Kill Bill
Wiggle the big toe . . .
Spoilers included
This is a very exceedingly artistic action movie of pure violence, not for the tender hearts at all . . .
Ho Haaa ! ! ! What a movie ! When I first saw the trailer for Kill Bill V 1 I had some doubts about Tarantino's 4th installment. Tarantino is a God among Gods of Cinema, Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction, Jackie Brown and finally the Kill Bill installment are his running legacy of pure talent and brilliance.
We all know the story is about Uma's revenge from her former ronin/assassins crew on the day of her marriage (pregnant). She falls in a coma and wakes up round four years from the incident, nemesis is her soul fate. The action scenes are so convincing that you soon are caught in the flame of this story, about the grave journey our beautiful Uma Thurman lady warrior takes her revenge through a vengeance kill list, its time to settle scores. I loved this movie, I loved Uma's performance, she is no dumb blond on the road, but a tough convincing warrior who honors the code. The movie is as great and enchanting as the mighty Hattori Hanzo sword, the great Sonny Chiba is Hanzo the retired sword master who meets The Bride's (Uma) dangerous vermin with a hand made cutting edge sword.
Vermin: Noun `1. Vermin - an irritating or obnoxious person Varmint bad person - a person who does harm to others
2. Vermin - any of various small animals or insects that are pests'
Uma's is breath taking in this wicked action experience. Her shoots are so clear, her attitude in place, humor around, physically able to perform spectacular sword fighting scenes. She is a queen; I salute her for her G Globe best actress nomination and wish that such time and effort put in The Bride's character mustn't pass unrewarded.
As for the king him self, Tarantino he has done it again, still amazing, proving that a film is nothing more than a cool story, good script, bunch of potential talents and the mind that directs them. He did succeed in bringing his long time dream of making a Kung Fu-Ninja cult piece. The blood and violence is elevated a notch, but Tarantino delivers his black fades and black and white cameras to comfort us and relieve us of excess. Also Tarantino manages to improve his work by smoothing out the scenes, not making it slow as his former masterpieces, but in fact accelerates. I can still hear the sword clash in my head. The sound score and tracks are in place. You can touch the relation of this movie with Quentin's True Romance story where various scenes include samurai sword fights
I think that Sergio Leone would have been proud of Tarantino's talent to bring back those very old entertaining movies from the golden age of cinema.
Manga animations, Mighty bloody, Humor, Lots of swords, and A mind blowing end can't wait to watch volume 2.
Put in mind that this is no Charlie's Angels movie, it's a juicy dose of artistic adrenaline.
8/10 with a smile on thy face !
