  • Essay / Schizophrenia in the movie Sucker Punch - 1198

    For a long time I have been deeply interested in schizophrenia, I think mental illnesses like this are misinterpreted in the media. Several films feature schizophrenia in pop culture. One of these films is one that I really enjoyed, Tittle Sucker Punch. The movie Sucker Punch is based on the inner thoughts and imagination of the main character, Baby Doll. The film takes place partly in Baby Doll's reality and partly in the imaginary world she creates, as part of her escape. Her fantasy world is filled with a sage, huge ninjas, steam punk Russian Nazis, dragons and cyborgs, villains who attack her as she tries to seek freedom. All these characters symbolize the people Baby Doll meets in her reality and the unimaginable situations she faces. His reality is filled with real villains, his attackers. These unimaginable situations include sexual and physical abuse. Throughout the film, it becomes clear that Baby Doll suffers from a dissociative disorder. Throughout the film, Baby Doll dives deep into several dream worlds that tell the audience what is really happening throughout the film, the way she sees her world. If the viewer pays close attention, it turns out that Baby Doll might be suffering from undiagnosed schizophrenia. The dream worlds that Baby Doll sinks into are coping mechanisms that she uses to dissociate herself from the abuse she suffered, at the hands of her step further. Then, the dream worlds are used to help Baby Doll deal with the sexual abuse she suffers from the crooked nurses and others at the asylum where her stepfather sends her, after the attack at the during which his sister was murdered. There are several clues that suggest the middle of the paper was in the 1950s; In the 1950s, lobotomies were a method of treating schizophrenia. In the middle of the film, the audience watches this film which gives a great insight into the mind of a mentally ill young woman. The film shows how his illness could have been triggered in the young Baby Doll. Young Baby Doll learned to dissociate from her surroundings when her stepfather's abuse began. She created a dream world of which she was the heroine, to escape the reality of which she was the victim. The film vividly shows the fantasy world that people diagnosed with schizophrenia can fall into, as well as the other symptoms they may exhibit. A person suffering from schizophrenia often cannot tell the difference between what is real and what is not. It's obvious that worlds filled with giant dragons and ninjas aren't something that isn't real..
