Big Yellow Unit Rules

Rating: Null/10 (12 May 2004)

I think a lot of people maybe missed the point about this film The total of what it is, is an Uma Thurman love fest, told against the backdrop of men that have only contempt for women. It's excellent to see the other guys have a say-or shall we make that, a final word.
Plus, I give Uma Thurman a lot of credit. The demands of making love with Quentin Tarantino were gargantuan. (I love that word, but I hardly ever get to use it in a complete sentence.)
The visuals in the film were excellent and I think Mr. Tarantino's strongest skills. The contrast of b&w scenes, color scenes, and colorized scenes, and even `home movie' footage, the highly stylized costuming, the lighting perfectly effective throughout. Even the soundtrack is nice and effective in volume 2, as it definitely was not in volume 1.
So what if it's a lame story (it totally is). So what if David Carradine has an annoying lisp (and it is very annoying). So what if kung fu guy's hair style rivals Donald Trump's. None of it matters. Because, Mommy rules!

Thanks for the fun, QT.
