A work of prose, art, and action

Rating: 10/10 (12 October 2003)

Kill Bill is one of the best movies I have ever seen. It presents the theme more so in its gory action than in the scant (yet adequate) dialogue. Fight is the art that conveys the emotions of the characters. Tarantino has effectively remade the samurai revenge movie, a true tribute to classic grind house films that we all know and love. In this remake, Tarantino presents a stunning theme which it applicable to everyday life and our world today: revenge begets revenge. This is clear right from the confrontation with Vernita Green and also through the History of O-ren Ishii. Only Tarantino could take such and apropos theme, mix it with the best actors and actresses, and wrap it all up with awesome fight choreography and oftentimes hilarious special effects. This movie was an instant addition to my favourites list if not "the" favourite!
