We all know that in the past few years between the release of the two films, comic-style photography has been abused by films such as "Three Hundred Warriors" and "Spartacus". This is the second episode of the film. The biggest reason that makes the audience lose their freshness.
Even so, Ewa's story is still very exciting. What I regret most is that it was not included in the first episode of the movie. If it is paid for and replaces the story of "The Big Fat Kill", then the whole movie will become the masterpiece of the masterpiece, and the Eva played by Eva Green will definitely become the first decade of the 21st century. The most memorable femme fatale image.
Today when the movie theme of Sin City has come to an end, let’s not forget the timeline of 1-4 of the comics. These are the four best-looking stories in the two movies; I will also point out that the comics and movies are in the plot. Some similarities and differences.
Stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba) is the only character who appears in all four stories, so she can help organize the timeline.
The fourth book "That Yellow Bastard" is the story of the old police officer Hardigan (Bruce Willis) in the first film. Nancy was still young when he played, so this is obviously the earliest of all stories.
Hardigan’s partner Bob, played by Michael Madsen in the first part, shot him several times when Hardigan rescued Nancy, almost killing him.
When Hardigan found in prison that he could no longer receive a letter from Nancy, he had no choice but to confess his guilt in exchange for a chance for parole. A plot from the comic is deleted from the movie: The female parole officer Lucille (played by Carla Gugino) thought he was wronged and imprisoned and wanted to help him; therefore, when he learned that he actually wanted to confess his sins, Unusually angry, this shows her righteous attributes. This parole officer is the one who helped the protagonist Marvel (played by Mickey Rock) in the story of "The Hard Goodbye".
It was Bob at the gate of the prison to greet Hardigan's release from prison. In the movie, Hardigan no longer cares about his shooting at himself. In the comics, he was greeted by a police officer named Mott. Mott was more upright and tried to help Hardigan redress the grievances, but like the female parole officer, Hardigan was also rejected.
After that, Hardigan came to the Katie Bar where Nancy was, and found that Nancy had grown up and had excellent dancing skills. Here in the comics, Marvel and Dwight (played by Cliff Owen in the first episode of the movie, and Josh Brolin in the second episode) appear on the screen for the first time on the timeline. . Muffle is paying attention to Nancy's dance, while Dwight is in a period of sinking, thinking of his love baby who has left cruelly.
After a period of plot, Hardigan sneaks into Senator Locke's manor to rescue Nancy. At this time we saw Evan, the first male master in the book and also a perverted ogre.
After Hardigan rescued Nancy, in order to save her from trouble, he committed suicide by drinking a bullet and became the second tough guy hero in the whole series of comics (the first title is still given to Marvel). Although Dwight has been the protagonist three times in the seven books in the whole series of Sin City, his charm is still not as good as Marver and Hadigan, who have only been each once.
After Hardigan's death, the plot of Dwight and Maver began to unfold. The story of Dwight and Eva ("A Dame to Kill for") happened before Muffle. When Dwight first entered Eva's mansion, he even called Muffle to help. Muffle lived up to expectations and slapped the big black Manuel in the nursing home (played by Dennis Haysbert in the second episode of the movie). Later, Dwight was seriously injured and was taken to the prostitutes in the old city by Marvel for treatment. Some prostitutes do not welcome Dwight, including twin sisters Hua Gedi and Wendy who will have trouble with Marvel later, and the Japanese girl Miho dressed as a ninja, the first female master in the book (the first episode is written by Devon · Played by Aoki, played by Jamie Chung in the second episode). By the way, Miho’s appearance in the second episode of the movie is much higher than that in the first episode, but the action is very dull. The most revealing thing is that her posture of closing the knife is completely wrong, the director, why did you go?
Next, Ma Fu's own story ("The Hard Goodbye") also began. After Dwight recovered from his injury, he changed his face and drove to the Eva mansion to avenge his revenge.
While Dwight was recovering from his injuries, Eva seduced Mott, the police officer who had a sense of justice and picked Hardigan out of prison. Mott did not withstand the temptation this time and fell into beauty. His depraved trajectory is almost a reappearance of Dwight. Mott’s partner is Bob (played by Jeremy Piven in the second episode), who used to partner with Hardigan, a corrupt detective who takes refuge in Locke. But this time Bob may be quite calm because he only has interests and no women in his eyes, pointing out all the mistakes Mott made and the fact that Eva is a bitch. In a rage, Mott shot and killed Bob. Considering that Bob once shot continuously behind Hardigan, his death cannot arouse too much sympathy from the readers. But his corpse awakened Mott. Mott realized that he had committed an irreparable mistake and committed suicide. The significance of Mott's story is to set off Dwight; Mott's complete sinking makes Dwight's comeback more impactful.
The reborn Dwight's martial arts soared, singled out Manuite victory, and successfully resisted the last temptation of Eva, truly became a tough guy, the valuable thing is that he still has a super moral sense, which will be seen in the next story Performance.
Marvel's story is my favorite, but unfortunately it is the first in a series of comics, so it has almost no intersection with other stories. Since this article is discussing the timeline, there is really not much to talk about about Marvel's story, except that the female parole officer broke into the timeline again and died tragically under the gun after shining for a short period of time. In short, he did what Hardigan dared not hope to do: let the evil Bishop Lock get his due end. Now the Rock family is the only Senator Locke alone.
Then it is Dwight's second story "The Big Fat Kill". In addition to people like Dwight and the Old Town prostitutes, we are familiar with the old faces Manuit, who was shot several times in the previous story but did not die (played by Michael Clark Duncan in the first episode of the movie). He took refuge in Warrenqvist, the ugly gang leader who tried to marry Eva after he smashed her husband, and attempted to take over the old city. But this time, under the ambush of the prostitutes, he died in a rain of bullets.
Dwight’s performance in this story is not uniform. He was originally a person with a super moral sense, never killed people at will, and tried to prevent others from killing meaninglessly. He was righteous in "A Dame to Kill for". Said awe-inspiringly: As long as I am here, no one is allowed to kill. When the prostitutes tried to kill the rogue Jackie, he felt this was wrong: Jackie didn't kill, he shouldn't just die like this. After that, he only looked at the prostitutes, hacked them in various ways, and slaughtered them at the end of the story. Although he acted unfettered and refreshed, he also lost the moral superiority he tried to maintain. Dwight’s image is weaker than Marvel and Hadigan, and is often swayed by others; unlike Marvel and Hadigan, who is always at the center of the picture, allowing the world to revolve around them, especially Muffle. Dwight is a civilian hero. Maybe he can't make us admire him like Marvel and Hardigan, but we will find him easier to get close to.
The summary of the timeline of Sin City comes to an end here. By the way, I recommend the comics of Sin City, which is definitely worth watching. At first glance, you may feel that it is inferior to the movie, but the more you watch it, the more it tastes, and it has more depth than the movie, and the characters and details are more delicate and moving.
