Sure - Zack Snyder is entitled to get aroused by the idea of young girls getting battered, murdered, raped, forced into prostitution and lobotomized. Sure - he's entitled to dress up his sick fantasies in push up bras, hot pants, fishnets, stilettos, and false eyelashes. And sure, it's a free country, so Snyder can delude himself into thinking that his flimsy derivative script is deep. (Did he pay Nolan a license fee for the dream within a dream within a dream gimmick?) But please please please, someone make him stop spouting all that BS about female empowerment! He wouldn't understand female power if it kicked him in the ass. SuckerPunch falls only a few steps short of kiddie porn. How very sad that watching fantasy girls get brutalized is what appeals to the "young male demographic" in the US, when so many flesh-and-blood women around the world are really and truly suffering all the crimes that seem to titillate Snyder and his ilk.
