But perhaps I’m more skeptical of Tarantino in this post-Weinstein era. I felt like I could see Tarantino at his typewriter cackling at his own wit (at one point in my life, I thought “The Origin of O-Ren” was extremely clever).

Watching this movie now, some of the cinematic gimmicks feel a bit hollow, or maybe obvious is the better word. The Bride travels the world collecting limbs and corpses, until she reaches her final target: Bill. She wakes up and, distraught over losing her baby, she plots to kill the people involved. But The Bride survived, laying in a coma. She was presumed dead after being shot in the head by her ex-lover and boss Bill (David Carradine). Four years ago, The Bride was the victim of a massacre as a result of having left the squad upon becoming pregnant. Her visceral, grueling, empathetic lead performance made what could be an empty exercise quite emotionally compelling.Ī dangerous assassin known only as The Bride (Thurman) sets out to exact her revenge against her former co-members of an elite squad of killers and criminals. The film’s star Uma Thurman was the main draw for me.
But, Kill Bill has a special place in my heart, though it’s not because of the metatextual references or clever structure. Sure, Jackie Brown and Inglourious Basterds could arguably be called his objective best films. Since then Kill Bill has become my favorite Tarantino movie. 2 in April 2004), the violent saga was my first Tarantino movie and an introduction to what postmodern filmmaking could look like. It’s been fifteen years since the release of Kill Bill, Quentin Tarantino’s four-plus hour kung fu/western epic.
