Good or bad, different people have different opinions.

The term "cult" to describe this film couldn't be more appropriate. The feeling after watching it was very peculiar. I couldn't say whether it was regret or surprise. The two volumes were read twice. First I read Bill 1. It was at night. I didn’t dare to sleep and was afraid of nightmares. It was a kind of horror that could not be said. A nightmare, if it is a day with the sun shining, it will feel ridiculous, but in the dark night, it still feels that ghosts and shadows around the body are inevitable.
Then I learned to be obedient. I first went to the Internet to check the introduction of the film before I decided to watch the second. Because I was mentally prepared, even if I saw the most disgusting eyeball, I tried to resist watching it. After all, I still exercised my guts, so when I watched II, I felt funny even more often.
This is not a film that emphasizes logic. It needs scenes, shooting and narrative skills. It is a bit like Milan Kundera’s novel. The plot is to serve the reasoning, so there will be a Beatrix ribbon with Hattori sword on the plane. , And will not explain where Beatrice got the money to travel around the world to hunt down enemies. As for how a vegetative gave birth to a daughter, there is no need to confess. In Quentin’s eyes, these things are not important, but the important thing is Bei The determination to kill, the scenes of killing and being killed by Triss, are in an anime style, and the shadow of kung fu, like a urchin, is happily playing.
So, I was confused at first, even if the mystery was revealed, the puzzle that could not be solved: Why did Beatrice hate Bill so deeply? Bill killed people. In particular, Beatrice believes that Bill strangled her daughter. It was not the lives of innocent people such as the groom or the priest. What she hated was only the cruelty Bill treated herself, which was beyond her expectation), but later, she saw her daughter, and she broke it for revenge. Life also exceeded Bill. At this time, she was still able to kill Bill. The reason was very far-fetched. The daughter had a mother but lost her loving father. She would not care whether she would hurt her daughter, even if it was expressed by crying bitterly. The grief in her heart is still far-fetched. Bill's method of death was very bizarre, "trailing a rogue", looking for it from all corners of the world, losing countless lives in the middle, and flying with amputated limbs, blood flowed all over the ground. It is said that she and Bill should have gone through a fierce battle, and they would not be able to kill until they were almost defeated. The other party died, but Bill died so easily-because of the Chinese acupuncture technique and such a powerful skill, it seems that Beatrice was specially reserved to deal with Bill. She had been vicious in the kitchen with Vivica before. In the battle, she didn't see her ability.
Quentin is undoubtedly admiring Chinese Kung Fu, but with white eyebrows... Liu Jiahui's appearance is not as cool as the Green Hornet in the 88th group. The white eyebrows are too funny, speak Cantonese, blow his beard and stare, and die. Inexplicably, the reason for accepting disciples because of loneliness is not sufficient. The whole person is relatively cartoon. Of course, it is extremely necessary to insert the white-browed cultists, otherwise Beatrice will not be able to crawl out of the grave, nor will she be able to. Kill Bill by piercing the palm of his heart. But even if Baimei died at the hands of Ellie, Beatrice's cruel behavior still seemed excessive-to be precise, abnormal.
In fact, I think the most brilliant discount is when Beatrice saw her daughter for the first time. Very dramatic, echoing what Bill said at the end of the scroll. But in addition, the daughter’s appearance also dilutes Bill’s cruelty, making Bill appear tender, a kind father image, this image is very different from the Bill in the first volume. The reason for killing Beatrice for love can also be established. But since it gives people this feeling—it can only be perceptually felt, not rationally analyzed—then Beatrice is actually much more cruel than Bill, and the whole film lacks a foothold.
Those carefully crafted pictures, some, cannot be said to be unbeautiful or shocking, such as the Aoba House, the conversion from indoor color to outdoor black and white, the sound of dripping water from Japanese bamboo tubes, such as the magnificent scenery of the desert, such as the exterior scenery of a small church , Serenity and serenity, but this kind of beauty, when you feel it, is not pure beauty, but also evil and terror. The only thing that makes people feel pure and beautiful is the daughter of Beatrice and Bill.
This is a purely-watching film, yes, it is impossible/no need to analyze it. You can only watch it, let your eyes move without moving your brain. It is purely sensory stimulation, which tests your stomach and endurance. I can see the bottom, I admire myself, but I don't want to admire myself the second time-I press the DEL key to delete the film from the hard drive.

Kill Bill: Vol. 1 quotes

  • The Bride: [after quickly dispatching six Crazy 88's] So, O-Ren? Any more subordinates for me to kill?

  • The Bride: Then give me one of these.

    Hattori Hanzo: They're not for sale.

    The Bride: I didn't say "sell me", I said "give me".

    Hattori Hanzo: [laughs] Why should I help you?

    The Bride: Because my vermin is a former student of yours. And considering the student, I'd say you have a rather *large* obligation.

    [long pause, then Hanzo walks to the window and writes Bill's name]

    Hattori Hanzo: [in Japanese] You can sleep here. It will take me a month to make the sword. I suggest you spend it practicing.
