One of the most prominent fight scenes in the movie Kill Bill includes the main female character, referred to as “The Bride,” in the foreground and about a dozen or more men in the middleground and background. The background seems as though this scene is taking place in an Asian style restaurant or building. There are about five men who are lying dead on the floor as the other men stand surrounding the main character. All of the men are shown holding a samurai sword with both of their hands while the main character is shown holding her sword with only her left hand. The men are all dressed in black suits with their faces covered by black masks. While the main character is wearing a bright yellow with black stripes tracksuit. She seems to be of Caucasian descent while the men are of Asian descent. These elements convey a drastic contrast between the main character and the rest of the characters. By doing so, this scene challenges the idea of gender roles in society. The main character is centered in the middle of the frame and is surrounded by men around her.

The movie is very engaging and had an auteur that made this movie stand out from other movies. While watching this movie over and over throughout the years, I would notice more detail. The fight scene in which I have chosen to analyze caught my attention each time. This one scene included hidden details that can only be noticed if paused and analyze the scene closely. Kill Bill is rated “R” due to the intensity of the violence shown throughout the movie. In this scene, there is evidence of blood so violence was involved. Viewers would have to be desensitized to seeing blood and gore. Anyone who enjoys fight scenes involving samurai swords combined with martial art skills would be drawn to this scene while others might find it offensive due to the usage of Asian
Overall I found the movie to be quite interesting and exciting at times but a bit slow in others. The story itself was very clear to me and didn’t cause any confusion. It had a good flow also, just as you were on the verge of falling into boredom with a scene they switched it up on you to keep you

In the era of The American Civil War their were many battles between the North and the South; also known as the Union and the Confederates. Although there were a lot of deaths in this war, The Battle of Gettysburg has been recorded to be one of the deadliest battles in history. The Killer Angels was written to be based on The Battle of Gettysburg; in which the author claimed that he wrote the story in a different angle than the way they teach it in “school”, the story was based on the perspective of the people themselves. (Killer Angels pg xiii) Although the soldiers had different motivational factors; I will go over the soldier’s reasons for fighting, the difference in the reasons that each side had, and the matter that enabled these men to fight in the face of death.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed the film. I have even considered buying the film. Henry Fonda’s role as a dissenting juror in a murder trial slowly manageing to convince the others that the case is not as obviously clear as it seemed in court was supurb. Taking film as a course, made me enjoy the film even more because I paid close attention to the film making aspects also. Filming in one room, for partcality the whole movie was noteablly stressful for the actors, who on screen proformace of yelling
As a young girl I always had a fascination with mystery books, it was my first favorite genre of books. I had a huge interests for mystery and crime and the psychology behind it. But the one crime that truly left me thinking for a while was the story of the Zodiac Killer. The Zodiac Killer is a murderer who taunted the bay area with sending descriptions of his brutal crimes to the San Francisco Chronicle to ultimately frighten them. His crimes were in the late 1960’s and up to this day he has never been caught despite his sloppy mistakes. Even with technology so advanced now it is still a cold case. If it was this guys wisdom or the detectives lack of wisdom that made one man able to shake up all of California and get away with it, no one would ever know. But mainly what we will never know is what drove one man to commit such horrid crimes and could all this had been prevented by the community.
Napoleon Dynamite is an over-hyped, poorly delivered, slow-paced film about Napoleon, a tall, lanky and red-headed kid who wants everyone to know he's lonely. It is set in the Idaho desert which perfectly reflects the dry humor forced throughout the film. The film was also poorly made and reportedly made less than 400,000 US dollars. I did not enjoy or get the appeal of Napoleon Dynamite, the film consisted of irritating characters saying unpleasant things to each other in a monotonous tone which was expected to draw out a laugh.
"People should not be afraid of their governments. Governments should be afraid of their people." V for Vendetta is an action packed thriller that involves lots of intense scenes and follows a great storyline. This film does an awesome job of keeping you on the edge of your seat throughout. This movie is great in showing that the people are powerful and can be in charge, if they put their minds to it.
The story is brilliantly told, from the set designs to the wardrobe. The cast is headed by some of Hollywood’s finest and having never seen a Del Toro film previously to this one, I can say that it definitely sparked my interested to see his other
All of the characters presented in the movie have a distinct personality, making the viewer engage deeply in the heart pumping action and drama.
After the success of Reservoir Dogs, Tarantino’s Kill Bill Volume 1 and 2 was another big hit, and this time with Kill Bill Quentin Tarantino has insert a lot of cash and effort in this film. A budget of 30 million USD has been taken to make the first volume of Kill Bill, and it took over a year making Kill Bill. When asked about “why write this movie” Quentin Tarantino’s response was “ I wrote a movie I wanted to see,” “I spent over a year making a movie I wanted to see” He also states that all his movies were made for his fans but he himself consider him as the biggest fans of his films; therefore, Kill Bill was created for himself and everyone else was invited to watch this movie along with him. Kill Bill created a big hit all over the world
When someone thinks of a Quentin Tarantino movie, the first things that come to mind are his excellent storytelling and developed fleshed out characters. In films such as Pulp Fiction and Kill Bill, the elements that make Tarantino such a great Director and screenwriter are pushed aside for cartoonish violence, gore and blood. The prolific use of blood, specifically in Kill Bill, is used not only as a major story point, but also as pure adrenaline filled, nonstop entertainment that will keep its viewers glued on to the screen. In Kill Bill, the main plot of the story revolves around Uma Thurman’s character seeking revenge for her attempted assassination, but it is set aside with the gore presented from the very beginning of the movie. The big
The setting of the story and all the visual effects are fantastic. If you watch this film, and do not understand it, definitely give it another watch. Maybe it was Denis Villeneuve’s goal to keep us
Comment: I found this film very tough going- it is undoubtedly a well made film and has some clever and quirky moments. However I lost interest around halfway through the film and could not engage with the film and its clunky style. A lighter touch would have made a huge difference to the viewing experience. Perhaps as an artistic statement it deserves more than three stars but as a movie going experience it was only a little bit better than average.
