Today, fifteen years ago, the first film of "Kill Bill" premiered.
The title didn't say everything, what I want to say is, this is the best romance movie in revenge, and the best B-rated movie in romance movies. If you have objections, add "one".
Most of the Asian scenes of the film were completed in the Beijing Film Studio Studio, including a large number of Japanese interior scenes. So don’t be surprised to see Han Sanping’s name in the subtitles.
"Kill Bill" is just a story of a revenge bride from beginning to end. Simple plot, extreme violence, full screen of plasma... At first glance, this film is no different from other B-level films. However, the "Kill Bill" series has gained a large number of fans and has become one of the most glamorous films since the new millennium.
Before "Kill Bill", Quentin had used "Falling Water Dog" and "Pulp Fiction" to demonstrate his narrative ability to disrupt the timeline, and established himself with "True Romance" and "Killing a Dawn". Explosive violent aesthetics. The birth of "Kill Bill" announced that Quentin merged the two styles. And its origin is just a conversation between Quentin and his muse Uma Thurman during the filming of "Pulp Fiction." Quentin said that he wanted to make a Kung Fu film in the 70s style. Uma came up with the famous title, the bride in a pool of blood.
Quentin then gave the script as a birthday gift to the 30-year-old Uma.
Some people say that watching Quentin's movies doesn't require brainstorming, just relax and chop melons and vegetables with the protagonist.
But Quentin is not obsessed with plasma. He can be presumptuous and constrained, he can shoot all the limbs, and he knows how to make a heavy blow turn into a hint of white blood red.
In particular, the final battle was not full of colors, and the last white snow was really clean.

Anyone picked up is a classic picture.
Quentin has a glimpse of the dark side of human nature that desires violence, but on the one hand, he arbitrarily expresses violence, on the other hand, he balances extreme cruelty with animation and a strange sense of humor.
For example, Ishii Kazuren's dark childhood is told in the form of animation.
For example, at the scene of the tragedy, the bride who seemed to have been dead for a long time suddenly spit on the police officer's face.
For example, the truck whose color and name can't be complained
There is also the F word exposed at the sole of the shoe when the killing is about to begin
This deliberately exaggerated and indifferent attitude towards blood and gore seems to remind the audience: this is just a game, so if you like it, you don’t have to feel guilty and enjoy it.
By the way, I borrowed the hand of the hostess to educate the minors not to be involved in the underworld, otherwise the young lady would be beaten by the katana, and she had just chopped up a whole gang.
There is also a balance. It seems that there are some routines today, which is to make the characters both good and evil.
Quentin has never portrayed a completely positive character, and even most of his stories feature villains as the protagonist. This seems to be a law of character creation. Positive characters are difficult to show off, and purely evil characters are easily disgusting. Therefore, villains in movies are often endowed with beautiful qualities such as a tragic family background, high IQ, artistic taste, and so on.
All of this was concentrated in Ishii Kazuren's elegant curtsy when facing the battle of life and death.
But Quentin was still that naughty boy, and after a rare and serious moment, he arranged for Ishii an incredible way to die.
After talking about the plot, let's talk about the soundtrack. Quentin said that all the music in this film is from other movies, from the original soundtracks he collected. What impressed me the most was the opening song Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down). The lyrics fit the story very well. There is also the tune of the duel in the Snow Garden. It is unexpected that the flamenco dance music with the katana duel has no sense of contradiction.
Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood
Quentin deliberately erased the protagonist's identity in the first part. The only time the heroine's name appeared was silenced, and the hero only showed his hand with the samurai sword.
After a fierce fight, the heroine crossed another name off the list. At this time, the desolate flute sounded, as if returning to the bonfire back then. She was a girl who listened to stories, and he was a boy who played the flute for a while and told the story.
The Lonely Shepherd
At that time they didn't need a name, they didn't need an identity.
The second sound of the flute was outside the church door of the wedding. The sound of the flute stopped and the massacre began.
