Comparison of Double Indemnity & Sin City

The are many differences between Sin City and Double Indemnity. One and I think most powerful difference is how women are treated in both movies. Sin City sees women as an sexual object, they are not respected, beaten by men and violent. In Double Indemnity they're dominating and seductive. They have power over the men. There are some characteristics in Sin City which have colors like red lipstick/dress/sky, blonde hair, yellow character. Whereas Double Indemnity is only in black and white.
Also the killing scenes are not graphically depicted, the killings are more subtle and implied, whereas in Sin City, brutal scenes of gore and violence are common place, due to it's comic book nature.

Sin City



Sin City is a 2005 movie created in a film noir style. It is in black and white but it has some colors too, like for example: red dress and lipstick, blonde hair, red sky. In the movie women are seen as an object and are not respected. Some parts of the movie look like they've been taken out of a comic book.
They're seem to be unreal and over powered. Good example, when one man over powers 10 policemen and easily breaks the door, or when another man jumps off the 5 floor of the block and he's absolutely fine. There is loads of violence in the movie, and the violent scenes show how brutally people are murdered. Sometime its with the bare hands of a man. The characters use modern slang language.  Sin City is a film noir movie amalgamated with comic book stylings and motifs.
