"Kill Bill Vol 1" (2003) Directed by Quentin Tarantino

“This woman deserves her revenge. And we, deserve to die”.

Originally planned as a single film but after a final cut was over 4 hours long, together with producers The Weinstein Brothers, it was decided that “The Bride” deserved two outings, and two chances to Kill Bill. With characters developed jointly by “Q & U” (Quentin and Uma for those unfamiliar with Tarantino films) and a mix of live action, Japanese anime’, iconic actors with further parts written specifically for them and a fractured non linear time line, this fourth Tarantino film seemingly has everything and by the time you’ve watched Chapter Five, you’ll see what I mean!

My appraisal of Kill Bill Volume 1 will be to very briefly outline the opening prologue and four of the five distinct Chapters. For any Tarantino purists out there, yes I have deliberately left out certain scenes of the brief outlines for each of the four chapters.

In the remaining Chapter I aim to dissect this, scene by scene with as few spoilers as possible, but with as much texture and Tarantino love as I can muster.

Opening Prologue:

Opening with a distinctive nod to his inspirations of Japanese and Hong Kong Cinema and martial arts films, “Shaw Scope” is quickly replaced by a 1970’s style “Our Feature Presentation” slide, amid crackling and sound distortion.
