Not as good as lovers say, and better than haters say

Rating: 8/10 (15 October 2003)

Quentin Tarantino is to cinema as The Who is to music. While you can call their works art, the truth is both are entertainers who concentrate on creating things that they like to see/hear. Quentin Tarantino is really nothing more complex than the world's biggest Quentin Tarantino fan. That is not a negative - I too am a big Tarantino fan.
One thing I found interesting is there is a children motif in "Kill Bill". Uma's character starts the film pregnant, Lucy Lui's character endures unspeakable horrors in her youth, Go-Go is only 17 and already a world-class killer, and Viveca A. Fox's child is left alive to perhaps avenge her mother someday.
Perhaps the greatest twist is that Kill Bill will at least be nominated for many technical Oscars even though the film and sound editing are at times deliberately bad.
