Sin City
R
I can't get tired of this movie,I love everything about it:its great cast and acting,its cheesy/corny dialogue(I was almost waiting to see it popping up in a bubble above their heads),its cartoonish characters which are still appealing, interesting and real somehow,its stories well-knitted together, stunning visuals, humorous violence,its dark and depressing atmosphere which is almost a character itself telling you in a dante-esque way:Lasciate ogni speranza voi ch'entrate(Abandon hope,ye who enter!) It's simple yet powerful,retro but modern,stylish but rough & tough, stylized yet expressive,artistic but appeals to the average viewers...a perfectly balanced movie.Mostly black and white imagery,as in good vs evil,right vs wrong,heroes(antiheroes) vs villains...In the end it's a funny,tragic,bittersweet tale of love,loss,anger, revenge, crime, power,corruption, duty, loialty, betrayal ,punishment,sacrifice,all those human emotions,values, needs and desires...and it's so captivating you don't want it to end.
