Why : Though these are two movies, I’d like to think of them as one. You must see them back -to-back instead of leaving the second movie for another day. Finest among vendetta movies, Kill Bill placed Uma Thurman in the action heroines list. Kill Bill was all about martial arts, sword fights, and lots of gore.The fight choreography was one for a century. Limbs, heads, tables, curtains and practically anything which came in the way of Uma’s samurai sword was cut in half in one clean swish. And all these looked so graceful, so much like a dance form.
The homage paid to martial arts legend Bruce Lee was in a class of it own. The yellow jump suit that Uma wore in the first movie was a fitting tribute to the master.
Eccentric director, Quentin Tarantino’s extreme quirkiness was suppressed in these two movies and that made it appealing to a wider audience. The inclusion of animation to depict some of the events was a brilliant idea and the graphic execution of the animation was dead right. The punch line “here comes the bride” echoed admiration and fear, giving it a different meaning on the whole. The arrival of this bride was to be feared as one of the characters says, “that woman deserves her revenge and we deserve to die”.
