Once again Quentin Tarantino has made it!After reservoir dogs,pulp fiction and Jackie brown he makes an unbelievable masterpiece divided into two parts. The movie starts with a pregnant woman(Uma Therman) in a wedding dress being shot in the head by someone called Bill.Fortunately she doesn't die but falls for four years in comma.It is revealed that before she wakes up,her senseless body was being raped day by day over payment.Then action starts with the woman waking up and killing the two rapists.After spending many hours of practicing in order to bring her feet in life and killing one of her executioners ,starts her journey in order to get revenge of the guys that killed everybody in her wedding but considering herself failed to get the job done. First of all she finds the famous katana maker Hattori Hanzo(Sonny Chiba)and gets the best sword he has ever created,finds the notorious O- Ren Ishii(whose story is being revealed in some great manga-like violent scenes as well as her gang's).Then the party begins...In the following extremely violent,gory yet stylish scenes,the bride kills Ishii's whole gang,the crazy 80 and in the end Ishii herself.The movie ends with the bride sending Ishii's best friend and member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad(the ones that killed everyone in the bride's wedding),completely severed to Bill in order to inform him that she is coming to kill him. To sum up Kill Bill vol.1 is a true masterpiece.Great scenario,direction,actors' playing and of course superb soundtrack.In other words typical Tarantino...
