Cristi_Ciopron Review of The Making of 'Kill Bill'

The Making of 'Kill Bill' (2003 TV Movie)

Parody, deconstruction, ingenuity

[11 August 2008]

QT is one of those few still able to use cinema as a toy; he uses this paradox—he makes self—conscientious films that are meant as wry homage to flicks whose only merit came from their ingenuity and innocence. You can play at being Joyce, you can not play at being Homer. The films QT pastiches were charming firstly because of their genuine innocence—this is the main thing lost in QT's movies. A bard can not be primarily an _ironist. It takes ingenuity.

Are any of his movies serious in the least, or semi-serious, or straight? Are they parody, deconstruction?

I thought "Bill" will be a deconstruction, a parody; it is not.I enjoyed this.
