Sin City- best movie ever

[oreogod]

Oh the color symbolism -- it should be directed on why Miller chose to do it in the books, everything colored in the books is colored in the movie exactly. Probably to bring some snap to the frames, to the scenes -- it just pops. I love this movie.

One thing I didn't get about parts of this movie were the color symbolism.

Because Quentin wanted to??

Haven't seen it yet but intend to.


Assume he's just being kinda clever.
It's the 'new' Noir.


One could also argue that it draws extra attention to the various areas, etc etc. But I would argue that it's just for general effect.
Not unlike a decision to show a bullet or other scene in slow-motion (or super-fast time-lapse photog motion like traffic or clouds zipping by) instead of just at regular speed.


I'll be interested to see how much I like it as I typically am repulsed by gimmicky cinematography....but I suspect I am going to like what they do with this film a LOT and, without having seen it, I might guess it has a shot for a couple of oscar nominations for editing, cinematography and the like.

Mickey Rourke had one hell of a story as well.

I thought tarantino only directed the part where owen is talking to benicio in the car.

this movie is like watching a comic book in motion, the stylized look didn't bother me cuz it made sense. unlike the incredible hulk movie that tried to edit it and do pic in pic which was just awful...

Not the best movie ever, but really good. I liked Dwight's storyline the best, but Marv was a close, close second.
Elijah Wood just freaked me out.
And Alba? I can't even put it into words. Good movie - I recommend it.

Saw it today. The cinemetography and gritty setting was awesome. Most of the acting was fairly simplistic, nothing impressive, but that worked for what the movie was trying to accomplish. I wouldn't go around saying best movie of the year or anything, I could have done with a little less Bruce Willis, and a little more Jessica Alba, but hey, it wasn't bad for a matinee. Also, you don't have to know anything about the original comicbook to enjoy this, because I certainly didn't.
