Bang Bang!

Rating: 9/10 (9 January 2004)

"Little green bag", "Stuck in the middle with you" (Reservoir Dogs), "Son of a preacher man", "Girl, you'll be a woman soon" (Pulp Fiction). These songs changed their meaning for me while watching QT's movies. He has always been a master in combining sound with images. That part of his talent plays a big role in Kill Bill as well.
No funny dialogue, like in his first two movies, this time images and soundtrack do their work. After watching it the first time, I left the theatre overwhelmed. The second time I was enjoying the movie even more, because you can now focus on the craftmanship and tiny details that make it special.
This movie is "bloody as hell", so not for everyone. But you shouldn't be put off by this prospect. It's a masterpiece and is now my 2nd favorite QT movie (after Pulp Fiction).
"Bang bang (he shot me down)" will never sound the same to me again!
