Re: Sucker Punch
I guess i'll continue my discussion here as well, it is the more appropriate forum for it.
It is an interesting theory SoulInertia. It certainly explains why the narrations in the beginning of the movie were done by Sweet Pea. When the two first see each other they seemed to connect in some level.
When sweet pea is in the lobotomy chair though, she was asking and ranting about how in the world could a lobotomy be sexy? It does beg the question though as to why she was dressed so similarly. I guess there is always the cop out that it's Babydolls head but maybe there is something more?
I like your idea at the end of the bus scene though, with the wise man and all. It does make some sense that baby doll's enlightenment includes sweet peas escape and returning home.
Also, are we sure that Babydoll killed her sister? I thought that she just aimed high and missed, thus shooting the light bulb; and that she was just too late to help her. They only showed that one shot. I always figured that the step dad framed baby doll for her sisters death.
The only problem I have with these theories about Rocket, Amber, and Blondie being alters or not existing is that after the lobotomy; like you said Soul, Madam Gorski goes on to tell her how much of a handful baby doll was. Going on to say that during her stay, they've lost three girls and helped one escape. Granted it's never stated who, just an assumption that it was Rocket Amber and Blondie.
Now I'm of the opinion that the events of the Brothel coincide with whatever events happened in the Asylum; and the fantasies are entirely in Babydoll's imagination separate from the other girls knowledge. Now I firmly believe that Blue did indeed kill Amber and Blondie because he found out the plan to escape.
But the whole end scene of sweet pea and the wiseman is a fantastic theory that it's in Babydolls head. Question is whether Sweet Pea was real or not, Interesting.
