please forgive me Mr. Tarantino

Rating: 10/10 (15 May 2004)

After watching Kill Bill Volume 1, I felt as if I had been raped. While it certainly did hold my attention, and quenched my most primal urges, the sentient part of me was disgusted, and I felt truly betrayed. Either that, or Tarantino had completely lost his mind.
After seeing Volume 2 (to which I was dragged kicking and screaming) I am ashamed to have pre-judged. Suffice to say this movie complements the first in a way I could not have imagined.
I usually leave the movie theatre with the feeling that I have been manipulated into embracing some perverse, often self-contradictory, ideology. Not tonight, though, this one is honest, and explores a subject taboo in Hollywood.
Congrats Mr. Tarantino, you are Champion. ...both films together, 10 out of 10.
