It’s a fatalistic outlook, and something of a bummer once you come to empathize with people on both sides. Go Go’s twin sister, Yuki, was originally going to try and take down Beatrix in a “huge gunfight.” Vengeance in Kill Bill is a hydra cut down one head and three rise up in its place. In fact, after landing a knife in Vernita’s chest, Beatrix invites Nikkia to exact her own revenge someday if she “still feels raw about it.” And there was even more vengeance in original drafts. She isn’t deterred from her plan by the well-being of Vernita’s daughter, 4-year-old Nikkia. Four years later, Beatrix plots her revenge on those murderers, including Vernita Green. She gets engaged, but Bill, her jilted ex-lover, enlists his group of assassins to murder Beatrix’s entire wedding party and almost kills her. Beatrix Kiddo wants to escape her life of violence for her unborn daughter’s sake. Let’s examine the plot of Kill Bill for an example. Tarantino fills his face (and our screens) with cool crimes of violence, and the coolness of those crimes undermines the director’s ambivalence toward that violence. In the Futurama episode “Bender Should Not Be Allowed on TV,” an act break begins with this tag: “You’re watching Futurama - the show that does not advocate the cool crime of robbery!” That’s Quentin Tarantino’s whole career in a nutshell. Head to Vulture’s Twitter to catch the live commentary. This week’s selection comes from Vulture writer Bethy Squires, who will begin her screening of Kill Bill Vol.

But that gray is overshadowed by the bright yellow of her jumpsuit and kick-ass katana fights.įor the next few weeks, Vulture will be selecting a film to watch with our readers as part of our Friday Night Movie Club. I want to do Hateful Eight onstage and I want to do Reservoir Dogs onstage.… I could see myself writing a novelization of Reservoir Dogs.The Bride’s quest for vengeance is morally gray. “I hope to do two more books and a play, and then we’ll see what we are. Tarantino added that he plans to continue writing for various projects during his retirement. You don’t get to reject us! We’ll tell you when you’re done, you don’t tell us when you’re done!’ I don’t know what the next story is going to be. But it’s almost like…you’re not saying this, but way back, back, back behind what you’re saying,, ‘No motherfucker, we reject you. I don’t want it to be like, ‘Forget about the shit he’s doing now, back in the day….’” Rogan countered: “But you’re at the top of your game,” to which Tarantino shot back, “That’s the perfect time!” Rogan noted some directors get too complacent, but, “You’re not that guy.” Tarantino: “I don’t think I’m that guy, either. I want to retire before I lose to Leon Spinks and leave you wanting more. It doesn’t mean they’re without worth, but it’s just not the excitement of when blah-blah-blah had a new movie or album coming out. “And then at a certain point, it’s not exciting or special anymore. “You all know actors, bands, singers, sports dudes that you loved and when they were doing something new, it was exciting and special,” Tarantino said. That said, Tarantino made it clear he doesn’t have another project coming anytime soon, and his next film would likely be a quieter drama. 3 could also be considered part of that same saga … which means it wouldn’t count as his separate final film.

As he made clear yet again during the Rogan interview, the director counts Kill Bill 1 and 2 as one film. But a potential Kill Bill sequel could provide a loophole, if he should want one, that could give fans two more movies. Speaking of which, Tarantino has made it clear he’s going to retire after making his 10th film, which is widely assumed to mean he’s going to make just one more. But the scene did not explicitly show her death, thus leaving an opening for a sequel. The scene strongly suggested the character perished and many fans have long assumed she did.

But in the film, Driver was left blinded and flailing about in a trailer as the deadly black mamba snake closes in. In Tarantino’s original Kill Bill script, Driver was explicitly killed off and the Bride watched her die. The director also confirmed, as he has previously, that Hannah’s character “is still out there.”
