you haven't seen Lost in Translation then? I rarely see american movies, most movies I see tend to see are foreign movies, so much better than american movies lately. However there are the occasional movies worth seeing like Lost In Translation. Its a shame that you generalise new movies as being crap, you miss out on the occasional good one. |

"he called Akira Kurosawa "high brow crap" Now that's funny you see because ironically, this same "high brow crap" director Kurosawa(best of all time imo) is the director his style in Kill Bill is indirectly derived from. Kill Bill shamelessly nicked the style found in Sergio leone's movies and those in Bruce Lee's movies, but Leone admitted himself that he wanted to make a western version of Kurosawa's Yojimbo, copying the same style. The thing is, Kill Bill lacks the useless but witty dialogues found in his previous efforts. For the concept of this type of movie to succeed you need a convincing and believable lead actor/actress but Uma Thurman is about as interesting as a doorknob, a bland figure with no charisma and more importantly inept at swordfighting/martial arts and therefore unconvincing. I never felt anything for the character. At times it felt like I was looking at the bloody version of Charlie's Angels, and that is not a compliment. The gore was pretty lame too, very unconvincing and not shocking, it feels like he had to make concessions towards the big studio honcho's and that didn't do the movie any good at all. The movie being cut into 2 parts isn't doing it any good either, but perhaps they realized that the whole thing wasn't strong enough to keep the crowd interested for over 3 hours, in which case they'd probably be right. The fighting scenes are just as boring as the ones in matrix reloaded, perhaps worse as Carrie-Ann and even Keanu are far more convincing fighters than anyone I've seen in Kill Bill so far, and I don't expect Michael Madsen to go all Kung Fu all of a sudden, and David Carradine won't pull of too much as he's over 65 already. |

its so cool to hate movies that people love, isn't it? for one thing, the style found in kill bill owes more to grindhouse martial arts movies of the seventies than anything kurosawa created. and on that level, it succeeds. its a stupidly brilliant movie, and its simplicity and lack of plot are what makes it so good. its pure entertainment, and thats all tarantino was trying to do, and he achieved that tremendously. |
