MS4 - Text, Industry & Audience: Sin City (Representation/Genre)

Here is a really interesting article on 'representations of pain' and media effects, it adds an interesting dimension to the themes and issues in the film. 'Sin City' is a wonder in the way it uses cartooning but still creates a brutal impact. The animation and oscillation of actual characters means we transfer our allegiance between their “flesh and blood” images and their graphic representations. This may be a key resource when considering the concepts that are central to understanding the deeper issues at work in the text.
