instant classic

Rating: 10/10 (13 October 2003)

Alright here it goes. Myself and 4 other of my friends got together on opening night to see what we have been anticipating for years. The film opens with these old logos that looked to be re-used from the 1970's. That set the tone, and from then on i could not keep my goosebumps down. I knew that it would be a good film just because it was Tarantino, but it beat my expectations ten fold. During the film, I looked over at one of my friends to see his reaction, he looked over at me with a with his jaw dropped and we just turned back to the film. The words were not spoken but we knew how one another felt about the ridiculously amazing cinematic masterpice that we were witnessing. So I guess that is kind of my metaphor towards how much this film meant to all of us and to everyone else I have talked to about it. It would have been an even better experience if my ex-girlfriend wasn't sitting a few rows up on a date with some jerk. Although I would have been bummed about that for a while, Kill Bill killed my petty jealousy and fueled my desire to create (plus i went back the next night to see it again). Kill Bill is up there with some of my all time favorites along with 2001: A Space Odyssey, Dead Presidents, Foxy Brown, and of course Pulp Fiction.
