This is a movie adapted from Miller's comics. He is divided into three small stories. This is Quentin's style. He likes to narrate in chapters. Although there are three different stories, the three stories are actually related. This is called "circular narrative", and this creative method is worth learning from.
The tone and style at the beginning of the film are all black and white, with a small amount of color appearing, which highlights the red blood, yellow monsters, blue eyes, etc. This contrasting tone has a strong comic effect. The style will also make it easier to capture the audience's point of view in the plot.
As long as Quentin is involved, this strong personal style lingers, bloody violence, and a sense of humor. The male protagonists of these three stories are all cool. Cool and handsome here is an attitude. They are the so-called tough guys, but under the tough exterior, they have a so romantic heart. Nothing is more moving than this. .
The first story is that in order to protect the little girl Nancy, the police sacrificed his life, reputation, family, everything, just for love, stubbornly fighting against the yellow monster and the Senate behind him, and finally In order to let Nancy escape, he swallowed the gun; the second story is very short, leaving me only the paragraph when they met, as romantic as a poem; the third story is the alliance of women, the fugitive with plastic surgery, My favorite part is of course Miho. Quentin always uses Japanese elements in such a cool and mysterious way. After watching Kill Bill, I have an inexplicable love for Japanese swords.
The core of the story is romance, especially in such a sinful environment, romance is as fascinating as the bright red in black and white.
The visual beauty of Sin City is beyond words. It has a comic style, but it is also a real scene. Many of the composition and framing give people the feeling of watching audio comics, which is very special and beautiful.
Finally, I want to say that after watching the romance, I feel more and more the essence of Quentin's romance. I didn't expect that the ghost with a hippie smile would also have a romantic heart.
