The handsome and handsome director Robert Rodriguez

Ever since I saw Desperado for the first time, I've been fascinated by the talent of young and recent director Robert Rodriguez. How can such a low-budget, small-budget film ($7 million is a low budget in Hollywood) be so good Absolutely unimaginable. It was later learned that Mariachi, El (1992), the first award-winning film that established his directorial career, cost $7,000 at the time.

Along the way he has made a series of blockbuster or Cult films, almost every one of them is a dazzling one, except for Once Upon a Time in Mexico, which doesn't show his talent.

This handsome director is like Wong Kar Wai always wears a hat or a headscarf like his sunglasses, as if he can't appear without these two props.

The director, who was born in Texas in 1968, seems to be born for movies, and every line in the movie is He has done everything from acting, writing, filming, post editing, sound effects, producing, composing to directing, and doing everything. If there is a wizard like him every few decades in the film festival, then Robert Rodriguez is A movie wizard with almost no predecessors (except his friend Quentin, of course, but Quentin's style is not the same as his). Only he can photograph the cult comic sin city that has influenced generations so far beyond imagination, so fantastic and so close to the texture and visual sense of comics.

Just look at the background shots of the continuous dark and gloomy city in the rain, and the beauty in the red dress and green eyes in front of the camera, the killer appears, the beauty is snatched into the killer's arms, the camera is pulled away, making Sin City The panorama is suffocatingly gloomy, but very bright, full of the unique feeling of comics. Such an opening is only one day from design to shooting, and you know that the director's talent is not exaggerated.
