The Bride is Back for the Final Cut
Beatrix Kiddo deserves to take revenge and we…we deserve to die Bill! At last, exalted director Tarantino's epic movie Kill Bill Vol-2 is on the screen, which emerges as a brilliant and impressing piece of work. Vol-2 was a perfect way to conclude the story and much better than Vol-1.
In my opinion, it was the coolest Tarantino movie ever. When you put the two volumes together, believe me, a masterpiece of work comes out. When I consider the entire movie, I can definitely see that the film included many genres in itself. It was a fascinating show of Asian martial arts, unexpectedly funny in some scenes (vol 2), and surprisingly a relationship drama (vol 2). Since the movie was completely a revenge story that is supported by an inside look into the hearts and minds of violent people, the representation was mind blowing.
As in the first movie, Vol-2 unfolds in chapters. The first chapter takes the audience to the deadly Texas chapel where David Carradine plays his flute, Uma Thurman comes out and a romantic dialog between the two takes place. That scene was a perfect way of showing a reunion and goodbye where D. Carredine thinks that it was the scene of his career. Then the story goes on with several flash-backs and everything becomes clear with each passing minute.
Then a chapter comes out that solely focuses on Thurman's education in Asian martial arts by Pei Mei. Actually this chapter has the funniest scenes of the film, where the character "Pei Mei" is enough to make you laugh. I think, this chapter was more special then others through the key fighting methods Thurman learns. Since Thurman was the strongest member of the group, her character seems to be clever enough to use these fighting methods on the right victim at the right time.
Tarantino stated that this movie was a different dimension of his imagination. Carridine adds: “Both films were kung-fu, samurai, and spaghetti (Italian) western love stories. But the second movie has more life like characters, funny stuff and surprises.”
Moreover, the score was put together well enough to keep you in the mood and make you recapture the experience of the film anytime in the future. "Malcolm Mclaren-About Her, Lole Manuel-Tu mira and Shivaree-Goodnight Moon" were the strongest songs for me.
Professional directing, smooth editing, perfect choice of music, strong screenwriting and more…
I totally loved the movie!
