Kill Bill’s irony

30th Sep 2008 by Chris

Two days ago, my youngest sister was suddenly in the mood to watch Kill Bill again.  Well, since none at home had any violent reactions, we watched Volume 1 at around 8pm.  Supposedly, my honey and I were to discuss something very important that night, but then we opted to lounge in the sala and watch Uma Thurman and David Carradine in Kill Bill.

The fact that I last watched this movie for around a year already, I was trying to figure out the sequence of the scenes.  I have already forgotten parts of it, but still remember those that were really striking for me.  Quentin Tarantino is really a one of a kind producer.  His Kill Bill movie follows a different kind of sequencing.. we even thought we were watching Volume 2!

My sister doesn’t really remember watching it before, but of course we do.  She made a lot of comments like the music wasn’t really very suitable with the scene, or that why are the blood scenes exaggerated?? and even.. why is there an anime portion?? Quentin had a different strategy, but we liked it (at least my honey and I know we do).  I like the transition of the scenes, wherein it was presented like a book (from where it really was derived from).  The scenarios themselves were a bit cruel, sometimes realistic, sometimes exaggerated.. but nonetheless wonderful.  Kill Bill had the best casting, and even the dialogs themselves where sometimes intriguing.  Its a different kind of attention-grabbing movie (like the Eagle Eye, War of the Worlds, etc).  It had its own way of keeping the audience in the loop and always wanting more. more…
