Brilliant..No Pulp fiction BUT Brilliant

Rating: Null/10 (1 April 2005)

Ladies and gentle I've just watched Sin City and i think the movie is absolutely gorgeous. Id give it an 8/10, unlike Pulp Fiction which i had given 9/10! but i don't think you all would care about my grading. I really recommend this movie to everybody BUT not to those who cannot stand visceral violence in a movie. Yes it is violent, Yes it is fun BUT is it a must watch? for movie fans it is... for the people who enjoyed White Chicks and AVP please stay away from this movie.
Set in a nowhere metropolis, the film opens with a gaspingly beautiful image of a woman staring into the night. Dressed in a shimmering gown the color of newly spilled blood, she stands with her back to the camera, oblivious. That gives us time to register that this red is the only color in a landscape exclusively painted hot white, bottomless black and silvery gray. It also gives the narrator (Josh Hartnett) time to creep up on her.
"Sin City" unfolds in a permanent midnight with only an intermittent splash of color to brighten the dark. In this shadow-land, the men wear trench coats and chips on their shoulders, while the women wear next to nothing at all. Aesthetically speaking, the filmmakers have a thing for pneumatic breasts and bondage wear, and the women in "Sin City" are conceived along the same fetishistic lines.
Like "Pulp Fiction," which clearly influences its structure, "Sin City" turns on three tales lifted out of Mr. Miller's original.
Sin City" has been made with such scrupulous care and obvious love for its genre influences. Mr. Rodriguez put his own movie sense on hold, not even bothering with a real script. He didn't just try to make his "Sin City" look like a graphic novel: he tried to replicate the private experience of reading one too, slowly turned page after slowly turned page. The problem is, this is his private experience, not ours.
Enjoy this!! -Favin Wayans a.k.a paradox
