Violence and nothing else

If this movie were a painting. It would have but one color - violent red.
Indeed, Tarantino makes himself a Tarantino wannabe. Gone is the meticulously worked out non-linear plot that characterized his earlier works. In its place, we have nothing more than an insulting suggestion that stylishly executed, over the top - stark - violence, will provide entertainment/out of the body experience or something... I heard somewhere that the script of this movie was a hefty 200 pages. And i am wondering, 200 pages of what? Putting in words how a 20 min. sequence of limbs getting chopped off, blood spouting, people screaming, is orchestrated?
Perhaps it will all come together in Vol. 2. But boy, its a heavy price to ask out of the viewing audience, to get them there.
Take the very worst of Crouching Tiger and Natural Born Killers. Keep the action and the blood/gore. Strip everything else - plot/characters etc out. And you have Kill Bill Vol 1. |
