KILL BILL VOL 1 (DIDIER BECU)

Rating: 9/10 (2 November 2003)

Is mister Quentin Tarantino a genius? After having watched this one I know the answer is a big yes, perhaps even the best director I can think of and not because out of a sudden you must forget Hitchcock or Kubrick but just because Tarantino makes them different, his movies are things you haven't seen before, he does with violence what Lynch does with the ununderstandable, he is just God... Moneywise I also would like to see Kill Bill in one turn rather than being split up in a volume 1 and 2 but knowing that I wasted tons of money for movies that aren't even worth the time, so not to speak about the money, I am excited to run back to the theatre the day they released vol.2 All the ingredients for a Tarantinomovie are there...superb soundtrack (James Last will never be the same again!!!), great acting from actors you don't expect from (Daryl Hannah is breathtaking), unexpected takes (there is a mangacartoon included) and violence. Violence is the word that makes Tarantino the man and I really hate it if I see that a director is accused of gloryfying death and violence where as a president who sends troops to death is seen as normal. I mean it's just fun...just entertainment and there will be no one around who will take up a sword pretending he is The Bride... The Bride is Uma Thurman who takes revenge on Bill and the gang... You see the story couldn't be more simplier, a bride has been beaten to death (4 years in a coma) and everyone who was at the "party" got killed and once Uma wakes up she must take reference and kill the gang...and Bill will be the last. At least that's what we think as I am sure that vol.2 will be full of surprises. One of the best movies ever made, point!!!
