Ah yes, Quentin Tarantino's answer to the Samurai genre of films. What I love about this film is how beautiful it is. I love Uma Thurman's character and her thirst of revenge for almost being killed. My favorite sequence is the fight between Uma and the mob of black clad fighters all in black and white. It takes away the goriness and leaves the beauty of the fight. Granted we still see arterial spray but we are numbed to it just like the main character. We understand her cutting through the fighters like a warm knife through butter.
My second favorite sequence is the sword fight in the snow at the end of the film. It's mesmerizing, it's elegant, it's daring, and it's beautiful to behold.
I was never a big Quentin Tarantino fan until I saw this film. This is one film I will be adding to my film collection very soon. Quentin has an eye for detail and understands genre's of film. Just like "Reservoir Dogs" was a homage to the Rat Pack films of the 50's. "Kill Bill" introduces movie goers to the world of the Samurai and revenge.
