I love this movie.
Tarentino is a genius. This movie has many twists and turns, and there's something about the way it's shot that you can't tear your eyes from. One thing I noticed was the color usage -- quite a bit of hue for such a macabre film, but for some reason this blended with it perfectly.
Which brings me to my next point: this movie pulled off some tricks that any other flick probably couldn't. For instance, when The Bride was comatose in the hospital bed, they split the screen to show Elle Driver disguising herself as a nurse. That in it's own right was risky, because most flicks who try that tend to butcher the scene. Not the case with Kill Bill. And despite the fact that Elle Driver was preparing to commit murder, the music was oddly a cheerful and uplifting ditty. Fantastic!
That actually happens a lot in this movie. You hear music that you wouldn't normally find fitting for such a scene, but for some reason when it's thrown into the mix, it turns out beautifully. In addition, I am a militant anime hater - and even I enjoyed the segment explaining(Lou's) life, I found it morbidly artistic.
Just as a warning, though, this movie has a lot of gore! If you're squeamish to bloody sword fights and decapitation, you probably shouldn't watch this one of a big screen. Otherwise, enjoy this flick, I know I did!
