You know a movie's good when it gets better each time you watch it....

There are certain movies that are just so amazing you almost can't review them because what can you say that hasn't already been said? Such is the case with Kill Bill. In fact my review of Pulp Fiction was quite short as well. Terrentino's movies are so brilliant in their making that even if you don't like them you gotta be awed at the not so simple task of making these movies. And in the case of this one, there isn't one performance that isn't Oscar worthy. And I think it deserves it's place in the IMDb top 250 even more then Pulp Fiction.
Kill Bill is a movie I enjoyed throughly and part two is more my thing then one because I am simply more into talky dialog driven movies then movies with less talk and more violence but since 1 and 2 are part of the same film basically spread out over time, I Don't suppose it matters. Nothing brilliant to add-it's all been said.
BUT A FEW SPOILERS NOW:
My favorite scenes may have been where the bride trains with Pai Mei and the non verbal as well as verbal interaction between them. I sorta wish all performers in this could win Oscars. Just one interesting note to those who may not have seen this.
The best films are actually stories that come to life in such a vivid way that they cease to become movies and become a true to life story unfolding in front of you. Kill Bill could be a walking advertisement for such a film. Call it twisted, odd, call it talky, call it violent and unnecessarily brutal(And part two IS violent have no doubt about it). It is all the things mentioned. But it is also an intense movie where the characters are so real you feel like you can reach out and touch them. The direction is perfect and you are with the bride on her heartbreaking journey every step of the way. There isn't one scene in the movie that could have been done any better.
The movie is upsetting, to be sure, and will haunt you for days afterward. But the most interesting thing is how hooked you will become without knowing you are hooked. For anything about the movie someone may not enjoy, (if indeed there are any), If you decide to walk out, there will probably come a point when you just won't able to. Great script. Q & U did good!
