yah, Kill Bill was an excellent flik, but it wasn't so much a movie as it was a tribute to classic action films. there were many allusions to Bruce Lee (For example, Uma Thurman wears a near identical outfit to one Bruce Lee wore in his last movie; and while wearing that suit, Uma takes on 88+ samurai ninjas, including the sensual Lucy Lui. It reminded of that sequence in the Matrix with all the agent smiths, but without all the dumb CG that made them all look like rubber. This stuff was all real, no computers added.)
On a related note, an animated sequence in Kill Bill nearly earned the film an NC-17 rating by the MPAA. It was quite violent, but the reason that it was so risque was because it had to do with pedophilia. But fortunately, instead of using the planned close-up slow shot, it went for the wide fast camera shot, so we are all blessed with this fine piece of cinema.
go see it. one of the reasons Tarantino is such a great action director is that the violence sways on the side of the ridiculous, and pleasant hilarity ensues. i laughed so hard my eyeballs flew out.
i'd better stick those back in their sockets. :wacko:
