her life and then kill
Bill.
Review:
Waiting for the complete, uncut, ultimate version of this movie. Those 2
releases make me feel like there's something still untold, uncomplete.
This is a movie we need to see in its whole dimension. I like Tarantino's
style. He doesn't make any new thing... he's good in doing what he likes
more. His genders, his styles, all these elements keep his craft always
particular and very very interesting. Go Beatrix go, slic'em nice!
The absurdity of splitting in 2 one single movie was a really bad idea,
Tarantino said ok to Studio's will but i think Tarantino wanted to split
it anyway, today nobody except maybe 1 person in
the cinema business may
do things on his own without looking studios complaints and needs. So it
was done, we had kb1 and then after slightly 1 year kb2. People waited,
people watched, people bought them both. Now it's time to have the
ultimate edition, 1 single long movie without any break, without any
censorship and without any stupid warning. Every movie it's fiction,
fiction it's not reality, if you can't distinguish from fiction to reality
then you got serious problems so go get some serious cure.
Tarantino uses a wonderful cast, he grew stronger in terms of self trustness,
his power is also shown considering the terms of the movie(s) he is doing
with KB. This guys got his numbers, camera movements, lots of quotes,
he brings the original kung-fu crew back. Only listing the actors working
in KB it's possible to understand how much budget Tarantino was able to
"waste".
Here's the stellar cast, well not all but most of it: Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica A. Fox, Daryl Hannah, David Carradine, Michael Madsen, Julie Dreyfus, Chiaki Kuriyama, Sonny Chiba, Chia Hui Liu, Michael Parks, Michael Bowen, Jun Kunimura, Kenji Ohba, Yuki
Kazamatsuri, Bo Swenson, Jannie Epper, Stephanie L.Moore, Samuel L.Jackson,
Shana Stein, Caitlin Keats. If you don't have clear ideas on what to do
then you may have all actors you want but you will never make a
movie.
I used on purpose "waste" because i did expect more than this
from Tarantino, Kill Bill in is unique version is certainly better than
the 2 pseudo installments already seen. And since we are not lucky as
Japan markets whose get its original Kill Bill saga all in one, with no
black and white, full blood dripping and with a brand new cut made by
Tarantino, we have to wait then. I don't expect less than promised, one
european unique Kill Bill version, full loaded and full red blood dripping.
Now, Kill Bill it's not a story of violence but violence it's necessary to
bring back the balance, to make life go straight again. Every day life it's
full over loaded of/with violence, we almost get used to it. Representing
violence but in its grottesque way to appear it's one of Tarantino's best
gift. Here in this movie violence it's not the main figure, but all
figures we have in Kill Bill must deal with violence itself untill
extremes results in the end. More than violence love can turns table, move
mountains, gets the best results and give serious pain. Kill Bill it's a
story of violence and blood but most especially it's a story of love.
The best Tarantino's movie is still the first he made, Reservoir Dogs,
Kill Bill anyway goes among the others, just as good as the others but
without the real shine Reservoir Dogs had and still has now.
