I watched this a long time ago as a teen in theaters and didn’t quite understand what was going on because I didn’t realize it was a series of characters interacting with the city. Now that I see the triptych that stitches them all together and look back, well, my opinion doesn’t change much. Sin City is still amazing to this day.
That triptych click is everything. Once the city becomes the through-line instead of any single character, it all locks into place. I love hearing how that shift landed for you.
I think this deserves a rewatch! I don't remember any of this haha. Fun to get acquainted with it again.
I love that reaction honestly. This is one of those films that hides its own shape until you come back to it with different eyes.

This is so beautifully written. I need to give the film a rewatch - it's been too long.
Thank you, that means a lot. It’s one of those films that waits patiently for you to come back to it.
Great work here! This is one of my favorite, and I would argue most faithful graphic novel adaptations of all time.
Appreciate that. It really is a rare case where the adaptation doesn’t just translate the panels, but inherits their moral weight too.
100% agree.
