Sin City

Sin City 

In the world of films based on comic books, one of the most beloved and celebrated examples is Sin City. The film is three stories that are based on three stories of the Sin City series written and drawn by Frank Miller (The Dark Knight Returns). It had done well in the theaters and was well liked by the critics for a reason. Not only does it have the hard pounding, heart racing, mind-blowing action and mystery, it is very artistic and a great piece that shows new innovations in movies.

The film has a very stylized look for a reason; Robert Rodriguez wanted to bring Frank’s characters, images, words, and tone to the big screen and that is what he did. The images in the movie are made to look as close as you can get to the pictures that Frank himself had drawn. Not only that, the lighting to made to match the lighting in the books. The actors look like the characters in the books almost to a tee. All of this brings out Robert’s love of new technology in which to tell his stories.

This brings us to the next great thing about this film, the special effects.

There are scenes in the film were it looks like the actors are in the same room. First of all, the only true set that was build was the bar that is the center piece of the film, most of the other pieces of scenery are computer generated and they look as real as real can be. Also, there are scenes in which the actors would have a month time difference in which they shoot their pieces in the film.  All of which appear to be seamless and well put together.  

It is one of the finest motion pictures in recent history, and fans are really longing for Sin City 2. So now, after more than five years after the theatrical run of the movie, It has been announced that Sin City 2 is in production and about to be shoot this year. Hope it goes well for all.
