RE: Some great shots, and cool soundtrack.

Rating: 9/10 (13 June 2004)

There are some exquisite shots in this film, look out for the shot where The Bride (Urm Thurman) goes into the washroom and hears Sofie Fatale (Julie Dreyfus), its just one long continuous shot, no cuts. Check it out.
Now I know some the slash and hack can be a little gruesome, but those sound effects are a killer arnt they? Sorry, it could just be me, but even throughout the gore, it raised a smile.
Soundtracks are a key feature in a Tarintino film, where merely they are often incidental to the action, with Tarintino they are often centre stage.
For example the soundtrack in the showdown between the Bride and Cottonmouth adds to the occasion. Especially in those settings, with the water feature in and the gentle falling snow. And doesn't O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) show both the vulnerability and strength of the Samari Sword, and by god she makes it look sexy.
Finally, I admire the casual humour of Tarinto, one of which was seeing all those Passengers on the plane with their Samari Swords holstered in the walkway, parked as casually as umbrella's, whilst the Bride writes her Kill List. Its little features like this that is the trademark of Tarantino.
Excellent film.
