Frank Miller's Sin City

Apr 18, 2005

The movie I saw with Nuk-Nuk this evening was Frank Miller's Sin City.
Check this out!! SIN CITY


A lot of famous movie actors, including Bruce Willis, are in it. I bet most of you will be attracted by its gorgeous cast itself and go for this movie. But, bother to take a little moment and check out the synopsis first. This movie is quite unique.

In fact, I found this movie very alternative. If you expect any kind of conclusion, either happy ending or tragic, I wouldn't recommend this movie to you. This movie consists of several stories that take place in the same site, Basin City. Some details are related among the stories but basically nothing to do with each of them. And ... no obvious endings. No perfect story-line like a series of introduction, development, turn and conclusion. It may be hard to digest for some of you. Plus, bunches of violent scenes come out. You need to be prepared in advance otherwise you will get sick. The famous Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings, Elijah Wood, was dismembered and fed to dogs "alive," for example...

What I enjoyed were the beauty and coolness of the whores living in the city, the powerful act of Benicio Del Toro.

In Basin City, there are tens of whores organizing a guild. They are protecting themselves from the evil police wielding its power. I was thrilled when Miho, one of them who was in Japanese Ninja kimono, silently attacked the bad guys. She was a well-trained Samurai-sword master. And the leader of the whore guild, Becky was spotlessly beautiful. Her body-line was perfect but her determined faces were the most eye-catching. I hardly looked away when her face were up in screen.

I first saw Benicio Del Toro in another movie called Traffic some years ago. The movie won many awards including Academy, if I remember correctly. The movie was, for me, complicated to get the whole story at one time though, his sexy voice was unforgettable. Heh, heh. Oh, my gosh, he was way sexier in Sin City! He was killed ( or should I say that he killed himself?) quite badly after all and that gave me the creeps for a long while.

All the characters in this movie are unique and cool but I can't explain them all. I can't take some (such as stinky Yellow Bustard... ) but most of them are great to watch!! I don't mean I like violence ( too much violence in this movie!!!!!) but it was thrilling.
I think you can guess what kind of movie it is if you find that Quentin Tarantino took part in it as a guest director. He is the director of Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill and so on. ... See?

The bottom line is ... I quite liked it! I appreciate it as a piece of art. Check it out if you are a big fan of, say, comic books!!
