Vol. 1 that is. I have yet to see Vol 2.

But I've finally got around to see the amalgam of low-budget samurai imports, Chinese martial arts films, spaghetti Westerns and exploitation flicks of yesteryear. I found it very stylish, bloody and innovative. It was such
such a simple revenge narrative based on good and evil forces though.

Who cares. It has a great opening scene, it's cartoonish and its very pop artish. I just let it wash over me and savioured the experience of the visual spectacle of the choregraphed violence.

It's a kind of homage to these movies from a cinephile or "film-geek" with lots of ironic, self-reflexive. Tarantino sure has watched a lot of low grade movies.

Is Kill BiIl more than an imitation, revision or reconsideration of Seventies grindhouse and western cinema? Is it more than a sprawling homage or the story of an angry woman's revenge? Maybe there is a hint of redemption in the film? Revenge as the path to redemption? A path involving the massacres of dozens of people and more or less getting away with it.

Maybe we can approach the violence as a kind of visual language? Maybe the way the film approaches the violence says something?
