Sin City
(Frank Miller)
This story, that takes place in the middile of a dirty, dark city, is a strange account of what human nature might be. Of all the numerous characters in this story, none of them are truly redeeming. Every character has a dark and dirty side that lurks there either just beneath the surface, or blatantly for all to see. In a sense, this story is appealing for its theatrics, and its rather cynical look into the hearts of men and women. On the other hand, one must wonder about the manner in which every woman in this story is protrayed. All of them, not just the hookers and prostitutes, seem to be blessed with perfectly beautiful bodies, and for some odd reason, a desire to plaunt them every chance they get. Not only are the strippers, whores, and questionable waitresses running around with barely a thread on their bodies, but apparently psychiatrists as well aren't particulay fond of clothes, and no one it seems, is modest. Certainly, sex drugs and violence has always been appealing to the masses, but this, seems to be nothing but. One must wonder what the world is coming to when a book, or film such as these are thought to be cutting edge, and at the height of good taste and art. I do not by any means, attempt to say that the picture or the book are worthless endeavors, for they are not. They do have entertainment value, the film is visually engrossing, and the inner dialogues of manner of the characters quite rich with beautiful descriptions and vivd metaphors. However, I do find that the picture it paints of women to be rather demoralizing and truly pathetic. Were I to give this a rating between 1 and 5, 5 being the highest, I would rate it as a 5 in two categories. Artistic ability, and masogeny. I cannot deny the talent of the writers, the graphic artists, the directors etc. but to say that this is good based on its concepts would be a fallacy. An offense to intelligent, beautiful, sexy, and sex loving women everywhere, absolutely.
