Ensemble cast. Interesting facts

If the Bride-Beatrix Quentin Tarantino didn't see anyone else but his Muse uma Thurman, where he was invited to play in the film in the thirties the day of her birth, the role of the main antagonist bill was discussed the candidacy of Kevin costner and Warren Beatty. As a result of his played by the charismatic David Carradine.

Actor Michael Parkis, embodied on the screen of Earl McGraw (Sheriff), if moved to the set "From dusk till dawn", because its hero Texas Ranger movie Tarantino in 1996's name was exactly the same.

Initially, the Director planned to attract to the work on the project three actors of different nationalities, as if each representing their country: China - ja Hui Liu, Japan - Sonny Chiba, America - David Carradine. According to the legends of the world of directing, if would be alive the legendary Bruce Lee, he would have done everything possible and impossible that he took part in his film.

One of the favorite paintings of the show is “battle Royale" (2000), therefore, Quentin insisted on participating in his project to Kuriyama Chiaki, who played Gogo Yubari. Actress “paid” the Director. While shooting one of the episodes with her participation, accidentally got behind the camera Tarantino in the head with a metal ball on a chain.

In the role of O-Ren Ishii, the Director originally saw only a Japanese actress, but almost the first day of casting drew attention to the game of the actress Lucy Liu in the film “Shanghai noon". He was so fascinated by it that immediately changed the nationality of its heroine, inviting without casting the role of O-Ren Lucy.

Fireworks

If you are particularly skeptical critics were able to find some projects K. Tarantino bushing or unstressed moments, the “Kill bill” the Director, whose name is known to every kinoguitan, provides this kind of chance. The development of the narrative action of the film is similar with magnificent fireworks in which there are no pauses. Since the fight of the heroines of the picture on pans and knives until the climax of the fight, the viewer is not able to take a breath. However, even among such a relentless feast for the eyes is one scene – an epic battle with the Bride «88 mad” that represents not only the culmination, but also a reduced copy of the picture itself, manifest, stamped up to 7 minutes. The film “Kill bill” often sounding deliberately renders his work called “bloodbath”. Blood literally fills the pools, splashing fountain head languidly down the glass of the camera lens.

Almost no dialogue

To my fourth author's project Director is “Kill bill” began in the position of a live film classics. Therefore, in a prolonged climactic scene it was like once again wanting to demonstrate zealousthe followers of his power, Tarantino premeditated bound at the legs and arms. For a start the Director refuses significant force movie-dialogues. Seven minutes of characters present in the frame communicate with each other only through battle cries of “Kiya!”. After American Director “Kill bill” removes color, leaving a b/W image (in the color look on this scene unmoved beheld only the Japanese), and after that all the light, leaving the viewer to watch the dancers in a deadly duel with the shadows. This is the Director's course has been recognized by leading critics as the most interesting point in the picture and ingenious solution.

Range of attractions

However, the climactic scene was only the final act in a wide range of stunning attractions of the film. Quentin Tarantino used the breadth of his Director's soul. Among the main pieces of work: shooting in first person like a computer game, lifting the fragile heroine over the head pierced by the sword of the enemy, cut the same man's sword in half. All these episodes have allowed the film critics and ordinary viewers can argue about the sense of measure and good taste Tarantino.

No one before the cult of the Director not been so gracefully and at the same time shamelessly to combine Japanese and Chinese. For it immediately after painting many fans of Eastern cinema seriously ganged up on the barbarian-American. Frivolous treatment of the Eastern traditions many called outright rudeness, perhaps it was, but rudeness it was elegant from the world of the hooligan performances and art galleries.
