Babydoll


A sailor suit and a katana, subtlety, thy name is Snyder
Recently, I went to see the movie Sucker Punch with my friends. I did not have particularly high hopes for it, and had my best friend not been planning to go with his fit mate, I would not have tagged along.

 I started watching with the assumption that the movie was about a young woman who had been sectioned against her will who was trying to escape. This belief was further cemented by the opening montage of her life before the asylum.

 Before I go into any more detail here, I am going to make one thing clear; I like Babydoll. I think she’s determined, clever and caring. Well, up to a point, and this is where the problem lies.
