Yay Sin City
Apr. 2nd, 2005 02:15 pmSo here's what Movie Guide ("A Family Guide to Movies and Entertainment") has to say about Sin City:
"Depraved Movie Lives Up to Its Title
Rating: -4 (Abhorrent)
Pervasive pagan moral worldview with murder, revenge, corruption, and prostitution, and strong Romantic philosophy that pits the individual against an evil society, as well as anti-Christian content includes two corrupt or evil priests, both of whom are murdered (one inside a confessional), and light moral element man risks life to stop a pedophile and end governmental corruption; 33 obscenities, but no ‘f’ words, and eight strong profanities; gory, bloody violence includes many people being fatally shot with some body parts flying off, man dragged from car, crooked priest shot in confessional, people hit in head with sledgehammers and hatchets, men impaled, decapitations with a head that is bandied like a ball, cannibal keeps decapitated heads on his wall, dog eats at dead person, corpses are cut into pieces so they can be dumped, murderer is electrocuted by the state, gun backfires and becomes lodged in man’s head, pedophile’s genitalia is pulled off, suicide, man almost hanged, woman lashed, grenade explodes, people punched, man jumps through windshield, people smashed into wall, and men’s heads are held in toilet bowls; fornication depicted, pedophile kidnaps a girl but is prevented from harming her, many characters are prostitutes, and reference to priests using hookers; upper and rear female nudity; heavy alcohol use; prescription drug abuse and smoking; and, heavy governmental corruption, heavy corruption in the Catholic Church, cannibalism, pedophilia, revenge, and kidnapping."
I found this as a quote on Fark. Underneath the person wrote: "And I loved every minute of it." I agree.
If you head to the actual website and read the review, that's pretty funny as well. He uses the Bible to talk about how terrible the movie is and then goes on to praise its artistic qualities. Mixed messages.
Edit:Reading that list of craziness above out loud is even more fun.
