Sin City (again)

[tinyman]

Just saw it the other day. so amazing.

Possible spoilers(?)

but what's with the beginning on the balcony and the end meeting in the hospital elevator? Was that meant to fit in with the three main stories at all and I just missed the connection, or is that pieces from other sin city stories that may come in future movies? Or was the first part just setting the vibe of the city (and the movie) and i really shouldn't be reading anymore into it?

i had never heard of these comics/books/novels/whatever before this movie came along. so i know nothing.
