A spiritual Journey for those who are open to it

Rating: Null/10 (16 July 2011)

This is my first review on IMDb, and I think that this is an important one because for those who have seen Sucker Punch and actually got it, awesome and kudos to you. For those who didn't what is wrong with you?
If you can get past the hot women, explosions, dragons and other eye candy, this is a very spiritual movie. it is about how when you look deep within yourself you can accomplish anything.
Our main character Baby Doll (Emily Browning) accidentally kills her sister and is framed by her father for murder. This is because he stands to lose a lot due to the will of the recently deceased mother. In order to maintain his wealth he has her committed to an insane asylum and scheduled for a lobotomy.
In order to survive she must find the strength in herself to overcome obstacles in the real world. Her guide for this is veteran actor Scott Glenn (Wise Man). He assigns her special missions (in a spiritual realm within herself) to obtain keys to unlocking her full potential in the real world.
Each mission she teams up with other patients from the mental institute to accomplish these and as she completes the missions she also unlocks pieces they need to escape in the real world. The different trials all tie into the real world in some way.
This is saying when you look inside yourself and find the strength, you can accomplish anything. It is an amazing metaphor and can get lost in the razzle dazzle of the glitz and glam of the movie if you are not spiritually in tune with yourself enough to see it.
The same can be said of other great movies like Star Wars, where it is all about spirituality (the force).
