The Art of Sin (2006.3.10)

The English name of "Jedi Men" is "Bad Boys". Here, "bad" is used to describe the protagonist’s wit and courage and cute humor, but I don’t feel like using good. The first reaction after watching the movie "sin city" is this movie. True art, the second reaction is to modify this art with sin—the art of sin.

Obviously, the violent style of the film is influenced by the characteristics of the comics and Quentin, and there is a kind of horror of transcendence. After watching for a long time, the cruel inertia makes people not only "come and settle down", but also feel a kind of imagination. Satisfaction and heartfelt use to crazy chic. The film consists of the three central characters in the story of policeman Hattigan (Bruce Willis), policeman Marvo (Mickey Rocky) and the recently retired social journalist DeWitt (Clive Owen). With the addition of Josh Harnett's performance at the beginning and the end, the story as a whole is chaotic, but it is precisely that "art brings logic and order to chaos". The interpretation of black and white and the bloody distribution from beginning to end have always made people breathe the crime and darkness deeply. Everything makes people feel desperate. I don’t know if the comic author Frank Miller has a persistent and pessimistic attitude towards society, but I think Perhaps it is this kind of extreme magnification of evil that determines the truth of art. The absurd expressiveness is touching and even intoxicating. However, all despair cannot prevent people from pursuing truth, goodness and beauty. Here, the pale form of the film The tension of the game formed with the content praising the truth, the good and the beauty climbed to Mount Everest.

"All actions are motivated by emotions rather than speculation." However, in the face of surrealism, this sentence is not entirely correct. The three male protagonists all started a series of killings out of a certain "love" for women. , But this kind of love is not at the level of emotional meaning. Perhaps as the phrase “the innovation of any culture is above all a breakthrough in the emotional model, it is the arrest of the vanguard of love breaking the old order and opening the way for a new culture”, so we Can still understand them and treat them strangely as heroes-they shouldn't exist in sin city. Therefore, I think one of the highlights of the film is that Robert Rodriguez used unconventional ways to simultaneously create several different styles of heroes. The old policeman Hattigan always flashed those angry and determined eyes, and finally completed the elimination of Yellow Jack rhythmically. Although the final suicide is sighing, we know that Nansi is safe, and a period of continuous development has been changed. The unclear love came to an end. In sorrow, we sighed with the protagonist, and the aftertaste was endless. The vitality of the great macho can melt the glaciers of the Antarctic. He is indeed ugly and barbaric, but that quasi-infatuation will surely shock countless girls. The final death is so bold and confident, and these are all prostitutes and bloodshed. , Cannibalism, numbness, car crash and other keywords. The face of Owen "like an ancient heroic warrior" seems to imply his pursuit of purity and nobility. He hates the police Jackie. The boy is disrespectful to girls, but he still "awakens" Jackie in the car and talks with him, making people I think he is handsome, and there is also fun in it. Linghu Chong's chic and powerful with all the beauties is reminiscent of Linghu Chong, but the latter would never dare to kiss his lover so fiercely after the enemy's defeat. Suddenly remember that Nan Huaijin wrote: "Heroes can conquer the world, but they cannot conquer themselves; the saints do not want to conquer the world, but conquer themselves. The heroes leave their troubles to others to pick out, and the saints are the ones who provoke the troubles of the people of the world. "Suddenly felt that the protagonists are not heroes, they are saints! Of course I can’t describe my feelings with ingenuity, and I dare not complain that great language is impoverished, so I found the word sin and put it in front of amazing art. For some reason, I particularly like the appearance of Josh Harnett one after another. Just like the title of the comic story, "the hard goodbye" makes everyone feel so sentimental, especially the red surprise at the beginning. I can't help but think of the innocent little girl in red in "Schindler's List". It is so sigh.

My position is obvious. I am quite certain about the use of violence in this film. I personally think that if violence is used by default, then how to use it determines the degree of this beauty. Beauty is a feeling, and it does not necessarily have to be like "beauty is divided into beauty and magnificence" as Wang Guowei said. With the wheel of history rolling to this day, I think the human experience should also become breakthrough and super diverse. Just like the accident brought to us by this film, the violence of only ruthless black and white or disgusting yellow must be a kind of beauty, because in it, the individual performance and the eternal question of "how is society possible" emerge as well as new styles. The relationship between people and society is poisonous flowers, which exudes endless aftertaste after the film that doesn't seem to be long enough.

At the end of the article, I, as always, brought out my seemingly feminist views. The film is male, but I think that as an expression of sin, using women to express "guilty" may have a more brilliant effect, and the violent warrior Mie's coldness is also quite conventional. To achieve further transcendence, it cannot be done. Standing on a man who seems to have violent attributes, but the fit with fashion must be maintained, because the deep eyes and cool hair such as Owen are really beautiful.
