History WMG / SuckerPunch

[[WMG: Babydoll is LightNovel/HaruhiSuzumiya]]

* This is actually spot-on, although [[spoiler: it runs a little deeper than that.]]

In the club, Baby Doll doesn't have much more control than she does in the real world, she's still awaiting a horrible fate just a few days away. Further, the Club scenario initiates while Sweet Pea is undergoing treatment. In the club, though, for Sweet Pea [[spoiler: who's used to Blue's abuses which Baby Doll is ignorant of at the start of the movie, the shift from abused mental patient to showgirl is a measure of control]], further she asserts that she should have the authority to call the mission off when she sees fit. Baby Doll is consciously in the asylum the whole movie except when she's undergoing treatment, at which point she goes straight into the war scenarios.

In the beginning of the brothel sequences, "Baby" strips off her wig to reveal Sweet Pea playing her part. The rest of the movie is Sweet Pea coming to grips with her own insanity and figuring out how to escape. The asylum is only in Sweet Pea's head, and [[spoiler:Baby is her Tyler Durden-esque means of escape]].

The movie is about Sweet Pea finally returning to sanity. When [[spoiler: Rocket dies]], it is her finally coming to grips with her delusions.

** And Rocket could be the dead little sister which is why there's such focus on her [[spoiler: death, as opposed to Blondie and Amber, who get no third-reality death sequences, though logically they should]].

** [[spoiler:Well, Gorski does mention Sweet Pea's escape, so it's hard to say.]]
** [[spoiler:He means the specifics of Sweet Pea's escape. Madame Gorski says it happened, but she never says that she met the old man from their hallucination and went to a place called Paradise. The actual shot as it appears is a hallucination.]]
*** [[spoiler:It's not like Gorski would have KNOWN the details of Sweet Pea's escape though, so her lack of knowledge about what happened to Sweet Pea after her escape doesn't disprove that it actually happened.]]

** Browning also plays crazy in ''The Univited'' too, where [[spoiler: her mother and sister are both dead due to Browning's character accidentally killing them in an attempt to kill her father ...]]

* Extending to this, the chef would be fired [[spoiler: and be arrested for the murder.. if it happened.]]

Come on; multiple levels of reality, each more outlandish and unstable than the last? A Group of people going from level to level? Symbolism? It's Shared Dreaming! The Part where the mom dies is level one of the dream. When the Sister dies and Baby Doll is sent to the [[BedlamHouse]], it goes to level two. Then, the Bordello is level three. Finally, the fantasy bits while Baby Doll is dancing would be Limbo. So, when [[spoiler:Sweet Pea goes free, that's her getting Incepted with the idea of freedom. Maybe she's in a prison or something.]]

[[WMG: If a sequel is ever made, it will reveal that the girls were brought back with a combination of cryo-stasis, cybernetics, and a super-soldier formula.]]

*** And their powers are low-level.

[[WMG: Baby Doll is a descendant of [[ThreeHundred Dilios]].]]

* All the sequences seem to take place within mountain ranges, the first sequence being up in the mountains in a building and then there is a castle in the middle of the WW1 sequences which they attack in the third sequence which happens in a mountain side which THEN has a train through it in the final "Dance" sequence..If not the exact area, in the same mountain side .

[[WMG: The rabbit head painted on the huge steampunk mecha is a reference to [[DonnieDarko Frank]].]]

* Also, Babydoll is an orphan in the brothel reality, just like [[Film/ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents Emily Browning's role in another film]].

[[WMG: The Five girls have superpowers in the fantasy worlds]]

It's a sucker punch of a plot.

[[WMG: Baby Doll is an insane ChannelAwesome reviewer]]

The final bus scene is inside Babydoll's mind.. her SweetPea 'alter personality' escaping to a "paradise", like the Paradise Diner sign implies.

A strong girl, a protective girl, a shy girl, and a practical girl.
In the real asylum she tried to escape, but realized that the real freedom is from the pains of Memory and guilt, so she sacrificed "body freedom" for "mind freedom", and allowed on of the girls of the asylum to escape instead.

[[WMG: It's about Multiple Personalities Disorder]]

Recall at the beginning he was dressed in a strangely plain outfit, all white----it doesn't look like a doctor's uniform, but almost like hospital scrubs. As though his own clothes had been confiscated. Also, there's a deleted scene on the DVD which reveals that he is in fact a performer with the girls---but he doesn't dance, he sings. So if 'dancing' is the girls being raped, is Blue being raped orally by the men?

* Also, Babydoll is an orphan in the brothel reality, just like [[ASeriesOfUnfortunateEvents Emily Browning's role in another film]].

[[WMG:Sweet Pea is an ancestor of [[ScottPilgrimVersusTheWorld Scott Pilgrim]].]]

[[WMG: Babydoll is [[SuzumiyaHaruhi Haruhi Suzumiya]] ]]

* I've actually seriously considered this as being true.

** Can you elaborate, please? I don't see it.

That's why Baby Doll paralells the lobotomy doctor with the "High Roller". The "High Roller" would take her virginity in the bordello level, and if/when the lobotomy gets done, Blue would "rent" her, in an [[KillBill "I'm Buck"]]-style. That's also why Blue, a simple atendant in the asylum level, turns into a mafioso pimp.

* You could even say too that the mecha is a reference to Jamie Chung (Amber) having played [[DragonBallEvolution Chi-Chi]].

The real girl got somehow involved in violent activities (either being in a gang or something similar) that got her younger sister killed. She was so upset about this that she had a major breakdown, and her father had her committed to an asylum. She hallucinates being [[TakeAThirdOption‎ both Baby Doll ''and'' Sweet Pea]], and the ending where Baby Doll is lobotomized is just her way of casting off the more victimized Baby Doll for the escaping of Sweet Pea.

[[WMG:The whole movie is one of the earliest in a series of several hallucinations that [[{{Series/BuffyTheVampireSlayer}} Buffy has in the "Normal Again" world in response to the death of her sister.]]
