What exactly makes this movie a mind fuck? By that I mean, I'm interested in your expanding your opinion on this statement because I didn't see it that way but maybe I missed something...
Every review I read or heard made it out to be terrible and nonsensical / confusing... I did not understand what was complicated about it, it seemed pretty straightforward and had the same feel as your basic action film. It had the "out of body experience" / disassociation gimmick going for it that I guess maybe people (film critics) didn't get?
I dunno, I feel like movies like this are getting more and more ridiculous but aren't really getting any "better" or more interesting... like, I guess I just feel like the slick action film (300, Sucker Punch, etc) just keeps getting done over and over but somehow the genre receives more and more praise from younger audiences (i.e. not your typical film critics who generally clearly don't give a shit about the genre and just pan every film).
There's a lot of room in the genre to make a quality film that's interesting (I enjoyed Sin City and still do for the most part, though that may have been more nuanced or less ballistic than this film and therefore better placed in a different genre) but I don't think anyone is doing it.
Cartilage Head:
I think Sucker Punch has one underlying, very important message from Zack Snyder himself.
"Be free. Do what you want, like I did with this movie."

"But if you're a girl, you have to do it in pigtails and a sexy little skirt so that people will pay attention."

Freedom to Pander.

No, maybe you didn't get it, the misogyny is happening in the movie, being carried out by the male characters... not by the director that put them in those outfits and had super sexy, fast, action packed trailers cut up highlighting the short skirts and pigtails.
