------ Dreams and fantasies

Some people say that dreams are made up of fragments of consciousness produced when you are awake. These discrete and isolated elements will be combined by the brain, and organized through rich imagination to make you feel coherent, even A great drama with ups and downs.
Others say that when the pain reaches its peak, the brain goes into a state of self-preservation, through hallucinations, or fainting.

If your experience is as tragic and gloomy as the protagonist, would you also imagine the cold and gloomy mental hospital as a romantic troupe, and imagine the people around you as different characters in the theater? Do you fantasize about your random vents and conflicts with managers as organized struggles for freedom and justice?

The dream world has a huge world view. The dream world operates under the laws of exaggerated fantasy but reasonable. It can describe the historical records and cultural backgrounds, and can challenge the limit of human understanding. In contrast, the world in which we live is too bland and uninteresting. What I want is magic, the force, the sky where Pandora can see the giant planet, or the thrilling siege battle of the Helm's Deep Human Elves Alliance when facing the attack of the strong orcs.

Even if the gray-white and dark hospital has become a theater with rich and bright colors like oil paintings, the patients with empty and desolate eyes have become brave and united allies in resistance, and the selfish and corrupt managers have become insidious and shrewd theater operators on the opposite side of the conflict. Such a fantasy world is still not exciting enough.
Therefore, under the guidance of the gentle and kind old man, every conflict began to be replaced by more exciting and bold fantasies. The tears in the eyes of "serious people" were not a joke, and a good show was staged.

Appeared in a snowy Japanese garden. Student outfit, holding a tachi, M1911 pistol (?...) QTE operation like a fierce battle against evil samurai warriors, the god of war Kratos is no more than the same.
Afterwards, in the air-defense balloons, the Red Baron tri-wing fighters flew horizontally (in the end 1 and 2? I was relieved to see the beautiful girls with a fully automatic rifle...) and won important maps in the British-German battlefield. During the period The bipedal mecha chaotically touched the high point. In addition, they slaughtered dragons bravely in medieval castles, and fought mechanical puppets like bullet time on the high-speed rail (mistakenly) leading to the future city. . . The otaku's grandest dream is nothing but that.

Perhaps only by truly becoming a patient and a victim can the fantasy last. From the moment the leukotomy was completed, she was forever in her fantasy world, and the doctor began to suspect something because of her abnormal behavior. The bus driver who was the prototype of a gentle and kind old man also finally helped her patients who pinned their hopes on freedom.

Some people say that dreams are a kind of compensation for unsatisfactory life. When enjoying a dream, there is always worry about waking up, and the experiences and achievements in the virtual world are always a hundred times more wonderful than the insignificant existence in this bland world.

But this world really has no magic, no miracles, no one to save you.

Sucker Punch quotes

  • Sweet Pea: And finally this question, the mystery of whose story it will be. Of who draws the curtain. Who is it that chooses our steps in the dance? Who drives us mad? Lashes us with whips and crowns us with victory when we survive the impossible? Who is it, that does all of these things?

    Sweet Pea: Who honors those we love for the very life we live? Who sends monsters to kill us, and at the same time sings that we will never die? Who teaches us what's real and how to laugh at lies? Who decides why we live and what we'll die to defend? Who chains us? And who holds the key that can set us free... It's you. You have all the weapons you need. Now fight!

  • Sweet Pea: [From trailer] There are armed guards everywhere! And if Blue finds out, we're dead!

    Rocket: We're already dead.
