Stylized comic movie

Vice City told three violent stories, shed a lot of blood and killed many people. What's more interesting is that these three stories have one thing in common. A man takes risks for an originally strange woman/girl. The first story is a one-night stand, the third story has a little Luoli plot, and the second one, the goodness of two people is simply nonsensical. Although the story is not much new, the lineup of the film is very strong. Most of the actors are people with faces, like Willis, Cliff Owen, and angel face, devil body, Jessica Alba.

Thanks to the great help of comic author Miller and the development of DV technology, Rodriguez filmed the crime city that is known to be the closest to the original comic in history. This is a very stylized movie, mainly black and white. The gorgeous red belongs to the blood of the beauty and the protagonist, and the yellow belongs to the wretched Yellow Bastard. Such a color combination reduces the bloodiness, but makes the violence look cooler.

I have always considered Rodriguez to be a movie player, but he is far inferior to his good buddy Tarantino: the Spy kids series is a commercial junk; the killer trilogy is an innocent action battle movie. And this time, although he seems to have borrowed the editing structure of low-speed novels and was unable to do so, his performance is much stronger than before: aside from the impact of color, many characters have very unrestrained movements, and many shots are fancy.

I will continue to watch next year’s sequel, but I will definitely not watch this one again

    It's really not the type I like.

    The style is awesome! I just didn't understand what I wanted to express

Sin City quotes

  • Dwight: [after asking Miho to put Jackie-Boy out of his misery] She doesn't quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.

  • Dwight: [while being rescued from the Tar Pits] Miho. You're an angel. You're a saint. You're Mother Teresa. You're Elvis. You're God. And if you'd shown up about ten minutes earlier, we'd still have Jackie-Boy's head.
