These trailers have been elliptical, at least from a story point of view. Visually, they’ve been somewhat staggering – quick fire clips of attractive young girls in costumes that border on high-end fetish gear, battling all sorts of mythological or supernatural elements. They dive in between robots, zip underneath monstrous samurais, and face off against towering, fire-breathing dragons.
But, like, what is it about, exactly?
The new book, “‘Sucker Punch: The Art of the Film” (written by Snyder) certainly won’t illuminate anything. It does, however, collect a whole bunch of ho-hum pre-production art, as well as a gallery of images from the finished film. The main impression you get, after reading the minimal text and glancing at the volume of sketches and photos, is that Snyder was very interested in making a really cool-looking movie. And that’s about it.
In the introduction, Snyder says that he’s been living with the idea for “Sucker Punch” for “almost a decade.” The idea of a group of troubled young girls who slip into a vivid fantasy world to escape the pain of their real life is something that intrigues him. “What begins as a fearful retreat becomes an empowering coping mechanism,” he writes. (The word “empowering” is the closest thing the book comes to broaching the topic of feminism. Apparently, feminism isn’t as zingy or cool enough for Snyder. And subtext isn’t an issue.)
Most of the drawings that accompany the early section of the book, for all his talk of “empowering” and “strong” girls, look like an artist’s rendering of the Suicide Girls website – lots of garter belts and heaving cleavage. The sketches themselves lack substance, seeming more like a rip-off of genius comic book creator Paul Pope, combined with something you’d see on an Ed Hardy T-shirt – lots of inky, tattooish splashes.
