"I am gonna kill Bill!" A Critical Look


In this critical look at Quentin Tarantino's movie, "Kill Bill, Vol. 2," Gary Johnson finds a simplistic theme in the movie best summed up by the title of the movie. In the second installment, The Bride, as her character is known, goes after the other half of assassins who killed her fiancé and left her for dead. Her ultimate goal is revenge against Bill, the man responsible. Johnson says that Tarantino's abilities lie in his contradictions, "to value carnage in one scene and to value the spoken word in the next." Making the movie special, Johnson says, is his unique camera angles, images and overly simplistic plot, though the characters become more developed. For more information the link above is will connect you to Johnson's article on Imagesjournal.com.
