Actors of "Sin City" and their non-standard roles

A well-known film in the genre of "noir" called "Sin City" is a real masterpiece. It was based on the graphic novels of Frank Miller, who, together with Robert Rodriguez, became the filmmaker of his creation. The actors of "Sin City" are stars with a world name, brilliantly performed atypical roles.

Description of the novel

"Sin City" is based on four stories that are independent of each other. They are united only by the place of action - Basin City (the name is transformed into Sin City). In this city all the dregs of society - corrupt policemen and politicians, prostitutes, murderers and thieves - have gathered. Crime can occur right before the eyes of government officials, and there will be no trial. There are those who kill, and those who are killed. The movie itself is filmed not just in the genre of "noir". The picture is literally shrouded in black, gloom and hopelessness.

All the actors of "Sin City" also appear in front of us in black and white colors, and only some of their details are portrayed deliberately in color. For example, the blue eyes of Becky's prostitute, Goldie's golden hair, the second part - the green eyes of Ava Lord and her red lips.

"Sin City": actors and roles

In this non-standard film the most highly paid Hollywood stars were involved, and they coped brilliantly with such atypical roles. The most interesting thing is that there is no centrally located character. There are those who often appeared in the frame, and those that we see rarely.

• Jessica Alba - played the role of Nancy Callahan. Stripper in a local bar with a delicate mental system.
• Bruce Willis - played the detective John Hartigan. He was convicted and at the same time obsessed with the idea of saving Nancy.
• Mickey Rourke - in his performance brilliantly turned Moor. This is a cruel and merciless killer, who, however, has a heart.
• Actress Jamie King played the role of twins - Goldie and the lost Wendy.

Less prominent characters

A lot of Hollywood stars here perform, one might say, episodic roles. Some of them do not even have replicas, but their play, their movements and facial expressions look genius. The actors of the "City of Sins", which were rarely in the frame, but remember the audience even better:

• Brittany Murphy - now this actress is not with us, but in 2005 in this noir project she played waitress Shelley.
• Devon Aoki - an American with Asian roots acted in the role of a prostitute, a killer named Miho. Her heroine perfectly masteres martial arts and weapons, thanks to which she destroyed many enemies.
• Rosario Dawson - she got the role of the main prostitute named Gale, who in many issues was stronger than cops.

Three filmmakers also took part in the creation of the film. Rodriguez and Tarantino flashed in the episode as guests of the bar. And Frank Miller played a priest, who was later killed.

The film "Sin City-2": actors and roles

In the continuation of the picture, many actors of "Sin City" remained on their metas. But there were new characters, which can not be overlooked. It should be noted right away that the second part is less successful than its predecessor. But in many ways the film is interesting and exciting, the story is uncommon. Well, let's find out what heroes this time will be revealed to us by the "Sin City". Actors and roles that they performed in the sequel:

• Ava Lord is the antagonist of the film, a woman who manipulates men for her own benefit. She enjoys her beauty and creates an image of an innocent victim in order to gain power and wealth. With this role brilliantly coped Eva Green.
• Johnny - the role was played by Joseph Gordon-Levitt. A gambling young player who crosses the road to the senator. He, in turn, does not miss the opportunity to get even with a daring youngster.
• Also in the film appeared Lady Gaga. She played the role of Bertha.

Heroes from the first part

In their places were all the favorite characters. This is Nancy and a detective performed by Jessica Alba and Bruce Willis. This is Gail, played by Rosario Dawson. Also in the film were Mickey Rourke and Jamie King, who played Mavra and Goldie. According to the plot, Miho's little killer is also present in the movie, but this time it is performed by another already actress - Jamie Chon. For the foreseeable reasons, Brittany Murphy could not play in the film, and many other artists from the first part refused to shoot in the project. It is worth noting that a lot of negative reviews were directed to the second part of the film. But here, perhaps, an important role is played by preferences. If you are an amateur of this genre, then be sure to indulge in the atmosphere of both films and enjoy them in full.

What does the "Sin City" tell us?

The film, whose actors tried to convey to the public the whole essence of our world, was perceived by many as art or a terrible fairy tale. Of course, everything here is exaggerated and metaphorical, but in fact Miller, while creating his novels, was guided precisely by the environment in which he lives. In many respects this cinema makes us think about what we are doing, where our society is heading and what needs to be done so that all mankind does not find themselves in such a "Sin City" where the police are idle, prostitution is flourishing, and murders and corruption go unpunished.
