He took me to see 300 too, his idea of a date movie. magdanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-64273739059486806622018-10-13T13:03:39.406-04:002018-10-13T13:03:39.406-04:00I don't know how I missed that one, since Cliv...I don't know how I missed that one, since Clive Owen is on my laminated list & I try to see every movie he's in. <i>Sin City</i> isn't available on Netflix at the moment but I'll watch for it to come around again.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00239163766419735693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-83082694683745030942018-10-13T00:42:57.738-04:002018-10-13T00:42:57.738-04:00Subsequent filmography seemed to draw from Sin Cit...Subsequent filmography seemed to draw from <i>Sin City</i>, works such as <i>The 300</i>, which used similar choppy desaturation techniques. The methodology dates back quite a ways. I saw examples in Greenwich Village art theatres dating back at least half a century. Paul would know more about this than I, but in a way, severe desaturation harks back to the earliest days of color cinematography, Kinemacolor and duotone movies.<br /><br />The modern technique didn't seem to, er, catch fire until Frank Miller stepped up. That's probably because a movie is only as good as its story.<br />Leigh Lundinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07921276795499571578noreply@blogger.com
