"Lance, do you think Hardigan's end is not suicide, but blackening, and he began to kill innocent people indiscriminately in order to protect Nancy......" Frank's voice came from the other end of the phone excitedly, and he couldn't wait to take out the inspiration he had just captured and share it with Lance.

It's been a week since Lance took possession of the rights to the adaptation of Sin City, and a lot has happened in the course of a week, the most exciting of which is the news that Quentin Tarantino and Harvey Weinstein had a big fight over a pie. Because it is a private party, the news is just spread in the circle, and there is no evidence left.

However, Dorothy Wright was very adamant that it was true, "I heard that because of Harvey's connections, Quentin missed an important work, which made him angry. I always thought Quentin was working on Kill Bill 2, but I didn't know he was planning other projects. ”

Strictly speaking, this project is Robert Rodriguez's, not Quentin's. If it's Quentin's, in fact, if you miss it, you miss it, and with his current status, there is no shortage of projects at all; But it was precisely because it was Robert's that he missed the best opportunity because of Quentin's relationship, which made Quentin angry. Righteousness is even more important to Quentin than to women.

The main reason for the "Sin City" project is still under strict secrecy and no rumors have been leaked, the main reason is that Lance must now devote himself to the post-production of "Murder by Knife" and the script adaptation of "Sin City", he needs absolute dedication, and he doesn't want to be disturbed, let alone Ryan Kavarag and their nonsense, so Lance didn't speak. Frank didn't speak, Robert and Quentin didn't, and even Dorothy didn't know that the project she was discussing was in Lance's hands.

The excitement and excitement were only temporary, and over the past week, Frank and Lance have been working on the screenplay. But this is obviously not an easy task, and the two men have met in two meetings to exchange ideas and ideas in the hope of building the script, but progress is still slow. There was a bottleneck in character structuring.

Lance was in the driver's seat, less than a mile away from the place where he and Frank had met, and Frank couldn't wait to call again, and it was clear that Frank was enthusiastic about the film adaptation, in contrast to the hard-line rejection of the early stage.

"If you say he's running for Congress, I think it's funny, it's just killing innocents, which is too common in Sin City." Lance shook his head. Rejected Frank's proposal, "What's more, if you want to emphasize the story after Hardigan killed the yellow mongrel, it will make the plot very drawn." It will ruin the overall rhythm of the movie. ”

Frank was not discouraged, but thought about it seriously, "What you said also makes sense. Actually, I mean, let Hardigan after protecting Nancy. Achieving blackened ......"

Frank was still talking, but this made Lance's thoughts surge, and he suddenly remembered the ending of "Batman Prequel: The Dark Knight". In order to establish the glorious image of the two-faced man, Batman asked the sheriff to cover up the fact that the two-faced man had committed many crimes, making the two-faced man a knight of light, while Batman carried all the sins and became the dark knight, being spurned by the people. It's not just about enduring humiliation, but it's about falling into the trap of the clown, defining himself as evil in order to achieve justice, a philosophy that makes the whole story complete and elevated.

Frank apparently meant the same thing. If Lance wants to make the ending of Sin City positive, it's a good choice, but the point is, Lance doesn't want to.

"Frank, what do you think of that? Hardigan rescues Nancy from the Yellow Bastard, but is seriously injured, and the Yellow Bagrel tries to kill Hadigan, but at this time Nancy rushes desperately, and then, in a fit of grief, kills the Yellow Bastard, smashing the Yellow Bastard into a mess. Hardigan knew that the father of the yellow mongrel parliamentarian would never let go of his son's murderer, so Hardigan took the blame on himself, and after sending Nancy away, he chose to commit suicide. ”

Lance's words silenced Frank and fell into deep thought.

In the original story, Hardigan killed the yellow mongrel - the yellow mongrel was Roger, the son of the councillor, and Hardigan knew that the councillor would never let the murderer go lightly, so he chose to commit suicide, cutting off all clues, so that Nancy could fly away and live a happy life in the true sense of the word. The ending of sacrificing one's life is touching with a strong spirit of sacrifice.

But this ending is more of a reflection of Hardigan's love for Nancy, which is not in line with the tone of the "Sin City" story, and is not on the same track as Lance's Guilty trilogy.

Now, Lance has changed the ending - Nancy's hands are also stained with the blood of sin, and she is finally no longer an angel of light with white wings, but an angel of darkness who gradually descends into hell; At the same time, in order to protect Nancy, Hardigan took the crime on himself and committed suicide "in fear of sin", which is not only a sacrifice, but also a kind of despair and cruelty.

Hardigan is like Batman in "The Dark Knight", who chose to fall into darkness in order to uphold justice, but Batman still bears the burden of justice, so he re-ascended to the top in the third part of the series, "The Dark Knight Rises". But this is not the case with "Sin City", Hadigan chose to commit suicide with the name of sin and walked into the grave with sins that did not belong to him, which definitely raised the darkness and pathos of "Sin City" to a whole new level.

So who is left in Sin City? A bunch of prostitutes/women, and a bunch of thugs, and a bunch of ** cockroaches. As the finale of the trilogy, "Sin City" ends in such a desperate way, which is obviously more meaningful.

"Wow......" Frank exclaimed, then paused, and then exclaimed again, "Wow." It sounds like a cool idea, I need to clear my mind, I need a little time. Uh, I'll call you afterward! ”

After all that is said. Frank hung up the phone, Lance threw the phone in the passenger seat, and then fell into his own contemplation, just now it was just a burst of inspiration, all thoughts are incomplete, so he needs to think further deeply.

If we follow the definition just now, Hardigan seems to be on the side of justice again, which conflicts with the core idea of "evil defeating evil with evil" constructed by Lance......

Lance remembered a Clint Eastwood film, "A Perfect World," in which the male protagonist escaped from prison. In order to survive, he took a child hostage, but in the process of getting along, feelings similar to father and son sprouted between the two people, and finally the male protagonist died in order to save the child.

So can Hardigan's setting be the same? He's not a good guy, he's a dirty cop/detective, there's no doubt about it, and the previous definition of the character's evil continues, and Hardigan is a complete criminal. But in Nancy, he found his conscience and finally chose to kill himself. Of course, not because of his maintenance of Nancy. Define him as a good person, he is still a bad guy with his hands full of blood, but this relationship is very different.

Thinking about it, Lance realized that he had arrived at his destination. "Roberto's Garden" - it's time for the annual family gathering again.

Lance found a parking spot and quickly stepped out of the car, and the warm smile of the duty manager, Jack Newman, was quickly recognised. "Mr. Strello, your good fellows are waiting for you." Then he took the initiative to lead the way in front and walked into the restaurant, where Lance soon saw three men already sitting around the table.

Gawain was gesturing and saying something, Ian sat next to him with a smile, becoming the best listener, while Theo sat quietly opposite Ian, his eyes fell on the two people in front of him, but his hands were on the table in a regular manner, and he could vaguely feel the tense muscles under the shirt, as if he was a protector, always alert to all the dangers around him.

"Sorry, I'm late." Lance walked briskly to the table and clashed his fists with his three brothers, an apologetic smile on his face.

"You must have forgotten your time again because of your work." Gawain pointed his index finger at Lance like two pistols, teasingly.

Lance cooperatively raised his hands, "I plead guilty. The helpless gesture of surrender combined with the innocent eyes suddenly made Gawain laugh happily, and even Jack, who was standing on the side, couldn't help laughing.

Ian turned his head to look at Jack, "It's time to start serving." By the way, please give us a glass of honey water. ”

Jack took a step back and nodded politely, knowing that this cup of honey water was for Lance.

Lance sat down beside Theo and cast his gaze a little weakly, "You know I didn't mean to......" The corners of Theo's mouth tugged slightly, his eyes drooped slightly, and he shook his head, "There's always a reason when you're working, isn't it?" The cold words suddenly made Lance's expression turn into a bitter gourd face, and he raised his hand again with a slight frown and made a gesture of surrender, "You know there will be a next time." ”

This sentence made Theo roll his eyes speechlessly, "Then what else do you explain." With that, he placed a small basket of candy in front of him in front of Lance.

The expression on Lance's face couldn't help but bloom, and he reached for a candy, expertly peeled off the wrapper, and threw it into his mouth before he said, "So, what were you talking about?" ”

"Gawain said that a newcomer came in the team and was late for training because he was participating in Pai duì, and all the coaching staff already knew about it, but he still opened his eyes and said nonsense, and as a result, he was kicked directly to the training team." Ian summed up Gawain's tirade in a few words, and said it lightly.

Lance pursed his lips and tucked his chin away, "Oh. ”

Gao Wen's eyes widened, "The process is much more exciting than this, okay!" Here's the thing......"
