"Sin City" is definitely a very stylized movie. However, this stylization seems to have no inevitable connection with the quality of the movie. The black and white images and the embellishment-like gorgeous colors bring power to the audience. The visual impact. Of course, "Sin City 2" is not as full and excellent as the version of 1 from any angle. Perhaps it is because 1 is too perfect, and 2 is full of patchwork. Whether it is the character of the character and the arrangement of the storyline, it makes people Feel thin and hollow. What makes me most dissatisfied in "Sin City 2" is the characterization of Ma Fu. Of course, apart from the content, "Sin City 2" still has a lot of beauty in terms of form.
The beauty of the picture: "Sin City 2" still uses a lot of black and white contrast to describe the characteristics of the space, which makes the movie retain the same feeling as the comics, and the appropriate use of bright colors can make the characters more vivid, although a little abrupt. . For example, Eva Green’s red lips and blue eyes strongly and intuitively express Ava’s mood swings, not only can highlight the character’s viciousness and ghosts, but also make Eva’s sexy performance more heartily.
The beauty of the lens: In addition to the characters, "Sin City 2" uses a lot of virtual scene shooting methods in the shooting of the environment. The extensive use of computer special effects in the later period makes the lens more exaggerated and expressive. When the audience is watching Can be infected by extreme expressions. Especially those undisguised "pornography" and unmodified "violence."
The beauty of language: There are very few dialogues in "Sin City 2", instead a lot of monologues. This design gives the film a little more literary temperament. Especially the inner monologue of the characters, although the rhythm is slow, it clearly explains the direction of the whole story and the psychological changes of the characters. This intensity can make people feel the helplessness and sadness in the city of sin.
From the very beginning, the whole movie vividly demonstrated Rodriguez and Miller's violent aesthetics. The exaggerated fighting action, the coherent sparring action and all kinds of cruel death methods are all exciting. As a movie with full visual impact, violence is an essential element. Especially in today's popular commercial films, any element that can bring box office or controversy will be widely used. As a special cultural industry, film not only provides the audience with valuable film works and conveys the core of positive thoughts, but also requires limited investment in exchange for the greatest economic benefits.
In addition to the violent elements, the large number of surrealist details in the film also make people feel in a ghostly nightmare, switching back and forth between illusion and reality, and walking freely between coldness and sin, everything seems to be Existing on the edge of hell, one step forward is the abyss, and the next step is the cliff. This extreme design makes people unconsciously enter a situation completely separated from reality. It is precisely because of the existence of surreal elements that the madness in "Sin City" is shockingly portrayed. Indeed, the most intuitive feelings of the whole movie are violence and pornography. However, under these playful skins, there is also a disillusionment of hypocritical morality.
