That’s amusing because it’s true!! :-*
Greendestiny,
I’m not one of these people who thinks Kill Bill is the fuckin best film ever!!!1111one, and should win every award. Pulp Fiction alone kicks this film right off the earth. However, Kill Bill is a fuckin brilliant film one of the reasons of which is that it is a celebration of film making. It is a compilation of the things QT loves, and loves making. He uses so many different styles and set-plays and such, it’s just breathtaking to watch. I have found that Kill Bill (as a whole) is either a love it or hate it kind of movie. I don’t think there was some particularly brilliant acting in it, nor some of that excellent dialogue, but the film still manages to be good. The reason is Quentin Tarantino. The film was so beautifully directed, the music playing in accordance with the imagery was excellent, and all those references and cool moments were breathtaking. I admit, after I watched both of these films, I was very disappointed indeed. But I gave them a second chance and good on me for it. After repeat viewing I recognised the genius of it. This film may not be a “Pulp Fiction” or “The Godfather” or even “The Good, The Bad And The Ugly” but it delivers what we expect…entertainment. Afterall, isn’t that our primary reason for watching film?
I’m not one of these people that praise him for his films even if they are a pile dogs bollocks. I praise simply because i see him for the genius he actually is. It’s surprising how many people actually think he doesn’t even come into the top 10 filmmakers of today. This man clearly has a talent, maybe not for originality, but definitely in directing and writing. I can criticise Kill Bill, and I recognise some of it’s flaws, same goes for his other films, but there is no doubt, he makes ‘proper movies’. “You know after you have seen a QT film that it is A MOVIE, you may not like it, but you know that you have just witnessed a MOVIE”. I fail to see how he is stuck in his obsession with violence. I thought Jackie Brown and Volume 2 had very little violence, and when it was used, tarantino didn’t try to glorify it. I also don’t think he simply regurgitates Pulp Fiction. Jackie Brown , although a crime film, was not going in the same direction as Pulp at all. Characterisation was a major issue here. Kill Bill, also a crime film, has only a minor resemblance to Pulp. Action was the major focus in the first volume, substance in the second. With Inglorious Bastards possibly on the way, a film belonging to a whole different genre proves QT wants to explore his horizons if you will. He is testing himself, and seeing where he can go, what he can really do as a film maker. Good on him for that! I hope he continues to release his masterpieces.
