Sin City

To start, I think that the producers and writers of the film try to explore another part of the world today; a part that most people in this class do not live in. He is trying to show that people have a bloody, brutal, and terrorizing side to them, yet I do not think that everyone does. Yes, everyone indeed has a "bad" side, a part of them that is naughty and cruel, but we have this because we are humans, and that side helps build humans. But, most of us do no had a "killing with the chainsaw, cutting of part of the human anatomy" side to us, and even though few may lust to cause someone to go through that kind of pain, ever less people have the willingness to actually do some kind of action. If I had a decision to watch the movie or not, I wouldn't just because it can be rgued that movies like these is what makes the world a more brutal place, and humans follow the actions they see in movies. I could stand through the murders and blood, but I would probably not be interested. "we are in touch with the darker side of life, if only in fantasy. This is liberating stuff. We don’t censor ourselves. This is human nature, brutish and cruel." I do not understand why the writers have to focus on this side of life. We humans focus on more bad than good, hear of all the brutal murders but do not hear about a hero who saved another persons life. We hear about rapes and the Iraq situation but do not hear about justice nor good.

But, I understand that there can be an argument. Many people do love brutal movies, like 300, where is almost shown in every seen.. But, i think that hte target for the people to watch the movie are teenagers, and I understand that I am a teenager as well. But sin city, as written in the review, is almost all about killings, and I don't think a teenager would want to watch Sin City. Yet, if I was to watch the movie, I would be interested to find out what the whole point of the movie is actually about, for I am sure there has to be a deeper than mass murders and revenge by brutal death. Another movie written by the same author, Kill Bill, was very uninteresting, and I did not like the weird seens. I think maybe their might have also beena deeper meaning to that movie, but we teenagers in common day want to see action and weapons and a good plot.
