Tonight, Lauren and I went and saw Kill Bill Vol 2. Needless to say it was quite a film. I am not much of a film snob as I was when I was young. I have grown to love cheesy action movies seen on a humongous screen with a huge pop-corn and a soda that shouts restroom. Yet, deep inside there is still a desire to see films and not just movies. Kill Bill was this kind of experience. I especially enjoyed it because I have really wanted to try and learn more about design and art from a production standpoint (as in I want to "produce" art). Kill Bill was nothing short of an artistic master piece in the same vein as Andy Warhol. It makes fun of a genre of films that can only be enjoyed by a cult, kung fu. Yet in its playful poking fun, it manages to extract the very best elements of the genre to create art. I am not much of a critic so my analysis ends there. I can say that I recommend it and that it really shows Tarantino as an artist and not merely a director/writer. Ok, seriously now, that is the end of it. No more Siskel out of me.
