Kill Bill: Vol. 1

The most stylish movie I’ve seen so far, absolutely iconic from start to finish. Every scene is well thought out and masterfully executed, making it unforgettable.  It’s the only movie I’ve seen where the entire film is 100% memorable. Everything serves a purpose and has a role in the story, there’s never anything superfluous.  The film is naturally beautiful without trying too hard, just extremely well-executed ideas.  Each character has a fully developed backstory and an original design that sticks in your mind. Every entrance is done differently, every fight is unique. The fight between Beatrix and O-ren is incredible and so magnificent.  The film always manages to stay realistic, through its moments of silence and the reactions and dialogue of ordinary people, so we’re not just watching a simple action or revenge movie. It’s so much more than that.  The film’s music, soundtrack, and sound effects are perfect, perfect, perfect, and way too cool.  The shadow puppet sequences, the flashy color sequences, and even the long animated sequence are very well executed and will leave you glued to your screen. I really like how the film is divided into chapters to tell the story, as well as each character’s code name. Everything seems to have been carefully chosen. In short, it’s perfect, there are no flaws to point out, and the 1 hour and 45 minutes fly by, it’s pure enjoyment. Definitely one of my favorite movies.
