Kill bill cast code names6/24/2023 ![]() ![]() Kill Bill is a basic revenge tale that Tarantino has dressed up by using gravity-defying martial arts and comically copious amounts of blood. It's outrageous to expect people to buy two tickets, make two trips to theaters, and wait four months in between in order to see an entire movie. What Miramax has done (in collusion with Tarantino, who seemingly supports their position) is a travesty. ![]() As a whole, Kill Bill might be an entertaining product, but, after seeing Volume 1, I was insulted. I felt like a con had been perpetrated upon me. The result is messy and frustrating - a movie that feels incomplete in every aspect. Not so with Kill Bill, which was constructed as a single motion picture before being sundered at the eleventh hour. The average viewer left The Matrix Reloaded, The Fellowship of the Ring, and Jean de Florette satisfied (to varying degrees) and anticipating the next film. Each has a clearly defined, complete arc within the context of a larger, sprawling narrative. All of those movies required more than one part to tell the entire story, but they were developed in such a way that each movie represents a chapter, sculpted within its constraints to follow a basic three-act structure. There's a key difference between Kill Bill and the likes of The Matrix, The Lord of the Rings, and Jean de Florette/Manon des Sources. A film whose editing and inelegant structure have been severely compromised by the avarice of the Miramax head honchos, who believe they can wring more money from viewers by splitting Kill Bill into two pieces and double-charging everyone. So what do they get for their patience? An incomplete movie, artlessly cleft in the middle. Quentin Tarantino fans have been waiting six long years for the release of the director's follow-up to Jackie Brown. ![]()
