Violence + Art = Cinema Glory

Rating: 8/10 (4 April 2005)

Robert Rodriguez with Sin City creator Frank Miller took a vision and transformed it into reality. The film Sin City is a magnificent step forward in Cinema technology,the film utilizes current advancements in blue screen,by the makers of Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow, to bring out the comic like feel of the film. The entire movie can be considered art. Although many individuals will complain that Sin City is vulgar, sexist, and flat out wrong I argue that it is brilliant. It's a film that captures pure violence and shows that nobody can be a hero without breaking a few of the "good guy" rules.
The film in reality is 3 separate stories all taking place in Sin City and interweaving between one another. Each story containing it's own hero, whom is constantly being beaten and punished for doing the right thing. And each sadistic villain becoming worst as each is introduced. This is not tale of love, or a comedy, it is pure violence at its greatest. Each scene will have you wanting to look away but yearning for more. To not feel the pain these characters endure, and to not even comprehend the drive they have to look past their own well being to do what is right is a pity some will be blinded by the blood and violence and not even understand the characters. This film is phenomenal and should be watched by anybody that does not have a weak stomach. (9/10)
