It literally changed my life, improved it, affected my decision making process on practically everything. It emotionally ripped me apart and then brought everything into focus. I realized who I was as an individual, and a human being. I discovered what I could do for this world and set out to improve it, as I still am. I thank God and Zack Snyder for helping me through this every day now. My favorite movie is still Inception, but this film will never leave me. I watched it three times today. I too hope this can become a cult film, and that we can show the world its beauty. Maybe one day Zack will cease to be criticized and begin to be respected for the master that he is.Jnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518090301003568138.post-75708347480354871642011-05-04T22:10:35.168-04:002011-05-04T22:10:35.168-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Anonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518090301003568138.post-35715651866945721682011-04-22T14:24:30.485-04:002011-04-22T14:24:30.485-04:00The depth, complexity and undertones of morality, ...The depth, complexity and undertones of morality, the human capacity to fight, the human mind's coping mechanism in the face of severe trauma and the selfless beauty of self sacrifice are all masterfully presented in this film. <br /><br />The bottom line is that the majority of this film's audience simply aren't intellectual enough to conceptually appreciate or confront the ugliness and harshness of the cinematic truths embedded in film. I've screened through all too many critiques fixating on visuals of the action or the aesthetic of the female characters. What they fail to realize is that the visual action sequences are ultimately insignificant to the film. Think of the obligatory sex scene found in most popular films that instead of showing the act of fornication, shift the camera lens to an alarm clock and thusly sparing us the ensuing 'awkward' scene. Sucker Punch does the exact same with regards the sparing us several acts of oppressive and sexual degradation starting with the lobotomy scene. The more fantastic the conjured action scenes are, the more horrendous the reality is for the lead female character. Think of it as a like for like substitution in terms of experiential intensity.<br /><br />In a nutshell, the masses are too dumbed down, too prudish and too docile to understand the profound sadness, beauty and love to be found in this film. Anyone walking away from this film feeling anything less than equal parts of inspiration and contempt on a humanitarian level simply aren't switched on.Dominor Novusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6518090301003568138.post-9420937588264756202011-04-21T17:05:00.407-04:002011-04-21T17:05:00.407-04:00Thanks!

I appreciate how this live action movie so closely mimiced (and sometimes out-do) anime action sequences and game cutscenes.
