Great Work of Art

Rating: 10/10 (23 June 2004)

"Kill Bill: Vol. 1" is a great work of art. Despite the violent theme, it is a ballet in cinema. The color is vibrant. The use of black and white photography is very well adapted. This technique helps to subdue the extreme violence toward the end of the movie. Uma Therman is magnificent in her portrayal of a young woman with revenge on her mind. Her ability to perform the marshall arts is remarkable. Her eyes are piercingly blue, and her emotional presentation is perfect in her role. There are scenes that are totally done in cartoon, and this too helps to allay the fears of the violent episodes that frequent this cinema. One must add this to their library of great films. This director is a true genius. If you have not seen it on the big screen, the DVD is perfectly well done.
