Classically Abby - Husband VS. Wife Movie Review： Tarantino SPEED ROUND!! ｜｜ We had a TON of thoughts!

00:00:00.000 Hello beautiful ladies and welcome to today's video where we're going to be 1.00

00:00:03.780 reviewing all of the Quentin Tarantino movies we recently watched in our own

00:00:07.440 Quentin Tarantino movie festival.

00:00:12.240 So recently Jacob and I decided that we were going to do a Tarantino festival

00:00:16.360 because I hadn't seen... Yeah, we decided. It wasn't a unilateral husband decision to

00:00:20.760 inflict upon my wife. It was totally a collaborative thing because you are

00:00:25.800 totally the kind of person who would come up with the idea to put yourself

00:00:28.640 through that. Well there was a little bit of me involved because I used to have a

00:00:33.740 haircut that looked exactly like Uma Thurman's from Pulp Fiction and people

00:00:38.320 used to tell me that I looked like her from that movie and I'd never seen it.

00:00:41.000 So I felt like maybe I should so I kind of got dragged into it but also I was okay

00:00:46.460 with it. And now eight movies later your mild curiosity about one film that you

00:00:53.300 had a haircut similar to has panned out in a brutal time-wasting fashion. So

00:00:58.400 because we watched all of these movies we figured we would do five minute speed

00:01:02.180 reviews of each film and put them up for you guys to see. So if you're deciding

00:01:05.900 whether you want to watch a Quentin Tarantino movie you'll have most of them

00:01:10.100 reviewed by us. Yeah the only things we're leaving out are Hateful Eight and

00:01:14.500 Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Hateful Eight because we just cannot put

00:01:20.340 ourselves through it. I watched it when it came out in theaters and that was a real

00:01:24.200 never again for me and I'm not gonna put my wife through that even for the sake of

00:01:27.320 a torturous joke. And then we recently saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and it's

00:01:30.800 so fresh doesn't feel like it needs the retread and review. You know you'd give

00:01:34.820 that thing its own review if you want because it's so new and then all the

00:01:38.160 others you get the retrospective anthology review. Yeah so we're gonna have

00:01:42.740 a good time doing five minute reviews. I'm gonna have a timer in one of these

00:01:46.340 corners here and you guys will see the countdown. So it'll be a lot of fun and

00:01:50.600 let's get into it. Let's establish some ground rules. Describing the movie does

00:01:55.040 not count as part of the five minutes. It doesn't. Oh I was gonna say we just

00:01:58.580 don't describe the movie then. No we gotta give a little setup. So to start off we

00:02:02.920 have 1992's Reservoir Dogs Tarantino's first movie. What's it about? A group of

00:02:08.540 jewel thieves who tried to do an operation together steal some diamonds. It all

00:02:12.680 falls apart and so the movie is primarily just the aftermath of this jewel heist

00:02:16.040 falling apart. Guys accusing each other you're a rat you're the reason why it 0.95

00:02:19.480 failed and then just drama ensemble cast ensues. Yes. What did you think of this 0.94

00:02:25.360 movie? Starting the clock. Oh starting now. Okay. I thought it was extremely along

00:02:34.240 the lines of if you gave a competent high schooler the opportunity to film a

00:02:39.920 stage play. Yeah it was very overrated. People talk about this movie like it's

00:02:43.900 amazing and you know what's weird is it's been a couple of days since we've

00:02:48.360 watched it maybe a week or so and I kind of get why after a certain length of

00:02:53.600 time you remember the snapshots of it but actually watching it no no no it's not

00:02:59.600 well that's every Tarantino movie. Yeah exactly I really think that's kind of his

00:03:03.300 thing is that afterwards after a little bit of time has passed you remember the

00:03:06.920 punchy moments and so you're like oh I remember liking that movie. Is Tarantino

00:03:11.580 the memorable ex-girlfriend or boyfriend of film directors in the sense that like

00:03:17.280 you're watching it and you're bored because almost 90% or more of his movies

00:03:22.120 is just dialogue you don't really care about in order to characterize without

00:03:26.340 characterizing people you feel nothing towards. Yes. And then the few things you

00:03:30.360 remember are his two to three it's always two to three stylish moments in the movie

00:03:34.700 that I go oh that was a cool thing which you probably stole from somewhere else

00:03:38.280 because he's a massive film nerd who just cribs notes. Yeah. And then it's a week

00:03:41.940 it's two weeks and they're like yeah that was a cool moment maybe look it up on

00:03:45.480 YouTube yeah that was a cool moment. Right. And then you forget that the movie is an

00:03:48.660 hour and forty minutes of just utter just boring nonsense otherwise or two hours

00:03:54.160 then two and a half hours then two hours fifty minutes then three hours of

00:03:58.020 nonsense the guy just keeps adding more and more into these movies and there's

00:04:01.080 still only two to three scenes that are good. It's very odd but what was

00:04:04.120 striking to me because this was the first of his movies was two things one was

00:04:08.860 the sound felt like a recorded stage play and I know this now because we've

00:04:13.780 worked so much on sound for my channel that you know you kind of start to hear

00:04:19.540 things when they're not as well done and you can tell it almost sounds like he

00:04:23.600 just recorded people on a soundstage not really professionally it was very weird

00:04:28.180 but then the other thing was that you don't ever get backstory he considers

00:04:32.660 backstory the like ten minutes before the stuff in the movie happened you know

00:04:37.400 not an actual like you do get your flashbacks that's what I'm saying

00:04:41.600 terribly paced so the movie you've probably seen it because it's super

00:04:45.840 famous if you haven't you know it's the jewel heist it's gone wrong and your

00:04:49.780 first half of the movie is a bunch of the thieves that had managed to make it

00:04:54.020 out meeting up at the rendezvous and few guys arrived and some more arrived and

00:04:58.460 they're talking yelling at each other oh why did it all go wrong accusing each other 0.96

00:05:01.400 I'm not a rat you're a rat and then drama ensues one guy gets his ear cut off 0.81

00:05:06.140 another guy gets shot and then we get flashbacks to like actually who some of

00:05:10.520 these characters are and the flashbacks do not characterize them well at all you

00:05:14.180 still feel nothing about these people whatsoever but it's just all the tension

00:05:18.860 and dramas the first half and then you have really quite useless narratively

00:05:24.080 ineffectual boring just kind of backstory one of the guys did turn out to be a rat on the

00:05:30.140 right undercover cop and so you see oh some tension for him but we already know

00:05:34.340 in the present tense he's been gut shot he's lying bleeding on the floor and they

00:05:38.060 don't suspect him really so like I don't there's no tension there's no tension we

00:05:41.920 already know where you end up you already successfully infiltrated the crew and also

00:05:45.800 you just don't really care what I meant about the flashbacks is that all the

00:05:48.500 flashbacks happen in relation with the other characters that we already know in the

00:05:51.740 movie so it's not getting to know each character on his own have sympathy for them

00:05:55.760 it's getting to know how kind of they ended up in this specific moment not how they ended

00:06:00.920 up at this point in their lives yeah and so I don't really care so much about these characters

00:06:06.020 because it's just them in this specific moment not in the broader scheme of things something

00:06:11.480 that's occurring to me right now is that Tarantino characters are utterly unsympathetic or

00:06:15.740 unempathizable because they vaguely have a past for the sake of seeming interesting their present is

00:06:23.000 usually just kind of unlikable nonsense and they have no future these people can

00:06:27.260 exist out of like time or concern or a normal life so here none of these

00:06:33.200 characters have anything going on in their world that I root for that I care

00:06:37.100 about hope streams aspirations they're just kind of there for the sake of

00:06:40.160 delivering some dialogue oh like cool moment you know like a choice between 0.99

00:06:44.120 like doing 10 years or blowing away some dumb jerk who's gonna get your way 0.99

00:06:48.900 trying to escape a diamond eyes ain't no choice at all like right you know I'm I'm 0.99

00:06:52.940 a professional gonna do it but I ain't no mad man either like okay I guess that's

00:06:57.080 fine enough dialogue for that scene but it's the most we ever get out of guys

00:07:01.100 like mr. white played by Harvey Keitel or anything else it's just I felt nothing it

00:07:05.960 was upsetting because you want to feel something by that ending that ending

00:07:10.340 should make you feel something and at least for me it was laying it to these

00:07:13.700 people yeah at least for me it was just kind of like oh okay continue but so I

00:07:21.320 thought that there was a lot that was left on the table with that movie didn't

00:07:25.520 do it didn't it didn't really live up to itself and that was reservoir dogs now

00:07:32.820 we're on to Pulp Fiction so Pulp Fiction 1994 again an ensemble crime movie set in

00:07:40.080 Los Angeles oh where'd he get that idea before and so here it's even more

00:07:46.220 disjointed right reservoir dogs was going to be heist movie it went wrong here

00:07:51.080 it's like an anthology series of short stories that are about a bunch of

00:07:54.740 different characters across the LA a lot of vignettes a lot of vignettes and they

00:07:59.500 intersect they don't intersect and they're anachronistically ordered so yeah

00:08:04.820 you're going back and forth in time and across threads and it's like

00:08:08.840 stylishness the movie yes not fashion oh my goodness not fashion but in terms of

00:08:14.300 like self-consciously directing yes wait yes oh I think we're getting into

00:08:17.960 opinion time to hit the clock let's go boom so here's what I thought about

00:08:22.880 Pulp Fiction it felt like the kind of movie that tickles your brain you're like

00:08:28.180 oh I remember that person from that vignette that's cool it connects does it

00:08:33.800 mean anything no but wait I'm sorry we're talking about Pulp Fiction or all Tarantino

00:08:38.960 movies does it mean anything no fair enough but this movie specifically I felt that I

00:08:44.120 felt like oh this is kind of fun because you're connecting the dots because he's

00:08:47.540 kind of like giving you little hints in each vignette of how they all connect and

00:08:50.880 that's kind of like entertaining but it doesn't mean anything and I feel like

00:08:54.720 that's a big thing exactly like you just said in Tarantino films is that there's

00:08:58.360 all this style and there's all these things that he puts in like when you

00:09:00.880 open the briefcase it glows oh that's interesting why well it turned out they

00:09:05.020 just kind of did that and then later on when one of the guys who was like the big

00:09:08.460 producer on the movie was interviewed about it because oh my god the fan theories that

00:09:12.220 we've heard from people when we went on Twitter and said we weren't the biggest

00:09:14.920 fans oh but once you know what's in the briefcase it's profound and then it

00:09:18.640 turns out that the people made the movie said oh yeah we it's whatever you want

00:09:21.640 to be it's just a plot point like we put out of light in there because it was cool

00:09:25.120 right that's the level of the creators relationship to this movie but because

00:09:29.360 the style and the way it's talked about feels so significant people want to

00:09:33.460 import meaning but like this is like a bad English class where your teacher

00:09:37.300 tells you the book is great and so it just gives you an A if you validate that the book is

00:09:41.600 great by coming up with literally any interpretation or meaning whatsoever no

00:09:45.620 matter how contrived as opposed to well on its own merits I don't think this has

00:09:49.360 anything to say and the guy has like a way with constructing sentences but

00:09:53.180 literally to no end yeah and that's the thing here is this movie what I said to

00:09:58.040 Abigail at the time when we're watching it is this movie comes across like a guy who

00:10:01.320 is technically hyper capable of achieving what he wants to in each scene for

00:10:06.600 example the Jackrabbit Slim's restaurant scene where John Travolta and Uma Thurman go out

00:10:10.460 and they're like not date babysitting thing that Marcellus Wallace had him do the

00:10:15.700 way it's shot the camera movement the scene it's all super competent I can only

00:10:21.500 imagine that what Tarantino wanted that scene to look like is exactly what it

00:10:25.880 looked like but it achieves not it's for no reason this is a guy who like well I

00:10:31.820 would one of the things that I said no it's not I'm gonna finish what I was

00:10:35.180 saying he's a guy who can do exactly what he wants to do but he doesn't want to do

00:10:40.420 anything worthwhile yeah exactly one of the things that I was noticing during

00:10:44.120 these movies is that I feel like he is an actor's director he really likes sitting

00:10:48.680 there and having people say their lines getting into the nitty-gritty of why

00:10:52.820 their character would say their lines but like why are they saying those lines in

00:10:56.300 and in the actual get the nitty-gritty why they'd say exactly that's what I'm

00:10:59.340 saying it's just they know the actors know and he is the director knows but as

00:11:02.820 the viewer those lines are not meaningful to the story they do not push the story

00:11:07.380 forward and honestly and a lot of times they don't actually even develop the

00:11:10.980 character it's just kind of like this is how normal people talk let's capture it

00:11:14.820 on camera okay that's cool but what's the point of that in the scheme of the

00:11:20.400 whole movie there's no so there's two comparisons I make here so since these

00:11:24.100 movies are almost all dialogue the dialogue is super important and those scenes

00:11:28.200 are super important for analyzing whether or not the movie works I know

00:11:31.260 you're gonna remember the scene with the adrenaline needle in the heart we're

00:11:34.380 gonna remember the scene where Samuel Jackson says his badass fake Bible verse

00:11:37.860 and then blows the guy away but that's like three minutes worth of the movie and

00:11:42.120 then it's two and a half hours of just conversation otherwise and the thing is

00:11:45.900 it's like if Seinfeld were written by someone with like no sense of humor who

00:11:51.320 like is um one of those college students who wears like the edgy clothing

00:11:54.660 and smokes cigarettes and thinks deep thoughts that aren't deep like man the

00:11:58.800 world is messed up sometimes but not even that it's just like it's either that

00:12:02.460 or it's like the group of college students who get high and have profound

00:12:06.420 conversations and then think this would make an amazing podcast man because we're

00:12:10.380 so funny our dynamics so good and then they record it and turns out to be

00:12:13.800 terrible there was an episode of that 70s show where they they all get high as I

00:12:17.540 can see in the show they record themselves talking because they think we're

00:12:20.800 gonna like solve all the world's problems and we have such amazing thoughts they 0.95

00:12:23.820 play it back and it's just a bunch of high teenagers laughing dumb nonsense 0.96

00:12:27.960 that's this it's just like your dialogue is nonsense nothing royalties yeah I 0.89

00:12:35.820 guess the only thing I'll say positives Samuel L Jackson I really amazing as an

00:12:40.940 actor amazing did a great job yeah and Tarantino is definitely developing his

00:12:44.820 style in this movie now do I like his style maybe not but this movie is

00:12:49.140 definitely like a step up from Reservoir Dogs in okay this is Tarantino we know

00:12:54.040 Tarantino is now it's it's a mature director here not mature artist a

00:12:59.460 mature director in terms of like nothing comes across as if he didn't try to get

00:13:03.300 across we wanted to right nothing comes across that whatever I said it right

00:13:06.700 nothing comes across poorly here it's just that the guy doesn't want to achieve

00:13:11.100 anything worthwhile so like the movie is all a lot of sound and fury signifying

00:13:15.420 nothing not a fan not profound get over yourself read a book so next movie is

00:13:24.600 in 1997 to Jackie Brown what is Jackie Brown because it's probably the least

00:13:29.820 well-known I had never even heard of it yeah I'd seen all of the Tarantino movies

00:13:34.380 except Jackie Brown before this festival and then we rewatched them so Jackie Brown

00:13:39.780 is based upon and I'm reading it here film adaptation of Elmore Leonard's 1992

00:13:45.360 novel Rum Punch it is the only feature-length film that Tarantino has adapted

00:13:49.680 from a previous work interesting and it's meant to pay homage to 1970s

00:13:54.000 blaxploitation movies that comes across with like the music and the theming and

00:13:59.820 the way it's shot things like that but plot of the movie so it's the most

00:14:04.320 straightforward I guess Tarantino movie it's just a little crime heist story

00:14:09.780 unlike Reservoir Dogs where you get the aftermath and you jump back and forth

00:14:13.500 unlike Pulp Fiction where it's disparate little vignettes anachronistically

00:14:19.200 ordered here it's a story that starts at one point in time follows the

00:14:23.320 characters doing things and then reaches a resolution at the end where they have

00:14:26.460 accomplished what they need to yeah and that's it so super straightforward so now

00:14:31.260 to commence with the review oh so here are my thoughts on Jackie Brown it was

00:14:38.880 entirely forgettable I literally feel like I've forgotten it are there stylish

00:14:43.620 moments in the movie I've seen people cut YouTube clips of Samuel L Jackson saying 0.96

00:14:49.080 AK-47 for when you absolutely have to kill every mofo in the room except no 1.00

00:14:53.820 substitutes which is in the first minute of the movie yeah and then there's 0.61

00:14:58.020 nothing else to remember from the movie that's to the degree that you remember

00:15:01.440 that one line right now here's the thing I think Jackie Brown is actually a good

00:15:05.400 example of what I was talking about where he is where Tarantino proves that he is

00:15:09.360 an actor's director because everyone in the movie puts in good performances yeah

00:15:13.500 they're all good actors to begin with so he really does work well with actors

00:15:18.640 it's just the story itself I think theoretically could have been told well but

00:15:23.520 he's just so interested in myself well in that character driven conversation

00:15:28.860 which isn't character driven but in those conversations that it really slows

00:15:32.820 down the movie so there's just no pacing he's not good at pacing oh yeah well

00:15:37.260 he doesn't notice trying to achieve at the movie he's just trying to put stuff on

00:15:41.040 the screen that he'd like to see in separate moments I'm guessing the way it

00:15:45.060 comes across with all this dialogue with all this indulgence of the actors and

00:15:48.240 being an actors director it's as if you made a movie designed to be a series of

00:15:53.820 audition tapes for an actors like highlights real like my portfolio

00:15:58.380 includes this five-minute sequence I can show you where I have this

00:16:02.580 conversation which you need no context for has no significance outside itself but

00:16:06.960 gives me an opportunity to come across as affable conversational have like an

00:16:10.640 opinion on something have some back and forth it's like it's just a constant

00:16:14.120 opportunity for his actor friends or people he worships the craft of to do a

00:16:18.740 series of moments but they're all disjointed like the plot here exists and

00:16:23.780 there is stuff that runs through it's just that I don't care right like none of the

00:16:27.200 characters exist in a way that you grapple I remember while we were watching

00:16:32.660 it saying to you I just don't feel the tension in a way the story felt so too

00:16:38.920 small is that weird to say because normally with the heist movie you don't

00:16:42.380 feel like oh it needs to be huge it needs to be enormous but for something

00:16:45.860 for something for some reason this movie just felt too small so I was like well

00:16:50.660 takes aren't that what we said at the time is that the it's too little plot it's

00:16:54.260 just an arms dealer played by Samuel L Jackson with five hundred thousand

00:16:59.120 dollars that he has like in a bank in Mexico trying to get over to the states

00:17:03.020 so he can have his money the ATF is trying to crack down on the guy and arrest

00:17:07.760 him and the main character is an airline stewardess that the arms dealer is

00:17:12.260 using to funnel money back and forth she gets roped in she's coming up with a 0.95

00:17:16.820 plan to outwit everyone and run away with the money herself and it's that so 1.00

00:17:20.300 the tension the movie is is her plan gonna succeed and is the arms dealer who

00:17:24.860 does kill people going to kill her does he have a massive organization no the

00:17:28.740 operations like a dude and a half is there like tension no she seems to have

00:17:33.200 him under her thumb like within the first 20 minutes of the movie so it's just

00:17:36.260 characters doing things and also I think this is the funny thing and I'm

00:17:39.500 realizing it now it's that she has we don't know why she needs this money 1.00

00:17:43.760 really I said she got busted doing something earlier in life has never

00:17:48.320 been able to make a successful career of anything else and so she's in her 40s

00:17:51.740 doing a job that a woman 20 years her junior could do for the same pay 1.00

00:17:55.380 absolutely but I'm saying it's not because she needs to support her family

00:17:59.300 no she has no family she needs to pay off all of these bills that you know she just 1.00

00:18:03.480 reads a crummy life just a crummy line a terrible line just like a mediocre existence

00:18:08.060 that's whatever and she doesn't want that to be the case so plan to steal and 0.99

00:18:14.000 is Samuel L Jackson like super intimidating I mean there's one moment

00:18:18.200 the movie where he might kill her and then he doesn't and that's the first 20

00:18:21.680 minutes and so then he's kind of under her thumb throughout the rest of it

00:18:24.720 Samuel L Jackson does a great job by the way he's always great everything he's in

00:18:28.340 he's great in everything but his role in Tarantino movies he is much of the time

00:18:33.260 the best most compelling actor on the screen the problem is that he is given a

00:18:37.880 lot of opportunity to act but no story for it to matter in yeah also is his

00:18:43.220 fashion sense in this movie was an assault upon the eyes like if I think it

00:18:47.220 was fun look up Samuel L Jackson like scenes from this movie he's got the

00:18:51.200 ponytail he's got a chin like little brain a little rat tail he dresses like a 0.53

00:18:58.040 weird early 2000s golfer like yeah it's an odd it's amazing it's terrible so one

00:19:03.260 thing I'll say is that what I felt about this movie was that it was like taking

00:19:07.800 the Tarantino out of a turn there was no Tarantino isms in this right out of a

00:19:12.220 Tarantino movie so we still had it's well it still had the feet car conversation

00:19:17.900 head trunk shot still had the trunk shot it still had the long conversations that

00:19:23.440 don't really give a great plot but then it didn't have any of the fun stuff that you

00:19:26.160 remember so in all the other movies you leave with oh I remember this really

00:19:30.240 in like expressive part didn't happen in Jackie Brown not memorable we're

00:19:37.500 getting good at finishing time yeah I mean all I wanted to say was it was too

00:19:41.880 much movie for too little story yeah and it's just just diluting it sorry I'm

00:19:46.660 going over the time and it's just that it's like the equivalent of me doing this

00:19:53.320 right now if I could say something in ten words and add a little bit extra on in

00:19:59.500 terms of content over the course of a hundred words the lack of like you know

00:20:03.760 efficiency to saying it dilutes everything and makes it feel nothing it's

00:20:07.960 like when you say a point and you just keep going on like right now like what I'm

00:20:11.100 doing right here that's this movie just all the way through that's why there's no

00:20:14.200 tension just seen and it just kept happening okay next up we have two

00:20:20.620 thousand threes Kill Bill a volume one yep that's the one okay set up for this

00:20:26.920 movie so this one is a friend had said it to me in terms of this is like

00:20:33.280 Tarantino's version of a samurai movie where's the second one is like

00:20:37.240 Tarantino's version of a Western in some ways but basic plot there was a woman 0.98

00:20:41.620 played by Uma Thurman called the bride who was a member the top female member 0.76

00:20:46.720 of the deadly Viper assassination squad top assassin squad she wants to leave

00:20:52.600 them because she was pregnant and they don't take it well and they kill her and

00:20:57.460 massacre everyone else who's at the church where she's gonna get shotgun 1.00

00:20:59.860 married to like some poor rube and she falls into coma she wakes up and then she's 1.00

00:21:05.620 gonna kill Bill and get her revenge and the basic premise of the movie is she's 0.91

00:21:10.960 woken up she's getting things together and then she goes on the hunt to hunt 0.76

00:21:14.620 down the first of the set of members of the Deadly Viper assassination squad who

00:21:19.000 betrayed her and then the second movie is her finishing the job yeah and so now

00:21:23.380 we're going to start the clock now okay so Kill Bill I actually liked this one yes

00:21:31.780 this is the first Tarantino movie that we enjoyed enough Wawa Greg oh yeah okay yeah

00:21:37.640 that was an experience we had fun at the movies watching this it was not a great

00:21:41.780 movie but it was okay yeah you know he had he had a story he felt okay with the

00:21:48.260 pacing it didn't feel like there were a lot of these long drawn-out

00:21:50.780 conversations that I'm not a huge fan of and he had kind of honed his style okay

00:21:55.380 well I wouldn't say honed his style I would say here for once the artistic

00:21:59.880 objective he was accomplishing of just a straight-up revenge story was so focused

00:22:05.240 because his characters couldn't have long indulgent like friend conversations

00:22:08.480 with each other in the same way that he couldn't do his natural impulse of have

00:22:12.560 people spend so much on-screen time doing nothing right because the latter

00:22:16.160 movies that we're gonna review sorry for you all the latter movies that we're

00:22:19.820 gonna do he goes right back to and I sold you on this as an action movie so

00:22:23.900 let's spend 50 minutes unbroken of boring conversation you won't remember ha ha

00:22:27.240 yeah this was not that and I liked that he what I mean by honed really is more

00:22:32.060 just that he figured out what his style was and it worked with what this film

00:22:36.020 was trying to do I think in a lot of ways

00:22:37.820 well disagree agree disagree that he has now figured out a style I think he did

00:22:43.580 that in Pulp Fiction I think he was he was Tarantino as Tarantino's gonna be

00:22:48.180 then I think here it's just that he picked something that it worked well with

00:22:53.240 and couldn't fit in and accommodate his vices which are terrible of the long

00:22:58.120 indulgent conversation we don't care about in the lack of characters here because it had

00:23:01.880 to be keep going he was reined in yes and I think that the thing that makes it

00:23:05.960 work for me and the thing that gives it tension is the fact that he made it so

00:23:11.420 the bride lost her baby I think that's what gave it the pull and the push to do

00:23:15.820 vengeance instead of just you tried to kill me and it's a little bit more

00:23:19.100 straightforward if it's you tried to kill me and now I want to take revenge 0.97

00:23:21.560 it comes across as selfish if it's just about you getting revenge because you're an 1.00

00:23:25.900 assassin garbage person who murders people and so who cares if your 1.00

00:23:29.900 assassin friends try to kill you whereas if you lost the baby and they were that 1.00

00:23:33.400 brutal and they knew you had it and they killed you anyway or tried to oh well 1.00

00:23:37.400 they're worse than you yes so you have a right to mama bear at them with a katana 0.98

00:23:41.840 and it's exciting it's like oh great like we're rooting for you cuz and I'll give

00:23:46.100 credit to Uma Thurman cuz she's the emotional core of the movie and for once

00:23:50.340 the first time market there was an emotional core that we would care about to a

00:23:55.400 Tarantino actually cared we care what's trying to get revenge and you said you

00:24:00.860 weren't the biggest fan of Uma Thurman's acting in general that you don't have the

00:24:03.640 best impression of like her as an actress I I mean I don't remember her from too

00:24:07.320 much it's like Tilda Swinton I remember and don't remember her from anywhere also

00:24:11.240 they come across very similarly to me interesting they're like that's kind of

00:24:14.520 funny Tilda Swinton is in my opinion sorry if this is very important Nordic ice ice 1.00

00:24:18.920 I would say Uma Thurman is not that regardless here Uma Thurman did a great

00:24:25.680 job across both movies but we'll talk about Kill Bill 2 for the next one here

00:24:30.200 she did a great job just selling the rage and the energy and kind of like the 1.00

00:24:34.340 coolness and confidence of being the top assassin but not in too cartoony a way

00:24:38.680 even though her demonstration of being the top assassin is a cartoony nonsense

00:24:43.240 fight I will say I like the idea that it worked in this movie for it to be

00:24:47.420 cartoony because Tarantino leaned into the cartooniness of everything and he

00:24:52.280 did the Tarantino indulgence for that big fight for the actual yeah so the the

00:24:56.660 negatives of this movie were two things for me that went on too long because I

00:25:00.080 think that Tarantino's not good at editing himself one is the cartoon

00:25:04.540 sequence anime sequence the anime sequence Oren Ishi's background story how long that was

00:25:09.680 and then the actual fight was way too long in my opinion the big fight at the

00:25:15.060 restaurant against the crazy 88 that just kept on going yeah and so I'm a big fan

00:25:21.540 of action movies got Abigail into them a little bit and so there's this

00:25:25.380 Indonesian movie the raid has a sequel that's amazing action sequences because

00:25:29.820 everyone can do choreography and fight here not so so it's like oh it's

00:25:34.860 audacious it's exaggerated so much limb chopping and blood everywhere but it's not

00:25:39.120 like what the physical movements we're seeing are that core interesting it's a

00:25:42.360 lot of choppy fast it was very long I think the thing for me is you can do a

00:25:49.020 long fight scene if you still aren't sure that the good guy is gonna win so

00:25:54.000 constantly you're like building the tension of oh they're gonna get to the

00:25:57.300 point where maybe they're gonna lose once she starts fighting the 88 and 0.99

00:26:00.600 she's winning everything you're like okay now this is just 45 minutes of her

00:26:03.820 winning everything yeah and the spectacle isn't that interesting because it's

00:26:06.400 smack smack sword cut or just oh guy tries to do something cut it's not like

00:26:11.580 physically impressive or interesting to watch and so it falls by okay okay nine

00:26:16.720 also there's the problem you're only as good as your villain over and he she's

00:26:20.000 like the one she's hunting down and then I'm gonna go box boring there's like no

00:26:23.980 character to them you need your villains characterized the sequel is much

00:26:27.040 better in that regard my little extra thing for Kill Bill is just that I would

00:26:31.200 recommend it and I think it's fun especially with the next movie together

00:26:34.680 I think they're a fun evening and it's not like super deep or anything but it

00:26:40.860 is well done fun to watch yeah I would recommend it oh that's it
