Storyline
The lead character, called 'The Bride,' was a member of the Deadly Viper
Assassination Squad, led by her lover 'Bill.' Upon realizing she was
pregnant with Bill's child, 'The Bride' decided to escape her life as a
killer. She fled to Texas, met a young man, who, on the day of their
wedding rehearsal was gunned down by an angry and jealous Bill (with the
assistance of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad). Four years later,
'The Bride' wakes from a coma, and discovers her baby is gone. She,
then, decides to seek revenge upon the five people who destroyed her
life and killed her baby. The saga of Kill Bill Volume I begins.
User Reviews
A lot of people have
come up to me and said "How can you love Quentin that much, he is just
too extreme!" or "Oh come on, Kill Bill is just SO not realistic.." Yes.
No.
Mr. Quentin Tarantino is rather extreme, yes, and it's
lovely! And No. Kill Bill is not realistic, but it's not meant to be
realistic! Just like... Lord of the Rings, that's not realistic either!
But because it has clear unreal elements, like wizards, it's acceptable?
You
don't go to see Kill Bill, or any other Q.T-film to see "Stepmom", in
the same way you don't go to a Marilyn Manson concert hoping that they
will play some Spice Girls..
Kill Bill, both volume 1 and 2, is
absolutely gorgeous! The art direction is beautiful! The camera angles
are perfect... just Gorgeous! The lighting, the sound, the dialogs...
and of course, the details! No one works with small details the way
Quentin does. I must also say that the soundtrack is brilliant and the
whole film is just so well casted! Uma Thurman is perfect in the leading
role, Darryl Hannah has never been this good before, ever! And Chiaki
Kuriyama, even though she has a quite small role, is excellent, even
better than she is in "Battle Royale". David Carradine is painfully
perfect, Michael Madsen is ALWAYS excellent, but never as good as when
he works with Tarantino. I must also say that Sonny Chiba was great.
I've never been a big fan of Vivica A Fox until now, and I used to think
that Lucy Liu was just your average actor but she turned out to be
fierce. Pretty much everyone who is in this film is ten times better
than they've ever been.
