Kill Bills
About a week and a half ago, I rented Kill Bill Volume 1. A few days after that, I bought it. For me, it wasn't exactly the kind of move that I see and immediately like. To really appreciate and understand it, you must watch it more than once. At first, the violence, blood, and gore is a bit much, even if it's trying to be humorous. After a little bit, though, after one gets used to the whole insanity of the film, one sort of gets used to it and starts to like it.
In the first film, there really isn't all that much that happens. When the movie ends with it's very surprising twist of an ending, you're like, "that's it?" Even though the movie seems pretty short, much of it is filled with extremely bloody violence, so over the top that it makes you laugh at times. -That's another thing that people have to understand when watching this movie- a lot of it is dark humor. If you don't get that, it's basically seems just sick and grotesque.
So, after watching the first volume, I decided I wanted to see the second one. I saw it just last Friday, and WOW. It was absolutely amazing. It was much less violent than the first one, and was a bit slow at times, but, wooow, this is what going to the movies is all about. I've heard that scenes from the Kill Bill movies are copied directly from other films, which is probably why they work so well, despite them being almost pointless. There are a few new things that you learn in the second volume of Kill Bill including the name of The Bride (Uma Thurman) and why the whole wedding massacre took place.
Everything about the movie was amazing. It had great opening and ending credits, it had hilarious humor, more suspense, and -like the first volume- great music.
See these movies! :)
