| It�s like the breasts of Halle in Swordfish. It�s contributes nothing to the plot, but it doesn�t hurt it, so why don�t you let the audience have fun? Because in Kill Bill, if you don�t like swordfights, it�s a complete waste of your time. It�s one and all fights. So the writer lets us witness his wildly imagination (and of the choreographers) what may become the greatest swordfight in the history of cinema. No kidding. And who am I to stop them? But here�s my critique in short * Some chapters were too short, making it feel unbalanced. * I didn�t care for the characters. * The appearance of ever character (except The Bride and Bill) were way too short, especially Pai Mei. Little or no background information is given, like from who did The Bride learned the Tiger and Crane technique? * The Pai Mei sequence feels out of place, since everything before and after this particular chapter could have happened for real, but this chapter feels fake. It�s sort of like placing Yoda in Reservoir Dogs. But Tarantino�s grounded-to-the-earth direction will make it believable. But can he act him believable? Eitherwise, I�m happy he�s there, because he will be the character everyone�s going to talk about when they exit the theater. * There were some unnecessary things in it. Like showing Uma�s pussy (yes, you�ve read it correctly) and describing every item in the closet, which The Bride and Vernita crashes in. * The existence of a wallet named Big El Paso Pimpin�. It seems as a repetition of the Bad Motherfucker. * It would have been more clearer for me if Quentin accentuated The Bride�s and Bill�s pre-hate-relationship earlier in the script more. * The �like a 60's television show� introduction of the DiVAS reads cool, but I can�t imagine it on screen not looking ridiculous. * I can�t really see the reason why Quentin wants to use split-screen, except of being different. * The Bride in the last chapter dressed as a... bride? * The * BLEEP *? Everytime The Bride�s real name is mentioned her name will be bleeped away. And at the end when I heard her name, I thought... so? * Too many difficult words. Who says... THE BRIDE Tell me Mr. Barrel, why don't you wear your Kato mask? Are you an iconoclast? ...nowadays anyway? By the way, an iconoclast means �One who attacks and seeks to overthrow traditional or popular ideas or institutions�. |
