Quentin Tarantino - The greatest movie director of all time

Rating: 10/10 (28 December 2005)

The plot revolves around The Bride AKA Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) who goes on a two volume murderous spree to kill her mentor and lover Bill (David Carradine) after having her wedding rehearsal stopped and all inside the chapel killed. In volume 1, Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox)and O-Ren-Ishii (Lucy Lui), who together with Budd (Michael Madsen) and Elle Driver (Darryl Hannah) form part of Bill's Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, are her targets. With this film, Tarantino has certainly surpassed himself after giving us the classics Reservoir Dogs, Pulp Fiction and Jackie Brown. As usual, for a Tarantino film, the soundtrack is perfect and the dialogue very witty. Tarantino does not spare the viewers from bloody scenes such as the one where The Bride fights off O-Ren-Ishii's Crazy 88. The film shifts from spaghetti western style in the opening sequence to oriental style in the last half of the movie. Tarantino goes as far as to show typical Japanese cartoons to illustrate O-Ren-Ishii's life as a child. This mixture is blended together perfectly by flawless acting. A classical movie not to be missed by anyone.
