Jodie Foster hates Sin City...

[Sawyer]

Foster Offended by 'Sin City'


Jodie Foster has ripped into Robert Rodriguez's Sin City because she found the film offensive. While many critics raved about the director's adaptation of Frank Miller's comic book, Foster admits it's one of the most recent films she switched off after renting it on DVD. Foster rants, "That was so painfully cartoonish I was offended." And she admits that she doesn't enjoy watching films based around abduction and child molestation - as the mother of two young boys. She tells newspaper USA Today, "I don't know how you enjoy or laugh about a child abduction and molestation. What part of that sentence is funny? I can't get beyond that. I don't know if everyone understands the impact of that movie's message."

All I can say is, "Are you s***ting me?" Of course it was cartoonish, it is a direct adaptation of a comic. Whatever, she wants to blast Lindsay Lohan, fine, but this...

And she admits that she doesn't enjoy watching films based around abduction and child molestation

so why she did some of it in the movies if she hated it?

Its just an opinion....no one is making major decisions because of it...lol

 

[Abaddon]

they made fun of child molestation in the film?

Seeing how I recently saw the Brave One, Foster has no room to talk.

My question is, how can she assume that the film was meant to be funny about child molestation? Besides, considering what Hartigan goes to Junior in the movie--twice--I'd say it's pretty much against it.

What's odd is that it's really not that rare--my mom will run away when me or my dad is playing it, simply because it has a character that eats people.

I see her point. I was a HUGE fan of the Sin City comics, and I barely laughed at the books when I read them. I found them gritty, hard-boiled, definitely over the top, but ultimately "bad-assed."

The movie, IMO, was anything but. Just like most of the films Rodriguez makes, they are cartoony, over-the-top, and completely devoid of emotion or pacing. I was annoyed not only by the bad make-up, crap acting (Rourke is an exception), and strange editing and pacing, I was really surprised at how many laughs were elicited during the course of this film. The violence has very little impact as it is so over the top and not balanced by anything sincerely touching or dramatic.

I know people love this film, but I can't stand it. I don't think it really captures the comics very well at all, aside from the look--and to me, that's only "sometimes."

And, even though Sin City is a comic book, I never saw it as "cartoonish." Just because something is a picture, or exists in comic format, doesn't mean it's a "cartoon."

Too bad for her than. Not my problem.

>>>"I don't know how you enjoy or laugh about a child abduction and molestation. What part of that sentence is funny? I can't get beyond that. I don't know if everyone understands the impact of that movie's message."<<<

Sounds like a classic case of "this offends me, therefore it is wrong/immoral" syndrome. I'd like to hear her elaborate on what she perceives as the movie's message.
