The vertically falling raindrops and the rapidly rising virtual camera turn the entire night city into a few blood-red letters of "sincity", the city of loneliness, confusion, sin, love and primitive sex, appearing on the big screen.

At the same time as the premiere, there are 2,000 advance screenings in 2,000 theaters in North America.

In the past three films, Murphy has certain fans, such as Daisy who attended the premiere, such as Luis Gonzalez who walked into a theater in Long Island with his companions, and besides Murphy, the actors also have His own supporters may be far less than Tom Cruise, or even a corner of Catherine Zeta-Jones, but like Robert Downey Jr., James Franco, Jessica Simpson, Jessica Alba and others have their own fans more or less, and fans of these people and comics are also the basic audience of 2,000 early games.

In the Chinese Grand Theater in Hollywood, 2,200 seats were packed to the brim. Since the front row was occupied by guests and media seats, ordinary audiences could only sit in a dozen or so rows at the back, but Bert Stino This big fan of the "Sin City" comics has no complaints, because this movie is almost the best restoration of the comics!

The contrast brought by the strong black and white colors, together with the scheduling of the shots and the angle of the light, many shots can be viewed separately as an independent picture of the comic, especially the use of black in the film is rich in layers, showing the " The original appearance of "Sin City" has even reached the image quality that cannot be obtained by color movies!

Not far away, Daisy was watching with great interest. From entering the main hall of the theater, she found that there were very few women in the general audience. It seemed that this was not a film for female audiences, but there were a lot of violent scenes in it. It made her feel like her whole body was on fire.

After "Planet Terror", Daisy gradually realized that she has an extraordinary love for extremely violent movie scenes, not only Murphy Stanton's movies, but also other movies full of extremely violent scenes. I like it, but those directors are not as handsome and cool as Murphy Stanton, which can't arouse her interest.

Therefore, many scenes in this film easily resonated with her.

Sven's cannibal demon Kevin always smiled, even after his limbs were dismembered, he still had that numb expression, even if he was bitten by a mad dog, he still had that indifferent look in his eyes, vertical rain lines, white blood, killing It is so common, wanton and low.

This made Daisy feel an unusual violence.

In the next story, the villain Jack, a policeman, was beheaded by the female killer Meihui because he broke the rules of the old city because of his extraordinary behavior.

But he was teased by Mei Hui, shot in the forehead by the pistol holster that exploded in his hand, and finally died by Mei Hui cutting his throat.

In the meantime, pure white blood plasma gushed out from Jack's severed hand, forehead inserted into the gun barrel, and neck that was cut off from time to time, making his death miserable and comical.

Afterwards, bolts of lightning pierced the black night sky covered with drizzle, forming an extremely strong visual contrast between the white plasma and the dark streets. A layer of terrifying haze shrouded it.

In order to preserve the fragile truce between the police and the prostitutes and save the girls in the old city from the suffering of the war, the chivalrous murderer DeWalt immediately drove to the oil well to dump his body.

During the throwing of the body, Jack's body slumped on the passenger seat, chanting about DeWalt's doubts and worries, and showing off his severed throat along with the bumping rhythm of the car.

It was a black **** without any details, and together with the white plasma emerging from it, a shocking horror image was performed, which magically revived the villainous policeman Jack's naughty soul, metaphorizing his perverted bone marrow Psychology is definitely the ultimate interpretation of violent aesthetics.

Harvey Weinstein's brother, Bob Weinstein, is also sitting in this theater. He has never seen the finished film before. This is the first time he has watched it, but he only wants to use one sentence to describe the effect of the film—— shock!

There are a large number of plots that would be considered extremely unreasonable in normal movies, such as white line-like rain columns, Jack going to pick up his severed hand, and his long-dead chatter in Dwight's car.

However, this episode was filmed with extreme tension!

Accompanied by Dwight's chaotic and confused narration, and the never-ending rain on the screen, from the encounter between Jack and Dwight to the final battle on the street, the tone of the story is getting higher and higher, and finally with the bullets The shooting finally poured out like a torrential rain, and the dramatic scene brought the inner emptiness and sorrow of the characters under the catharsis of violence!

At that moment, countless young girls are strafing high on the roof, and the film's sense of unreality and absurdity reaches its peak!

They reminded Bob Weinstein of the casual, unthinkable violence in Kill Bill, and if Kill Bill was a form of moral disillusionment, Sin City doesn't show it at all. Poor, and the distortion and madness of the environment in which people live should be added.

The violent scenes in the film do not make people angry, but full of bone-piercing coldness. The previous episode of Jonah Hill's appearance and his ending both make people feel extremely uncomfortable psychologically. I am afraid that many Female viewers can't stand this episode.

And the farm where he lived appeared many times in the movie, and the scene in the basement was almost a replica of hell, although Murphy Stanton was on point, and even used artistic means such as silhouettes to avoid the bloodiest scenes, But with uncompromising violence, this film can be said to be another peak after "Kill Bill".

"It's the bloody violence and the very unreal detail that really captures the madness of Sin City itself, and the only remaining bright spot in a black sky is between the male characters and the people they care about. Humble and difficult love, and that's the only thing to look forward to."

At the end of the film, Daisy said a few words to herself.

The three stories are independent and intertwined with each other, and they all take place in the virtual city of sin, where there is no difference between the police and the thugs, violence destroys everything and protects everything, time mixes, and finally returns to the original point.

The first story is Sin City.

The ugly, hot-tempered Muffle met the blonde beauty Goldie, and the one-night stand gave Muffle the warmth he had never had before. However, after waking up, Muffle found that Goldie lying next to him had been murdered, and he was facing the murderer's accusation.

With an ugly face and no beauty, only Gotie treats him the best. However, Gotie was assassinated unfortunately, and the woman he loved died beside his pillow, and then the killer called the police to trap him in injustice. This strong man endured the misunderstanding of Goldie's sister Wendy, which caused him psychological and physical trauma, but he still has no hesitation and wants to avenge the one he loves deeply.

Murphy's heart was ignited by anger and revenge. With the help of Goldie's sister Wendy, he investigated the truth and found the murderer who killed his lover...

The second story is sniping.

Dwight, a former criminal, becomes the boyfriend of bartender Shirley after plastic surgery, and helps her discipline her tangled ex-boyfriend, the violent Jack.

Jack is a cop, as dirty as the city is, and Dwight follows Jack and his gang to an old city ruled by gangs of prostitutes. Policemen.

His death broke the agreement between the prostitutes and the police.

Dwight has an old relationship with Gail, the boss of the gang of prostitutes, and must help them cover up the crime and protect their rights...

According to the regulations of the old city, the police can get their free services when they hold parties. The exchange is that they can manage their place by themselves, and they can clean up the police but not kill them.

Jack's death made them panic. Dwight went all out. With the help of Mei Li, those crazy girls tried their best to protect themselves. They had no support but relied on themselves. They worked hard to protect their rights and interests. Even if it is to launch a bloody killing for this.

The story of three yellow bastards.

Hardy is about to retire due to a heart attack. In the last hour of his police career, Hardy received intelligence that the senator's son Locke kidnapped an 11-year-old girl Nancy. Locke is the main suspect in several rape and murder cases. Falling into his hands is more than auspicious.

Hardy single-handedly rescued Nancy, disabled Locke, and was seriously injured himself.

For the next eight years, Locke's senator father used his power to put him in prison and forced him to take the blame for Locke. Hardy never gave in, and Nancy's letter under the pseudonym Corridia was the most important thing in her life. The only consolation.

The sudden interruption of Nancy's letter made Hardy very disturbed. He had to give up his resistance, plead guilty in exchange for parole, and seek to protect Nancy.

He didn't know that the monster yellow bastard who had been following him secretly would put him and Nancy in danger again...

The ugly Muffle kills for the only woman in his life who loves her; Dwight fights to protect the one he loves; Hardy even shoots himself in the head to keep the woman he loves alive.

These practices lack feasibility and credibility in real society. However, in an unreal society, in an unreal way, the behavior of protecting the one you love shows the only brilliance of humanity in this dark world.

The film is coming to an end, Tom Cruise let out a sigh of relief and returned to reality from the film.

"Honey," Penelope Cruz whispered next to him suddenly, "It's been a long time since I've seen you watch a movie so seriously."

Tom Cruise shook his head and smiled, this film is really unique!

How to describe this movie? Pure color visual feast or gorgeous violence appreciation? (To be continued.)
