Belkin F6d4050, Linux



Thursday evening I was at home and in TV broadcast The Spirit , who was on the list of movies that sooner or later I would see. So, I took advantage: at 21, put on his glasses, wear a comfortable suit, holding a soft blanket, I was at a fixed total of idleness on my bed.

Frank Miller is great! That style, which seems to see a comic film than a movie, I find it amazing. Miller does not disappoint, even if ... the story I seemed quite simple, even a little 'empty. Since I consider Miller a genius, I wondered what his goal for this film. So armatami computer, I entrusted to Google, where I found this nice review of Andrea D'Addio published on 22/12/2008.


Miller indulges itself in references to other films, to build around its protagonist a sort of manifesto does not pop only the concept of superhero, but the film itself.

"Give me just a tie. And make sure it is red. " When what should be a superhero, he exclaims, after about half an hour, a sentence so light and yet so intrinsically linked to that attention to aesthetics that is driving the various Spiderman & Co. rather than the legends of the true icons of style (not by chance in New York last May there was an exhibition along these lines), it is clear that what you're looking at is something different from the usual films on the scout disguise.

Here The Spirit non è una riproposizione audio e video dei disegni e delle storie di Will Eisner (che lo ha creato nel 1940), ma un personaggio che di quelle pagine riprende sì il look, i nomi dei cattivi e la rappresentazione della città, e cioè la parte più superficiale, quella legata all’occhio, ma esagera tutto il resto, a partire dall’ironia.

Se The Spirit aveva come punto di riferimento, a volte anche in maniera sarcastica, i detectives delle storie Raymond Chandler, Miller indulges here in calls to other films (grotesque that of "Marathon Man"), built around its protagonist in a kind of pop manifesto not only the concept of superhero, but the film itself.

We absolutely share from the gloomy atmosphere of Sin City and 300 ( Miller invented worlds that when confined to the comic), everything is deliberately over the top, comic in its being blatantly the result of research first and only secondarily aesthetic contents. There is no narrative superstructure, the good is born to fight an evil that a) wants to rule the world, b) reveals his plans when the hero thinks he is now close to victory (but of course mistaken) and c) saying phrases such as "two of us at the bottom are the same." In short, a faithful copy any stereotype to become the emblem ridiculous smiles and tear.

Frank Miller in his hero seems to have poured all his passions. Love for the city to the beautiful women, through attention to designer (this writer was able to interview him recently. Asked if were to follow fashion, Miller replied: "I like it so much that for Sin City I ended up dressing prostitutes who earn thousand dollars a month with the Versace that cost more than ten thousand dollars ").

The Spirit be seen as a kind of comedy, a celebration of constant visual invention that wink at cinephile, but maybe not lovers of the original The Spirit , an original and valuable for its attempt to seek its own language (of Sin City we can say For example, it is almost mirroring the graphic novel), remembering the lesson of Eisner, but not dominated by the genius of its inventor.


confirm: Frank Miller is awesome!
