Kill Bill - Volume 1 (Critique)
Critique of this Tarantino movie. For me, a love affair that started, as love often does - with loathing. Ahh, what a fool I was.
I hated it the first time. Over the top, silly, too long, too violent, too muddled.
But now? Each scene - no, each frame - gorgeously stylised, terrific badass protagonist, perfectly chosen soundtrack (seriously, spot-on), exquisite casting.
It's "too" on purpose.
Oh, and Carridine's voice is *chef's kiss* for Bill.

Thou Shalt Not Set Fire to a Nunnery
"You're going to have to help me move the body." Julie stood in the doorway to my room, which was a cell really, and she was as close to breathless as I'd ever seen her. She looked dashing in the moonlight, and lit up with the glow of adventure.

Standing While Falling
Quotation from Friedrich Nietzsche "He who wrestles long with monsters should beware lest he himself become a monster. And if you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you. Man is not destroyed by suffering, but by the meaning he makes of it."

Nailed it!!!💕❤️❤️
Great critique
As always, I've not watched this either. Loved your review!
Thanks...and I love "Black Books," too!
I use to be mad about both films!! Although I haven’t watched for years! Use to play the soundtracks in the car!! It’s ultra stylistic like your critique! 😁
I agree with this! It is too everything all of the time and that's wonderful! The first time I watched it, I didn't really understand it, thought it was just silly. But then I realized that was the point and had a lot more fun the second and third time through!
I know exactly how you feel! As you get older your appreciation for certain things change; kind of like olives, blue cheese, and wine! My taste in films has changed dramatically.
LMAO that clip. effing Peter Serafinowicz lol! But, this is a great critique. Forever, my favourite Tarantino film was always Reservoir Dogs. Then Kill Bill replaced it, it's only pipped to the top spot by Inglorious tho. Kill Bill Vol. 2 is great too and actually reallllllly sad at the end. IMHO...very emotional,
