Snyder Throws a Sucker Punch

[Deaths Head II]

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

No, not really.

He did a precise adaptation of a story with substance. If he does an substantive film that isn't a direct translation of something then we'll talk. And even with Watchmen there are many instances where I felt he just didn't get it, like with Rorschach's final scene.

I like Snyder, but it's all because of his style.

Just because he did substance based off source material does not change the fact that the substance was there.

It would be kind of hard to adapt a source material like Watchmen and then leave out the substance unless you were specifically looking to avoid it. I don't even see how you could avoid it if you're adapting it that closely.

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

Is that sarcasm? My sarcasm detector isn't working.

Rorschach's final scene was one of the most beautiful death scenes i have seen it was done so well so not sure what you talking about lol

No sarcasm on my part. In the trailer there seems to hint that there's some corresponding between the items she needs to find and something in the burlesque house. The dragon being a lighter etc. So if she's dancing on one level of a dream, what is that supposed to be in the other or is it just symbolism?

 

[Project862006]

from what i understand the dance place is in her dream as well but she has to dance to get to the dream worlds

Rorschach's final scene was one of the most beautiful death scenes i have seen it was done so well so not sure what you talking about lol

It was beautiful in the comic where he was alone and it apparently made no difference. It was poignant and powerful. The movie just ruined it by making Nite Owl come out and be like "NOOOOOO!" and then the movie proceeded to tell you how you should feel about the plot of the film. Snyder decided it was time to talk down to the audience I guess. People always complain about the stupid squid but that was the biggest and most bothersome deviation from the comic for me. It showed Snyder really doesn't have much of a grasp on subtlety.

 

[Project862006]

or maybe he felt nite owl his best friend should see it

lets end this now since i will never agree with you on this

anyway back to sucker punch

Rubbish. The film has flaws but it was obvious that he understood it. His interpretation of the comic is probably different from yours but that doesn't mean he didn't get it.

The comic practically tells you how to feel as well. In fact Alan Moore has said that the events of the ending should always be seen as something horrible unless you're some kind of nut. Alan Moore isn't a subtle writer either.

[Ipodman]

I like Zack Snyder... I loved 300...

Hot looking blonde girls wearing short skirts fighting giant samurai robots with Gatling guns.

SOLD.

 

[GoblinWhirlwind]

Between Sucker Punch and Superman, Snyder will soon be my best friend.

We need to go deeper.......

 

[TheComicbookKid]

We need to go deeper.......

That's what she said.

 

[BLACK-SPIDEY]

Thats what YOU said......

 

[Majik1387]

The dance hall/burlesque house is in the real world. Her and the other girls are inmates that are being used to perform. It's when she is dancing that she has a focus and a way to collect the objects for escape

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I realized a little while ago that there is going to be 5 groups of action sequences. Minus what brought Baby Doll to the nuthouse.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

The more I think about this concept, the more I like it.

Using an elaborate fantasy as a parallel reality to escape a physical prison of sorts.

The dance hall is a dream.that's where the high roller character comes in who represent s the person going to lobotomize her in the real world.

And where did you hear this?

 

[S.A.A.D.]

I have a feeling that the ending of the movie is going to be predictable. Which is that she's going to escape in the real world just in time after getting her hands on 5 different items.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

And where did you hear this?

You also reunited with Zack Snyder on Sucker Punch this year, where you play Mrs. Schultz. What can you tell me about her?
I’m actually in the middle of filming right now — I go back tonight and shoot tomorrow morning. I play a dual character: this Polish, 1960s psychiatrist, and in the alternate world, I play a dominatrix-slash-madam of a brothel. The character’s last name is now Gorski.

While nothing is really known about his character, though High Roller - which might be more of a description than a name - owns a brothel in the pic.

Ah, wasn't aware it was a dream within a dream movie. Honestly preferred it as a Institution gone evil.
