Part martial arts, part western, part graphic novel, part grindhouse (hey, that's the name of his new movie with Robert Rodriguez!) this movie has it all. Quentin Tarantino has a knack for groundbreaking films that change filmmaking as we know it. He is creating tomorrow's classics and I for one am soooo happy to have seen all of his movies on the big screen!
The Bride is shot on her wedding day and left for dead. But in fact she is in a coma, and one day she wakes up. Thing is The Bride is not your average girl, she is in fact a professional killer, the best of the best. And now she is a bit upset because the man who shot her - and killed her entire wedding party - is her ex-boss/boyfriend Bill. What hurt her the most was not the betrayal or that she had been repeatedly raped while in a come, but the fact that she had been pregnant when shot.
So The Bride makes a list and checks it twice, she knows who has been naughty - no one was nice. And so she makes her way across the US and Asia looking for weapons and the people responsible for her tragedy. She knows she cannot get even, to get even-steven she would have to kill the people who shot her, their significant others and their children, so revenge will have to be enough.
Super smart, funny and violent. You know Tarantino, he does not pussy foot around. He makes a point by making people bleed. Many people cannot get past the violence to see that in THIS case all that violence is an integral part of the story. It is The Bride's journey to self discovery and her destiny to bathe the world in blood before she can find peace.
Highly recommended, but if you are easily offended then stay away you wimp!
