A story of vengeance written in blood
Who doesn't love a good old revenge tale packed in a thriller? A plot where the main character is done wrongly by their peers and then sets out to vow bloody vengeance against those who committed the betrayal. Kill Bill is without a doubt, the holy grail of revenge movies. Despite being very bloody and gory, the film successfully delivers its sweet story of revenge in a comical way. Indeed, it is the masterpiece of director Quentin Tarantino, who made $180 million off the movie, that keeps people glued to their seats, anxious on seeing the fate of the tale's heroine. For a euphoric 111 minutes of limb chopping, heads flying, and sword clashing, you're in Kill Bill for a once-in-a- lifetime experience. The movie starts with our pregnant protagonist being attacked on her wedding rehearsal by a band of assassins, who used to be her co-workers. The later half of the movie focuses on the bride in launching her revenge, after being comatose for 4 years. The highlight of the movie, I mean besides the non-stop action packed plot, is the actress. Uma Thurman plays an incredible job as a no-mercy bad ass who won't let anything get in her way. In her journey of murder, she encounters several characters, whose actors nonetheless deserve credit. Lucy Liu, the antagonist who acted as salt and pepper to the story, played an outstanding job as a female, Chinese-American boss of the Yakuza. Of course the Yakuza boss had to be a Female Chinese American, I mean, it's Quentin Tarantino, throw all wishes of the ordinary out the window! The cinematography of the movie is no-less than superb. Quentin Tarantino employs a mix of black and white shots, conventional color crisp shots, and a short scene of anime versions of the characters. The background and details are exquisite, with scenes in a big metropolis in one moment, then a traditional Japanese eatery in another. The mixture of different approaches towards the scenes really made the movie unique. Who would've thought from a glance, that a blonde southern US girl is a master of the katana? Kill Bill is a feast for the eyes and mind.
