Tarantino lingers on the blood spraying from people. Spoilery sections:[spoiler]Her baby is still alive.[/spoiler]Lovely moment. A very good way to end the movie, setting it up for Part 2. I mean, what else could have surprised you as an audience? What other cliffhanger could he have left it on?[spoiler]House of Blue Leaves fight. Genius stuff, but I still think there was some really sick humour there. "Go home to your mother!" Plus, the section where she hacks of a bunch of feet off, leaving all these guys rolling around on the floor. I chuckled. Maybe I'm just sick. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" />[/spoiler] Don't go see the film if you don't like the look of it, and if you do go and see it please don't come on here and complain about the violence. It's Tarantino does 70's Kung-Fu bloodfest, you all know it is. I'm not quite sure about feeling nothing for The Bride. I mean, so far as we can tell at the moment, she was brutally near-killed on her wedding day, along with eight other people, and we've been given no reason. Then she was [spoiler]repeatedly raped in the hospital[/spoiler]. I think she has a right to be more than a little annoyed. Especially considering the genre. I sympathise with her more than anyone else. At least she kills people cleanly. Mostly. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /> A great film. Soundtrack is great, too.</blockquote>
