I haven't followed this thread, but all I gots to ask is:

Well y'know...most people sorta watch the film to figure out these sorta things. The trailers are sorta kinda there to present the questions that the movie may answer.... y'know?

That's because this movie is clearly for boys in the real world.

Not really. The logline usually explains it with the cliche "In a world, etc."

In a world where technology exists to enter the human mind through dream invasion, a highly skilled thief is given a final chance at redemption which involves executing his toughest job till date, Inception.

A genetic anomaly allows a young man to teleport himself anywhere. He discovers this gift has existed for centuries and finds himself in a war that has been raging for thousands of years between "Jumpers" and those who have sworn to kill them.


Are these fantasies science based, supernatural, etc.?


And I'm a boy in the real world...a hetersoexual one. The writer in me is being picky.

well just because it isn't in the logline doesn't mean the answer isn't there in the movie. And don't people and other elements of the fantasy world have real world parallels? Perhaps the action parts are just the conceptualization of real life events through the viewpoint of a crazy person. I mean shes on her way to a lobotomy right? Best explaination I can think of is it might be in someways like the crazy crap in Rugrats, to bring in the most random reference possible in this case. Were any ofl the fantasy things happening? no but it reflected what was going on.

Many trailers nowadays do not use that method to sell a movie. Even when using that method, going by you examples there are still questions that are left open. For instance, in Inception what is he trying to redeem? This is a huge question that can only be answered while watching the movie.

For Sucker Punch, all you need to know to get you in theaters are in the trailers. A girl is sent to an asylum where she meets other girls in the same situation as she. She soon discovers that by obtaining five objects from the confines of her mind can she escape the prison. There are scenes in the trailers that hints to all the **** that goes down as being a visual metaphor for what is really going on in the prison. Now, is this the case? I don't know, but I have enough understanding and interest of the story to want to find out more. Plus I think revealing what you are asking for could potentially ruin the whole point of the movie if there is one.

Yea I prefer going into the theater and then discovering the real details of the movie... the trailer was good... with all the style (and no substance?)

 

[ALP]

This is going to be like an MTV rendition of Shutter Island.

So a crappier crap movie?

I doubt it

 

[GhostPoet]

who cares! they are wearing school girl outfits and fighting stuff!

If you think that all movies have to rely on substance then that's too bad for you. At least this movie has something called an imagination,something that alot of movies these days is lacking.

 

[Ipodman]

But that's what Zack Snyder is famous for right... his style!

 

[S.A.A.D.]

N/a

It sounds like you are condeming the movie's style because of it having an imagination. Yeah,he's famous for his style but at least it can work for people,it's something that is very accessible. The overall style as a whole when you add up the different areas from a movie is what will make it or break it in the end.

 

[Majik1387]

I seriously don't see how someone can be negative towards it. Indifferent I can understand, but why so negative?

 

[S.A.A.D.]

Agreed. I believe that there are people who don't like these kinds of movies which honestly look down on imagination/fantasy 100%.

That's what he is famous for, yes. The substance in his films is usually overlooked (especially by those who cry about all style and no substance)

he only made one movie where it was about substance. and it was based on a graphic novel that fanboys like .

Agreed,and I believe that the style and substance can be one and the same. The gist of the movies are very easy to figure out,this for the people who think that these kinds of movies have no substance at all,by the definition of substance...that refers to something with a gist. If someone want's more substance then that is a bit fine by me but if they think that there is zero point to the movie then that is a different story.

 

[JAK®]

Yeah, and there he showed off that he can do substance.

 

[Majik1387]

Some directors start off better at adapting screenplays that aren't their own. Maybe this will be the project that shows his writing of substance.

 

[S.A.A.D.]

There are 4 gists of this movie,3 of them very basic,the heart of it within the movie is Babydoll. Which should be pretty obvious judging by the trailers,the movie on the inside wouldn't have happened if she didn't make the choice that she made,the one that brought her to the mental asylum.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

It's interesting that the girls would have to actually entertaining people in the movie by dancing in an attempt to make an escape from a nuthouse,thankfully this interesting concept will not be unused.

Wait.Are they dancing? I thought that was the dream within a dream part.

 

[dark_b]

i think the dancing is inside the dream.
