The plasma that filled the whole article did not give me the feeling of being too violent, perhaps because the red blood did not appear many times. Coupled with a large number of external voices, it seems to always remind you that you are just a bystander, so it is even less able to experience the so-called violent aesthetics of the masters.
Basically, this film is three stories, each with its own main line, only some overlap in secondary characters, so it is a bit far-fetched to say how much they are related.
Among the three stories, I still prefer Marv's story. It is simply a story of a man taking revenge for a woman. Marv firmly sticks to his decision, even if he knows Goldie's motives, he just uses him, and he still doesn't change his original intention. In the end, after a happy revenge, he also left with Goldie, leaving only a touch of red in his eyes that night.
Dwight McCarthy's story is unflattering in terms of timing, as Hartigan's story comes out first and leaves a lot of suspense and anticipation. Marv's story is the first complete story, and the fight scenes are more eye-catching. Therefore, Dwight McCarthy's appearance is somewhat tasteless in terms of time, so the director used a lot of beautiful women to fill the scene. Gail's firmness, Becky's wavering, Miho's coldness. The beauties did everything they could to attract the audience and finally won the battle to defend the old city.
And then it was time to unravel the suspense. For me, the attractiveness of many beauties in front of me is not as attractive as this person, that is Jessica Alba, but I still can't accept playing opposite Bruce Willis. Needless to say, the age gap is not as good as Bruce Willis personally. I don't even like him when I haven't seen any of his plays, maybe because of his failed marriage with Moore. Fortunately, they haven't done too much, and it's good that Jessica finally rejected the director's request for a nude scene.
The tone of the film is black, the tone is black, and the ending is not very bright. Two of the three stories end with the death of the protagonist, and the only one that wins, only wins the right to continue living in the dark.
Sin City, the crime will continue, the story will come again, let's wait for the next darkness to come.

Sin City quotes

  • John Hartigan: I'm looking for Nancy Callahan.

    Shellie: Eyes to the stage, pilgrim. She's just warming up.

  • [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!
