Dopeness

Rating: 8/10 (28 March 2011)

OK i've watched it twice, and I've come away with a story that is very satisfying. I highly rate this film after seeing it for what it is. Here's how i understand it:
All the characters from the brothel are real. The brothel is Sweet Pea's mind's interpretation of what is happening in the real world. She creates this dream world as a means to escape from the horrors of the real world where the girls are being abused. She also created it because the doctor was teaching her how to use her imagination as part of her therapy.
Baby Doll was also very real, and also had the dream therapy from the doctor. Her mind created the world where all the fighting scenes occurred.
So each of the 2 alternate universes are actually re-expressions of what is actually occurring in the real world from 2 different points of view (Sweet Pea sees dancing, Baby Doll sees swords and guns)
Therefore, Sweet Pea does actually escape, and Baby Doll is lobotomized although she completely accepts it and welcomes it at that point as a means to remove the guilt of killing her sister.
Baby Doll and the Old Guy are the guardian angels Sweet Pea was talking about at the start of the movie.
Now what I speculate is: 1. The girls dancing is a metaphor for the girls having sex or being raped/abused. 2. When baby doll is dancing she is seducing the target while someone else steals the item.
Great Film!
