The best description of this film is to simply say it's delicate elegance and beauty juxtaposed against violence and absolute carnage. But the violence is almost always artistic and in homage to a particular style of anime or film. While the grindhouse element is certainly there as well, it's in the background and understated. No grindhouse film was ever this artistic. The film also leans heavily on elements of Japanese samurai cinema. Not my absolute favorite from Tarantino, that would still be The Hateful Eight, and I'd still put Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction above the Kill Bill saga, but still great to see your reaction to it. Hope you visit Hateful Eight one day as well.

For some reason I am now thinking we need to introduce Mary to Battle Royale to really traumatize her... or maybe we should be nice and let her enjoy Kung Fu Hustle.

Great reaction, Mary! After the first fight in the beginning, did you notice the box of cereal where Vernita (codename: Copperhead) hid and fired the gun from was named “Kaboom”? It was giving us a hint to her next move. There are so many Easter eggs in this movie. The club sword fight scene was in black-and-white because the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) wanted the blood toned down. Instead of cutting the scene down, Tarantino chose to show it in black and white. The Japanese release of the film (which I own) showed the scene in full color with a couple of extended scenes that were cut (no pun intended) for violence.

Kill Bill was supposed to be a single movie, but three months before the release the studio decided it was too long, so they cut it in half. But by that time the movie had been shown at a handful of movie festivals and on of them was at the Filmfestival van Gent. The last scene with Sophie and Bill wasn't in the original cut so we didn't know when we went to watch it. It's one of those weird things where I feel like I was part of movie history, even though nobody cares about that, hehe.

I really enjoyed you reaction to Kill Bill 1. My favorite lines are "I just need a hug right now" and the ever popular "Like sh'e going to be scared of some crazy teenager". Fun facts that may be included in other comments. -THe bad that was playing in the Tea House, QT heard them in a record shop in the Tokyo airport and put them in the movie. -THe reason it shot in B/W during the Crazy 88 fight was to get by the ratings board. -The rangers sent to examine the church are IRL father and son. Now just 18 more movies and you'll be done. J/K Cbonius

Don't worry, Mary. VOLUME 2 is far less violent and the more story-driven part of the two films. All your questions will be answered by the end of the second movie. For instance, you'll understand why The Bride's name keeps getting beeped out. And you will see plenty of Bill as well. Also Bill didn't kill Sophie, he's not that kind of person, even as menacing as he may appear. I know this movie may seem ultra-violent, but the stylized presentation that Tarantino utilized in this film made it palatable for me to remain focused on the story and its fantastic characters. Although I can't say the same for most of QT's later films where he got overindulgent and ugly with his violence (most notably in THE HATEFUL EIGHT, which IMHO is his worst film). Also Yuen Woo-Ping, The martial arts choreographer credited at the beginning was also behind those amazing fight sequences in the first three MATRIX films.

You had me worried. I didn't think you'd make it thru the first 10 minutes. Good job. The way I look at these Tarantino movies is to not take them seriously but to just go along for the ride.

While I understand the fear, I also would be surprised if we saw a reaction video that was a walk-out!

This is my favorite Tarantino film (I consider Vol 1 & 2 as one movie) . I know some people dismiss it, saying the writing isn't as clever as his other films, but in fact it isn't intended to be. This movie is a love letter to grindhouse-type films, especially the more extreme Japanese and Chinese martial arts films, and as such a dialog heavy script with all the clever exchanges Tarantino films are usually known for would be out of place here, and in fact would detract from the movie.
