Postmodern relations to Kill Bill

  1. The film is an example of bricolage, it has a non linear plot. Their aesthetic is fragmented, it has a aleatory of: live action colour, black and white, animation, music and scenery (Japan in contrast with America). The amount of schizoid disconnects us from reality, so when there’s so much blood we aren’t really fazed by it or when the top of O-Ren Ishii’s head is slice we know nothing is real, reality is so ridiculed it’d be hard to associate this with real life.  
  2. The film draws attention to its own artificiality - it’s pastiche collage, the unrealistic flying about in the Japanese fight scene, the music used doesn’t reflect the images being displayed, you would expect to hear Japanese music that makes you think Samurai in a Japanese Samurai fight - not according to Tarantino. 
  3. He is challenges traditional ideas and ways of film making, with Kill Bill he’s made a film to entertain rather than tell a story. The reality of the film’s world and characters challenges our own ideals.
  4. The superficiality of the film, in addition to scenery, the props used in the film contribute to postmodernism aspects such as the “Pussy Wagon” features crude language redefined by postmodern era, also colloquial swearing is spoken throughout the film.
  5. It’s eclectic nostalgia, this film is based on what has gone before as he looks back on different past times and cultures, reassembling them in a mixed timeline. It’s obvious Kill Bill’s story is fabulation.
