Kill War is a 2003 and 2004 film directed by Quentin Tarantino that is told in two films with a running time of four hours. Both films represent a different genre that Tarantino was fond of in his youth (“Bill’s Killing Party Volume 1”). Narrated in his non-linear art, Oce Bill Volume 1 is a combination of kung fu and anime, while Oce Bill Volume 2 is an homage to the Spaghetti Western director. Roger Ebert writes quite positively about the film, noting that as a whole, Ce Bill is “the greater of its two parts” (Ebert). Nowhere is this more apparent than in the themes of revenge and identity. In the film, Kill War illustrates the importance of identity, especially family and relationships, in relation to revenge and that if one’s identity is suspected or challenged, steps must be taken to correct it – often in the form of revenge.
The forms of revenge in each volume are known for each type. Because martial arts, and knives. In addition, most of the action takes place in Japan. War Volume 2 is a spaghetti western that consists of guns and the inclusion of more gruesome hand-to-hand combat. The action in this part occurs in the American South and Mexico. Tarantino takes great care to include music that also reflects genres, with volume 1 including the theme to the television show “The Green Hornet” and volume 2 featuring some of the scores of director Ennio Morricone’s Spaghetti Western films.
The film tells the story of The Bride (Uma Thurman), whose real name is not revealed until the second half. to move On the day of the wedding, a group called the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad, of which he was once a member, burst into the church and shoot all the attendants with guns. Eventually, after killing everyone else, they turn on her until, after beating their leader, Bill (David Carradine) is shot in the head just as she reveals that she is pregnant. Four years later, she wakes up from her coma, finds that she is no longer pregnant and takes the dead child. Thus begins her story, not just of revenge against those who attacked her, but of finding and embracing her true identity.
The bride, on her journey to revenge more than any other character, has to deal with the complexity of what she is. Her real name is Beatrix Kiddo, but when she joined the deadly Viper Squad as a deadly woman in the knife world, Bill gave her the code name Black Mamba. When she finds herself pregnant, she decides to leave her life as an assassin, allowing Bill to think she is dead in order to give herself and her son a normal life and a fresh start unsullied by crime. When Bill finds her, Arlene takes the name Machiavelli, invoking the name of the philosopher who wrote about the death of a friend as a fool. After he wakes up from his coma, he discovers how long he’s been in the hospital and that she’s already pregnant, becomes his bride, hell kills them.
He beat and threw, especially Bibl. Arriving at last in Bill, his son B.B. (Pearl Haney-Jardine) discovers that they are alive after all. As the film’s vocabulary and as the series of credits shows all of her different names, her latest and perhaps most important name is revealed: mom.
Many of his pseudonymous Brides acknowledge her refusal to recognize her true identity: which, as Bill says, is a “natural born killer” (Kill Bill Volume 2). Bill compares her with Superman, who is the most popular superhero because, unlike superheroes, Superman is his true identity, while Clark Kent is disguised. As an assassin leaving her life and settling down with her marriage and family, she was a bride
The story of the bride in this case stands a great complement to that of Vernita Green (Vivica A. Fox), one of the Deadly Vipers, one of the people she kills in the film. Vernita also has many aliases. While in Deadly Vipers, she is known as Copperhead. At the same time he beat and drove out his bride and others, leaving her dead, and she too was to be married. He took it in the name of the Lord
Jeannie Bell was married to Lawrence Bell and had a daughter Nikki (Ambrosia Kelly) who is the same age as B.B (although the Bride does not yet know that she is alive). When he finds her a bride, Vernita lives the life she believes her bride used to have—a quiet suburban existence. However, as with The Bride, Vernita finds it difficult to part with her previous life as a hired assassin.
As soon as he attacks his bride, Vernita’s instincts kick in. They start a fight and destroy the once immaculate suburban home, which is perhaps symbolic of the Bride’s anger at being denied the same, which is due in large part to Vernita’s actions. That anger is compounded when they run into Nikki. When Nikki walks in, the two women call for a momentary introduction to coffee and chat
having the battle at the right time and with courage. A significant sign that Vernita has not been able to fully put her past behind her is when she surprisingly pulls out a gun that she has hidden in a sacrificial box aptly named Kaboom. Although she puts on a pleasant front, Vernita, like her bride, is a natural-born murderer who cannot put a part of her life behind her. The only reason he could have had this life at all was because, unlike his bride, his offspring had not been born by Bill, and so he had no fabricated cause for his death. She could legitimately leave and cut off all ties with whoever she was, but still put a gun in cereal. , he confessed that, although he was physically leaving his life, he remained there physically and emotionally.
In one of the film’s disturbing sequences, the Bride, whom Vernita has always known is the toughest woman in the world, kills her with a knife.
a knife and digging in his heart. The bride looks up to see that Nikki witnessed this exchange. Although Sponsa has settled her score with Vernita, she has just instigated a new one with her mother Nikki. The bride is anything but beautiful, however, and she acknowledges and acknowledges that one day Nikki will come asking her to settle down and she’ll be ready. Because Nikki is still a child, she cannot fight in either of the two volumes of the film, but this scene sets the stage for a possible future fight between the two, with Nikki taking the place of the bride as the injured party who comes out. revenge However, in Nikki’s case, the reason for revenge is perhaps more just than the bride that she will see in War Bill Volume 2. Although Vernita beat her and left her for dead, it was not her child that she killed, as she had planned. In Bride kills Nikki’s mother.
Another victim that Spouse claims in his quest for revenge is O-Ren Ishii (Lucy Liu). O-Ren is still a member of the former Viper Death Squad under the code name Cottonmouth. Unlike The Bride and Vernita, O-Ren not only refused to leave the life of crime, she embraced it and, thanks to Bill, became the leader of the Tokyo Underworld. This fact is notable because not only is she a woman, but she is also half Chinese, half Japanese, and, because she was born on an American army base, she is technically American. Unlike the Spouse and Vernita, whose identities are primarily based on attempts to extinguish their natural killer instincts, O-Ren’s issues with identity are rooted in his heritage. Although she shows no significant shame about being half-Chinese or American in a culture that seems to attribute these things, when Boss Tanaka (Jun Kunimura) attacks her for them, he quickly runs across a table and cuts off her head. He then proceeded to address the rest of the crime bosses, saying that they were free to discuss anything with her, except that she would bring up her negative Chinese and American heritage. O-Ren explained that attacking something about his family was the catalyst for his revenge.
In a flashback sequence that helps illustrate War Volume 1‘s kung fu genre, O-Ren’s story is told in anime form. When he was a child, like Nikki, he witnessed the murder of his parents. A few years later, when he was still a young teenager, he took revenge by killing his parents. Not only is this the catalyst for him to enter the life of crime in which he would be so happy, but it is also very similar to Nikki’s situation and is perhaps a level of foreshadowing.
The engagement with Budd’s brother Bill (Michael Madsen) is unique for two reasons: he just didn’t kill him. He never says a word to her. Budd, who also received a code name while a member of the Deadly Viper Squad (Sidewinder) is the only one who recognizes that his Bride deserves revenge and deserves to die. Although she fights and goes so far as to bury him alive, her estrangement from Bill and the forced exile behind him into poverty make her a more sympathetic character. The reason for hating the Spouse is from the injury that caused his brother, so in this sense he, the Spouse, O-Ren, perhaps shared Nikki at a later date or shared the same attack of revenge: injury or death. family members. When Budd is finally killed, it is due to Elle Driver (Daryl Hannah) that the black mamba brings the snake to bite him. Since Black Mamba was the name of their bride, it can be argued that she had a hand in killing him after all.
Elle Driver is the only member of the Death Viper Assassination Squad whose motives for revenge are unknown and is also the only member whose fate is uncertain at the end of the film. When all the members: Vernita, O-Ren, Budd and Elle act at Bill’s bidding when they throw
