Sucker Punch.
I remain conflicted about this film. Strong female characters - good. Those female characters get punished - not good.
There are some cool sequences, but I am still disquieted by the gender aspects.

I appreciate this film. I understand the concept of being forced into a situation you don't deserve under unfavorable circumstances and employing any coping mechanism to get through it. I can relate to many aspects of it.

Me in cosplay:
Don't get me wrong - I liked the film for what it is. I just don't have a stomach for watching female characters being treated that way.
@Palindromeman and that movie is actually pretty tame compared to most things including reality.
@cvccosplay I know. In the end, it's just a film. At least nine people are dead in Toronto because a guy drove a van into crowds of people today. On set, the director calls "that's a wrap" and everyone has a club sandwich. The messaging is what bothers me. It's also why I don't like most horror films - they seem pre occupied with killing women.
