Graceful.

Rating: Null/10 (24 April 2004)

A mixture of different genres. I, as before admire QT's choices of songs. It is evident how they had to cut out the "If it is Christ you seek" part in the Pai Mei chapter... and how I feel it turned out better that they stopped it at the dinner table scene where Beatrix hands are ruined to pick up chopsticks.
Was rather starteld at the fact that they had to reveal what Elle later did to Pai Mei ... "You treacherous dog".
Had mixed feelings about QT NOT including the monologue of Beatrix in the coffin where she was to say "You've been breathing like you've just been f----- but it mighta seemed awkward if he put that in anyway. so there.

A fun piece of artful cineplex made by a man who truly puts all his heart into what he does; what he did with this one.
On another bewildered note, the fight with Bill is NOT how you people who read the s.p. expect it to be. Its really quick. But I'm glad to report that the dim-mak stuff was portrayed onscreen just right. No sound fx though about the "exploding heart".
Did she really kill Bill?
Anyways, have fun at the end credits seeing footage of Vol. 1 looking back at those sober times when you couldn't wait for the chopped off second half.

10/10
