I watched Kill Bill in the library at KGU with Haruka. It was released in two separate volumes and we watched first volume in English. First volume was released in 2003 and second volume was released in 2004.
This movie is action. Main character is Beatrix Kiddo. She was an assassin but she dropped from it because she got pregnant. At her wedding, she was beaten up by members of one organization, which she belonged to. They killed her husband and she got into a coma. Four years later, she came out of a coma and she decided to revenge them who beat up her.
First, Beatrix Kiddo went to Vernita Green’s house. Vernita Green was a member of this organization. Vernita Green has her husband and four-year-old daughter, Nikki. Beatrix Kiddo fought with Vernita Green at living room. They used knives and bloodstained each other and living room. Then, Nikki came back from her school and they stopped fighting. After Nikki went to her room, they went to the kitchen. Vernita Green asked Beatrix Kiddo to forgive her but Beatrix Kiddo refused and they decided to fight with knives later that evening, however, Vernita Green attempted to shoot Beatrix Kiddo with a gun but she missed. Then, Beatrix Kiddo killed Vernita Green by throwing a knife into her chest. Vernita Green was died and Beatrix Kiddo noticed that Nikki saw their fight and Beatrix Kiddo killed Vernita Green in front of Nikki. Beatrix Kiddo told Nikki that she was sorry for killing her mother and when Nikki would grow up, if Nikki wants, Beatrix Kiddo would wait Nikki’s revenge.
Next, Beatrix Kiddo went to Okinawa for getting a sword of Hattori Hanzo. She met him at his sushi restaurant but he was retired from making swords, however, she didn’t give up and finally he allowed her to get one of his swords, which were made by him long time ago.
Then, Beatrix Kiddo met O-Ren Ishii who was a member of that organization like Vernita Green. O-Ren lived in Japan and she became a top of one gangster. One night, O-Ren went to a restaurant with her tools and also Beatrix Kiddo went there. Beatrix Kiddo met Sofie Fatale who was one of O-Ren’s tools at rest room. Beatrix Kiddo cut one arm of Sofie Fatale in front of O-Ren and other her tools. Then, their fight started. Beatrix Kiddo cut and killed many people and bloodstained the restaurant. One girl, who was Japanese and a high school student, tried to kill Beatrix Kiddo. Her name was Gogo Yubari. She used chain and Beatrix Kiddo put up a bad fight with her but finally Beatrix Kiddo killed Gogo Yubari. Beatrix Kiddo killed O-Ren’s tools and she fought against O-Ren. They used their swords and their fight was violent. After their fighting a long time, Beatrix Kiddo cut O-Ren Ishii’s head and she was died.
Finally, First volume declared war against Bill by cutting the other arm of Sofie Fatale. Beatrix Kiddo cut the other arm of Sofie Fatale and took her to a hospital. Sofie Fatale without her arms and Bill talked about Beatrix Kiddo. This was last scene of First volume.
In this movie, Uma Thurman played Beatrix Kiddo, Lucy Liu played O-Ren Ishii, Vivica A. Fox played Vernita Green, David Carradine played Bill, Julie Dreyfus played Sofie Fatale, Chiaki Kuriyama played Gogo Yubari, and Sonny Chiba played Hattori Hanzo.
I think this movie isn’t good because it was so grotesque and I felt uncomfortable. Many people were killed and these scenes were vivid. I often wanted to stop watching this movie and I don’t want to watch second volume of this movie.
However, this movie has good thing. This movie has animation a little. Though I didn’t like watching this animation because it was also grotesque, I think it was interesting that animation was used in a movie.
