This was another story that I found quite interesting. It was something different. It was played by Emily Browing as Babydoll, Abbie Cornish as Sweat Pea, Vanessa Hudgens as Blondie, Jena Malone as Rocket and Jamie Chung as Amber.
I checked this out after knowing that it was directed by Zack Synder who also directed "300". I watched 300 and found it impressive so I was hoping for another good movie from him. He did not disappoint me.
It was a story about the struggle of a few girls in a mental institution. Some were locked wrongly. Babydoll story was one that has been properly introduced. She was sent to the instution by her step father accusing her of being mentally unstable after the death of the mother. The step-father paid a worker in the institution to forge a document that will allow a brain damaging procedure.
However before the procedure was carried out, Babydoll managed to persuade her friends to gang up in her escape plan. The plan cost Blondie, Rocket and Amber lives. Sweat Pea was the only one managed to escape after Babydoll willingly sacrifice herself to be taken in again and continued on the brain damaging procedure.
The most interesting thing about this movie was about the way the struggle was being captured and told. It was creatively showed by different imaginary battles to get all the things they needed to escape which were; map, fire, knife, key and..finally "babydoll".
Another thing that I liked about the story was the creative ways it portrayed the strength of the women. The women were femininely dressed but were also carrying guns and using machines to fight in each of the battles. The cinematography was great and the girls were kicking and punching for reals. They were not weaklings at all.
I believe the lesson the movie was trying to tell the audience was,; We have all the necessary weapons to fight and so it is up to us how to use it to free ourselves and to win our own battles.
I will give this movie a four star for simply being creative.
