Kill Bill The Whole Bloody Affair
Synopsis: The Bride must kill her ex-boss and lover Bill who betrayed her at her wedding rehearsal, shot her in the head and took away her unborn daughter. But first, she must make the other four members of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad suffer.
My Review:
At least once a year I'll watch this 4 hour epic that's filled with bloody violence to the smooth sounds of spaghetti western scores. I know this film gets hated on because the lead is a woman but this is the rare case where it works just like Ripley in Alien/s & Sarah in Terminator/2,
Uma as The Bride is with them at the top female action characters.
Out of all of Tarantinos films I rank Kill Bill #1 overall in story, action, and score in his filmography. It's my favourite Tarantino film and a top 10 all time film for me.
(Brief summary without sharing/spoiling too much)
The film begins with Bill shooting the bride in the head. After the credits roll we see the bride pull up to Vernita Greens house. This is the appetizer to what is to come.
We then get to watch some of the aftermath of the bride getting shot in the head. She spends 4 years in a hospital in a coma. After she comes out of her coma she starts her journey for revenge.
( This is my favourite part of the story in the entire film )
The Bride travels to Japan where she gets Hattori Hanzo to make her a sword to kill her enemies. Also waiting for her in Japan, O-Ren Ishi, GO-GO, and the Crazy 88.
I'm sure most to all of you are used to watching this scene from Volume 1, it's even more bloody and violent in Whole bloody affair. There were scenes cut out because of how violent they were (limbs chopped off, eyes ripped out) but it's all here and more.
I believe The Bride vs O Ren/GO GO/ The Crazy 88 is one of if not the best action scene in cinema. It's my favourite Tarantino scene/favourite chapter. It's 15-20 mins of non stop violence and action that gets better every time I see it.
Poor Sophie.
Now Bill finds out what The Bride has done and her message for him. She is now off to find Bud, Bills brother.
Fun fact, when Bud spits his tabaco on the brides face, it's actually Tarantino spitting it on Umas face. A flash back takes us deep into the training of the bride and her introduction to Pai Mei, the man who trained Bill, The Bride and Elle.
After a series of events the Bride comes face to face with Elle and then they battle in a Blonde off.
I liked this fight a little more than her fight with Viv Fox in the beginning of the film. They did more in a tight space plus there's more backstory between these 2.
Which then brings us to the final chapter, the showdown with Bill. The movie playing at the house (Shogun Assassin) is a movie I just recently watched for the first time and I really really liked it a lot. I thought it was an original movie until I found out a few days after it's just 2 movies edited into 1 film. Back to the film, the calm before the storm between the bride and Bill is perfectly well done. Its amazing how much power a child holds that she can bring a moment of peace between 2 parents that hate each other.
Tarantino is one of the best at writing dialogues between his characters. The final conversation between Bill and The Bride showcases Tarantino at his best. What I also liked it the small surprise at the end
Personally I think this is one of the best revenge movies of all time. I also think it's one of the best action/martial arts films of all time.
My Rating: 10/10

The Five-Point-Palm Exploding-Heart-Technique was taught to her and not Bill by Pai Mai
