Kill Bill: Vol. 2 https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/c/c4/Kill_Bill_Volume_2.png Dir: Quentin Tarantino Genre: Action Year: 2004 Tarantino's first foray into "elevating" genre films in the past two decades was nothing short of life-changing for me. I'll probably get more into this in ~~Vol. 1~~'s write-up, but the Kill Bill series entered my life at exactly the right time. Volume 1 was one of the very few movies I have ever willingly seen multiple times in the theater, so I could not have been more hyped for its sequel. Kill Bill Volume 2 is definitely a sharp turn from its predecessor. It's much slower, a bit more inspired by spaghetti westerns, and it a little less ostentatious in its presentation. You could call it more contemplative. And I was a year older at that point, a year wiser, so I almost felt like I grew into this kind of movie. Naturally, I adored it. The scenes that still stick with me, beat for beat (even note for note as I recall the music) are definitely the buried alive sequence and the ending. The former is a brilliantly designed bookend to The Bride's martial arts training backstory and her ~~escape~~ serves as the natural climax for the series. The latter is just uber satisfying--a perfect ending set up flawlessly from the beginning and pulled off with aplomb from Uma and David Carradine. --- "A more mature answer than I expected."~ Jakyl25 "Sephy's point is right."~ Inviso <cite>Nelson_Mandela posted [p:923775528] in The SephG ...
