Me and Kill Bill



Kill Bill, an action movie directed by Quentin Tarantino. This movie has two parts vol 1 and 2..

I just finished watching the first part. Yet to watch the second part L... First almost two months back I tried to watch the movie. That time I didn’t have the guts to proceed after 5 min... Action movies are too sickening to watch with a head phone. My speaker had a problem then.

Now after repairing my speakers I had the guts to watch the movie second time. I have always wondered why my best buddy was so fascinated and thrilled while he was talking about kill bill or abt the director. Now after watching the movie I too got thrilled to talk about the movie. Generally I am not comfortable watching action movies. Today I seriously thought I should take the risk. Yes I did it...

Before proceeding further I should clearly tell you guys that I am not gonna type the review of the movie. I don’t deserve to do it. First time I gonna share my experiences while watching a movie in this blog.

My experiences while watching kill bill...

As I said before I don’t have interest in watching action movies. I grew watching tamil movies. When it came to foreign movies I grew watching festivals. So action movies are almost nil in festivals. Even if I find a action movie in festival I pester Navin, my well wisher and my movie companion to shift to another screen to check out the movie screened there. He often used to get irritated still he had to go for me because he knows well that I wont let him watch it peacefully

What a movie!!! Action!!!! Cuts!!! Camera!!! Screenplay!!!! Mind blowing!!!!


The protagonist of the movie Uma Thurman is cool. Even I felt like fighting with someone once I finished watching the movie. Terrorists must probably like the thrill of killing someone. The sword does give you power.

All our kollywood heros always like to be a kunda, fight, fly do everything. They enjoy doing it in movies because it is not be possible for them in real life. Who knows if I was one of them I might also prefer doing action movies.

Coming back to Kill Bill... the movie not only had action it had all emotions. Most violent scenes were shown in black and white and in 2d animation. Straight away showing blood makes you sick after a certain point. The director has easily balanced it. Since you don’t see the red color u r comfortable to watching it.

The director had violence in his movie but u don’t feel it... Rather u like in watching it. That is where the ability of a director stands communicating to the audience what is there in his mind without affecting the principles of the audience watching it.

I was inspired watching the movie... It was technically a excellent movie. As an editor I was completely awestruck at the work. It is the editor who has made the movie successful. I have always felt that a good editor is person who always cheats the audience. He should make the audience realize that he had made a cut. Editor has done his beat… All these fast cuts and ramps doesn’t certify an editor as the best one.. wish tamil industry understands that soon.

Ultimately I was happy watching the movie. I want to buy a beautiful looking Knife.. Guys do let me know where I can get a cool artistic knife… Obviously as a show piece to decorate my home and also to add homage for the love I have for the movie. Waiting to watch the second part...
