After leaving the theatre, I immediately (okay, maybe it was a week or two later) went out and bought PULP FICTION (1994) and RESERVOIR DOGS (1992) on DVD so I could check out his other work-the first time I had ever done so as for a given director. However, KILL BILL: VOLUME 1 was the first Tarantino film I ever saw, and I was riveted for its duration. I had heard of Tarantino prior to this, by virtue of being a casual participant in cinematic pop culture. By that time, I was of age to see R-rated films in theatres without any kind of hassle or sneaky spy shit-but my friends were not. And that is how on a cold winter night in Portland, my younger brother and best friend were stuck in another auditorium watching a stale biopic on the religious reformer Martin Luther, while I was alone in another auditorium gleefully taking in the literal bloodbath that was KILL BILL: VOLUME 1. The year was 2003, and I had just entered my senior year of high school. Retreived from .The 4 th film by Quentin Tarantino (as it reads in the film’s advertising copy), KILL BILL: VOLUME 1, was released during an odd time in my cinematic development. The origin of O-Ren Ishii anime sceneīender, L. 1 is action-packed and gory from start to finish, yet exemplifies a variety of film genres, making it all the more unique and fascinating for viewers of all types. The use of cartoons instead of live-action in this scene also allowed the filmmakers to show something brutally violent that they may not have otherwise been able to produce and show to the public. Although it at first doesn’t seem to go along with the style of the rest of the film, given the chapter book set-up and multicultural influences, the inclusion of anime fits well into the story. Going along with Japanese culture in the film, anime is also included to describe the origin of O-Ren Ishii. It also has comedy beyond the exaggerated blood splatters and decapitations with the strategic use of music and adult humor. 1 features a bit of melodrama with The Bride’s emotional cry when she realizes she has awoken from a coma and has lost her baby. In addition to the two major genres of the film, Kill Bill vol. The Bride at her wedding at the beginning of Kill Bill vol.
The blood splattering around the room in this martial arts fight scene even appeared more like water than blood.

The other black and white scene later on in the movie almost negates this older film style but makes the gore in the film appear less gruesome.
The black and white scenes throughout the film, particularly in the very beginning of the film, make it look more like an old western film, perfectly accompanied with the stereotypical noise of spurs on boots as characters walk across the floor and western costuming. The film is set up like a chapter book that is purposely set out of order with several different settings such as El Paso, Texas, Pasadena, California, and cities in Japan and spread out through several years. 1 is not for the faint of heart, but can still be appreciated by a wide variety of audience members who will appreciate different genres within the film.
Although the film has very serious undertones, especially given the motive of the main character, The Bride, to get revenge on the group of assassins who betrayed her, moments of comedy are spread throughout the film solely due to how outlandish and far-fetched the constant gore in the film is. 1, features a multitude of film genres ranging from martial arts/samurai to western with several others in the mix to create a vibrantly bloody yet completely riveting film. Quentin Tarantino’s 2003 crime thriller, Kill Bill vol.
