After 20 years, this innovative battle movie is still holding
The first twenty-five years of the 21st century cinema prevailed largely at the comics. While superhero is obscured by almost everything else that comes out of the comic book carrier Frank Miller‘s Sin city It is a rare example of the fact that the title that has not invaded is broken into the mainstream.
Miller made his mark in the comic book industry with his seminar jogging on Marvel’s Bravery and its transformation reception Batman DC in Dark knight returns and Batman: First Year. Until 1991, Miller started telling his own stories in Sin cityBlack and White Comix Nuar Crime that attracted the senior readers, including the director Robert Rodriguez.
Rodriguez was such an ardent comic book supporter that he provided the right to adapt Sin city For a big screen, and he invited Miller to take an immediate role in making the movie. April 1, 2005, Sin city The theaters opened and briefly paid attention to Hollywood from the superhero from $ 158.7 million against the $ 40 million budget.
Twenty years later, Sin city This is rather a deviation than a harbinger of future things. But while Hollywood’s obsession with comics were concentrated mainly on superpowers and spandexes, the film demonstrated all the creative capabilities of the genre and how he could like more than just a teenage boy.
Welcome to the big city

Like the comic that gave rise to it, Sin city It takes place in a fictional place called the Siti swimming pool, a city that has driven into the dark and corruption. In this city, most police officers are dirty and criminals play for maintenance. The only justice that is given to the city is a sin that they accept for themselves. And in this world is rarely a happy ending.
The film was divided into several adaptations of Miller’s autonomous stories, with an amazing ensemble actor, including Bruce Willis. Jessica Alba. Mickey Rurke. Benisio del Toro. Brittany Murphy. Klave Owen. Alexis Bledel and Elijah Wood. These performers rushed into this world, and some even allowed the makeup department to turn them into comics colleagues as close as possible, even if it meant to add uncomfortable makeup on their faces.
Visual materials are amazing

In addition to the actors and their performances, the biggest draw in this film is his incredible visual. A lot of scenes seem as if they had been removed directly from Sin city comic book. The film also retained black and white comic aesthetics with limited color use throughout. By giving no specific spoilers when you see the color in this movie, it usually means something important.
Most superhero directors seem to be strongly dragging the comic book world to our sad reality. Sin city Makes the exaggerated nature of Miller’s visuals, it seems at home in the movie without losing the appearance of an environment that inspired the movie. If Sin city They were tried purely on the views alone, this film is considered a work of art.
This gathered three very different artists

Rodriguez became convinced that Miller was constantly present on the set and that he said how his creation was presented. However if Sin city He was going to be released with Miller and Rodriguez, exhibited as a co-director, the guild of directors of America refused to allow them to share merit because of their archaic rules.
Miller reportedly refused Rodriguez’s proposal to take full loan, and the latter did not want to take all the merit. After all, Rodriguez resigned from DGA, so he did not need to link his rules. Him and the Miller billed as a co -director, and Quentin Tarantino He even received a special guest director of the loan on the wild stage he had. This stage was presented by Dwight McCarty (Owen), talking to a dead police officer, Jack Pura (del Toro), while the first tried to order the corpse of the second.
Previous Tarantino’s films like Cellullar and A tank dogs may inspired the tone on Sin cityTherefore, it was attached that he was attributed to a small piece of the movie.
Actors bring human touch to their roles

Due to the nature of the stories that are told in the film, none of the heroes presented in it is what anyone would call “normal”. But the actors brought congenital humanity to their roles, and Bruce Willis Harrtigan’s detective became a great example of the necessary human touch. At this point, he was most of the roles of Willis’s battle films, and this made it an extraordinary choice for the embodiment of Harcan’s clutch and his unanimous pursuit of Nancy Kalahan’s protection (Jessica Alba) at any cost.
Sin city also came out to Mickey RurkeA great return to FightBut it is perfect as a marva sawdust, which is the closest that this movie has a hero except Harcan. Conversely, Wood is incredibly awful as a silent serial killer named Kevin. This role was the opposite of the Woods turn as innocent Frodo Bogins Lord of the Rings trilogy.
Lightning did not hit twice

Thank you success Sin cityMiller was offered more management opportunities. The largest solo project on which Miller landed was the adaptation of the 2008 live action Spiritclassic comic Will Eisner. Miller throws the future Costume star Gabriel Maht in the main role and surrounded it with big stars, including Samuel L. Jackson. Eve Mendes and Scarlet Johansson.
Miller also tried to recreate the appearance Spirit comic books like u with Rodriguez Sin cityBut his efforts collapsed, and the film was a critical fool and a scythe. Rodriguez and Miller reunited in 2014 for Sin City: Lady Kill And although most actors returned for the sequel, he just couldn’t return the lightning in the bottle that first Sin city was.
Twenty years later, Sin cityThe influence was somewhat reduced over time. But the original movie remains one of the best examples of the comic book cinema today. Few other comic book adaptations dared to stay so close to the original material, and the movie was better for that.
