      Is this interesting? I lost interest after two minutes.

      Although it is the same author as "Sin City", the style does not necessarily have to be the same. This film seriously gives me the feeling of a dog's tail.

      When I saw the opening, the first thing that came to my mind was Li Guohao's "The Crow". "The Crow" was named Gothic style, regardless of the difference between the visual and the Gothic, but in terms of rendering, it did meet the visual needs.

      Watching this movie again makes me sleepy.

      It is destined to be...

      very funny

      Originally thought it was a sin city-style film, but I didn't expect it to be a completely amusing film. I
      suggest everyone not to be deceived by its black and white appearance. This is an American-style spoof movie.

      Samuel L. Jackson Pulp Fiction was not much fun after that, but in this film, the

      cos in the middle is really amazing...

      It's another hero movie, it's very entertaining and entertaining

      Sure enough, it is exactly the same as Sincity. It turns out that the director's
      pictures are very comics and movies.

      No matter what the plot is, I just love watching this kind of movie scene. Never

      Tired of Seeing It Actually, the plot is not as bad as some people say, it's just not as serious and cool as sincity, with a few more funny nonsense, such as the Indian girl who stabbed the male protagonist, weird, hehe

      anyway, like this Movies just look...

      Well, it turns out - form is no match for content!

      Well, I admit, my original motive for watching the film was impure. Before downloading, I misread the title and thought it was "The Flash". I was so excited. I watched so many Flash TV series in junior high school, and now I can finally make it into a movie. After the excitement is over, take a closer look, "The Shining Man"? what is this? It can only be said that there are too many American comic heroes. When I was a child, I was poor and could not afford to buy too many American comics. I...

      Some people are not born to be directors

      Frank Miller's previous works "Sin City" and "300 Warriors" are both classics in my mind, especially "Sin City", and I also bought a CD to collect it. But this "The Shining" completely destroyed the image of Frank Miller in my mind. It seems that he is still not suitable to be a director. There is absolutely no specific story in "The Shining", only some random fabrications that are unreasonable. A bunch of fragmented plots, the most important thing is that the story is not attractive at all,...

    Creative process

    In the early 1990s, producer Michael Aslan bought the rights to the live-action film adaptation of the comic "The Spirit" and assured the original author that he would not give the film to anyone who did not understand the "essence" of the original comic. In the hands of the director. The main "essence" is two points. The ghost in the movie must have a beautiful uniform; after he is resurrected, he must have powerful superpowers....

    Adapted and produced

    In the plot, Frank Miller removed most of the story of the protagonist as a police officer before his death, and focused on his experience after he became The Spirit. In addition, he also changed the background in the original work that was set in the 1940s and early 1950s to a sense of no iconic era. The streets in the film look very old, but the technology used by people is modern.
    In terms of role, Frank Miller believes that the...
