Kill Bill Volume 2

     Kill Bill Volume 2 is an okay movie. Not great and not too exciting but it did have a few thrills here and there. I liked how the whole revenge thing came to a 'happy ending', although it ain't really all that happy because a lot of people got killed off in the process. I'd like to talk about my favorite parts of the movie.
     Hands down the best part of the movie is when the Bride, Beatrice Kiddo. ends up becoming an apprentice to this Chinese Kung Fu master. I talked to my dad today about the movie and he told me that that Kung Fu master is a real famous Kung Fu movie star in Chinese movies. Pretty rad. The master-student relationship is real and this Master really doesn't think much of Beatrice at first, even threatening to break her arm at one point when she's showing him her Kung Fu. She really did a lot of training. She was punching wooden blocks day after day and her hands hurt so badly that she couldn't hold up her chopsticks to eat her rice at dinner. But the best part was when the master fought her when they first met. He just beat the crap out of her. Beatrice and she couldn't even hit him once with her Hanzo sword (a super good sword made by a master swordsmith from the first film). Also, I thought it was really funny how the Chinese master martial artist said he hated Japs when Beatrice said she knew Japanese. In addition, it was funny how he looked. He had this really long white hair and these super long eyebrows. It was hilarious actually. He was a cool character. He ends up teaching Beatrice this technique where you can basically kill someone by stopping their heart, something called exploding palm something or other. But we don't find out he taught it to Beatrice until the very end of the movie, when Beatrice uses it to kill Bill.
     Poor Bill didn't even put up much of a fight and he didn't have a chance. But it wasn't suppose to be about them fighting. We learn in this film at the end that Beatrice's kid survived, and that its a girl. And that Bill was living with her in like Mexico (or some Spanish country), in some super nice mansion. It was the best ending that could've happened for Beatrice. Her kid was alive and she got her revenge. Earlier in the film she got into a cat fight with the woman with only one eye. But that fight ends when Beatrice rips out the woman's other eye, leaving her in a trailer in frightening agonizing pain. She put up a good fight though and this was pretty much the only 'real' fight in the whole movie. Back to Bill though.
     Bill pretty much explains a bunch of stuff at the end like how he was upset that Beatrice didn't tell her she was alive and this and that. They pretty much resolve all their conflicts with words but then Beatrice says,"We still have unfinished business," something like that. And then they start fighting with their Hanzo swords. It's a disappointing fight though because Bill gets beaten pretty easily and he ends up dying when Beatrice pulls out the exploding palm technique. When Bill finds out she knows how to this he's all surprised because she never told him about it. But the real resolution to this movie is when Beatrice takes her daughter out of there, safe and sound.
     In the last scene we see Beatrice lying on the floor in a bathroom, probably crying over everything that happened, and how Bill had to die. Bill was also the father of Beatrice's kid so this was probably especially hard on her. Then she comes out of the bathroom and sits down with her daughter and watches a cartoon with her. Great ending! It would be cool if there was a Kill Bill Volume 3 but when I looked it up online I heard that Tarantino was working on it but he ended up scrapping it. It would've been cool seeing the now blind woman come back as a fully developed warrior who only relies on her senses. Think about how amazing that sword fight would be. And she could take Beatrice's daughter hostage and stuff. That would be epic. It's been great watching these old Tarantino films. This was his heyday. It's too bad he can't make good stuff like this anymore. Rip Tarantino movies. Lol.
