Kill Bill

Introduction:

Kill Bill is the fourth film by writer-director Quentin Tarantino. Originally conceived as one film, it was released in two separate volumes (in Fall 2003 and Spring 2004) due to its running time of approximately four hours. The movie is an epic-length revenge drama, with homages to earlier film genres, such as Hong Kong martial arts movies, Japanese samurai movies and Italian spaghetti westerns; an extensive use of popular music and pop culture references; and deliberately over-the-top violence.

The Bride, a.k.a Beatrix Kiddo (Thurman) is introduced to the audience in a blood-spattered wedding gown immediately after a violent massacre at an El Paso, Texas wedding chapel. She attempts to tell her would-be killer, Bill (Carradine), that she is pregnant with his baby, but he shoots her in the side of the head. The Bride is left for dead.

Four years later, The Bride arrives at the house of Genie Bell, whose real name is Deadly Viper Vernita Green (Fox), codenamed Copperhead. Vernita, thinking it is a friend, opens the door with a smile, only to have the Bride engage her in a vicious fight, destroying her living room. Vernita’s four-year-old daughter Nikki arrives home from school, abruptly pausing the fight until she is taken to her room. In the kitchen over coffee, Vernita appeals to Beatrix, apologizing for betraying her and asking for mercy on behalf of her family. Beatrix coldheartedly refuses, and the two agree to a knife fight later that evening. Vernita then, however, attempts to shoot Beatrix with a concealed gun; she misses, and the Bride kills her by throwing a knife into her chest. Nikki witness the fight, and Beatrix tells her that she’s sorry for killing her mother in front of her, and that if the young girl wishes to avenge her death when she grows up, the Bride will be waiting. The Bride then leaves in a customized yellow pick-up truck.
