Kill Bill: Vol. 2
why the FUCK did i ever give this 4 stars… this is 4 and a HALF. it’s not as perfect as volume 1 but it’s still amazing in it’s own right. i’m only knocking a half star off bc of the “bill actually did love her” propaganda near the end. like i get from the bride’s pov why she fell for him but there ain’t no way i am ever going to sympathise with that sick, manipulative, evil MANBITCH. you straight people are on another level. i will never be satisfied with the way he went cause he deserved worse smh.
like i know that THAT was already the worst blow for him emotionally and it works best narratively, but i just wanted to see more </3 not in the violence-craving way. i don’t mind the drop in action at all because not everything has to be a grand sword or fistfight. i hate action movies without substance and i loved all the verbal stabbing in this, it’s amazing. but just for me personally, i wanted to see the dude physically suffer more i HATE him soso much HAHAHA. maybe it’s just the manhater in me… ANYWAY
i also used to think the elle driver fight was too short and ended too cheap but watching everything again with a more seasoned pair of eyes and open, unserious heart, i get it now. everyone’s deaths (even the poisoned fish head) were well in-character, tone and perfectly built up and paid off. i LOVE them with my soul (except bill’s. i’m still sour he didn’t suffer worse) and i love that you really get to sit and just jitter your teeth through this one for a bit before getting thrown back into the combat. both films are soso dear to me idk <3
