The Quentin element is obvious and abounds in his work.
Violence, gore, blonde women, men in suits, foot fetish, gangsters, westerns, violence against violence, oriental culture, in-person cameos. The script to tease the audience, the cleverly designed sets, the forceful performance of the actors, and the emotional background music. There are also funny wearing scenes.
It may seem that being Quentin Tarantino is not difficult, but there is only one Quentin Tarantino in the world who plays such violent aesthetics as romantic and dangerous.
Of course, it is impossible for an artist to be completely separated from his work. It is his right to be free to vent his personal inclinations in his works. It is not the works that suffer, but the audiences with different positions. I'd still like to give my personal opinion on the plot. The theme of revenge runs throughout. Why, because the future is ruined. What to do, kill the culprit.
If Kiddo finally sees his daughter safe and sound, put down the Hanzo sword and compromise with Bill or reunite with Bill, then this script will become a third-rate commonplace, and the mediocre ending will not be worthy of Kiddo's wonderful beheading along the way. and growth.
It is true that Kiddo admits that he cannot forget his past career as a killer, Japanese kendo, Chinese martial arts, the use of various cold weapons and firearms have long been engraved into the nerve bundle of conditioned reflex, but it is like following him for the child who has just been discovered in his womb. The enemy killer is generally compromising, she bravely abandons the past, and wants to create a new, normal, and wide enough world for her children. "You're the smartest blond girl I've ever met." Feelings are no match for hatred. If Chinese audiences come to watch, the most light-hearted and funny part of the whole film is probably the flashback section of learning martial arts from the old man with white eyebrows. Cantonese and English are intertwined, the culture is different, but the Tao is the same. (It's very similar to Po and Master in Kung Fu Panda. Is it true that the ancient Chinese master-apprentice relationship is like this in the eyes of Wei Guoren?) Because I am very obsessed with Japanese cultural style, I prefer the setting and setting of the first part. Fighting (girl flying chain meteor hammer, kimono woman Japanese sword is simply not too beautiful). And because of Quentin's fascination with Hong Kong movies and Bruce Lee (controversial), the protagonist's costume is... Another point, the bridge section of being nailed into a coffin and buried in a cemetery. I don't know if Buried Alive is a reference to this movie. In short, KB2 can think of and use it, and it has no logical loopholes and new ideas to connect with the plot of the characters before and after. It's really amazing. The script foreshadowing is also very interesting. If Elle hadn't told the truth about her poisoning Master, she wouldn't have been blinded by the enraged Kiddo in another eye that Master hadn't poked. If Bill hadn't sent Kiddo up the mountain to learn martial arts, Bai Mei's unique five-step piercing palm wouldn't have been learned by kiddo and used to kill him. It took so much effort to fight Elle, a competitor in the original organization, that he almost demolished the entire board room of the bodyguard Budd, but in the end, it took only one trick to get rid of the big boss behind the scenes.
Life is impermanent and unpredictable. Maybe every step is destined, but deciding which direction to take is your own choice.
