70mm at The Coolidge - FUCKING RIPPED
It’s been probably 7 or 8 years since I’ve seen the Kill Bill films. It was right around the time where I decided that I liked movies - senior year of high school, beginning of college. That films meant more to me than a thing to do or an easy date idea. it was during this time that I watched all of the Quentin Tarantino films with my dad, who is the best person to watch a movie with. Smart enough to pick on foreshadowing but someone who loved to be surprised. He let me form opinions of my own but guided me towards films of importance at a time where I was suddenly overwhelmed by all the “work” it felt I had to do to understand this new world I found myself immersed in. Reason I bring this up, is this was one of our favorite experience watching movies together. He certainly knew who Tarantino was and loved pulp fiction, but hadn’t seen kill bill. Seeing Uma Thurman slice through the crazy 88s while looking stunning on a beautiful backdrop had us locked in from the living room. It was an incredible blend of samurai , spaghetti western, and Quentin’s style - kind of a culmination of everything we had watched until that point.
Seeing the whole bloody affair at the Coolidge a place where sickos like myself can feel at home hooting for Uma and laughing out loud at Pai Mei was a set up for a perfect evening. I’ve only seen it once before this so many of the details had receded to the back of my mind. There’s no new things to rehash about this masterpiece but it must be reiterated that it is a “strap in your overhead harness” melt your face off masterpiece of pacing,editing, choreography, line reading, any god damn category you can think of. And somehow it becomes the love story all wrapped up in a perfect bow.
