This movie is not for the weak-hearted, and by weak-hearted I do not mean those who can not stand to watch blood and gore alone but all those who with a soft heart and a weak will. Those, who in their lifetime have not had the opportunity to experience the enormous power of revenge and those who have but did not have the stomach to follow through. Kill Bill portrays Beatrix Kiddo (Uma Thurman) as a personification of vengeance. It is about a not-so righteous woman who is wronged beyond all contemplateable forms of brutality, and her iron-willed resolve to avenge herself. The movie in two volumes emulates in a very requisite detail this woman's satiating odyssey from comatose to restitution. It may outwardly appear that the movie lacks a certain corporeal reality but what it lacks in tangibility, it more than makes up for in a magnificent delineation of a single emotion - vengeance.
It will not take a genius to foresee that this movie may not make it to the all-time favourites list of the romantics, and with all due respect, it will be nothing less than sheer iniquity to attach even a shred of credibility to a critique of this movie coming from those idealizing love or forgiveness. This said, it is surmised that a substantiation of the above is in order. These views are not the outpourings of an embittered heart or soul nor are written in fits of anger. Nevertheless these do belong to a mind prejudiced towards the superiority of anger and revenge over all other faculties of human feelings. And to honour parity, it will be equally unfair to consider the views of the author of this review on movies portraying love and forgiveness on a equal or more powerful standing. It is, by this exposition, not hoped that those who have detested the movie because of its theme shall begin to appreciate it. And even though, the sole aim of this review could be construed as a one-sided appreciation for a gory movie further ensanguined with revenge, it is heartily expected that those who have at least once wielded the weapon of vengeance shall find it an exhilarating (though vicarious) experience.
