This low expectation should start with "pulp fiction".
At the beginning, more than one person said yes to me and went to watch it with anticipation, but fell asleep every day, and it took three days to finish it. Forgive me for my superficial incomprehension of the so-called tribute to the master, so I feel bored, including the rabbit dance praised by countless people. After all, it was a film in 1994, and the content seems to be nothing special today, just like every Hitchcock film that is regarded as a classic, and now I watch it all as expected.
Of course, I was still impressed by the circular structure of "pulp fiction". I wondered how this former video rental clerk produced such ideas and made such a groundbreaking B-level film and such a cult film.
"Sin city" is a three-part story. Irrelevant characters are interspersed with each other because of some small details, and time and space are intertwined. It's hard not to remind people of "pulp fiction", in fact, there is a small piece of it by Quentin himself, in return for Rodriguez's one dollar gift. If you want to tell the difference, then sin city is not like a pulp fiction story one by one, one of which is cut into two.
Such similarity makes people think that sin city will be cool and the structure will be very unique, but, relatively, the story will be boring. The result is really cool, very special, plus a high level of visibility, humorous content, and beautiful and strange violent stories.
It all started with Josh Harnett. The gentle Josh talked sweet words, hugs, caressing, and gunshots with a sexy woman on the terrace (it seems to be borrowed from a classic part of a classic movie, that is, it is not really cut), against the black and white gloomy background, the red female body slowly It slipped, not the kind of bright red, slightly gray and black, looking extraordinarily glamorous and attractive. It's a pity that the body is cold, the soul is gone, leaving the raindrops falling from the sky.
The scarlet sin city flashed immediately, followed by the manga face matching the actor's name, and the evil and dirty world opened the curtain...
This is a field where there is no law but only power. It has its own ancient and consistent rules. If you want to survive, you must abide by the rules of the game. The women wore sm costumes with little fabric, danced sexually inciting dances, and relied on primitive capital to make a living. The old city, the city of sin, they come and go freely, they have their own way, nothing special. They are all ruthless characters, especially the women who call "Meihui". The girls' faces are popular nowadays, and they can't be taken lightly.
Characters of various colors shuttled among them, including a murderer convicted of neurological abnormality on parole, a fugitive who had plastic surgery escaped from prison, and a former police officer who allegedly raped an underage girl. Three separate stories occurred. Very exciting.
There is no right or wrong, no moral ideals, use evil to control evil, and violence to control violence. A lot of plasma, a lot of violence. So, if you like to ask what the movie means, don’t watch it; if you like to get something from the movie, don’t watch it; if you like to explore the meaning of filming, don’t watch it. Conversely, if you have the same visual system as me, you are usually attracted to the different, so don't miss it. This is definitely the most creative and unexpected work of 2005.
The story originated from classic American comics. The original author's painful lesson refused Rodriguez's idea of adapting the remake. In order to obtain Iraq’s consent, Riggoz took the lead in borrowing Josh to make a small piece of the film. At the beginning. With this short film that is basically unrelated to the entire story, he not only obtained the approval of the original author, but also attracted Bruce Willis, Cliff Owen and others to join him, and easily obtained the large sums of money needed for the filming. As a result, Yilian and all the big names vacated in the blue-screen shed in their backyard.
The same is adapted from a cartoon, the same is full of crime and violence, the same as blood and limbs are flying, sin city is different from people. The retro black and white background, absurd plot, both righteous and evil men, sexy and sensual women, deliberately rendered red, blue, white and yellow, all attract people's attention.
You never know when there will be colors in the black and white background, never know when the splashed white liquid will turn blood red, never know when there will be something different from normal. The killing is sometimes even humorous. When you see the head of Tian Ling Gai with a sharp knife swaying and talking, it is difficult to describe what it feels like. You are pleasantly surprised by the absurd direction of the story, because you can't imagine how the director will show next.
No, it's not unbearable. No amount of blood is white, like a weird liquid shining with fluorescence; the most cruel shots are simplified, as if the silhouette-like images only present events and are not disgusting; under special treatment, I did not even recognize that name The perverted killer of Sen Leng is the lovely classmate Elijah Wood.
After two hours of unexpected excitement, the camera returned to Josh's gentle face again, and the story drew a perfect circle.
