Kill Bill Grandeur

This is a very happy period for me. I am getting to experience one cinematic art after another. Yes 'experience' it is rather than just watching. Quentin Tarantino has displayed sheer class in the Kill Bill volumes. Cinematic art at its best. The two movies are so delicately intertwined that its injustice to view/review them individually. A layman will view the movies as ones with gross violence and dirty tricks. But if you keenly pay attention to the level of meticulous detail in all dialogues and scenes, you will know that these are works of a master filmmaker. QT rocks.

Uma Thurman was created only to act in this movie. I don't see any other Hollywood actress in her place. Beauty, anger, wrath, frustration all adorn her face and personality equally effectively. Insequential editing, a QT trademark spices up the proceedings. The editing chronology is disturbed not only in each volume but the whole two volume set as well. Not once do you forget what happened in Vol. 1 when you're watching the sequel. Use of foot-tapping background soundtracks during serious fights scenes can only come through the mind of QT. The movies look authentic. They are a blast.
