"Most people think , Marv is crazy. He just had the rotten luck of being born in the wrong century." Is prolly the best way of describing any character.

"This is so Kill Bill" - Director Robert Rodriguez is good friends with Quentin Tarantino and the swords used by Miho in Sin City are literally the same prop swords used in Kill Bill.

Quentin also direct and act in this movie. The cop who pull Clive Owen over was him. He directed that scene too.

[@sonnercampbell1702]

Trivia: The assassin story at the beginning was originally proof of concept test footage that Robert Rodriguez shot to show what the style of the movie would be. When he showed the footage to Bruce Willis, He asked “are those the lines from the book?” Rodriguez said yes, and Willis said “I’m in” I always thought it was nice that Josh Hartnett(who Rodriguez cast in one Hartnett’s first film roles; The Faculty) did that scene, as a favor, not knowing if anything would come of it and then did the end scene when they made the movie 🙂

[@Larooster87]

The director had no script and no story boards, he just used the comic book and put it on film. And tarentino directed the scene where Dwight gets pulled over with Jackie in the front seat.

[@SG-js2qn]

Mickey Rourke, Clive Owen, Bruce Willis, Jessica Alba, Rosario Dawson, Benicio Del Toro, Michael Clarke Duncan, Rutger Hauer, Brittany Murphy, Josh Hartnett, Michael Madsen, and Elijah Wood. Frank Miller as the priest.

[@Apple2-ux8uo]

Some sorta famous actors from TV, but they are hard to recognize Nick Offerman (parks and rec) and Rick Gomez (Band of Brothers) Jamie Kennedy (My Name is Earl) Nick Stahl (Carnivsle, Terminator 3) Tommy Flanagan (Sons of Anarchy) Powers Booth (Deadwood)

[@ChrisP-sc9sf]

Most shots are taken directly from the graphic novel. It's a beautiful adaptation. Highly Recommended.

[@maxducoudray]

This was a series of graphic novels. 1. The original was called only Sin City. It's the story of Marv. 2. The second was A Dame to Kill For, not used for this movie but adapted into a sequel. 3. The third was That Yellow Bastard, which is Hartigan's story that they split into the bookends for this movie. 4. The Big Fat Kill came after all of these and is a sequel to A Dame to Kill For. It's why they refer to Dwight's old face and shady past: that is the earlier story.

[@HobGungan]

BFK was 3 and TYB was 4, but otherwise accurate

[@victorsixtythree]

"Just like in 300." - exactly. Both "Sin City" and "300" were movies based on graphic novels written and drawn by Frank Miller. In the Sin City story "The Big Fat Kill", Miller writes "Sometimes you can beat the odds with a careful choice of where to fight." And then a few years later he wrote and drew the "300" graphic novel.

[@cjwright79]

this is one of the key points that I took away from Machiavelli - choose the battleground wisely!

[@victorsixtythree]

...in fact, here's the first page of the final chapter of "The Big Fat Kill", explicitly mentioning King Leonidas and the 300 Spartans: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mX-xoGdua7umsKcsi=I_zBhvRPIGtQUiE2&t=3200

[@brucemangan3807]

I’m glad this the theatrical cut.. ❤ Also.. the priest in the confessional.. is Frank Miller

[@eddiejravannen]

Now that you've seen this one though, I'd recommend the directors cut. It separates the film into the three original books, and adds more scenes.

[@alexspindler1]

But it's an awful way to watch the movie the first time. The structure of the theatrical version is fantastic.

[@GalahadGregory]

@@alexspindler1 I like to watch the theatrical version with the audio track featuring a live audience reaction. Great way to view it.

[@ridleysaria]

I think there are few fictional characters more honorable than Hartigan. Everything he goes through for Nancy, everything he sacrifices. On top of that he doesn’t take advantage of Nancy when I can’t think of many guys who would say no to Jessica Alba. He must have a heart condition because his heart is just way too big.

[@petrusjnaude7279]

It's good you watched the theatrical cut first. There's an extended UNCUT version as well, but it seperates all the stories into little mini-movies with credits at the end of each. There are some extra scenes that are interesting, but the way the theatrical version is edited makes it more worthwhile to watch.

[@AceMoonshot]

100% agree. Theatrical version is much better.

[@randalthor741]

This is one of the best movie adaptations of a comic book/graphic novel ever. It did a fantastic job of capturing everything that makes the Sin City comics so iconic. And yes, if you haven't read them you definitely should.

[@alancrofoot]

The opening scene with Josh Hartnett was Robert Rodriguez's resume to show Frank Miller he could do justice to Frank's Graphic novel. He loved it. A lot of film directors and producers wanted to adapt Frank's work to the big screen. He didn't let anyone do it because he felt certain that no one would/could do it right. Many of the shots are pretty much straight off the pages of the Graphic novel. It's my understanding that Robert invited Frank to Austin to show him that opening scene, the rest is history.

[@chrisleebowers]

-The swatches of color were mostly arbitrary, the choices are taken from the comic and it's just basically what Miller wanted you to look at or focus on, or something specific to a character (The Yellow Bastard, Goldie's hair) -Frank Miller has a cameo, he's the priest Marv shoots in the confessional -The sequel "A Dame To Kill For" is not quite as good, but it's still cool and gives you Dwight's backstory

[@KthulhuXxx]

They didn't really plan on making Becky's eyes color originally, but Alexis Bledel has pretty intense blue eyes in real life, so they decided to highlight that.

[@BulletTooth504]

@@KthulhuXxx The blue eyes was also an easter egg for a Sin City storyline that had a femme fatale with blue eyes.

Pure art in cinema - seeing this, in the theaters, back in the day, was mindblowing. And unlike some other artsy films, this one managed to be captivating and engrossing!

[@jcastromex]

"Dick Tracy" (1990) is also a movie that you should watch. Based on the 1930s newspaper comic character from artist Chester Gould, this live action movie has a great cast. The best part is the visuals and you trying to guess which famous actor is playing which character. In the history of comics and comic books, there are only three heroes that have a definitive memorable rogues gallery: Batman, Spider-Man, and Dick Tracy. Chester Gould wrote and drew the Dick Tracy strip for 46 years, then he officially retired. Check it out.

[@flatebo1]

Meanwhile The Spirit (2008) is based on the comic strip of the same name by Will Eisner. Frank Miller was heavily influenced by Eisner...so he wrote and directed the movie (mostly based on the influence the success of Sin City and 300 gave him). The Spirit is...not good. But it is interesting.

[@TheNativeEngine]

Most of the cast were fan's of the comic strip too and had a blast on the shoot.

[@atomfallen2409]

Loved that movie as a kid in the 90s

[@NecramoniumVideo]

[@matthehazard6986]

It's funny you mention '300' because Frank Miller wrote '300' and all the 'Sin City' stories. The padre Marv killed was played by Frank Miller, FYI. And, yes, the graphic novels are worth reading.

[@williamblakehall5566]

This was the movie that really turned me on to Rosario Awesome, as I call her. She was Gail, who had a thing for Dwight. Rosario went on to Rent, Clerks II (forget III), and Unstoppable, plus she played the title role in Ahsoka. Marvelous style to this, but for me there was too much -- what's a word for it? Yeesh! That's the word. Thanks, Jen.

This movie is incredible. Definitely in my top 5 comic book movies of all time. The scene with Marv, Kevin, and the dog made everybody gasp in the theater I was in.

[@chetstevensq]

The adaptation from the graphic novel to film was captured almost perfectly in this movie. Working as a bookkeeper for a chain of comic book stores in 2005 we went as a group to see this opening night. 5 store managers, the owner and myself then sat in a late night pie shop discussing this movie for over 6 hours. Remarkable memorable film making. Love when people realize that creepy cannibal guy is Frodo from LotR.

[@xxxPINWIxxx]

"Watchmen" is also based on a graphic nobel from Alan Moore (V from Vendetta)

[@lennyvalentin6485]

"Watchmen" the movie was pretty great, up until we meet Veidt and find he's an arrogant, self-absorbed pr--k, so far from his original persona. Not sure why they did this when they got so much other stuff right. Really weird, and annoying. Plus, the ending is dumb, compared to the graphic novel. When I saw "Watchmen" in a movie theater, there was ONE big reaction from the crowd throughout the entire movie, and that's it. Can you guess which scene that was? I'll make it easy for you and just tell you... The airship, in the clouds. The flame thrower. Lotta laughs. :) So, a big ole swing-and-a-miss on the whole, sadly. "Sin City" the movie is by far the better adaptation.

Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino have been best friends forever and work together a lot. Sometimes one will have the other play in his film, it's fun trying to find them in the movie and both of them use a lot of the same actors more than once, Sergio Leone (The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly) did that a lot as well. Anyway, loved the review, love you, take care and stay safe ❤️

[@JW666]

There are 7 Sin City graphic novels and yes, you should check them out! =) They even used the comic panels as the movie's storyboard ;) The one with Marv is from the 1st comic The Hard Goodbye, the one with Dwight is from the 3rd comic The Big Fat Kill, the one with Hartigan is from the 4th comic That Yellow Bastard and the one with Josh Hartnett is from The Customer Is Always Right, a short story in the 6th comic Booze, Broads and Bullets. Tarantino directed the driving scene with Clive Owen and Benicio Del Toro.

[@eddiejravannen]

The thing that makes this movie special is that they cut up the actual comic to make the storyboards. It is literally the same as the comic shot for shot.

This was a great edit! Hopefully it stays up 🤞 Some trivia: Robert Rodriguez scored Kill Bill: Vol. 2 for one dollar. Quentin Tarantino said he would repay him by directing a segment of this movie for one dollar. Tarantino, a vocal proponent of film-over-digital, has said that he was curious to get hands-on experience with the high definition cameras which Rodriguez lauds. When asked about his experience Tarantino merely replied: "Mission Accomplished."

This was such an awesome movie. Especially, when you're a 24 year-old boy and Miho, Gail, Goldie, adult Nancy, and all the ladies of Old Town make your "weapon" tingle. Though part 2 is still quite good, it hasn't really re-captured the magic of this one.

😎👍 The first film to combine black & white with splashes of color in this manner was "Pleasantville" (1998). However, that film is a whimsical paranormal comedy.

I love the two instances of "just like in 300" here because, not only was this written by the same guy who wrote 300 (the comic/graphic novels, I mean -- Frank Miller) but that scene in the crooked alley actually REFERENCES the 300 in the original comic!

After the success of Sin City and 300, Frank Miller was given the opportunity to direct his passion project; an adaptation of the Will Eisner comic character The Spirit.

Fun fact: The whole movie was shot in a green room. A lot of the production design was CGI. The special edition has the entire (time-lapsed) feature, sans effects.

[@cjwright79]

I would say that that's maybe not such a fun fact for the actors involved, given how little they generally care for green screen, but how else could you even make a movie like this! the cost of building the sets could be prohibitive... although come to think of it, they did make it work in Blade Runner, and that really did feel like a convincing city

[@Heegaherger]

Sin City is like the MCU, there is more than just these characters, more than these stories. Frank Miller was hesitant to make this movie until he saw the opening scene which was a test run. He loved it and gave his ok. Franks only audition notes for Micky Rouke were "Micky Rouke *is* Marv." Frank Miller played a cameo as the Priest in the confessional that Marv does in. Frank did the 300 graphic novel too.

[@d4mdcykey]

Beyond the amazingly unique look of this film, the writing is sharp, lean, and mean, a proper tribute to that noir vibe.

[@davida.j.berner776]

Yes, the graphic novel is good. It's not just one book, though; it's six or seven separate books. I may be misremembering, but I believe the film is made up of stories from the first two or three. Much of the dialogue in the film is taken directly from the books, and is obviously a nod to the style of narration used in classic film noir. Visually, the books are less "glossy" than the film, being printed on fairly cheap paper (at least in the edition I have!), but that only adds to the rough-edged feel of the story.

[@Dreamfox-df6bg]

This movie was originally 3 stories from 3 comics series each with 6 issues. But you only need to read them if you want to read comics, because you already had the comic. The differences to the comic are marginal and they literally made the comic as it was into a movie. Comic frame by comic frame. The comic artist was the same that did the comic they adapted from into the movie '300'. Though that movie had a few more differences to the comic than Sin City had.

I have to give Bruce Willis a lot of credit. I don't know why it is, but pretty much every lefty in Hollywood shoots right-handed in films except for the Star Trek people. Mark Hamill, Keanu Reeves, Daisy Ridley, are all people that you can see are left-handed by what they do in the movie, but when fighting starts, it's right-handed all the way. Not counting The Replacements where Keanu _throws_ lefty. (Of course it's probably because everyone _learns_ right-handed, and also because there are few left-handed rifles and nearly _no_ left-handed pistols, so that means that you need to be sure you don't get shell cases in your face... whereas in Star Trek it's very rare that they use real bullets. Even Star WARS does with a lot of their blasters. So you can see Brent Spiner almost always holding a phaser in his left hand. /aside) But Bruce? He's an exception. He ALWAYS shoots left-handed... except in this show because if he did, the scenes wouldn't match the graphic novel.

If you like original graphic, art and comics, yes, Frank Miller! Sin city, the dark knight, 300, Robocop, Elektra...

I'm not into guys, but Josh Hartnett was my man crush growing up. He is great in Halloween: H20, The Faculty, and Pearl Harbor. He is also in the cable show called Penny Dreadful with Eva Green, and Timothy Dalton. In fact, the director for this movie also directed The Faculty which came out 7 years prior.. Elijah Wood is also in it with a number of other notable supporting actors.

40:12 -- RE: The Symbolism of Things With and Without Color; The film took inspiration directly from the graphic novel, which is divided into separate stories that this film interweaves. The artwork tended to go heavy on the black and white outlines, silhouettes, or blocks with minimal use of color for emphasis and effect. The striking part of the film is how flat, polished metal objects which tend to have high reflectivity are almost all colored plain white, and are impossible to ignore. "Sin City" in graphic concept then film execution tends to get compared to film noir, which explains the period feeling of its more ludicrous moments. Consequently, the emphasis on lighting and shadow translated directly to the artwork. Digital post-production makes some of these effects incredibly easy to replicate. Marv's face bandages, for example.

Quentin Tarantino directed the car scene with dwight talking to the dead cop

After The Lord of the Rings trilogy, I get the sense that Elijah Wood wanted to distance himself from the Frodo stereotype and hence took the role of Kevin.
