SAVING PRIVATE RYAN REACTION will be uploaded tomorrow! Enjoy the day!
Highly recommend some of Robert Rodriguez’s other movies. The Mariachi trilogy is awesome, especially Desperado. One of the all time great action movies.
Much respect. Favorite film of all time
Difficult film to watch
There are quite a few more fantastic noir stories in the comic series if you're interested, pretty sure they're collected on the cheap side and some are even printed in color. The whole premise is being a fly on the wall witnessing everything from the line "walk down the right back alley in sin city and you can find... ANYTHING" it's definitely worth a read because the batman take you picked out was conveniently created by the man Frank Miller when he wrote The Dark Knight Returns! He literally saved Batman from the Adam West cartoon caricature.
P.S. one of the stories is called: Bullets, Broads, and Booze. If that doesn't peak your interest in this universe I dunno what will :p
It’s funny you mention the Batman idea, coz Frank Miller...the writer/creatir of the Sin City comic series did pretty much that in the mid80s with two of the best Batman stories ever. The Dark Knight Returns, which he wrote and drew...and Batman:Year One, which he wrote and David Mazzucchelli drew. Both are amazing. Have you done a reaction to The Watchmen? I’d love to hear your thoughts there.
If you like Clive Owen you should definitely check out The Knick. It was a Cinemax series about a fictional hospital in the early 1900's. It's directed by Steven Sodeberg & it's an amazingly authentic look at turn of the century New York. Owens is so good in that. In fact, I kinda wanted him to play Dr Strange based on that role but it went to Benedict Cumberbatch instead.
Rest In Peace:
Micheal Clark Duncan
Brittany Murphy
Powers Boothe
Rutger Hauer
Clark Middleton
Damn dude, in perspective
Jesus
Man iconic actors that are forever in my brain due to the Power of all their performances.
Like tears... in the rain
Brittany Murphy suited this movie so well.
I'm so mad Brittany Murphy never got the chance to play or voice Harley Quinn in a movie, god she would've been perfect.
is hard to make movie when suicided by overdosing in drugs just saying
@@djsailbeat9999 Suicide isn't the right word, I don't think it was intentional.
@@gunman462 you right
@@gunman462 it's still suicide even if unintentional, there were other cases to her death though
I think her parents and family don't give a BLEEEEEEP about what you think tbh
Just like Ron Perlman was born to play Hellboy; Mickey Rourke was born to play Marv.
To quote Frank Miller's own notes on Mic Rourke's casting for Marv. "Mickey Rourke *is* Marv."
I'm not sure he was 'born' to play Marv, I mean he had some work done.
@@rickcolumbo3148 that work being sitting on a bar-stool for 10 years and smoking constantly then yeah. hehehe. =) =)
If you want to be impressed with a Ron Perlman performance then check out the movie "Quest for Fire".
@@rickcolumbo3148 Not just about appearance.
This is one rare example of when you should see the theatrical cut as well with all the stories intermixed. Both cuts are good interesting cinematic examples of editing.
Oh, I was sure that I'd seen the movie with the scenes intercut and that it started with the lady in red scene and it ended with another scene with the same assassin. I liked the theatrical version better, actually.
@@tsogobauggi8721 because the movie ends with Hartnett in an elevator which is just a boring ending, ending with Hartigan is perfect. Also I like this cut starts with Dwights story and also Hartigans story isn't needlessly interrupted.
@@pulpficti But that's the point. By ending the movie just like it began shows that there is no ending. It was just another day in Sin City and it will just continue on.
@@SuddenReal yeah I get that but it ends the movie with a character we've seen a minute 2 hours ago with another character we don't care about. It doesn't work especially after the ending of the last chapter which was so good. I watched this movie with many people over the years and sometimes people were just confused who the hell this guy is.
The theatrical cut is so much better, the skillful intertwining of the narrative threads defines the arc of the story, here it's just laid out in lazy blocks. I suppose it's easier for those who have limited attention spans.
"Is this Thanos?" No, it's Mickey Rourke. But funnily enough Josh Brolin appears in the sequel.
Thanos, no. Whiplash, yes.
Yeah, he got the wrong MCU villain. It wasn't Thanos, it was Whiplash (from Iron Man 2)
@@tomdalsin5175 Whiplash. Underrated MCU character!
This is the universe where Thanos is Whiplash's little buddy
"Can you imagine a Batman movie like this?" Well this is Frank Millers Sin City and he did drew some epic batman novels.
@@travisgray8376 thats the only one but after that....
Frank Miller is in the film lol
Batman: Year One (2011). Based on the Frank Miller story.
The two "Dark Knight Returns" comics, by Frank Miller, do have animated versions, at least. Good stuff.
*draw
R.I.P. Brittany Murphy. 🖤
Damn.
Luanne is in heaven now
The theatrical cut is superior in every way.
I kept asking myself what version he was watching!!
Wondering why we went to another story and all the extra scenes.
I can't be the only one who structurally prefers the theatrical cut of this movie. It just feels better. I mean I do like the recut for its extra scenes, but to me it only serves as fan service for those who already know the movie...
I wish they could've just added the extra scenes to the Theatrical structure. Then it'd be fine.
Theatrical cut of this is better. For sure
So much better I was confused as hell watching this cut
The theatrical cut is the superior version.
Any idea where I can watch the theatrical cut via VERY SAFE AND LEGAL WEBSITES?
The theatrical cut has way better pacing/splitting up of the stories. I think it makes for a much better experience
Since I'm so early there is a theory that Miho and Kevin are an angel and a demon literally. Both dont speak and are practically supernatural with there killing abilities.
Well damn that’s a wild theory..I’m interested!
So Marv basically killed a demon like it was nothing?
@@alextrill5829
Yeah, the guy who breaks through doors and walls like it's nothing, survives an electrocution only to quip a joke, throws adult men across rooms, jumps off of multi-story buildings without injury, and survives dozens of rounds to the chest, torso, limbs, etc.
Kevin easily won round 1.
Until Marv handcuffed him, Kevin was easily winning round 2.
Not convinced Marv won "like it was nothing".
Frank Miller called both demons. Miho the good demon and Kevin the bad one. It’s in the DVD commentary of the Recut & Extended release
You are correct frank miller called them his demons... Being he love Miho character the most. Good and evil demons
This movie is so underrated! DC's Watchmen has a similar kind of noir feel to it! :)
Honestly DC has a good variety of unknown or underrated characters
Watchmen (the series) is amazing!
Frank Miller: Sin City and 300
Zack Snyder: 300 and Watchmen
Watchmen has a MUCH better story.
Should’ve watched the Theatrical Cut, but good stuff all the same.
Yeah, I like the theatrical cut better as well.
Agreed this one is weird.
@@spidermonkey304 never watched this cut but it fixes some issues imo.
It's a matter of taste. This cut of the movie is the more faithful adaptation of Miller's original comics, keeping all the scenes from the comic books, while the theatrical cut is more lean and maybe works a little better as a stand-alone movie. This cut could be better watched as a collection of short films, watched one at a time, like a TV show.
@@rikuruohomaki3230 - For a filmmaker's first and possibly only time watching it, I say he should have watched the Theatrical, if just to see how they wove the stories together to create one movie.
Robert Rodriguez is basically the "MAN" when it comes to cheap and fast filmmaking. You should check his BTS, books, commentary videos which give a much appreciation for his own craft and many clever ways of making his movies. Love your videos James, Keep making them
Awesome to hear Antonio!
For Rodriguez, going to the beginning with El Mariachi is a good idea. The ultimate in "cheap and fast" that is so much more than the sum of the parts. What he managed on a $7000 budget it pretty amazing.
Robert Rodriguez films are all dripping in style.
As has been said, El Mariachi was filmed on a shoestring and largely fiananced by him volunteering for testing new medical drugs. The "ten minute film school" BTS extras on the DVDs are a great insight as to how he has achieved so much starting from so little.
@@krbkrbkrbkrbkrb I think this is why is he's one of the most well respected directors out there. Sure, hes not like high class auteur like Christopher Nolan but, the way he manage to make something out of his limited budget and time, it really shows his creativity as a filmmaker that will make you inspire to go and make movies.
He's also the guy behind the Spy Kids franchise, and Alita : Battle Angel (fantastic movie deserving a sequel)
"That's one damn fine looking coat you're wearing."
I can't believe it's been 15 years since this released. Still badass
One of the most visually unique films made of the 2000’s
A visual masterpiece. Frank Miller was iffy on it. Then they showed him the balcony scene as a kinda pilot and He Approved.
He also plays the priest Marv shoots in the confessional booth.
8:02 - Quentin Tarantino “guest directed” this car scene with Clive Owen (yessir, from Children of Men) and Benicio Del Toro. QT was inspired by Suspiria, a visually gorgeous movie I’m sure you’ll watch on the channel at some point. :)
Did not know that Tarontino fact! nice!
The 4k restored version of Suspiria is amazing. One of the last films shot in Technicolor. Pure beauty.
He actually did it for free because RR directed a scene in Desperado I think for free.
@@DarthTach He directed the scene because Rodriguez oversaw the soundtrack of Kill Bill Vol.2 for also 1 dollar.
I came to write the same thing. Glad someone beat me to it
I remember watching this movie over 12 years ago as a kid, it was this movie that showed me that "modern" movies could use a very simple color palette to dratisize and exaggerate actions and emotions. Classic.
Mickey Rourke used to be a pretty boy type who played in sexy romance movies. He became a boxer for a while and it messed his face up. He then got plastic surgery and it kinda messed his face up more. If I recall, this was his first movie back in a long time and people were shocked by his face, which they assumed was CGI or makeup. You should watch him in The Wrestler. It's basically The Maniac from Always Sunny but serious.
He IS still under a lot of makeup. There's a big prosthetic on his jaw and his forehead.
He was also really close friends with 2pac
There was a lot of makeup and stuff done to his face In this... he does not look like that in real life.
James to Frodo: You've changed man, you've changed! :)
one of my favorite movies of all time, and I'm so glad they didn't make a sequel... nope... never happened. the cast alone on this movie is mind blowing.
Technically Dame was a prequel lol
Yes they made a second well prequel
Dame wasn't a bad film. Not as good as this one, but still enjoyable and just as visually stunning
I wish you would’ve watched the theatrical version! 😩
There are so many big name actors in small roles in this movie. It makes me wonder whatever happened to Josh Hartnett.
On that note, have you ever seen Lucky Number Sleven? It's one of those movies that has its own unique style that sticks with you.
Frank Miller (The Creator of the comic/graphic novel Sin City) had been approached by Hollywood for years about turning his stories into movies. No studios would give him the creative control over the projects that he wanted. (Frank thought they would PG all his work or just screw it up)
Robert Rodriguez calls up Frank and says, "Hey I want to make Sin City into a movie. I got a couple friends to film a scene and I want you to see it. If you like it we can talk about making a film, if not I'll give you the tape and it'll be something cool for you to have."
Frank goes to see Robert thinking that the scene he filmed is gonna be a low quality proof of concept, acted out by no name actors. Nope, what Robert filmed was the scene with Josh Hartnett and Marley Shelton that ended up in the movie. Robert told Frank that not only did he want Frank to be involved but to co-direct. Robert ended up leaving The Directors Guild in order to get Frank a credit on the film as a co-director.
"Could you imagine a Batman film like this?"
lol
I really think you should try the theatrical cut.. it's editing is completely on a different level to this cut..its absolutely excellent.. all the stories are constantly entwining and overlapping slightly. I don't need a full video of your reaction to it, but please do check it out sometime and maybe drop a small video talking about it
Robert Rodriguez is a very underrated director that really excels at lower budget action.
Desperado is a classic I'm surprised more people haven't seen..
There a different version of this movie with different styles of editing which i like so much more.
The theatrical cut. This version was in a weird chronological order and doesn't hit quite as hard.
React to "Brick" from 2005. It stars Joseph Gordon Levitt in one of the best contemporary noir films ever made.
Omg yes. One of my all time favs
and a great introduction to Rian Johnson movies
God finally a reaction! This movie is remarkable in that as a comic book adaptation, the frames and dialogue are for the most part ripped straight from the pages, the variations were either written or directed by the creator frank Miller himself. Funny how a decent comic put to screen makes a decent movie? Who would have ever thought
Hahahaha it’s like story boarding came to life!
About time you got to my favorite movie of all time.
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Random fact Devon Aoki (Miho) is both a model and actress and her father Hiroaki Aoki is the founder of Benihana and her brother is Steve Aoki the famous DJ
Oh shit, Sin City! So excited. Sin City still has the best trailer I've ever seen. "Sin City (2005) Official DVD Trailer", I remember having it on my phone when you could barely see what's going on on the screen.
"Walk down the right back alley in Sin City, and you can find anything.
"
And RIP Brittany Murphy and Michael Clarke Duncan.
Sin City was Frank Miller's baby. Yeah, he's jumped the shark since, apparently, but when he was on, he was one of the all-time greats. The good thing for *you* is that he wrote some of the best Batman stories ever told, Batman: Year One, and Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, and both have pretty good animated adaptations. Check 'em out!
I think i speak for all when i say jessica albas stage scene was the moment a lot of teens got their sexual awakening. I know I did.
If she was a president she’d be Baberham Lincoln!
Holymoly ive been "fan" of Jessica Alba since Dark Angel tv-series! 😍
Idle hands for me
watching this in a windy ass couple of days here in Nuuk, Greenland. it gives me comfort in a terrifying wind
Your comment just made me shiver dude 😂 hope you're staying warm homie 💪💯
“He made me waaaaaaaaaatch!!!!!” Damn Carla Gugino looked fine in this movie. In fact all the women are lit beautifully.
Thank you for reacting to this masterpiece! The way it was filmed/narrated/acted was so damn good. I wish there were more movies shot this way too!
As others have mentioned, the theatrical cut of this movie is much better. Watching each character arc individually in this version takes away from the interconnected, pulp-fiction type feeling you got with the TC.
FINALLY. I've been looking for people to react to Sin City for a long time. Maybe after this one, word will get around to do it. People love to copy what other people are reacting to.
OMG no way u actually reacted to this,u gotta watch part 2 too.
what's dope is that the movie is basically perfectly adapted from the comics. it's almost word for word and shot for shot. i loved this so much when i was a kid that i bought all the comics lmao
Frank Miller wrote this comic and was directed by Robert Rodriguez. Stars a whole slew of famous actors
No shit sherlock
Although many people commented that this was based on Frank Miller's comic books, I don't think anyone explained that the art in them is in black and white. Check out some images from Miller's books and you will gain even more appreciation for the style of this film, I think.
The killer and the lady in the red dress was the firt scene ever filmed for this movie, it was the proof of concept shot they used in the pitch to the studio to get this movie greenlit. Think its on one of the director's cut edition with a interview with the director.
I saw this opening night at a midnight show at a Times Square multiplex in a packed auditorium! When we fans saw that Rodriguez actually showed Yellow Bastard's nuts get ripped off, the exultation was thunderous!
This is based on a black-and-white series of graphic novels written and illustrated by Frank Miller in the '90's. The series is called "Sin City".
Rodriguez adapted the stories with scrupulous fidelity.
Rodriguez filmed everything in his home studio in Austin using nothing but green screens and basic props.
Quentin Tarantino filmed the sequence with dead del Toro chatting with Clive Owen on the way to the tar pits.
The theatrical presentation is structured differently. The film begins with the Hartnett assassin then shifts to Hartigan on the docks getting shot then to Marv then to Dwight then back to Hartigan and adult Nancy ending with the Hartnett assassin taking out blue-eyed Alexis Bledel.
The Hartnett tale is called "The Customer is Always Right".
The Hartigan tale is called "That Yellow Bastard".
The Dwight tale is called "The Big Fat Kill".
The Marv tale is called "The Hard Goodbye" and is the first Sin City book published.
Mickey Rourke was born to play Marv. Miller described him as Conan transplanted to the modern age.
There is a sequel film called "A Dame to Kill For" that adapts that story, an early Marv tale and an original story written for the screen by Miller himself. The movie serves as a prequel and a sequel to "Sin City".
Frank Miller wrote a seminal run on "Daredevil" that redefined the character into the person audiences are familiar with today, two epic Batman books called "Year One" and "The Dark Knight Returns", and the stylized, historical retelling of Thermopylae, "300".
Check his comic work out. It's awesome!
In the original the 3 stories aren't told in sequence like this, they keep cutting between them.
I feel like the Re-Cut Version is more like a bonus thing for people, who have already seen the movie, cause I know that when I first say the movie and then I watched the recut, I was like: "HEY cool, this is an extra scene that I haven´t seen yet." --- BUT not taking anything away from you. This was a great reaction.
Gonna have to find this version. Original release seemed more like multiple short stories that were very lightly linked to each other and told out of order. This seems more linear since Marv didnt die before the oldtown scene which was first in this version. It also started with the lady in red.
Well, Kevin and Marv are seen alive in the Hartigan & Nancy story.
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps Right, but in the original version he had already been executed.
@@Daremo6969 You mean in the theatrical cut since the original version is the comics. I think in both cuts you see Kevin at the farm reading after Marv is executed (since the Hartigan & Nancy story takes place before Marv's).
@@Mansplainer2099-jy8ps Pedantic much? Based on your username I'm guessing extremely. :P but hey, you do you >:)
I love this film, and the graphic novels are amazing! They did a great job of bringing the art of the books to the screen.
Yeah, NickFlix is awesome, I love his channel. Thanks for giving him the recognition.
The scene with Josh Hartnett and the girl on the terrace was the first scene filmed. Robert Rodriguez filmed that scene and took it to Frank Miller to show him the style he wanted to film the movie in. Miller had previously turned down offers to make the movie because he didn't think anyone could make the film with the right look. After seeing what Rodriguez had in mind, Miller signed on, and the first scene made it into the movie pretty much without change.
I think it was this movie that made me fall in love with Rosario Dawson. She's also Ahsoka in Mandalorian.
No shit sherlock 😂
@@codyt821 Was I talking to you?
Things I really loved about this movie:
Josh Hartnett gets like a minute and a half's worth of screen time. But because of the first scene he's in you know within 2 seconds what's gonna happen in the last scene. "Hello Becky" --> Sin City bassline. I think that really showcases how less is sometimes more.
Clive Owen was perfect for this film. People sometimes feel his delivery is somewhat flat. But here his narration fits the grimy detective vibe perfectly.
Elijah Wood, maybe the prime example of a nice guy/goofy guy, shows how to be really scary without any dialogue at all.
Most of the heroes are also kindof sketchy. For example with Marv you never know what information is reliable since he mentions his medication and psychological condition as something that makes him question what's real sometimes. Then he goes to kill a priest based on the information of a prostitute. Another example is how McCarthy introduces himself as a killer with a new face. You don't know what 'a new face' means in this case at all... Plastic surgery? Shapeshifting? What did he look like before? Yet he pops up and threatens a cop in an apartment (a violent and absolute creep of a cop ofcourse, But still a cop). Also: a dead guy in a car talks to him.... They all seem to do good while being somewhat sketchy at best. Which I think is really interesting.
The questions that are raised the second time you watch this movie. For me some of those were: "Are all the characters reliable narrators?" and "What is real and what isn't?"
Marv's: "That's one fiiiine lookin coat your wearing!" -line.
Gail's: "I tied those knots?! They're my specialty!" - line.
The whole style of the movie.
I could go on and on................ xD
Anyways. I'm glad you watched it man! Thanks!
From Dusk till Dawn is also fun af, cool ass movie with a diff style.
Hell yes. It’s like a crime movie got mugged by a Horror flick.
Fun fact: Director Robert Rodriquez dropped out of the Directors Guild of America, to give Frank Miller equal Director's credit for this movie. Directors Guild did not approve Rodriguez giving a first time director more than a Co-director credit, as Rodriguez wanted the original comics writer and artist not only as a cinsultant, but to direct scenes by himself, showing him the ropes and giving him the tools.
The silhouette shots are a common trope in the Sin City comics. The use of heavy shadows and splashes of white depicting blood or rain drops, cutting solid black surfaces, are lifted straight from the comics. Everything is. The whole movie is adapted straight from Miller's comic books, as is, comic book panels being used as storyboards. Short story The Babe Wore Red was the first Sin City comic using color as an effect, just one clear color with no tone variation! The same effect was used in the long story That Yellow Bastard, which was also adapted in this movie. Nancy, who the cop Hartigan protected, appeared in the first Sin City story, A Hard Goodbye, originally just called Sin City, as the cowgirl style stripper. That story was about Marv taking revenge on Priest Roark's "adopted son", the cannibal serial killer, for murdering the prostitute Goldie and framing him for the murder. Marv is also protective of Nancy and people in the bar know not to grobe Nancy while Marv is around.
Marv also appeared in the second Sin City story, A Dame to Kill For, which was adapted in the second film, but Dwight was the main character. So these characters pop up here and there in each others' stories.
The theatrical cut omits certain scenes for a tighter runtime, like Marv's scene with his mother, and also, uses the beginning and the ending of the "balcony scene" as a kind of bookend to the film, starting the film and showing the rest of the scene as an epilogue. This was the first scene filmed, as Director Robert Rodriquez had filmed it as test footage to show Frank Miller, adapting his short Sin City story, to convince him to let him make the movie. Miller had been burned by Hollywood, writing the screenplays to Robocop 2 and 3, seeing his work turned to something else than what he had originally written, with the studio constantly on his back, forcing him to make changes.
Frank Miller has also done Dark Knight Returns, which was one of the major inspirations for the modern interpretation of Batman as a dark, intimidating figure. Previously, Miller had re-invigorated Marvel's Daredevil, making it more like a hard boiled crime comic, introducing criminal ninja clan The Hand and the mentor figure Stick (parodied in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), the femme fatale style assassin and Daredevil's love interest Electra. He also reinvented Spider-Man villain Kingpin and made him Daredevil's main adversary.
Still one of my favorite movies ever. It’s so underrated it’s crazy. The acting in it is top notch. The cinematography is insane and for when it came out i still think nothing has ever come since it that has been to this level of amazing. This is a classic in my eyes. It was just done so well. Crazy list of actors and it’s just unlike any movie I’ve ever seen.
Got to react to The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly. Legendary innovative film making techniques
The other guy Willis knocked out with the Band of Brothers guy, was an unrecognizable Nick Offerman from Parks and Recreation!
Sin City & Dredd are the greatest comic book movies of all time!
Well, no, Dredd is a great action movie but it tones down the satire of the source material too much.
Now that you've done this, natural born killers, trainspotting and tucker and dale vs evil. Anything else is just a bonus. Those are some of my all time favs. Thank you.
Funny story- I rented a copy of Sin City when it came out. I got about halfway through it and had to run errands with my sister. While I was out, I bought a copy of the movie. I finished the movie and returned the rented copy the next day. The sequel "A Dame to Kill For," didn't do well in theaters, but I saw it immediately and in 3D. It looked AWESOME. It flopped in theaters, and I can only hope that the rest of Sin City ends up as a miniseries.
Suggestion ! Watchmen 🤪❤
This is my first time seeing an extended cut that keeps in parts from the comic, awesome! Kinda wierd seeing it in chronological order though
The movie is an adaptation of a graphic novel, written in classic film noir style. The movie is actually like 4 or 5 individual stories combined into one big movie. The graphic novel is in black and white with key details in color.
Thank God. I’ve been waiting for one of these movie commentary channels to cover SiN City. This is awesome.👍
You know Frank Miller brought Batman back in this signature style in 1986’s The Dark Knight Returns? It was the reason the Batman films started in 1989 and also clearly had an impact on Tim Burtons vision.
I've never seen this cut, the way it was edited for theaters was a more effective way of telling the stories, in my opinion.
This is one of my favorite movies of all time.
I *love* the extended versions of each of the yarns, but I still prefer how the theatrical cut structured them, by splitting The Customer Is Always Right and That Yellow Bastard into 2 parts, and bookending them before and after The Hard Goodbye and The Big Fat Kill.
I'm so glad you watched this one. It's really unique.
BLAZING SANDALS WAS THE MOVIE I WROTE ABOUT A DREAM I HAD WHERE I WAS GAY & STUCK IN PUERTO RICO FOR A MONTH.
The theatrical cut is much better. It mostly still maintains the 'three story' structure but clips together a few of the off scenes to a better thematic position in the film. "'The Customer is always right" simply works a thousand times better as the bookends than it does arbitrarily spliced between two stories.
I never before noticed that one of the eloquent gangsters is Nick Offerman. I love this movie
I was wondering when a reactor would get around to this film!
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
There are a bunch of reactions to this homie 👍
Props to the makers. Risky business cranking EVERYTHING up to twelve. But they made it work.
Niice James. Another of my favourite comic book adaptation flicks. It's beautiful.
This one had a serious impact on me as a young lad. Stylistic/stunning/gory as hell!
When Rosario's character makes her 1st appearance all I can say is "Baby!
I took his weapon, "both of them"
CLASSIC.
I am sooooo glad y'all went here!!!!
Nobody :
Him every second: wow i love the look of this .
Stuka's death is one of the most hilarious scenes I've ever seen.
If I ever went out, I'd wanna be as chilled as this guy (minus the Swastika).
If you're into games, Batman The Telltale Series now has a Shadows Mode, which recolours the game like Sin City. In black and white, but with certain things in colour.
For those who don't know the Telltale games, they are light on gameplay, focused more on choosing what Batman/Bruce Wayne says, as well as big divergent choices.
BUNRAKU is a must for a film maker. Bunraku is a 2010 martial-arts action film written and directed by Guy Moshe based on a story by Boaz Davidson. The film stars Josh Hartnett, Demi Moore, Woody Harrelson, Ron Perlman, Kevin McKidd, and Gackt and follows a young drifter in his quest for revenge
Mickey Rourke was set up for life to play good looking but sinister male roles. Then he had those injuries from his boxing, and his face was forever ruined for getting the same kind of roles that Pierce Brosnan got where he was a vicious criminal that had serious physical effects/damage. If you want to see him at the absolute peak of his acting prowess + the maximum of his physical appearance, see Angel Heart. BRILLIANT movie, REALLY dark, but OMFG, well done.
This movie is awesome. I really wish they would try to adapt more comics in this way. I see comics as highly produced movie storyboards. The story and shot composition is already there, it just needs life; someone to put them together. Mickey Rourke owns in this role as Marv. It gave him a much needed career boost at the time. He was superb in the heartbreaking The Wrestler. Yes, Elijah Wood is creepy af in this. You should see him in the remake of Maniac. He's a serial killer and the movie is shot entirely in first person perspective. You'll get uncomfortably in the mind of a killer in that film. It's intense. And finally to the meat of Sin City: it's completely written and drawn by Frank Miller. 300 was another book of his that was made into a good film. He also played the priest in the confessional that Marv shot. Frank Miller is a legend. His works on Batman and Daredevil are still felt today. The Nolan Batman films were influenced by Miller's Batman Year One, and his Dark Knight Returns was the original Batman V Superman which got a piss poor treatment if you ask me. And much of the Daredevil show was pulled from Miller's work on that character. His Man Without Fear story was a redefined origin of Daredevil much like his Batman Year One. Sadly Miller has fallen off with his writing in comics, but his influence on comics in the 80s helped change the medium for the better. Him and Alan Moore helped comics grow up in the 80s. And they were influenced by Will Eisner, the grandfather of the adult graphic novel. If anyone wants a modern take on comic book noir such as Frank Miller, then I highly recommend the writer artist duo of Ed Brubaker and Sean Phillips. No one is doing crime fiction as well as these guys right now. I'm ready to see their stuff get made into films or shows. Sorry, I've gone on for too long. Just sharing my useless knowledge. Lol
This was co-directed by original author Frank Miller, who also wrote 300. Robert Rodrigues resigned from the DGA for Miller to get the co-directing credit. IIRC Tarantino, being mates with Robert Rodrigues, guest directed a scene (I think Benicio del Toro and Clive Owen in the car, but I may be wrong)
This has so many frame for frame translations from the comics
Sin City was a comic book by Frank Miller (who also plays a priest in the film) ... Most of the sets were digitally rendered
This movie is based on a graphic novel by Frank Miller who also did a Batman graphic novel too both great reads!
3 graphic novels actually. There are 3 more, 2 got covered in Sin City 2 and "Hell and Back" should really be it's own movie
That’s right shit forgot about those lol
@@Kanoa_Stibbard There was also the 6th one with all the short stories
Also. Don't know if you caught onto it, but the hitman in the beginning was hired by that girl in the red. She wanted to die. He shows up throughout the graphic novel.
I didn’t! Good catch!
I think they wanted Josh Hartnett (the hitman) for a greater role but he wasn't available, so they shot this one scene for him.
this segment was shot first, long before the rest of the movie and used as a showcase to convince big name actors to sign on
The theatrical version kinda hints it better.
Sin City was written by Frank Miller - who also wrote Batman: Year One, Sin CIty, The Dark Knight Returns, and 300...
You can find animated, blu ray versions of Year One and TDKR which are awesome and almost frame for frame to the comics.
You forgot about his Daredevil work.
YES!!!! This is what I wantted to see, I clicked on this so fast :D What a treat! Thank you :)
Hahaha happy to hear!
That scene with girl in red dress actually hired the hit man to kill her. Because she got involved with gangster that she wanted to get away and he told her he was going to kill her , she would not know where and when . she heard about a killer that would take you into the good night softly. So she hired him to kill her. She went out own her terms. This segment was flim for this movie was use a demo reel that Robert Rodiguez got Frank Miller to sign on to the film
Rodriguez literally used the comic books as storyboards and was adamant in getting Frank Miller a directors credit. Tarantino guest directed the scene in the car with Clive Owen and Benicio Del Toro as a testing ground for digital film making. The making of and the blue screen high speed cut is interesting as well. And also, check out the 10 minute cooking school lol
I don't know why but I always remembered the Dwite story being the middle one and the Marv story being the first one.
In case no one else has mentioned it, Sin City is based on a comic by Frank Miller. Frank Miller's other best known works are his many Batman titles. Some of which directly inspired Nolan's movies.
Let's not forget Daredevil.
"He made me WAAAATCH!!"is still one of the creepiest things in a movie.
