Suckerpunch: A film about maladaptive daydreaming?

[Marla Singer]

I have just watched the film Suckerpunch, the film is about a girl who is sent to a mental instition, to cope with the horrible things happening in her life she escapes into fantasies . I strongly suggest anyone to watch this film, i think it portrays md very well to people who do not have it (eventhough i doubt the film is intended to be about md). I don't really know what i'm trying to say here but basically its worth a watch for anyone with md or anyone trying to understand md.

I don't think the director is trying to portray MD because i doubt he even knows that MD exhists, however i think that the way she escapes from reality and fantasises that things are different as a way of coping is much like the way that we MD that our lives are better, or that things are different. The point in the film that i really noticed a similarity between her retreats to fantasy was when the cook stabbed her friend in the kitchen, she retreated back to her fantasy to avoid the situation, also her fantasys were induced by music which is how the majority of us induce our DDs.
