Quentin Tarantino - Kill Bill - Part 2


Tarantino Phenomenon

You may enjoy watching Tarantino movies or reject them, but you would not argue that through his works the eccentric movie director has created his own way of world perception.
Tarantino has always frightened movie critics as his movies do not fit any canons and it is impossible to analyze every detail of Tarantino's movies without missing the subtle essence of his creations. Tarantino does not follow any rules or traditions. Tarantino's charismatic personality creates movies that are regularly found among the best motion pictures that have received numerous awards at festivals for the film director's creative approach and artistic vigor, as well as Oscars for the following commercial success.

Tarantino is a real headache for movie providers, producers, rating commissions and festival juries. If he is one of the judges, wait for a great deal of trouble caused by his specific sense of humor and beauty perception.

The Peculiarities of Kill Bill 2

Even if nobody expected anything special from the second part of Kill Bill, Tarantino again managed to surprise everyone. He did not feature any trash styling of westerns or easterns, having left of them the scene of action - El Paso and a few samurai swords. Though, the plot itself has always been maintained - with the vendetta, murderous deeds in the church, gangs with snake nicknames and Uma Thurman as the embodiment of all these. Tarantino changed all other details. Besides fierce lust for taking revenge, the characters revive their memories about the past when they refreshed the even the older memories. They meditate over others' excuses and their own mistakes, so even if they are going to die by the hand of the enemy, it will happen just after thorough psychoanalysis.

The place of the western is taken by white-black classics of 50-s and 60-s - heart-to-heart talking by the fire, prolong meditation by the windows of the enemies' van, burying alive, long monologues in a convertible car. The prolonged bloody cutting with Japanese swords turns into the mixture of truth and philosophical discussion of the characters of American comic books. The high-minded scoundrels of the first part turn into the most dishonorable rascals that they begin to feel aversion for themselves.

However, the majority of viewers of the Kill Bill 2 have enough time to fall in love with every character and then become disillusioned with the same personality while watching how these characters are overwhelmed by self-humiliation, are generous another to offer to choose the best way of dying, play inconceivable tricks and shake from fear and pain.

The most striking peculiarity of the Kill Bill 2 is that every scene radiates unsurpassed tension as a usual conversation may in any instant turn into blood bath, and the viewers get caught by shivering. There is a special Tarantino's thread that leads the viewers to the finale. While some scenes are terribly dragged out, the movie features sudden turning points of the plot. The famous quotations and specially created soundtrack, Tarantino maintains our interest during the entire movie uniting the most common movie clichés and old rock-in-roll tunes with really deep national motives and gives birth to the storm of sincere emotions.

The Kill Bill 2 reflects the peculiar Tarantino style he has often been reproached for, but the one that in fact represents a n effective tool that brought the master a lot of appreciation. The second movie is one more powerful reflection of motion pictures' history in a fabulous mirror.

Anime Final Fantasy - Swords
The defining quality of the Final Fantasy series has always been its storyline. Featuring one of the most complex text-based stories of its time, Final Fantasy outdid the story of Dragon Quest, which featured the traditional plot of saving the Princess from the evil villain. Of course, the complexity of the story was nothing compared to later games, but the ambitious groundwork laid by the young Square.
BLEACH ANIME - SLICING MOON ICHIGO TENSA BANKAI SWORD
The final form of Zangetsu, named tensa Zangetsu (chains of heaven - slicing moon), is considered completely out of the ordinary for any zanpakuto. It consists of an ordinary katana (or a nodachi, as its size is about 175 cm) with a black blade, a handguard in the shape of the manji, which is the kanji for "ban" (full), and a short broken chain dangling as the blade's tassel and replacing the cloth from its released form. In addition to his sword, Ichigo's robe is replaced with a long-sleeved, ankle length black coat with red lining that is closed at his chest.
Anime - Bleach
Hailed at cons as one of the most popular shows of 2004, Bleach has gained massive acclaim in North America, perhaps even moreso than Japan. Based on the manga by Kubo Tite, the show (directed by Abe Noriyuki) tells the story of Kurosaki Ichigo, a high-school student with great spiritual power.
The Mameluke Sword
Originally, Marine Officers could wear swords of any style-as long as they were yellow-mounted. But that changed in 1805, when Lieutenant Presley O’Bannon and his Marines marched across 600 miles of North Africa’s Libyan desert to successfully storm the fortified city of Derna in Tripoli. They were there to put down Barbary Coast pirates taking a toll on American merchant ships in the Mediterranean.
Kadaj's Souba Double Bladed Final Fantasy Sword
This sword is amazing. When you first hold it you will be amazed! While you know better than to strike a tree with it, you will be very tempted. As seen in Advent Children, Kadaj's double bladed Katana is rumored to be another form of Sephiroth's Masamune, thus the blades combine length wise to form the extremely long Masamune (blades don't actually combine on this item).
