Lonely Revenge

Sin City "Sin City" is based on Frank Miller's novel. The film tells three stories: Sin City, The Big Fat Kill and That Yellow Bastard. These three stories all take place in a fictional city: Sin City.

In this city devastated by violence, the police have been corrupted by gangs. There will be three main story lines in the film. The main story of Sin City is Marv played by Mickey. Because a beautiful woman who had had a one-night stand with him died of revenge because of him, he is going to kill in this city...[ #seperator#]

Sin City is composed of three unrelated stories: Hartigan (Bruce Willis)'s Half-Life Journey, Marv (Mickey Rock)'s Lonely Revenge and Dwight (Cliff Irving) City Adventure. The three men with completely different personalities all have a brute force that is not afraid of death and a deeply loved woman. All three stories take place in this depraved, ruined, drunken sin city. The links between each other are only a few irrelevant NPC characters: Nancy, who grew up in the story of Bruce, is the dancer in the bar, and the waitress in the bar is Owen. The key character at the beginning of the story, Kevin, who was killed by Marv in the first story, appeared in the latter part of the two-part blues story, and the only scene repeated in the film-Nancy dancing in the bar It also connects the first and third stories in time and place. So the whole story applies the story structure of "Low Speed ​​Novel" 1-2-3-1, and then uses the killer boy who appears at the beginning and the end of the film to draw a perfect circle for the film.

The favorite of the three stories is Lonely Revenge, or I like that simple idea, just for revenge, just for the love. So even the most evil people actually have a small soft spot deep in their hearts.

And most people who are kind-hearted are not really not a little bit dirty, just like the priest. We always like to use dichotomy to distinguish between wrong and right, but in fact everything is contradictory, mixed with good and bad, and there is no absolute.

Color is another highlight of the film. The semi-black and white shots have a nostalgic beauty. The occasional blood and pupils are impressive. Using such tones to express this depraved, money-evil city is indeed not appropriate.
