What can I say? I'm a hard-core Tarantino fan and Kill Bill Vol. 2 was just as excellent as I thought it would be. Vol. 1 was my favorite film of 2003, and I think that Vol. 2 compliments that film beautifully, while having the substance to be a stand-alone film. The various forms of cinematography that Tarantino employs are just as fun and stunning as Vol. 1, but this time we have a fantastic and hilarious homage to kung fu films of the seventies during The Bride's flashback to her training with Pai Mei, her master. The cinematography/photography was straight from the old Shaw Bros. films, and the slightest details show that QT is a huge fan, and knows some of the audience may be as well.
I can't say I was less entertained during this film as I was during the first, but I was entertained in a different manner. The non-stop action is not here, and the gore is significantly lowered, but the story is excellent and has a heart. Uma Thurman is once again absolutely radiant in this role – the role of The Bride was written for her and partly by her, and she is incredible. I've never been a fan of hers personally, but I really admired her work in this film.
There is just no way to draw a character out of the blue and hope to get the proportions right on the first try. What you need to focus on is finding the circles that make up the shape of the (cartoon) character. Then you can use lines to connect the dots and make up the general shape of the character.
