This wasn't such bad a movie. It sure wasn't deep, but I did not expect that. The problem is, all that surreal to fantastic action tires you out after a while. Went from a solid B to a low C movie, really.

I can't help it if you were too busy being distracted by the surrealism to notice the deep, compelling, and emotional story that was running throughout the film.



The two stories go very well together. The film did an exceptional job of showing a metaphor within a metaphor in the mind of a disturbed young woman who was being abused.



Those things being present are not destructive to my point, unless you take the position that those things cannot coexist with a deep, compelling, and emotional story... which is a logical fallacy known as a false dilemma.


The film used surreal action sequences to represent how this young woman was coping with her combined mental problems as well as her abuse. It also used the whole brothel representation to further define how she was retreating into her imagination in order to cope with the pain she was going through. I don't expect the average movie-goer to see everything that is going on because the average movie-goer is going to be distracted by the violence, CGI, and "hot babes". As this is a film with layers, I suggest you watch it again and this time look for the story and I think that you will see that my anolysis is right on the money.

Does it matter if the movie svcks? Its not that bad. Movies always get rated crap. All you need to be doing is staring at Babydoll for the whole 1hour and x minutes. Though be careful someone jacked my wallet when I was distracted..
