KILL BILL(****)
Starring Uma Thurman, Lucy Liu, Vivica Fox Directed by Quentin Tarantino By WALLY (obnoxious party boy) Yeahhhh! Swords. Bitches. Blood. Aw man. This is like a female Braveheart without the story or skirts. Well, actually there were skirts. But blood splattering all over yyyyyeah. It’s about an assassin who lives through her own assassination, while pregnant at her wedding no less, and gets revenge on those that tried to kill her. And literally, that’s it. That’s the end of the plot. The rest are fight sequences. Fuckin’ killer ass, huh? This movie’s about setting up bad-ass characters and letting them fight. Yeah. When Vivica Fox(damn, she looked good) asks Uma when she wants to finish their interrupted fight Uma replies "that depends, when do you wanna die?" Yeah. Hardcore. Fucking hardcore. Uma plays a heartless, souless vengeful bitch that’s hell bent on making her would be assassins pay one by one. First, Vivica Fox is good with knives and has a daughter. But Uma don’t care. If the daughter feels raw about revenge then she’ll be waiting when she gets older. Next, Uma gets some Japanese steel from Japanese screen legend Sonny Chiba. Lucy Liu plays the head of the Yakuzna(Jap mafia) who chops off heads when gang lords question her mixed heritage. A brilliant fight takes place
in a restaurant when Uma takes on hordes of lesser talented swordsman
as well at the 17 year old mace wielding body guard of Lucy Liu.
And man, she’s smoking hot. I don’t know if I should
feel guilty about fantasizing about splaking This movie is all’s about style. That’s why I love Tarantino. He just tries shit in this movie and pulls it off. Like zooming into someone’s shocked face and playing some cheesy 70’s shocked music. If someone else does this crap it’s pretentious. But Tarantino does it and it’s brilliance. I especially loved when he goes to Japanese anime to tell the backstory of Lucy Liu’s character. It’s a narrative and stylistic departure but it fits and it works. And it allows him to go overboard with the blood letting. If it’s animation it’s okay. There’s not much story but there’s style for days and some amazing fight sequences. Teenage boys, buy a ticket to Good Boy, the movie about the talking dog from outerspace, and sneak into Kill Bill. You’ll worship this movie. Kick. Ass.
