Entertaining as Hell!!

Rating: 9/10 (31 May 2017)

Kill Bill is the fourth entry film from the writer-director Quentin Tarantino. As for a fan of Anime or any Japanese related chattels, this film illustrates these themes thoroughly. This film is radically popular for its hardcore bloody violence that seems as a disturbance for the foretime but diverts into a huge laughter for it's over the top bloody violence. It's passably aware that this violence aren't realistic and a positive is, it knows. Not only does this film make for an enjoyable blood ride, it makes up for a distinctive action flick.
Kill Bill follows a tale of the Bride (Uma Thurman), who was ruthlessly violated, harmed and shot in the head by a bullet from a gun, her baby was vigorously removed from her unconsciousness. After 4 years of coma, she wakes up to seek revenge to all the relatives of Bill, her former husband surrounding an outright of five criminals. Additionally, this plot synopsis may seem undoubtedly familiar as it semblances same cycles from its genre. However, the direction that was prevailed, made a frequent revenge plot very different and alarming. It is separated into two volumes as it is detailed into casual plot points and uncommonly well-written in order to give sympathy for our main hero's success and an intimacy for all the personage. It could be regarded as a pop culture action flick as it has one of the best movie scores that is very commonly and popularly used in most of all action flicks. The Bride sets off a journey to these two enemies O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu) and Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox) who were one of the violators of the five and have a clear relationship with Bill. As we've come to expect in a Tarantino film, there is doubtlessly over the top violence with supreme blood. It may lead the audiences incredibly disturbed, but as the film lunges, it makes us laugh with uttermost laughter for all the bloody violence and gore. It may leave us a feel of oddity and bizarreness and the outcome of being sickened by the absurdness, but it is truly self-aware of its absurdity and extraordinary. In addition, this film has a major appreciation towards Japanese culture, especially its location and a strong usage of 'anime'. Tarantino uses the location very energetically in Japan at a temple like a mansion. Action films nowadays tend to use 'shaky cam' to intensify its tension and hide poor stunt coordinates. In the other hand, this film is the complete diverse of these camera industries. It has a sense of steadiness so we can observe all the action that is proceeding in the scenes. Instead of shakiness, sometimes it has a taste of fast cuts and edits in some sections but handles this professionally. Plus, the movie contains one of the best duel scenes with only Japanese swords with The Bride and the Crazy 88's. It is a jaw-droppingly remarkable sequence that never tries to hinder. Robert Richardson uses the cinematography immaculate with saturated colors and a taste of archaism. Uma Thurman is terrific as The Bride progressively and is splendid to a harmed female character that may empower female roles in movies.
Overall, Kill Bill is a very different film compared to mainstream action flicks these days. It may be controversial but the action sequences are filmed marvelously containing tons of bloody violence that may not be for everyone. However, one cannot deny the fact it is immensely entertaining and riveting to watch as a standard action flick and a light-hearted dramatic film.
