"Kill Bill" is filled with a lot of violent and bloody killing scenes. One example can probably illustrate this point. The special effects artist of the film once mentioned that in the production process of the film, a total of 450 gallons of fake Blood, that is, if a bottle of water is calculated as 500 ml, it can hold more than 3,000 bottles in total. However, the violence shown in "Kill Bill" can bring us another experience, weaken our rejection of violence, or even make us ignore the resentment caused by violence, and instead immerse ourselves in an extreme in the aesthetic experience.
"Kill Bill" is an action crime film directed by Quentin Tarantino about a bride who is murdered at her own wedding, all those who attend the wedding are murdered, and then the bride miraculously She survived, and thus began her long road to revenge. This film can be said to be one of the representative works of the western interpretation of the aesthetics of violence. The film uses a lot of exaggerated expression techniques to make the violent scenes in the film leave a deep impact on us. At the same time, it makes the originally disturbing bloody Instead, the scene has an artistic beauty, bringing the audience a visual feast of "Red Death". A film reviewer said: "Quentin Tarantino's ingenious film talent in "Kill Bill" blossomed a stunning bloody flower of violent aesthetics, the film's skilled use of multiple technical means and killing action scenes. The fast editing, vertical and horizontal integration, and excellent music collocation have brought the bloody blood in action movies to an extreme height, resulting in a very alternative movie aesthetics, and it is this ups and downs rhythm that Control, only to give a collection of two parts, a four-hour revenge story and a climax from beginning to end." The entire "Kill Bill" contains gangsters, killers, bloody battles, revenge and other common elements in action movies. , the storylines are climaxing, and every plot can affect the nerves of the audience. I have hardly encountered the second part that can make me feel the next second from the beginning to the end. The action, crime, etc., if not "Killing" Dead Bill (2)".
At the level of artistic expression, "Kill Bill" shows us the most vivid aesthetics of violence, which can be regarded as one of the classic masterpieces showing the aesthetics of violence, bringing us a visual feast of red carnival.
However, on another level, in real life, this kind of violence is a trampling on the legal system and on life.
The heroine in the film, the bride, although in the story, she was the one who was humiliated and hurt at the beginning. According to the legal concept, she was the victim of a case of intentional homicide. In real life, At this time, in order to safeguard her rights and protect her own life, she should follow legal procedures and use the power of the state to make the perpetrators be punished. However, in the film, in order to make the film achieve a certain artistic expression effect, the bride chooses It is a typical act of private relief that is not protected by law; the bride successfully implements her own revenge against the criminal who has harmed her, that is, many deliberate actions The crime of homicide, but at this time, he has changed from a victim in an intentional homicide case protected by law to a criminal punished by law, and the bride's crime is extremely bad, infringing on the right to life of many people, and will be victimized These are in line with the aggravated circumstances of the criminal law; the bride was "killed" by the criminal at the wedding, and the "kill" here refers to the criminal's subjective malice, but the bride did unexpectedly survive. At this time, because the criminal did not achieve the purpose of killing him, even if his subjective malice exists, it still cannot constitute the crime of intentional homicide.
During the period when the bride was in a coma in the hospital, the hospital staff committed "rape" to her. my country's criminal law stipulates that the crime of rape is: "rape a woman by violence, coercion or other means". In this film, although the hospital staff did not use violence, coercion, etc., but because the bride was in a coma and could not express her will in line with her own will, it should be regarded as the hospital staff who violated the bride's will and enforced it on her. The act of rape constitutes the crime of rape. In this film, there is a crime almost every minute, from this point of view, "Kill Bill" can be regarded as a successful crime film.
Although some people are still debating whether the violent scenes in "Kill Bill" represent the real aesthetics of violence, which is understandable, because the aesthetic experience, and more importantly, the subjective feeling, because the aesthetic experience is always It cannot be objectified, but we have to admit its extremely high artistic achievements. The film uses a lot of advanced film technology to show the ultimate aesthetic experience under the exaggerated violence. However, we should also know and remember that this It's an R-rated movie, or R-rated movie - teenagers aged 13-17 must be accompanied by parental supervision to watch it, which shows that the violent plot of "Kill Bill" has a certain social impact, and we especially teenagers are in When watching, be sure to watch wisely.
At the same time, although this movie is full of violent scenes that are unimaginable in real life, it seems that it is too far away from our real world, but the relationship between the violent plot in the film and the crime plot in the real world cannot be ignored. In a sense, the contradictions reflected in the movies are all manifestations of the intensification of contradictions in real life, just like art is higher than life, but art comes from life after all. We should learn from this violent aesthetic feast in "Kill Bill" that in today's rule of law society, the legal system cannot be violated and trampled on, and each of our lives is protected by the law. At the same time, this film also revealed the importance of perfecting our legal system. Only a country with perfect laws can ensure that everyone's interests are protected and rights are realized.
