Zack Snyder's
Sucker Punch (2011) blends action, fantasy and drama. The director-producer is most commonly known for directing 300, and his obsession with stunning visuals. He is also currently working on superhero movie
Man of Steel with Christopher Nolan.
It is unclear if Babydoll's hallucinations are due to her medication received in the mental institution, or come from her rejection of reality after the accidental murder of her own sister. However, she shows incredible bravery and selflessness. The distinction between reality and imagination often blurs, but a certain 'colour code' helps the viewers to cope. The real world is quite dark, greyish, while the first layer of dreaming is slightly more colourful but still contains references to reality, and the second layer is just absolute fantasy with monsters, dragons and spectacular fighting scenes.
Darren Arnofsky's
Black Swan is about the internal struggles of a young girl against familial and sexual oppression. Arnofsky takes a rather masochistic approach to ballet. The price of stardom is incredibly high: who wins the fight for perfection is a question of life and death.
