Revenge of The Bride

Rating: Null/10 (29 August 2009)

Excellence is the only word suitable for this movie and story it is telling.When i first saw this movie, to me it was the bloodiest movie i have ever seen until then. Tarantino was under strong influence of Sergio Leone and his "spaghetti westerns" and Japanese violent cartoons which is obvious throughout all of the film. One master of cinematography used the best from another one and combined that to create such an excellent artistic masterpiece. There is some combination of action music from 1960s and 1970s movies mixed in unique style which is addition to almost perfect tale. Story about Black Mamba (Uma Thurman) who decided to quit with her profession of assassin after she discovered that she is pregnant. She left the gang of assassins led by her former husband Bill (David Carradine) and tried to live ordinary life in some small place in American south-west,but Bill did not forgive her that, and when she was marrying another guy he came to wedding with his gang and killed everyone present. In that massacre she was so injured that she spent next four years in coma. She could be killed by Elle Driver (Deryl Hannah) while she was in coma but Bill changed his mind and ordered Elle not to kill her because his regret of what he and his gang did to her. He understood that he made such a terrible mistake and decided to give her a fair chance to have her revenge if she can. If he ordered her murder while she was in coma that would be against their warrior code and honor. When she wake up from coma and escaped from hospital her revenge began. During both parts (vol.1 and vol.2) we see personnel stories of all members of the gang-O Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu), Vernita Green (Vivica .A.Fox),Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus),Budd (Michael Madsen) and other people. We see what led to events that eventually became conflict between Black Mamba and rest of them. We see bloody revenge as one by one all gang members get killed except Sofie (left alive with hands cut-off) and Elle-blinded when Manba chopped out her second eye (first was chopped out by Chinese master who was their instructor,Elle later killed him by poisoning him) which is the most shocking scene in both volumes ( i had to turn my head off when i saw that). We see bloody fight in Japanese restaurant with lots of people killed (also shocking) and clash between O Ren Ishii and Mamba. By the end there is a final clash between Mamba and Bill. What a scene. Excellence in simplicity. Before that she discovered that her daughter is alive and with Bill. They both tell her a story for good night before their final clash. After Bill is killed, she leaves with her daughter. Story about one thing called Revenge. And it is served cold.
