This film can be said to perfectly show the atmosphere and style of the original comics; whether it is a flexible lens application, a self-contained aesthetic photography, a surging compact soundtrack, or occasionally infiltrated with stunning colors The black-and-white images of the movie show the weird, violent and violent Sin City across the sky, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in it.

This is the best of many recent adaptations in Hollywood. Its greatest advantage is not in the re-creation of the adaptation plot to enhance the drama, nor in the performance of a real person, which resembles the characters in the comics; but the directors have successfully refined the most attractive and core element of the original work, that is, the sin. The depiction of the city itself, through the perfect coordination of editing, directing, filming, and sound, makes the various characteristics of the sin city in the original work, such as casual violence, imaged in a more contagious state.

Maybe friends who haven't watched it will be afraid that the violence of the film is more than real. If you are not a comic book fan, it will be more difficult to devote yourself to the more exaggerated violent plot. It's just that in addition to adding rationality to the story through the promotion of the plot to allow the audience to invest, the atmosphere creation is actually a less visible but more convincing method for the audience. Obviously, this film focuses on the latter. Through the creation of an excellent sin city atmosphere, the audience can be substituted into the situation of this extraordinary city. The audience can be convinced directly from the heart rather than the brain. The violence of the people in the play is forced to make them even Undoubtedly, consider and invest in the whole process.

Furthermore, the combination of black and white pictures and bloody violence originally had an unusual chemical effect; in simple terms, boys can see that the protagonist knight kills more refreshingly, while girls are at least not deterred from many scenes.

In addition, the film selects three original stories: "sin city", "The Big Fat Kill" and "The Yellow Bastard" as the main plot, and adopts a three-stage narrative method, and the three surfaces are not related to each other. The stories that happened at different times are presented in a complete and unified tone-the faces of all beings in the crime city. The characters and scenes in different stories are naturally intertwined in the three stories from time to time; seemingly unintentional to give the audience a little surprise while deepening the audience’s feeling of the city’s beings, and through both the people and things in the city It depicts the image of Sin City in a more three-dimensional manner, thereby further narrowing the distance between the audience and the city, as if the audience is transformed into a neighborhood in the crime city, which enhances the sense of substitution.

Talk about the content of the story. The three stories have a unified tone but each has its own characteristics: "The Year of the Dragon" and "Nine and a half weeks" actor Mickey. "Sin city" starring Rocky is the most violent, stylish and fun.

"Alluring" actor Chirieff. "The Big Fat Kill" starring Owen is the most beautiful, the most cult and the most "kill bill". Don't forget the bow and arrow tricks of Toyo swords and darts.

Needless to say, "The Yellow Bastard" starring Busswillis is the most poignant and profound. It is especially important to pay attention to the following sentence, which is as follows: "The greatest power is to let everyone know a lie. It’s a fact that has to be admitted.” This kind of condescending influence is actually a kind of spiritual violence, which is far more terrifying than physical violence, because we are all from Booth. In the ending of Willis's submission and confession, he sees which one is the final victor of violence. At the same time, this faintly made a summary response to the extreme violence of the whole film.

Summarizing the whole film, the excellent performance of the various production units, including editing, directing, acting, filming, and sound, makes "Sin city" full of atmosphere, innovative style, and trend-leading style charm. Among them, the bold and extraordinary color light black and white photography is by no means an ordinary slant gimmick, but it is a profound setting that greatly increases the viewing value of this film. The only flaw is that the film is too loyal to the original, almost as if the original script is fully imaged, which makes the monologue too much and weakens the smoothness created by many flexible shots and editing shapes, and it impresses the film. The footsteps of one floor.
