Kill Bill Movie Review

" Revenge is a dish best served cold"

This proverb means that the best revenge to your enemies is the one who come with planing and brings the most horrendous pain to them."Dish best served cold" means that when you going to get with someone, it's better to wait until you are not angry or "hot". This is because whatever you plan to do will be more detail and likely to succeed. 

Let's take a look of the movie that bring the proverbs to life -- Kill Bill.

The movie start with a blood -covered bride who lying down at the floor. She carried  Bill's baby who is the guys to use gun shoot to her head. Luckily, the bride did not died and she suddenly awaken from her coma after four years later. The bride realizes what has been done to her by the member of Deadly Viper. The member of  Deadly Viper are formed by Bill and his circle-Vernita Green, Elle Driver and O-Ren Ishii. She setting out the plan to seek revenge on the assassin group members. After she kills the various members of the group one by one, she saves Bill for last and the story will be continue on Volume 2.

Kill Bill is written and directed by Quentin Tarantino. According to Wikipedia, the director use his favorite movies as the reference to the film. Therefore, I would like to share some of the movie scenes that I had been watched and the director used it in the movie.

Game of Death 

In the final scene of the revenge in Japan, The Bride wore the same clothes with the Bruce Lee in "Game of Death".  Quentin used this scene to salute to the kung fu master Bruce Lee

The Green Hornet

The O-Ren Ishii subordinate wearing the black mask. 

Battle Royale

She won role in the Kill Bill because of the Royale Battle movie.

Besides that, we can see the director add in different elements such as pop music and animate into the movie.

For the music part, the opening credit begins with the background music of “ Bang Bang" is the part I like most.

I listened to this song before and I think the song really suit the opening very well because the meaning of the lyric and the feel of song "Bang Bang" bring out the memory of the bride with Bill and the sadness of the bride in the start of movie.

The other part that I like most is the typical Mexican music style had made the last battle of the bride and O-Ren Ishii become interesting. Because of the flamenco music style and the rhythm of the music, the battle action seem to become a "dance".

For the animation part, the director make the animation based on his script to craft this bloody, hand drawn expansion of mythology, a setup to dimensionalizes Ishii and her violent practices. 

At first, I am not comfortable to watch this kind of movie.This kind of movie make me thinking of "The Hunger Game" and "Battle Royale". However, Kill Bill is different compare with that two movies.

 "The Hunger Game" and "Battle Royale" are adapted from best-selling novel into movies but for the "Kill Bill" we have to understand the meaning and background of the movie scenes so that we would enjoy more with the movie.

 Therefore, I would like to watch again after I understand some of the meaning and background for movie scenes. This movie ain't no only show the fountains of blood, death and maiming but behind every scenes there are a classic movie as a reference.
