  Carlos deVillalvilla reviews
Tarrantino's jumping around in time makes sense; the first name on the list, Cottonmouth - otherwise known as O-Ren Ishii, is the more spectacular and difficult "hit" of the two presented here, and makes a far more fitting finale for this volumne than would the second, which is almost anti-climactic.
Tarrantino also divides the movie into chapters, with each in a different genre; from the Samurai style (the swordmaking sequence) to anime (the Lucy Liu backstory), blaxploitation (the Vivica Fox sequence) and a good, old-fashioned Hong Kong swordfight (The House of the Blue Leaves sequence).
One of the calculated risks Tarrantino took when he agreed to splice his film in two is that some may wind up liking the first volume only after seeing the second, and some may wind up confused or overwhelmed enough by the first to completely skip the second.

Quentin Tarantino said this was because when Tim Roth puts the gun to his head and says "Are you gonna be a hero?", the manager only says "No, I'm just a Coffee Shop-" before Tim Roth cuts him off and starts yelling again.

While I disagree with director Quentin Tarrantino’s decision to release his violent opus Kill Bill in two separate segments, it is impossible to deny the power and sheer entertainment value of either of those two segments, together or apart.
Tarrantino’s new film, like his previous four, is over the top in both character depiction and action.
By releasing the movie as two segments, Tarrantino gets to double dip at the box office, video store and release two separate soundtrack albums filled with his favorite musical cheese from the 60s and 70s.

 Rotten Tomatoes: The Vine: Movies, Raves and Reviews
Tarrantino seems to be quite the fan of, according to his own braggart testimony.
Maybe its his Dyslexic backward nature, maybe because trash is the valued commodity where he came from in Hicksville (Knoxville, Tennessee) that seems to breed other well known forms of JackAsses with money to spend, who offer their contribution to cinema like some cheap graffiti on beautiful canvases.
Tarrantino to the proverbial biblical rabid dog with a bell around its neck, where others view him as a disposable menace while he mistakenly thinks of himself as something less than a parasite — to take without giving back — to deface and irritate — like a dog that is better quarantined.

Welcome to the twisted disturbing world of Quentin Tarrantino where after one of the best fight sequences I've ever seen on film your breath is taken away by the intrusion of a real life element and then jerked back into genre mode so fast you barely have time to think about what you just saw.
But the genius of Tarrantino is his originality no matter what his detractors say.
Tarrantino is familiar enough in the genre worlds he trades in to borrow but he’s also smart enough to know that many of those films, as dynamic and visual as they are, lack many of the other things that would elevate them to being great movies.

Tarrantino also pays homage to Sonny Chiba, casting him as a retired master sword craftsman and the man who trained Bill.
Known for his fondness of irony, Tarrantino cast David Carradine in the title role of Bill, the ruthless and brutal leader of the Deadly Viper Assassin Squad, a role very unlike the character he is best known for from the Kung Fu series of the 70’s; a Shaolin Monk on the lamb.
Tarrantino has written other screenplays with strong female lead characters, but only one other has made it to the screen, “True Romance,” directed by Tony Scott.

Yeah, some swordplay was going to be necessary, but I understood the world the characters lived in and wanted to, obviously, the plot to reach a full-fledged fruition but also to be given a deeper look into the mythology of the characters.
What seems clear to me is that Tarrantino is one of the best character developers in cinema.
So, how Tarrantino approaches some scenes is, in some sense, dependent upon how the actors control their characters.

Nevermind my reservations about one film being split into two separate films, it really is an inventive and eye-grabbing poster.
I can't help but smile at the tagline of "Here comes the Bride" - referring to Uma Thurman's character who goes by "The Bride" after almost being killed on her wedding day.
The mixture of the wedding-gown sleeve and a samurai sword is very clever, and seems quite appropriate for a Tarrantino film (very offbeat and different, as usual).

As one might expect from that pairing, this is no tea party; it's a violent, high energy thrill ride filled with quirk characters usually engaged in shooting, getting shot at, beating the hell out of someone, or getting the hell beat out of them.

Tarrantino knows how to deliver action and sharply drawn characters which keep the viewer engaged.

Quentin Tarrantino and I figured if it was good enough for Lady Snowblood, then it was good enough for us.
Tarrantino has “borrowed” many of the finer points from yet another Asian cinema classic in order to crank out his latest blockbuster, Kill Bill.
If imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, then Tarrantino has erected a golden shrine in honor of Lady Snowblood.

The most oddly dressed and most fatuously enthusiastic of the talking heads is Quentin Tarrantino.
Tarrantino's 1997 homage Jackie Brown (with Pam Grier in the title role resonating with earlier triumphs such as Foxy Brown) comes in for criticism (from Armond White) for overuse of the n-word.
When I saw Baadasssss Cinema on IFC, it was followed by Superfly, which disproved White's contention about the restraint with which it was used in the 70s blaxploitation movies.

There's also a very bitter, sorrowful tone to the film that is easy to overlook during the fights and general carnage, but is very present, and very important to the tone.
Gratuitous in the most passionate, brutal and aesthetically exacting way, this first half of Quentin Tarantino's blood-drenched mash note to the eclectic, disreputable genres he grooved on as a kid is a remarkably pure orchestration of imagery and attitude.
The content of those magnificently moving pictures is whatever the opposite of pure might be: an endless orgy of degradation, dismemberment, cruelty and bile.

I'd seen the first half already when it was in the theaters, but Prairie hadn't, and it was quite fun to watch them both back-to-back.
After watching Kill Bill, I don't think Tarantino could film someone getting a paper cut without attaching a spurting jet of blood to it (which, to me at least, is a fairly amusing mental image).
Apparently there is — Tarrantino is planning on a third part to the Kill Bill saga.

I'll reiterate: a great cast, terrific cinematography and soundtrack and memorable set pieces add up to a riotous and tongue in cheek action film that recalls the cheesy kung fu films of Tarrantino's youth.
However while there is a great deal to be enjoyed in KB vol.1 the film is lacking in two major areas: firstly while the decision to divide the film in half may have made economic sense to the distributors, there's no way of escaping the fact that you're only watching half a movie.
In a post-modern, meta-textual world there's nothing wrong with this as our escapism perhaps needs to be specifically labled as such particularily in a post-911 world where we have to be assured that fictional ultra-violence is noticably seperate from other works of 'realism' that may now seem unpalatable.

 CYGNUS ENSEMBLE: LOVE, DEATH, GUITAR
The premise of Love, Death, Guitar begins with the easy assertion that the guitar, among all musical instruments, is most associated with love and death (by which I intend the more loaded terms, Eros and Thanatos), and continues with the further observation that plucked strings can be found playing this role all over the world.
We will try to show that these senses of love and death are still ubiquitous, and even coming to the fore here in the U.S. in works such as the HBO series, Six Feet Under, and in Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill movies.
The success of the project hinges on the claritiy of the connections made between European, Asian, Middle-eastern, and American (and other) examples, and between older strains and more recent strains as well as contemporary strains of Eros and Thanatos--the kinship of Dowland and Britten, for example.

 Kill Bill- Volume 1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
apparently Quentin Tarrantino is an old-fashioned fan-boy who happens to be a director, because it shows; the opening has the original Shaw-brothers movie intro, followed by a quote credited as "Old Klingon Proverb".
Too many good stars to name, an anime-sequence for one character's back-story, a massive fight scene that reads like an anime scene brought to flesh, enough loose body parts to stitch together a whole new crowd of people, and a plot of revenge told in a typical Tarrantino Pulp Fiction style of out-of-temporal sequence chapters.
Even the fact of this being a part one shows some class; rather then chop of his film to fit into a time slot, Tarrantino broke it up into two films to preserve it's story-telling integrity.
