The Temple Lyrics by Zack Snyder

Sucker Punch: The Art of the Film

2011

When Babydoll first opens up her mind and begins to lose herself in the experience of the dance, the boundaries of her reality blur even more than they already have. She finds herself standing before an immense Japanese temple in the midst of gently swirling snow flurries, inside she encounters a Wisе Man, who gets her to realizе that she wants to escape more than anything. Towards this end, he imparts to her two crucial things; a list of talismans she'll need to break out of her prison, and the weapons she'll need to acquire the talismans.
The five talismans are a Map, Fire, a Knife, a Key, and a fifth thing that is to remain a mystery until Babydoll (and only Babydoll) solves it. He offers no explanation of how they are supposed to be used, or how or when they are to be obtained; like the fifth item, it is assumed she will just know. Her weapons include a custom-made 45 automatic — eerily similar to the one involved in the recent tragedy back home — and a Japanese short sword of unusual make. Etched into its fine blade are symbols of Babydoll's journey, from the happier days of her childhood, through to the dark times ahead. If only she could decipher them...
But for now, the only things between her and continuing on that journey are three gargantuan samurai wielding a variety of high-powered weaponry. The Wise Man vanishes, and she is left to face them all alone. It is her first test.
