All of my friends loved “Kill Bill”, some more, some less, but almost everyone agreed, that Tarantino did something totally new in a very suspenseful and entertaining way. However, one of my friend is a lot into german art-cinema, and he didn’t like it at all. Says, he doesn’t want to watch it anymore, because the brutality totally turned him off and kinda shocked him, too. This left me a little clueless, well, because there is so much more to gain of this movie than sheer violence, but, hey, everyone his opinion. I also showed it to my father, and he loved it, but for different reasons than I did. He didn’t get all those cinematic quotes, and he doesn’t know a lot of Tarantino in general, but he appreciated the black humour, which was showing in a lot of scenes. He also dug the ending of Vol.2 where it got all emotional with Bill dying (not a spoiler anymore, right?) and the Bride seeing her daughter again. He still has to see the “Showdown in the HOBL” in full glorious, japanese color, though.
