[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1488513, member: 812"] Great film. Great, great film, with the primary joy being the powerful performances from all the principals: Uma Thurman, David Carradine, Michael Madsen and Daryl Hannah. Wonderful to see these actors putting their chops out on the line and delivering subtle performances all down the line. Not a single misplaced note anywhere. Uma deserves an Oscar nomination, hands down. Her transitions are so perfect -- when she confronts Bill in front of the chapel, when she clutches her new-found daughter to her, when she witnesses the results of Esteban's "cutting" -- absolutely perfect, beautifully specific. I'm glad this story didn't get cut down to three hours -- four hours is nearly perfect. There are perhaps two moments in the two films that might be accused of being "padding" -- the long sequence of the Bride's trip from Okinawa to the House of Blue Leaves in Vol 1 and the latter part of the Bride's reunion with B.B., as they lie on the bed watching [i]Shogun Assassin[/i]. That said, I'm very sorry that "Yuki's Revenge" got pulled -- it was just about my favourite part of the sceenplay. For those who don't know, Yuki is (I think) Gogo's little sister who comes to the States to track down the Bride for her own revenge. There's a brilliant sequence of this sadistic, brutal killer of a girl having vacation photos taken around California, with her hands in the ubiquitous Japanese vacation photo gesture of the "peace" sign. It sure made me laugh. But Vol 2 more than amply filled out the themes that had been sketched into Vol 1, and provides a heartfelt redemption for our hardcore killer angel. Nicely done. It seems to be tracking to do substantially better than its predecessor, which is a neat trick for a sequel. Combine that with the very strong performance of the first film's DVD release and I think Miramax have to be pretty happy with the decisions they made on this picture -- firstly to give QT the freedom to do what he wanted, and secondly to break it into two films.
