Frank Miller

Mad World was definately inspired by Frank Miller. Miller is one of the most accomplished comic aritsts, who can claim to having his own style. The whole black, white and red look comes from his comic book Sin City. Sin City is mostly known for the film, that was one of the most visually interesting films of the last ten years. The style is so powerfull, msot people who hate black and white films enjoyed the refreshing take. Miller also created the film titles, 'The Spirit' which continued his work from Sin City. The film was not that interesting as a film, but visually the film succeeded. It took the style of Sin City and added more complex camera work. This allowed for a more fluid experience that rivalled any major film. Watching The Spirit made me realise that style can sometimes capture the audience over substance.
