"Sin City" let me see what is heavy taste. The vortex of black and white violence in the film is always full of machine guns, blood, heads, and even dismemberment. The level of horror is horrifying. The film is adapted from the famous comic master Frank. Miller's classic work of the same name consists of three stories, all set in the depraved, ruined, drunk and drunk Sin City. Here, the police and the thugs have no boundaries, violence destroys everything and accomplishes everything. In the first story, in Sin City, Goldie, the blonde beauty, has a one-night stand with the ugly hunk Ma Fu in order to seek protection. However, Gotti's efforts did not spare him. The next day, Gotti died beside Ma Fu. Ma Fu was a lonely marginal figure. His cold heart had just been warmed by Gotti and fell into heavy shadows again. With the help of Gotty's twin sister Wendy, Ma Fu embarked on a bloody road of revenge. The second story followed immediately. The plastic criminal Dewright and a group of prostitutes unknowingly killed the policeman Jackie, thus breaking the dirty agreement between the police and the prostitutes. The old city will face a bloody disaster because of the tearing up of the agreement. The only solution is to destroy the corpse, and the focus of the fight is Jackie's head. The third story, Huang Xingzhong, was cut into two sections and placed at the beginning and end of the film. Eight years ago, the upright policeman Hardy fought alone in isolation and rescued the 11-year-old girl Nancy from the crazy little Rock. Hardy was jailed for offending the powerful. Nancy obeyed Hardy and lived in hiding. Between Hardy and Nancy, there is a warm affection similar to that of a father-daughter. In eight years, Nancy's letters became the driving force for Hardy's survival. Eight years later, Hardy walked out of the prison in cooperation with the police in order to find the uninformed Nancy, and all this was just a trap for Rock. After hard struggle, Hardy defeated Rock. Nancy fell in love with the hero in her mind, and Hardy chose self-sacrifice in complex emotions. Throughout the film, its structure is amazing. The director deliberately reversed the sequence of the three stories, so that the audience felt a sense of realization after watching them. The protagonists of the three stories appear in other stories at the right time. For example, in the story of Sin City, Nancy, who has grown up, dances in a bar with grace and grace. In another example, Shirley, the waitress in the bar, is the key figure in the beginning of the sniper story. For another example, Kevin, who was killed by Ma Fu, appears in the latter part of Hardy's story. Three seemingly independent stories, with me in you and you in me, closely linked. A handsome killer appears at the beginning and end of the film, which means the unrevealed ugliness and embarrassment of Sin City. Another highlight of "Sin City" is color. The black and white in the film are overwhelming, and without losing the visual impact, it moderately reduces the negative impact of violence and blood on the audience. In the black and white world, the occasional red, yellow, and green are rendered to the extreme. The red blood on Miho's face, the yellow skin on Xiao Roque's body, and the magnified green beauty eyes, these warm tones look compelling and are in a prominent position. "Sin City" has been labeled as a violent aesthetic. While admiring the structure and color of the film, the theme of the film makes me anxious. In the city of sin, violence is truth, and violence is used purely to control violence. There is no charismatic hero like Achilles, no Aristotelian brain, no so-called glorious humanity. Even if there is a hint of warm color, it is deformed. In such an extremely ugly city, it is difficult to see hope.
