Sucker Punch
Sucker Punch was a very interesting movie; it was something I have never seen before. There are five girls in this movie, which they all team up and try to leave the place that they stuck in. They call it the asylum, but really they just use the girls there for their own business. The girl that plans the escape and gets everyone together is called Babydoll. She is a very innocent girl and sweet, but she is a very though girl and she is very smart. Sweet Pea and Rocket are sisters and Sweet Pea is older and she is always trying to protect Rocket and at first she disagreed with the whole plan because she thought that they will get caught and her sister would get hurt. Sweet Pea was kind of like the big dog in that place until Babydoll came and took over with her sweet attitude and innocent look. Rocket, is very tired of that place and she immediately agreed with the plan and she wants to get out of there as fast as possible. The others do not play as much major roll, except Blondie, which is ironic because she is not blond and I call her little snitch. But they all worked together to get far, but at the end Blondie snitched on them and they got caught. Babydoll did not give up and she set the place on fire and Sweet Pea was the only one that got away and they all died.
In this movie they show women very strong and smart. I do not see any sexism in this movie, but I guess it can be sexism because they use these girls for money and there Is this guy that is the head of the place and he is kind of like a pimp. He gets money by these girls dancing for his place. I guess that can be sexism, but I do not see major sexism in this movie. To me the girls were portrayed as strong and powerful and smart. Except Blondie because she gave up at the end and she told the main guy, this shows women can be strong and also can be weak. It all has to do with the person not the gender. It kind of shows that men are weak mentally at some parts because they show that men do not pay attention to their surroundings when women is teasing them or dancing very seductively in front of them. To me in that movie it showed bad things about men mostly, for example the stepfather that was trying to sleep with her sister and the main guy in that place. To me it showed man as being pigs and being very bad people. But it also showed that a man was the guide of Babydoll, her guide in her mind was a guy. It was kind off interesting because what I got was that they were saying that men are good only in women’s mind or in peoples imagination, like its to good to be true. But it showed man in a bad way and I do not see these things as being sexist. This movie showed women very powerful and strong.
