The book moves along and we move out of the purely conceptual (there’s a whole page of proposed logos), you begrudgingly acknowledge that the world that Snyder has crafted is indeed impressive. But that could just be that the combination of actresses he cast (most notably Emily Browning in the role of Babydoll) seem predestined to exist in the kind of heightened, everything-including-the-kitchen-sink world that Snyder has imagined. (Note to Zack: if you really wanted this world to be “empowering,” you wouldn’t have saddled all of the girls with stripper names – in addition to Babydoll, there’s Sweet Pea, Blondie, and Amber. Where’s Crystal or Amethyst when you need her?)
We then get glimpses of the big set pieces, which are all accounted for in the trailers. When we got the book, we worried that reading it might give away the plot specifics but apparently there are no plot specifics and virtually everything has been given away in the myriad of trailers and television spots for the movie. The tagline they’ve been trotting out: “You Will Be Unprepared.” More like “You Will Have Seen Everything By the Time You Get In the Theater.
Snyder seems to be running through a “cool shit” fantasy film checklist – there are robots, dragons, Nazi-ish creatures, even Orcs (yes, Orcs, like from “Lord of the Rings”). And while the work he has put into these creations is pretty unbelievable (there’s an entire page breakdown of what the symbols mean on one of the girl’s samurai swords), it also seems almost entirely empty. There’s very little discussion about what any of these outlandish things means, exactly, besides what would look the coolest at the time. Maybe an “Art Of” book isn’t the forum for talking about Jungian nightmares or the nature of dreams as it relates to the burgeoning sexuality of teenage girls, but at least some vague hint of subtext would be nice. Instead, we get a nice page of designs for the Orcs and really unimpressive pictures of the real things on set [ watch Sucker Punch online ]
