Sin City is composed of three unrelated stories: Hartigan's half-life journey, Marv's lonely revenge, and Dwight's urban adventures. The three men with completely different personalities all have a brute force that is not afraid of death and a deeply loved woman. The three stories all take place in this depraved, ruined, drunken sin city, and the links between each other are only a few irrelevant NPC characters: Nancy, who grew up in the blues story, 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 film uses black and white, no, there are actually extremely rendered red, yellow, and green. Whether it's the blood-red sky, golden monsters, or the beautiful eyes of emerald green, in the pure color world of black, gray and white, they all look even more powerful. In addition to being able to fully fit the two-color world of the original comic book, there are several advantages to doing so-without losing the visual impact, it moderately reduces the negative effects of violence and blood for the audience, and even makes some bloody scenes appear to be equivalent. humor. Despite this, the bloody index of the film is still heinous, blood is splattered, limbs and heads fly randomly... The film seems to ignore the legitimate and popular violent aesthetics, deliberately raise the boundaries, and use purer visual and psychological illusions to render evil. Comic violence in the city.
Monologue, as another feature of the film, is not common in other comic movies. The more or less monologues of the three protagonists-low and cold voices, while showing the character and characters of the audience, they coincide with the dark, cold and instant frenetic background of the film. Among them, Marv has the most monologues, which is consistent with his lonely character in the Fallen City; Dwight has the least monologues, which happens to be his cold sign. Performance has always been one of the most important aspects of the film, and the characters in Sin City seem to be created alone. Especially the Marv played by Mickey Locke, this big face that can compete with Ron Perlman as Hellboy finally made a different appearance on April Fool's Day in 2005; Bruce Willis is still the cop of the past. Old and helpless, even with a tragic ending; Irving, who just won the Golden Ball for Best Supporting Actor, is alone; Elijah Wood's ogre is also impressive... In view of the length of the relationship, other female characters in SM outfits Leave it to others to comment.
Someone must accuse the film of low moral content. In addition to meaningless images and lack of connotation of the storyline, the film does not seem to say anything, advocating violence? We must know that even Spider-Man also tells us meaningfully: the world needs heroes, and heroes also need faith. There are almost no heroes in "Sin City". Mickey Locke lives and dies for a prostitute, Bruce Willis shoots himself in the head for the girl he loves-the film is almost completely separated from the real world with the most basic character feelings (even sensuality) to maintain Subjective justice is undesirable in the moral outlook of the real world. For such a movie that is completely faithful to the original, such objections are nothing more than pedantic rhetoric who still don't understand what the comics are. Comics are not preaching, so the question is not what you learned after reading it, but what you “enjoyed”? Shown on the screen are super cool shapes, exaggerated expressions and motion pictures similar to movies and TV, which are filled with the imagination of readers. What's more, a cult comic like this is not a hysterical and violent roar like punk music, nor is it like a mockery of reality in the imaginary world in absurd literature. Sin City can be described as a perfect performance at this point-completely faithful to the original comic style, the frame of the picture is placed on the screen as it is, supplemented by excellent special effects and background music, and the performance of violence has been intensified to satisfy the natural madness of humanity. How can comic lovers not be ecstatic?
Comics, violence, and good word of mouth are the reasons why this film can capture a large number of audiences on Hollywood’s April Fool’s Day weekend. Of course, the color, performance, and monologue can also be counted as non-first ring structures. This film is different from any previous ones. What makes a comic movie brilliant. The color application in post-production alone is enough to record director Robert Rodriguez in the annals of film history. Also, don't forget, Quentin, who is ubiquitous, also directed a short series of shots in Sin City this time. So it is not difficult to explain why many people associate this film with Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill.
Vertically falling raindrops and rapidly rising virtual footage turned the entire dark night city into a few blood-red letters of "Sin City". The capital of loneliness, confusion, love and primitive desire, it uses violent film language and unique image methods to tell us that this may be a nearly perfect film between cult and entertainment in 2005.
[Side] She trembles in the wind, like the last leaf on a dead tree. I let her hear my footsteps. She only hesitated. Killer: Do you want to smoke a cigarette? Girl: Of course, I want one. Do you also think this banquet is boring? Killer: I didn't come because of the banquet. It's because of you. I have been paying attention to you for a long time. You have all the beauty that a man can imagine, not only your appearance, body, voice, but also your eyes, everything I see in your eyes. Girl: What do you see in my eyes? Killer: I saw an unusual calmness. You are tired of running away, you are ready to face what you have to face. However, you are not willing to face it alone. Girl: Yes. I don't want to face it alone. [Narrator] The wind brings excitement. Her body is soft and warm, as if weightless. The smell of her perfume was like a sweet promise, and it made me cry. I told her everything will be fine. I will save her from everything she is afraid of, far away. I told her that I love her. The muffler makes the gun sound like a whisper. I held her tightly until she died. I never know what she is escaping from, and I will go to receive her bounty tomorrow morning.
1. Marv: I try to slow my heart down and breathe the fire out of my lungs.
2. Marv:That's one fine coat you're wearing
3. [Marv has been mistaken for Goldie's murderer]
Marv:You crazy god-damn broad! Just take a look at this mug. Would any of you dames let me get close enough to you to kill you? None of you would, but Goldie... But she only did because she thought I could protect her. And I bet those cops didn't do a damn thing about those other girls, did they? But as soon as they had me for a fall guy they showed up, guns blazing. But they didn't get me and I've been killing my way to the truth ever since. So go ahead, doll, shoot me now, or get the hell out of my way.
4. [first lines]
The Salesman:[narrating] She shivers in the wind like the last leaf on a dying tree. I let her hear my footsteps. She only goes stiff for a moment.
5. Lenny:Hold on, Benny. I just want to make sure these two get along all right.
Roark Jr.:And what kind of a beast couldn't get along with a precious little girl like this? You're probably scared now, but you have nothing to be scared of. All we're going to do is talk, just a nice talk, you and me. Don't you cry now.
6. Yellow Bastard:[raises knife] Here it comes, it's gonna hurt.
John Hartigan:You're right about that.
[stabs him]
John Hartigan:Sucker.
7. Brian:[to Dwight] Never give an Irishman a cause for revenge.
8. Jack Rafferty:[with his hand cut , and one of Miho's shuriken in his butt, while crawling to pick up his hand] Don't laugh, it's not funny!
9. Cop: You tagged him good.
Cop: Don't take no chances.Perforate the fool!
John Hartigan:[turns around and shoots them] Good advice.
10. John Hartigan:[beating the Yellow Bastard's head in] After a while all I'm doing is punching wet chips of bone into the floorboards. So I stop.
11. Nancy Callahan:[to Hartigan] It has always been you. All these years...
12. John Hartigan:[after turning down Nancy] Cold shower. It helps.
13. Marv:I don't know about you, but I 'm havin' a ball.
14. Manute:The truce of Sin City will be shattered. There'll be arrests, there'll be deaths. Nothing can stop this.
15. John Hartigan:Roark! Give it up. Let the girl go.
Roark Jr.:[holding a young Nancy] You can't do a goddamn thing to me Hartigan. You know who I am. You know who my father is! You can't touch me, you piece of shit cop! Look at you, you can't even lift that cannon you carry!
John Hartigan:[pause] Sure I can.
[shoots Junior]
16. Jack Rafferty:Baby doll, I've had me one helluva bad day. I've been beaten up every time I turn around.
17. [from trailer]
Jack Rafferty:Come on get in the car baby, we'll just talk it'd be nice.
[pulls gun]
18. The Salesman:The wind rises, electric. She's soft and warm and almost weightless. Her perfume is a sweet promise that brings tears to my eyes. I tell her that everything will be all right. That I'll save her from whatever she's scared of and take her far, far away. I tell her I love her.
The Salesman:[silenced gunshot]
The Salesman:The silencer makes a whisper of the gunshot. I hold her close until she's gone. I'll never know what she was running from. I'll cash her check in the morning.
19. [after being smacked in the jaw by Jackie Boy]
Bozo No. 1:[about Jackie Boy] He is generous. But that temper of his.. . you shouldn't have picked on him like you did. My temper, you don't have to worry about.
Shellie:[grabs a knife and points it at him] Shut up and keep your hands to yourself, or I'll cut your little pecker off.
Bozo No. 1:Woo! I been told!
20. Marv:[narrating] Walk down the right back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything...
21. John Hartigan:I'm looking for Nancy Callahan?
Shellie:Eyes to the stage, pilgrim. She's just warming up.
22. Dwight:This clown's out of control. I followed him here to make sure he didn't hurt any of the girls.
Gail:Us helpless little girls.
23. Becky:[after Jackie Boy pulls a gun out on her] Oh, sugar, you just gone and done the dumbest thing in your whole life.
24. [from trailer]
Dwight:It's time to prove to your friends that you're worth a damn. Sometimes that means dying, sometimes it means killing a whole lot of people.
25. Marv:[voiceover] Goldie's dead. I've been framed for murder. The cops are in on it.
Cop:[knocks on door] Open up! Police!
Marv:I'll be right out.
[flicks lighter shut]
Marv:[Door is blown off its hinges, taking several cops with it]
26 . Marv:What if I'm wrong? I've got a condition. I get confused sometimes. What if I've imagined all this? What if I've finally turned into what they've always said I would turn into? A maniac. A psycho killer.
27. [from trailer]
Yellow Bastard:Recognize my voice, Hartigan? Recognize my voice, you piece-of-shit cop? I look different, but I bet you can recognize my voice!
28. Dwight:Where to fight, it counts for a lot. But there's nothing like having your friends show up with lots of guns.
29. Jack Rafferty:You want to see it? You wanna see what I got?
Becky:I've seen all shapes, all sizes.
Jack Rafferty:[pulls gun] You seen this one?
30. [from trailer]
Jack Rafferty:You wanna see it? You wanna see what I got?
31. Senator Rourk:Evening, Officer. I don't have to introduce myself, do I? You read the papers . This being an election year, you've seen plenty of my picture. You know what I can do. And I'm doing you, Hartigan. Cold and hard, I'm doing you.
32. Klump:And, if my current state of much-justified petulance permits me to press the point, you are likeways demonstratably bereft of a working understanding of the perimeters of our beforementioned mission at hand.
Klump:Relevant to said mission is the following query I now put forth to you. Said query concerning matters strictly spatial in nature... Wherein this most streamlined and trunkless of transports, boner-inspiring though it may be, wherein are we to reposit our recently deceased cargo?
33. Jack Rafferty :You're gonna love this, baby.
34. Dwight:It's your apartment. But be careful, Shellie, this clown's got big, mean drunk-on and he's got four friends out there in the hall, breathing hard and just as drunk as he is.
Jack Rafferty:Hey, I could swear I heard somebody in there with you, just now. You got somebody with you, baby? You be honest with me. You owe me that much.
Shellie:Somebody? Jackie Boy, it's a regular African love-fest in here. I got me all five starters and half the bench of the Basin City Blues keeping me company. You feel like taking them on?
Jack Rafferty:You're teasing me, baby. I'm no racist.
35 . Lucille:[screaming] He made me watch!
36. Klump:I can only express puzzlement, that borders on alarm.
37. Dwight:Do I risk it all and take this cop down?
38. Marv:Lucille's my parole officer. She's a dyke, but God knows why. With that body of hers she could have any man she wants.
39. Cardinal Roark:[holding Kevin's head before Marv kills him] We're going home, Kevin.
40. Shellie:[after Dwight drowns Jackie-Boy in his own urine] Dwight, what did you do to him?
Dwight:I gave him a taste of his own medicine.
41. John Hartigan:[pounding Yellow Bastard into floor]
[shouts]
John Hartigan:Eight long years, you son of a bitch!
42. Cop:There's no sign of him!
Marv:Here's a sign!
[hits cop in groin with hatchet]
43. [Hartigan is on his way to go save a girl from a rapist]
Bob:I'm gonna get on the horn and wait for back-up. We're gonna wait for back-up!
John Hartigan:Sure, Bob. You'll call for back-up. And we'll sit on our hands while that Roark brat gets his sick thrills from viction number four. Victim number four! Nancy Callahan. Age 11. She'll be raped and slashed to ribbons. And that back-up we're waiting on will just happen to show up late enough to let Roark get back home to his US Senator daddy and everything will be fine until Junior gets the itch again.
Bob: Take a deep breath, Hartigan. Settle down and think straight. You're pushing 60. You've got a bum ticker. You're not saving anybody.
John Hartigan:You've got a great attitude, Bob. You're a great cop. A real credit to the force, you are.
Bob:Eileen's home waiting for you. Think about Eileen.
John Hartigan:Heck, Bob. Maybe you're right.
Bob:I'm glad to hear you're finally talking sense!
[Hartigan punches Bob in the face]
John Hartigan:[narrating] Hell of a way to end a partnership. Hell of a way to start my retirement.
44. Marv :You can scream now if you want.
45. John Hartigan:[to Nancy] Whatever he does to you: don't scream.
46. Marv:Hell's waking up every goddamn day and not even knowing why you're here.
47. Marv: I'm on my feet for about ten minutes before the cops kick them out from under me. They don't ask me any questions. They just keep knocking the crap out of me and waving a confession in my face. And I keep spitting blood all over it and laughing at how many fresh copies they come up with. Then along comes this worm assistant district attorney who turns the recorder off and says if I don't sign their confession, they'll kill my mom . I break his arm in three places and I sign it.
48. John Hartigan:Skinny little Nancy Callahan. She grew up. She filled out.
49. [after Jackie-Boy's head explodes]
Manute:No, McCarthy, you shit!
50. Jack Rafferty:Come on in the car, baby.
Becky:I'm sorry. I do the day shift and it's been a long day. Besides, I don't do group jobs.
Jack Rafferty:Come on in and we can just have a nice talk.
Becky:I don't do talk jobs either.
51. John Hartigan:Aim careful, and look the devil in the eye.
52. Dwight:Deadly little Miho. She won't let you feel a thing unless she wants you to. She twists the blade. He feels it.
53. [Marv?s last line]
Marv:Is that the best you can do, you pansies?
54. Marv: [to Kevin] I got you now, ya little bastard. Let's see you hop around now.
55. Marv:Wait a second. Why'd she call you Wendy?
Wendy:Because that's my name, you ape. Goldie was my sister . My twin sister.
Marv:I guess she was the nice one.
56. Stuka:[after getting shot with an arrow] Hey... Will ya look at that? It's right through me. Guys, look. It's cut a hole right through me.
Schutz:There's something wrapped around it. Some kind of note.
Manute:Give it to me.
Stuka:Guys, this is starting to really hurt. Just look at it. It's poked a hole right through me. Guys?
Manute:[reading the note] McCarthy, you fool.
Stuka:Guys , don't you think maybe somebody oughta call a doctor for me or something? This isn't the kind of thing you just ignore, guys.
Manute:Out back. Everyone. Bring the women.
Stuka:Guys?
57. John Hartigan :There's wrong, and there's wrong, and there's *this*.
58. John Hartigan:When it comes to reassuring a traumatized 19-year-old, I'm about as expert as a palsy victim doing brain surgery with a pipe wrench.
59. Marv:He never screams. Even after the dog has its fill and his guts are hanging out, he never screams.
60. Dwight:I tell little Miho what has to be done. Then I?ll make the most important phone call in my life.
61. Dwight: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.
62. Dwight: She doesn't quite chop his head off. She makes a Pez dispenser out of him.
63. Priest:...ask yourself if that corpse of a slut is worth dying for.
Marv:Worth dying for.
[shoots priest]
Marv:Worth killing for.
[shoots him again]
Marv:Worth going to hell for.
[shoots him again]
Marv:Amen.
64. Marv:I know it's pretty damn weird to eat people.
65. [repeated line]
Marv: That there is one damn fine coat you're wearin'.
66. Gail:[to the Oldtown Girls] We'll fight the cops, the mob, and anybody else who tries to move in on us. We'll go to war .
Dwight:Don't be stupid, Gail. Get me a car.
Gail:Who do you think you are? You got what you wanted out of us.
[Gail puts the gun to his face]
Gail:You got what you wanted out of me.
Dwight:If I don't make it back, you can have your war.
[Dwight and Gail kiss]
Dwight:[to Miho] get me a hardtop with a decent engine and make sure it's got a big trunk.
[to Gail]
Dwight:I love you baby.
Gail:Always and never.
67. [voiceover]
John Hartigan:I take away his weapon.
[shoots Junior's hand]
John Hartigan:[pauses] Both of them.
[shoots Junior's groin]
68. Dwight:Most people think Marv is crazy. He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century. He 'd be right at home on some ancient battlefield swinging an axe into somebody's face. Or in a Roman arena, taking his sword to other gladiators like him. They woulda tossed him girls like Nancy back then.
69. Marv:I check the list . Rubber tubing, gas, saw, gloves, cuffs, razor wire, hatchet, Gladys, and my mitts.
70. Brian:Want the head there, sweetheart? Come and get it!
[Dwight jumps into the sewer, guns blazing]
Brian:I coulda put a bullet in your ear just now, laddy, if I hadn't gone off and got me revolver all wet and useless.
[big explosion]
Brian:Better come clean with ya now, sweetheart. That was an outright lie I was giving ya about me revolver.
71. Marv:I'll stare the bastard in the face as he screams to God, and I'll laugh harder when he whimpers like a baby. And when his eyes go dead, the hell I send him to will seem like heaven after what I've done to him.
72. Dwight:My warrior woman. My Valkyrie. You'll always be mine, always and never. Never. The Fire, baby. It'll burn us both. It'll kill us both. there's no place in this world for our kind of fire. Always and never. If I have to die for you tonight, I will.
73. Marv:[at his own execution] Would you hurry it up? I haven't got all night.
74. Dwight:Get that gun out of my face, Gail.
75. John Hartigan: And after I pull off that miracle, maybe I'll go punch out God.
76. Marv: That's the thing with dames, sometimes all they gotta do is let it out and a few buckets later there's no way you'd know.
77. Dwight:It wasn't "Stop." Shellie wasn't saying "Stop." If I had waited and listened to her, I would've known. I could've warned the girls to go easy. To settle for scaring them off. Shellie didn't say "Stop," she said "Cop." He's a *cop*. Detective Lieutenant Jack Rafferty. "Iron Jack" the papers call him. A goddamn *hero cop*
78. Wendy:You sat there and took it... when you could've taken my gun away from me any time you wanted to...
Marv:Sure, but I thought I might be able to talk some sense into you. And I probably would' ve had to paste you one, getting the gun and I don't hurt dames.
79. Yellow Bastard:[referring to 19-year-old Nancy] A little old for my taste, but I can forgive that just this once!
80. Yellow Bastard:[to Hartigan] My dad-I'd love him if I didn't *hate* him! He spent a fortune hiring every expert on the planet to grow back that equipment you blew off between my legs! He succeeded, although, as you can see, there were side effects...
81. Yellow Bastard:[on the phone] And it'd better be perfect or I'm gonna call my dad!
82. Marv:I've been framed for murder and the cops are in on it. But the real enemy, the son of a bitch who killed the angel lying next to me, he's out there somewhere, out of sight, the big missing piece that'll give me how and the why and a face and a name and a soul to send screaming into hell.
83. Shellie: You brought your whole pack with you? None of these losers got lives they gotta hang with you?
84. Dwight:There's no use arguing with her, the ladies are their own enforcers.
85. Gail:Those boys in that Chrysler are one mistake away from seeing what Miho can do, And she' been aching for some practice.
Dwight:She guides my glance upwards to the pixy person on the roof's edge. Deadly little Miho.
86. Shellie:Wish you would've dropped by earlier, Jackie Boy. Then you could've met my boyfriend, Could've seen what a real man looks like.
87. Shellie:Somebody? Jackie Boy, it's a regular African love fest in here. I got me all five starters and half of Basin City Blues keeping me company.
88. Shellie:Forget it, man, You can bang on that door *all* night if you want. There's no way in hell I'm letting you in.
89. Shellie:Shut up and keep your hands to yourself or I'll cut your little pecker off.
90. John Hartigan:You're just a horny ex con watching an exotic dancer.
91. Shellie:On a night like this everybody's looking for somebody stranger.
92. Jack Rafferty:What are you gonna do when you run out of gas, call Triple A? You sucker for the babes.
93. [Dwight is driving to The Pits]
Jack Rafferty:...sccaught you ssmokinggthere, bud.
Dwight: You shut the hell up, Jackie-Boy. You're dead. I'm just imagining this, so shut the hell up.
Jack Rafferty:...Hntells you somethin'bout your sstate a'mind don't it?... Ss'got you hearin things'got yer nerves shot. S'got you ssmoking... You know it's truuuuuuue nobody ever really quitsss... Smoker's a smoker when the chips're downn and your chips're down, pretty much

Dwight: You shut the hell up... I'll make it.
Jack Rafferty:Not unless you keep your eyess on the road, sshugar-pie...
[shouts]
Jack Rafferty:Watch it!
Dwight:[Dwight swerves to miss an oncoming car. Jackie-Boy falls onto Dwight's arm, leaning on him]
Jack Rafferty:Ahh this is grrreatt, s'just like being in a buddy movie. Heheheheh...
Dwight:Shut Up!
[flings Jackie-Boy off of him]
Jack Rafferty:Hehehe
[cop on a motorcycle follows them]
Jack Rafferty:Oh, you're screwed. It's over
[lights cigarette]
Jack Rafferty:You're flushed.
Dwight:This time I can't bring myself to tell him to shut up. Sure he's an asshole... Sure he's dead... Sure I'm just imagining that he's talking. None of that stops the bastard from being absolutely right . I don't have a chance in hell of outrunning this cop. Not in this heap. The only question left is whether I'm gonna kill him or not. Tough call. For all I know, he's an honest cop, regular guy . Working stiff with a mortgage, a wife and a pile of kids. My hand moves all on its own, sliding on of my guns to my lap and thumbing back the hammer. I don't know what to do...
Jack Rafferty :You better stopp, you're making him mad.
Dwight:...Whatever you say...
[slams on the brakes, smashing Jackie-Boy's head into the dashboard]
94. Senator Rourk:Tell anybody the truth and they're dead!
95. Marv:I had to fight some cops.
Lucille:Oh, that's lovely. You didn't happen to kill any of them, did you?
Marv:Nah, I don't think so, but they know they been in a fight, that's for sure.
96. John Hartigan:An old man dies. A young girl lives. A fair trade. I love you, Nancy.
97. Cardinal Roark:What the hell do you know...
Marv:I know it's pretty damn weird to eat people.
98. Marv:She smells like angels ought to smell. The perfect woman. The goddess.
99. Nancy, Age 11: They won't let me testify. I told the cops that you saved my life and they just acted like I was crazy. They talked my parents into keeping me away. They said that you done things that you didn't do. I told them that you saved me from that Roark, but they won't even check me out to see if I'm still a virgin. I'm still a virgin, still alive... thanks to you. They got it all backwards.
John Hartigan:Sometimes the truth doesn't matter like it ought. But you'll always remember things right. That's gonna mean a lot to me. But stay away, Nancy. They'll kill you you do not Stay Away IF. from Visit the do not Me. not the do the Write Me. the even the do not say My name.
Nancy, Age 11
