Kill Bill: Vol. 1

As weird as this film is, especially the sound effects, and to a certain degree, even the music, it really is that good. To see the action, or to be more truthful, the pure violence that Kill Bill consists of, it’s easy to understand how Jan criticized the “gruesome and graphic” nature of it, but it really is that much fun, Jan. And honestly, the violence is so well done it can somehow leave you teary-eyed. It’s crazy that upon its release in Japan, the film was rated R15+, even though the Japanese version included much more gore. It goes to show the level of influence Japanese film culture had on Tarantino, even including some anime in the film. Oh, and the film is so beautiful from beginning to end, very stylised, especially the ending scene. You can’t not respect Tarantino’s determination to include feet in the most creative ways, either. Violence, violence, and more violence — could almost cry from it.
