Tale of a tale
Watched a much heard-about movie yesterday, "Kill Bill". i heard it being announced about an hour before its screening on a TV channel, and i was looking forward to seeing it, because a couple of my football club mates had been raving about the movie, as was my friend in Switzerland, who i feel is a big fan of the movie. i wasn't prepared at all for what unfolded. i had imagined there would some violence, but not to the degree that the movie actually potrayed. Perhaps the movie should have been called "Will Kill". Sure, the action scenes were slick, but i ask, if the same panache in action had been present in a bollywood movie, would the same Indians raving about "Kill Bill", have appreciated it? They would have laughed off the fight scene in that Japanese hotel as unrealistic. Every other movie in bollywood (atleast earlier on) had a chap killing many more oftener. Rajnikant built a career doing the impossible, things like this were like having idli-dosa for him, i think. No disrespect meant to anyone. i think the fact that it is a lady doing this is what has captured the imagination of the masses. The part i liked best about the movie was the music, right from the "Bang Bang" tune. i believe the film itself has been "inspired"/inspired (i think it is inspired, not "inspired") by many other movies, comprehensive information can be found here.
