Kill Bill 2 Movie Review

"The bride is back for the final cut."

The opening scene same with the vol 1, which is the bride shooting by the gun. However, Kill Bill 2 had mentioned about the relationship between the bride and Bill.

The using movement of the camera lens can bring different view and feeling to the audience.

Here is the analysis of using of camera lens movement for the opening scene:

For the opening, the director use whole black scene and subtitle to create the suspense. The director also use some disturbing and anxiety background music to evoke the curiosity of audience.

For the following scene, the director using close-up, black and white scene and tilt composition to show the bloody face of the bride. The director using black and white for this scene because he would like to stress that the terror of the bride and show the life as pale person. 

Lens movement

Opening and the end of the movement of the camera lens and the ending of the camera lens are mutually contrast. 

Start of the camera lens movement.

The camara lens pull back and then rise. When the lens is pull outside from the church, there are four killer shown at the scene. The movement of the camera lens rise and pullback to whole scene because the director want to avoid the bloody slaughter process which can cause audience feeling uncomfortable.

End of the camera lens movement


.
Bill is located on the left of the scene and the bride is located on the right of the scene.
These two scenes also formed a contrast

First, the director using close-up for the bride and she looked at Bill.

The next scene is the perspective of the bride look at Bill by using close-up.
