Sin city is disturbing but genius: Violence plays a big part of the movie. There were mutated bodies, gore, blood and brutal killings. However, Robert Rodriguez, Frank Miller and Quentin Tarantino without a doubt have came up with a brilliant adaptation of the graphic novel. The film is somewhat a comic book brought to life. Film/Neo noir plays an important role as the film contains elements from such genre with a modern touch. Black and white yet blended with splashes of colors touched by the sophistication of technology. I was deeply engrossed to the storyline of the film: "The Hard Goodbye", "The Yellow Bastard" and "The Big Fat Kill". Frames were used in all scenes (It resembles the one found in comic books). A combination of great editing, famous celebrities (Jessica Alba, Bruce Willis, Clive Owen and Brittany Murphy) and several auteur have made this film a huge success. I reckon it is one of the best graphic novel adaptation so far. Since comic books adaptations are increasingly high in demand, the film industry finds way to cater the needs of audiences.
I highly recommend this film if your a movie lover. Not for those who is easily offended (Femme fatale in the film is an antagonist and yes, these female characters are usually bad. There is at least one femme fatale in every noir films) This would probably offend feminists. Not for those who would not be able to bear the sight of gore, body parts and blood as this film----> Would probably make you nauseous.
I finally completed the heavy film studies assignment. Visual test is next and I can't wait for the holidays:) There is just so much to be done. I'm currently putting all on hold. The final exams is getting closer. *yikes T.T
Alright, I need some rest now. Spent so much of time completing the assignment. Till then, Have a great night everyone:)
XOXO
