The Story of a Woman Who Wants To Revenge Herself

Rating: 7/10 (18 December 2003)

The Bride was once part of a group of female assassins: till she changed her life, took a new name and, pregnant, decided to get married, but not succeeded since her former boss, Bill, with her former companions arrived and killed everybody at the ceremony and apparently her as well.
As a matter of fact she was not dead. And she decided to make her revenge. To kill all those who tried to kill her and succeeded in killing all the people at the ceremony and the child she was waiting for as well.
I liked 'Kill Bill' very much. It follows the attempts and adventures of women warriors who fight and hate each other. Like in old epic stories people fight for principles despite concrete restrictions or unlikeliness. As a matter of fact Tarantino does not describe his characters with many details: they are mainly characters, not people meat and bones...And that is what makes the movie so fascinating, throws you in the universe of ideals, of old riders stories. Even the description of characters (Cottonmouth for example), of their past life is addressed to showing the reason of her ideas, of her personal morality, but not of her emotions or sensations as human being. The use of cartoons helps in this sense.
I wait for the second part...
