have been overly defensive and insisted on the accidental injury. So "theater owner" Blue can really kill Amber and Blondie in public, or in front of a female psychiatrist/dance coach? When everyone pays attention to the end, the female doctor finds that Blue has forged her signature for Baby After Doll's surgery, she immediately called the police and brought Blue to justice. She would never watch Blue suffer two consecutive lives and remain indifferent. And although Blue is a villain who sees money, at most he only dares to perform brain surgery on patients to make them incapacitated. From the words he threatened Baby Doll's stepfather, it can be seen that he understands the law and has some scruples, so he will never do anything about killing people in public. So Rocket, Amber and Blondie are not really killed, they are just characters imaginary by Sweet Pea, or one of Sweet Pea's multiple personalities. So Sweet Pea actually has a serious schizophrenia problem, and her willingness may be the accidental death of her sister Rocket (see "Roses and Red Lotus" for details). She suffered from schizophrenia because she couldn't stand the serious mental blow Coexisting with her younger sister, her beloved parents had no choice but to send her to a mental hospital. The process of these "sacrifices" is actually the process of Sweet Pea's self-healing (see "Identity"). As for the relationship between Baby Doll and Sweet Pea, whether it is two people or two personalities requires more in-depth thinking and corroboration.
All in all, I have three impressions of this movie: the
pictures and fighting scenes (that is, the third layer of the world mentioned above) are good; the
theme is a bit weird, and the relationship between the plot and the extended meaning is unclear;
after watching it, my favorite is that Duan "You have all the weapons you need. Now Fight!"
