I just saw Kill BIll!!!!

#61

CAUTION - SOME SPOILERS
Just saw this last night with a bunch of friends and was amazed. The sound of this film was wonderful - pounding music giving way to enviro sounds during fights back into the crazy music, pure genius. The fight scenes were amazing - you have to have seen anime fight scenes to “get” why the long buildups on the characters before the blades clash is interesting.

I love how every chapter had a slightly different style to it - even the look of the film changed (at the very opening of the the knife fight scene) the film is very saturated with color it looks playful and happy with all the bright toys in the yard. The coma scenes are so washed out and depressing. And then the anime sequence was great, as O-Ren Ishii is a child the animation has a rough hand drawn panic like feel - as she gets older it becomes smoother, more controlled.

All the little things were so enjoyable, the Kaboom cereal was very funny!

Bloody, very. Strange, of course. Did I love it, you bet!

BTW to those who are saying that without the violence and profanity it would be a lost cause. Well to you I say:
LOTR - no struggle between good and evil, no ring = no movie.
Matrix - no struggle between good and evil, no Neo = no movie.
Mary Poppins - no Mary Poppins = no movie.
Anyway you get the idea if you take the central thing away from any book, movie, or game of course it won’t be the same!

One thing I was curious about, did O-Ren Ishi ever realize that it was Bill who killed her father?

Good Movie I love the blend of animation and live action. For people who think it is to gory you have to watch it like you would any cheesy kung fu movie. There is so much blood it makes it funny not gross.

One question I do have for those who have seen the movie is when Lucy Lui is walking down the hall in the restaurant with her gang. What music is being played. It is also the same music they play in the trailer kind of starts with a cool guitar strum? Anyone know?? Thanks!!

i know Quentin Tarantino likes to use the same names and characters from one movie to another, but anyone notice Kill Bill and K. Billy’s Super Sounds of the 70’s? so does that makes Steven Wright Bill?

…jk, or am i?

i think jet li in place of uma thurman would have made it a much better movie. but ehh it was uma and tarrantinos idea in the first place so she isn’t really going to be cut out is she?

looks like a great movie ain’t seen it yet. [/B]

why do people say stuff like this without first seeing the film?

In the anmation they show close up of the sword. It has specific markings on it. I think. I kind of thought it was bill, but I wasn’t sure.

Because the killer had the same ring that Bill wears.

Uma Thurman is my new favorite super hero. I’m no expert on martial arts movies, but I never thought having a non-master for a star hurt the movie at all, I think it might have made it better. Some of her ‘dramatic’ acting, like in the scene in the house, was pretty bad, but that might have been intentional :slight_smile:

That scene when she was crying about her baby dying almost made me possibly even think of kind of crying.

It was one of the best movies that ive seen this year.

I never thought a ‘non ready to see animation’ Audience would have loved the Anime SOOO much , i mean the whole crowd was cheering and hissing.

2D is dead , Interesting 2d isnt.

did anyone notice some really bad continuity jumps? like in the first knife fight scene, where Uma is suddenly under a table, or things just jump around?

Seeing as these were kinda obvious would there be any reason for Taratino to have done them on purpose?

frikin great movie though!!!

its ok. nothing too special.
its got its share of problems. felt choppy. and during the fights, ( especially near the end where the music changes like 4-5 times ) i thought was rather poorly executed.

still a fun movie though.
