Sucker Punch

In the trailer the Sucker Punch the hero is Baby Doll and the initiates, who will go through trails and help the hero, are Amber, Blondie, Rocket and Sweet Pea. These five girls are stuck in a mental institution, to escape they are sent on a quest to find five objects. In the beginning of the movie you see Baby Doll at her mother's funeral. Her mother's character is the archetype of the scapegoat, her death makes the theme a more powerful  force for the heros. When Baby Doll first arrives at the Lennox House she is wearing a baggy pink dress, symbolizing innocence and youth. In her world, separate from reality, she is in a tighter black dress, symbolizing mystery and the unknown. The shapes and colours of the dresses change through the movie to show how she changes in to her true self and faces her inner fear. The Lennox House is dark and black also representing the unknown, the characters do not know what is to come. Their are two mentors that help them on their way, the Wise Man and Dr. Vera Gorski. They help them to reach the world and tell them what they must do. On quest the five girls are sent to find five objects; a map, fire,a knife, a key and the last object is a mystery. The map sends them on their way, showing them their paths. The fire represents power and control. The dragon breathes fire and in order to over come him, the heroes must gain the fire and control, over coming their fears. The knife represents sacrifice and revenge, what they desire and what they must do to get that revenge. The key symbolizes power and escape, the entrance to their goals. The last object is a mystery, facing their fears and determining if everyone will get what they deserve.

I predict Baby Doll and her initiates will go through trials and may have to make some sacrifices, such as; death, doing dark things they never imagined and some of the girls not achieving their freedom. I believe through the movie the girls will suffer punishments for their actions from the men with the control. I believe the last mystery item, will determine the fait of the girls and that it will involve a huge sacrifice. A death of one of the girls or of someone close to them.  However, I predict although the girls may not all get out of the Lennox House, the people who wronged them will get what they deserve.
