Kill Bill squared, by Quentin Tarantino

Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill(s) are two of the most cold-hearted, cunning and humourous dry movies from the beginning of the new millenium. Brodcasted in 2003, the former, and 2004, the latter, these two films have intelligent plot, but are full of gore, twists and nastyness, at least for those with weak stomachs, some would say.

I come right now to squash those opinions (laughs), as no matter what argument they may bring, Q.T.'s masterpieces represent two of the most legendary movies ever made, as his sarcastic black humour compensates the tragic events that take place during the action. Surely known as sharp and genuinely carefree, this man is never narrow-minded, boring, and never lacks ingeniosity.

So as The Bride is cruelly beaten and left almost dead in the church of El Paso, Texas, the assasins squad is utterly satisfied with avenging their leader, Bill, whose honour and good-sense have been shattered in the process of loving The Bride. Being put in a coma for four years, she awakens in a hospital bed, child-empty and frightened. As soon as she wakes, she starts planning a revenge against her former colleagues, taking them out one by one.

The entire directive "machination" is so well-elaborated, that Tarantino is practically flaunting his exhibits. And rightfully so! If the first idea has been that the director and script writer is absolutely full of sass, now I may add that the script has the perfect combination of bitter, sarcastic, yet madly hilarious replies. Just a short example: "The Bride: You and I have unfinished business./ Bill: Baby, you ain't kidding." Imagine the white tall goddess Uma Thurman

in a bumblebee leather costume with a glimpse of ice-cold irony in her eyes and a villain-like half-smile. Well, that's what I'm talking about! And is truly all about Tarantino's style that makes it so wonderful.

Another pro is about the music selection. Gheorghe Zamfir's "Lonely Shepherd", "Bang Bang" performed by Nancy Sinatra and other artists like Ennio Morricone, Luis Bacalov and "The 5, 6, 7, 8's" are only a few of the performers whose songs are composing the soundtrack of the movies.

Nevermind the critical commentaries, even they have admitted that Quentin Tarantino has a unique manner of constructing plots and seasoning them with slick remarks. It is just that his style is unarguably brilliant!
