Sin City 2 with style and no spirit

My eyes are so tired, I didn't have such an uncomfortable experience when I watched 1. In fact, I don't like this so-called restored comic style. The most inexplicable is the black and white Joseph and the colorful prostitute (an irrelevant character). The contrast is indeed Vivid, but there is no other meaning other than to prove the director's skills, and other colorful elements appear extremely willful and irregular: the text on the neon lights, the tail lights of the car, Eva Green's eyes and red lips, etc., I have been thinking about what profound connotation this might represent, and then I felt that I thought too much, but the use of colors can hide some of the impetuousness of the plot.

The film consists of three intertwined stories: father and son, femme fatale, and the revenge of the showgirl. Apart from relying on Mickey Rourke and the bar to connect these three stories, there is no direct connection in them, and the timeline is also very chaotic. It may be better to tell them separately.

The most complete is Eva Green's "Femme fatale", but it is just a third-rate story on a bad street. The bodyguards, wealthy businessmen, and policemen who are played by the beauty are all stupid like donkeys, from the old city. The women's battle group, especially the knife-wielding one, is too defiant. After the whole nonsense story is over, only Eva's green, gleaming, bewitching eyes can leave a deep impression.

Jonsef's story was somewhat dramatic, but the development of the story was inexplicable, and it suddenly withered before almost reaching its climax, which made Lao Na feel a little surprised. If this story can be properly plump, it may be a little more interesting than "Femme fatale".

The most boring part is Jessica Alba. Alba, who has been writhing on the stage, has an impeccable figure, and old Bruce Willis also came out to make some soy sauce, but he still can't cover up the script. Too bad, it's very boring to concentrate on deducing Alba's inner changes for a long time. I finally mustered the courage to embark on the road of revenge. That part was shot like a joke. It is indeed a comic, but it is not a movie at all.

Compared with Sin City 1, the strange and confusing feeling that was shocking to the world back then has disappeared in 2. What remains is deliberate, dazzling skills, only lost in form and spirit, and emotionally given to Samsung. It's not worth this score, it's unacceptable for this series to go on like this, and it can end in this film.

    In 2005, it was a dark and cool high-cold style, and the story and characters were all great! But the second one, I waited for nine fucking years to show me this? ! The plot is full of flaws, and the logic is even less. Dwight became a sperm-brained idiot, and the actor was replaced by Josh Brolin, a dead facial paralysis. Eva Green is about to become a female version of Ivan and keeps taking off. 囧 Joseph's scene is a little abrupt. Gaga is surprisingly suitable for this style of painting.

    Ah, ah, green girl, come and trample me to death! ! ! ! Who else is more suitable for the role of femme fatale besides EVA, all the stars are given to EVA GREEN. The rest of the large monologues, the black and white violent scenes are as frequent as chopping watermelons and vegetables, and it is inevitable to be numb, and it is a little weak to watch in the middle of the night. JGL is really not suitable for the aura of this film, but Gaga is not very playful.

  • Dwight McCarthy: I've taken a beating before, but never anything like this. Never like this.

    [punch echoes]

    Dwight McCarthy: The sounds go wet. Maybe he keeps hitting me, I don't know. I'm gone. Gone to that place where there's no pain or thought. I wake up in mid air. The pavement rushes up to give me a big sloppy kiss.

  • Dwight McCarthy: You're insane.

    Ava Lord: No, Dwight. A crazy person would be anyone who belives me. And that would be you.
