sin city is a film released in 2005 that is based off the comic book series by frank miller. the film adapted the same film-noir style that miller uses in the series. there were three main stories from the series that was used to compile the movie together:
(the customer is always right: a woman is out on a balcony and is later accompanied by a man who admits his infatuation with her. after they kiss, he kills her and says 'i'll cash her paycheck in the morning." side note: miller discusses that the woman is committing suicide. she tried to break it off with her boyfriend mobster and he told her he would kill her in a very excruciating way. she used her resources to find a hitman to kill her instantly)
that yellow bastard (part 01): an aging policeman, hartigan, tries to rescue an 11 year-old nancy from the sexual predator and serial killer of roark junior.
the hard goodbye: marv gets revenge on the people who murdered his love, a 'lady of the night.'
the big fat kill: a war between the prostitutes of old town and mercenaries from a wealthy upper class status.
that yellow bastard (part 02): hartigan is released from jail of 8 years to find nancy once again after evidence leading to her kidnap. however, hartigan is surprised to find that nancy is a dancer at kadie's and they both run away to escape a yellow man that follows them.
ending: the traitor from old town, becky, is leaving the hospital and goes onto an elevator. on the elevator is a 'doctor' who offers her a smoke, and she realizes that hes a hitman sent out to kill her.

THE DIRECTORS:
originally, robert rodriguez was the main director for the film. however, he did not want to continue with productions until he got frank miller's permission to do so. after an eventful day, miller agreed for the movie to go into production and rodriguez made him his co-director and should be credited for it as well. even though frank miller didn't have any sort of directorial background, he was just as part of the film as rodriguez. even though the directors guild of america wouldnt allow the two directors that weren't an established team to be credited (especially since miller never directed before), rodriguez planned on having miller taking the credit for the film. however, miller didn't want to accept that sort of credit since the movie production wouldnt have happened without rodriguez. so, rodriguez decided to resign from the guild so that the joint credit could remain. they also brought in quentin tarantino as a special guest director to direct a scene in the movie.
