Quentin Tarantino and Roger Avary at some point in their early film-maker lives came up with a bunch of tiny little stories that they wanted to develop into movies. And one day a stroke of genius struck these two. Those little stories could be told together as one film, with interconnected characters. Quentin took off with the concept and wrote the final script. And then took off with said final script and made the movie itself. A movie that a lot of people consider to be one of the greatest masterpieces ever made. Yet, with that, re-watching it for this review, it struck me how amateurish the movie feels, despite its greatness. ↩ Reply

@blenderdumbass > Almost every single transition is a fade to black and then fade out of black.

Yikes, even in early silent films there were more variations.

@blenderdumbass When it comes to transitions, one of the first things that come to my mind is the opening in Citizen Kane. By that, I mean just before the Rosebud incident.

Kill Bill is quite a chill

Kill Bill is a reference loaded film. The director lives in cinema, after all. At one point, the Bill of Kill Bill (David Carradine) reviews Superman, during a monologue with the presence of the protagonist Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman). The said review made sense inside of the given scene, it made sense within the given plot. What if anything it was a flex. Q. Tarantino spoke through Bill about Superman and millions of people heard him. It could be argued, his most popular review... was part of a martial arts movie.

Death Wish 2018 has a low rating due to politics

17% Rotten Tomatoes score. The movie got to be shit, right? Well when it comes to the Eli Roth's 2018 Death Wish ( the remake of the 1974 film with the same name ) you are not quite correct. In my estimate the film should be no less than 60%, based on its execution. Eli Roth is a good enough director to pull something like this off. And you can see that he is trying. The actors are also good. And the music by Ludwig Göransson is really fucking good. I mean this is the same guy who did the music for Tenet and Oppenheimer. He is really fucking good. Watching the movie, I saw that the movie is arguably a lot more watchable and a lot more satisfying than the 1974 original. What is different, is that the 1974 original was made in 1974. And since then the politics have changed.

So what is the meaning of Kill Bill?

In December of 2025, my neighbor, Quentin Tarantino finally released Kill Bill: The Whole Bloody Affair. The film that was originally meant to be, but that was unfortunately cut into two volumes upon its original release, 2 decades ago. Therefore for this review I will be treating Volume 1 and Volume 2 as one film, even though it has a rather substantial intermission in its not-directors-cut version. Re-experiencing the story of the Bride and her revenge, for this review, filled me with some rather profound questions. Questions that I believe I started asking in my review of Once Upon a Time... In Hollywood. Questions as to: what is the meaning of Kill Bill?
