Sin City Oh my God

wamphyr · 06-02-2005, 01:44 PM

Oh my god what a movie . I coudn't sleep at night afther i watched it. At first i thought : oh great yet another comic book movie, expecting all the "Good vs Evil where Good allways Wins" Fast Food melodrama

Oh boy i was in for a surprise.

Altho the cinematographic style is weird at first , gray beeing the dominant color and the scenery having a theatrical quality, you get used to it fast and not only that but it manages to convey and amplify the deep emotinal messages of this movie.

And speaking of emotions this movie has it and it is intense.

Rage, Suffering , Sacrifice , Sadism , Awe , Horror , Love , Hate.

Maybe i am just oversensitive but i was really impressed by this movie . Was i oversensitive ?

Play nice with the new members, kids.

At this point there are about 200 Sin City threads, so I'm not even going to bother trying to keep track of them all.

Thorpe · 06-02-2005, 02:43 PM

I can't wait for the sequel, or is it a prequel?

I'm completely neutral towards Sin City. Didn't like it, didn't dislike it. It rate it a raging "Ok".

I did pick up a "making of" book in the store the other day and the attention to detail and apparent exactness of the adaptation from comic to movie was astounding.

Neither, really. That Yellow Bastard is the earliest story in the timeline, and The Hard Goodbye is actually the end of it all (Marv's execution).

Sin City 2 will probably use A Dame to Kill For (starts between TYB and THG, then jumps ahead a few months into the time period between Marv's arrest and his execution in THG), Hell and Back (before TBFK), and Family Values (after TBFK).

There's also a bunch of really short stories that were compiled into Booze, Broads, and Bullets, but no clue how they'll work them into a movie. RR did say he intended to film all of Miller's stories though.

I would highly suggest reading the books if you liked the movie, just be aware that you'll spoil all the stories which haven't been filmed yet, since they'll almost certainly be put into the next movie panel for panel again. Knowing the whole plot didn't lessen my enjoyment of the first movie any, so I wouldn't worry about it.

Pretty sure it goes The Hard Goodbye > A Dame to Kill for > The Big Fat Kill > That Yellow Bastard > the rest that I don't have.

Vorph · 06-03-2005, 12:29 AM

That's the order of release, which is very different from the order things happen in the stories.

This movie is probably the benchmark for for many future films. Robert Rodriguez (Troublemaker films) only spent 40 million on Sin City's budget, the dialogue took 10 days and almost every scene was filmed in the studio or on LA's streets. The rest was put together in post production. Great movie, much better than ROTS

do we really have to be nice to the new guys? it seems that before a few days ago this board's retards were amusingly retarded. this is getting bad.

Charles · 06-03-2005, 12:40 PM

I personally don't think you were overly sensitive to this movie in the slightest.

Best movie named "Sin City" in the past 25 years, no doubt about it baby.

Millie · 06-03-2005, 12:44 PM

I'm a firm believer in message board sociology. When the environment of a given forum is intelligent, intelligent people will post there. When a forum is more or less hostile, retarded and haphazard, that's the kind of poster it produces in general.

Look at Screenshots, for example: The general attitude among the "old school" crowd there is that they run the place, and anyone who registered after them deserves nothing but flames (often retarded flames at that). So the new generation of posters coming up in that forum are being 'raised' retarded. It's the only way they've learned how to act.

If we start behaving that way here, we'll scare off any newly registered posters who might have something good to say but are too intimidated to say it. And the only ones left to post will be the retarded ones. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So yes, be nice to the new guys. Unless they actually do post stupid stuff. Innocent until proven guilty here.
