KILL BILL: VOLUME 2 Movie Reaction! | First Time Watch! | Quentin Tarantino | Uma Thurman

Uma thurman’s performance is so criminally underrated. She was capable of portray all this wide range of emotions while being an action star at the same time. It was ahead of its time

Kill Bill is poetry. Beatrix first slays O'Ren, a crime boss which Beatrix could have been had she stayed with Bill. Then, she slays Vernita, a happy homemaker in the suburbs living the life Beatrix could have had if Bill hadn't attacked the wedding rehearsal. She can't kill Bud, Bill's brother, because he's a stand-in for Bill himself and history repeats. Elle, who is essentially Beatrix while she worked for Bill (blonde femme fatale in a sexual relationship with Bill), kills Bud similarly to how Beatrix's betrayal "killed" Bill before. Then, Beatrix slays Elle effectively destroying her past. Finally, with her potential futures and her past gone, she exists fully in the moment and goes after Bill. History repeats; she catches his sword in her sheath and breaks his heart, again.

I'm pretty sure Beatrix is just happy crying that it's over and she has her daughter back in the end, not really because she was grieving Bill.

Fun fact: The great Michael Parks and Gordon Liu both played two different roles in volumes 1&2. Michael Parks played Texas Ranger McGraw in #1 and Esteban in #2. Gordon Liu played Johnny Mo of the Crazy 88 in #1 and Pai Mei in #2.

I love the 1st movie for the action. I LOVE the second for its poetry. Remember when Pai Mei said her arm was HIS ARM now and he wanted his arm strong. She used HIS arm to pluck Elle’s last eye out 😂 so in a way Pai Mei got his revenge for her poisoning him

I love how Vol. 1 was done in a more Eastern, Chinese style film and Vol. 2 was done in an Old Western American style, showing Tarantino’s love of both genres. It’s also a testament to great writing and someone who understands that movies are meant to be entertainment and not 100% reality and not platforms for agendas.

In the end, she wasn't crying out of regret, she was crying out of RELIEF... She even says "THANK YOU"

B.B. was already in the process of becoming an assassin. Bill was training her to see death from a cold-hearted perspective and get familiar with weapons which she seemed to respond very well. It’s interesting to see how things would turn out had Beatrix supported Bill’s idea. With parents like those two, B.B. would become one hell of an assassin.

22:30 Glad to see this scene hasn’t lost it’s impact 😂💯👁

Wow just realized the shot/angle of Uma at the end when she’s laying on the ground playing dead and her daughter comes to her, mirrors the shot at the beginning of her actually being shot and being pregnant, losing her baby. So good!

They should do a third volume with Maya Hawke playing a grown-up version of BB. She could've just told her daughter that Bill had a heart attack.

I love the fact that Pai Mai grew & had such a soft spot/respect for Beatrix in the end, he taught her (and only her) his F-P-P-E-H-T. With Elle betraying Pai Mai, Beatrix is the last true MASTER with ALL the secrets. Nobody can beat her. The entire two-part movie is a masterpiece.

Pai Mei teaches NO ONE that 5 point trick, but he taught it to Beatrix and she used it to kill bill. Hattori Hanzo swore an oath never to make another sword, but he broke it for Beatrix so she could kill Bill. Esteban Vihaio considered Bill a son, but he betrayed Bill's whereabouts to Beatrix, allowing her to locate and kill Bill. Bill's father figures don't seem to be very pleased with how Bill turned out! Or maybe he just tends to bring that out in people?

The Pai Mei sequence is probably my favorite part of any QT film, it’s insanely good

David Carradine’s monologue about superheroes alter egos and how they pertain to Beatrix is one of the best monologues in film history. Not only is he giving the best performance of his life but the writing and directing is flawless. And yes he could in fact play that awesome flute. Also the 3 Inch Punch which Beatrix uses to escape the coffin is a real life martial arts technique. Unfortunately they proved on Mythbusters that the weight of the dirt would not only make it impossible but even if they did break through she would’ve been crushed by the weight of the dirt. Still an amazing scene though.

The massive combination of the first and second Kill Bill movies stands as a testament to both Tarantino's exceptional skill as a filmmaker and the possibilities of pop cinema.

I dig how Bill isn't even trying too hard. He's drinking heavily in those last few scenes. And then Beatrix reacts almost instinctually with the 5-point technique, like, Bill wasn't wrong about her: she's a natural killer

I will never forget my friend and I sneaking in to see this movie in 8th grade lol. We had snuck in randomly to see the first one without having any idea what it was about…and our minds were blown. So basically my friend and I went to the movies at least once a month sometimes it was every weekend. We went to theaters to see something and it was absolutely awful and we missed the first 20 minutes but Kill Bill was just about to start. The elderly usher who was retired and worked at the theater as a hobby and for a little extra cash knew us really well and ended up seeing us in there clearly not being old enough but didn’t say anything. Thank god because that experience changed my entire life.

Tarantino is a master at crafting tension. Also, as much as I dislike Daryl Hannah's character, I see her as a tragic character. It is my belief that Bill recruited her, seduced her, and trained her in an effort to replace Beatrix. And, she knew she was always competing against or being compared to Beatrix, which is why she was so obsessed with her. In my head canon, Daryl Hannah, though totally blind, is still a trained student of Pai Mei. Elle will find Vernita Green's daughter (whom Beatrix told to eventually come find her if she wanted revenge) and train her as the instrument of her revenge against Beatrix. Beatrix will naturally train her daughter Bebe as well, so there will be an inevitable confrontation between the young students and the mother-masters who raised and trained them.

I recommend Django Unchained. It's another Quentin Tarantino movie.
