It Doesn't make Sense

Rating: Null/10 (10 April 2011)

The film is just an excuse for a lot of nonsensical eye candy.
And it reinforces the Hollywood stereotype of abusive stepfathers,and 1950s/60s mental institutions (just to overdo the point, this one is for the "Mentally Insane") as unbelievably filthy, abusive prisons run by corrupt sadists.
Even if you can stomach that, since most of the film is Baby Doll's escapist fantasy, she must be either a prescient genius or remarkably well-informed, or both, since she knows all about Japanese demons, World War One hardware, LOTR type fantasy scenarios, mobile chain guns and other weapons and hardware not invented in her time (21st century style headsets for example) and various bits of fantasy hardware including steampunk zombies and Japanese type power armor not envisaged until a over decade later with the iconography of a decade after that. Not to mention Anime combat, 21st century style. Some girl!
Even passing over all that as a metaphor for... something... what did it mean?
Wookies living on Endor.... If it doesn't make sense, you must acquit!
