Kill Bill

An ethical dilemma is one in which an individual has to choose between two alternatives, both of which are morally right but in conflict. Morals and ethics are inseparable.

Warriors in both the Greek classical tradition and Quentin Terentino’s movie, Kill Bill, represent the glorification of mimetic violence, vendetta and the conversion and mutilation of the enemy warrior into a state of bloody, pre-existence. However, whereas in classical myth male warriors were culturally expected to perpetuate violence and construct their heroic identity in opposition to their mother, the warrior-bride in kill bill constructs her heroic identity in accordance with her maternal…

series Kill Bill, directed by Quentin Tarantino, was released in 1994 and follows the storyline of Beatrix Kiddo, who seeks revenge upon her five worst enemies and presumed killers of her unborn child. On the surface, this film seems to be just a bloody, cut-em-up Tarantino film, but when a feminist critical lens is applied to the film, some things become a little more apparent, such as the underlying implication towards Tarantino's progressive viewpoint on women’s roles in society. The main…

Kill Bill: Volume 1 is about a woman and her journey for vengeance against the people who killed her husband and her friends. The film benefits from auteur criticism because the director, Quentin Tarantino, has a very unique style that he uses in not only this film, but in all of his films. For example, Quentin Tarantino uses the use of tracking shots to his full extent. In Kill Bill: Volume 1, he uses a tracking shot when the Beatrix sneaks into a club bathroom. The tracking shot is used to…

interlinking of characters appearing in each other’s stories. “Pulp Fiction is made better than it would have been if Tarantino had made any one of the three stories within it into its own solo feature-length film.” Tarantino’s movies illustrious for his use of non-linear pattern in his postmodern movies by creating hybrids and diversion in his movies, including as Kill Bill (2003), Reservoir Dogs (1992), and Django Unchained (2013) In his movies Tarantino uses flashbacks to give more depth and…

For some, Toshiya Fujita’s revenge film “Lady Snowblood” will inevitably be linked to Quentin Tarantino’s “Kill Bill vol. 1”, for which it was a major inspiration; Tarantino borrowed aspects of the plot and narrative structure, used the song ‘The flower of carnage’ and let the cinematography inspire him. For all the influence “Lady Snowblood” had on Tarantino, it might be surprising to conclude that the two “Lady snowblood” movies have an anomalous character in Fujita’s oeuvre, as nothing he…

Known for being an atheist, Tarantino has shocked audiences with his gory, vulgar, and violent films that tend to use strong religious themes. Being one of my favorite writers/directors, his use of subtext drew me to analyzing some of his biggest films. Nearly every film he has released to the public has used religion, creating even more controversy. From noticing the irony of Buddhism in Kill Bill, I decided to go further and examine the infamous Pulp Fiction and one of his newer box office…
