Kill Bill film review
Kill Bill is my favorite movie in the last ten years. My favorite scene in the movie is the cartoon scene which about O ren’s childhood. Actually, the whole move is like a cartoon. That’s the reason why I like it. But, there are still a vast number of people do not like it. It is a film which talks about an assassin’s revenge.


Firstly, this scene is the only cartoon scene in the whole movie. The whole cartoon scence is about O ren’s bloody childhood. O ren is one of the main characters in the dead list which create by the bride. O ren’s parents are all killed by the Japanese yakusa boss matzu moto. This 8 minutes cartoon shows that O ren’s parents dead in front of her. And she killed matzu moto at 12 years old. Then, she becomes the most dangerous assassin in the world. The whole scene is wonderful, but I will only talk about the first minutes. This part of the cartoon happened in O ren’s house. She hide herself under the bed when those yakusas killing her parents. The first shot type is extremely close up to little O ren’s eyes. It seems that she is scared. It is a very good way to make audients curious the situation of the little girl’s family. Then the director uses the shot type called point of view with tracking three times from little O ren’s eyes to show the situation in the house. It shows that the yakusa boss matzo moto and her parents’ location.

Secondly, the medium shot shows the fight between O ren’s father and two of the yakusa members. The light in this part of cartoon is important too. Because of that it is a little bit dark in the house during that time. The light from those two small light balls at the top is not enough for the whole place. It seems that the light here is the symbol of dangerous.


However, the music stopped for a second. It is believed that there are always something bad happened if the music stops suddenly. Then the point of view from O ren’s mother shows that there is a samurai sword through O ren’s father’s body. Then, the camera panning from right side of the sword to the left. It clearly shows that the yakusa’s smile. Then audience can see O ren’s shoulder to her dad with blood in front of the bed. Then the yakusa put the sword into O ren’s father’s head.

Then, the point of view from little O ren’s eyes tilting up from her father’s head to the top of the samurai sword, then the yakusa’s face show up. It is a good way to show that the yakusa’s bloodiness. It also shows that yakusa control all the during that time, because of that camera tilting up from O ren’s father’s head to that yakusa’s smiling face and little girl hide herself under the bed


Finally, the camera close up to O ren’s face, that angry face is not match this 9 years old little girl. Because of that little O ren hide her under the bed. Those yakusas did not find her. Her parents are all dead but the little still alive. It is a symbol of O ren’s revenge later.

In this part of the movie, close up being used many times, It is a very good to character’s emotion.
