At the very beginning, I watched the Kill Bill series with the idea of ​​watching action and gore movies. I always thought that this was an ordinary classic movie showing violence. After all, this is one of the representative works of violent aesthetics. Famous movie. But when I saw the back, I suddenly felt that things were far from being as simple as it seemed on the surface. When I saw the heroine's revenge to the last goal-Bill, it was a picture of a warm family in front of me.

Kill Bill 2

Only then did I understand that this film is not a simple story about the heroine who has gone through five stages and killed Big Boss Bill with revenge as the main line. It has a deeper meaning.

I want to talk about the director of the film-Quentin before I talk about my understanding of this movie. Quentin’s movies are generally different, because he has a more avant-garde idea, so he shot Movies are mostly anti-plot films, that is, they get rid of the traditional big plot stories, that is, "there is a cause and effect, closed, and endeavored in exchange for a story." It can be seen from the film "Pulp Fiction" that he shot. There is a scene in the novel. Vincent and Jules are on the way back with the informant. Vincent accidentally kills the informant because of a gun fire. Generally, the movie does not deal with this kind of unimportant role after death. It is described so that the audience has never thought about how to clean up the body of this kind of person. It seems that they do not care about it all the time. However, the film does the opposite, telling the story of the informant left after his death. The corpse caused the embarrassment to both Vincent and Jules, so much so that they asked friends and experts for help, and they were exhausted and exhausted before finally disposing of the corpse. This plot shows Quentin’s speciality. He does not follow the usual mainstream thinking to tell a story, but uses an abnormal narrative method and a breakthrough plot reversal to construct a story. People admire.

Speaking of the movie, let us look at this story from another perspective. Since it is not a traditional revenge movie, we can’t think about the various behaviors of the characters according to normal logic. Don’t be surprised why we only want to kill Bill. When the heroine of's really meets Bill, she can sit in a chair and listen to Bill's story slowly. Their relationship is very complicated, not just the enemy.

Quentin is very good at shaping roles, including villains, not just as simple as bad. They have their own personalities, and they are all flesh-and-blood, rich and full characters. According to Bill’s narration, we learned the cause and course of the incident. Only then did we know that the core of the original movie was love. Bill was both the heroine’s mentor and the heroine’s lover. All these grudges actually originated from There is no good communication, but things have come to this point. They have no choice. Wrong is wrong. They can't do it again. Love produces hatred. They can only choose to kill the other party. When the heroine finally kills Bill, they have no choice. So a trace of regret.

When I only watched the first movie, I couldn’t understand a lot of unreasonable things because it was made as a normal action movie, so that I wrote a film review and complained about it. Now that I want to come, I shouldn’t just pay attention to such superficial content. After all, Quentin is a director who doesn’t follow his routines, and movies are full of nonsense. Our viewing angle should also be placed on seeing how Quentin plays with the audience. For example, the more you want to watch the boss duel, he is partial. To get a clean and sharp one-shot seckill.
