Final Fantasy VII and Inception Together At Last!

Rating: 9/10 (8 July 2011)

I'm really surprised at a lot of people's thoughts on this film. I've heard it called misogynistic and s hallow, but I thought it was exactly the opposite. I thought it was empowering.
It depicts the journey of a young girl through guilt, pain and loss through the medium of an alternate reality. This metaphor in which the characters live is a cabaret style brothel. The girls fight for freedom and dignity in a situation that so harshly strips them of it.
I especially loved the action scenes within this. They were, admittedly, a touch far fetched, but the amazing level of kick ass contained in these scene out weighed any sense of unbelieving.
I really loved this movie. I loved that it was so very open ended. I loved that it was so original. I loved the way the action scenes broke up the emotionally heavy storyline. I loved the whole thing. I just loved it.
