محادثة Kill Bill: Vol. 1

Anyone?

It looked cool as hell how they were filmed sword fighting in that dark room, all those guys around Beatrix and she cleared them out, except for the young kid. Very cool.

But, I haven't settled on a clear-cut logic for the female owner's turning the lights off and back on like that when I watch the film. I mean, did she think it would actually help out The Bride to do that? Did she assume The Bride was so superior a fighter that she could hold her own against those guys in the dark? Weird! (And let's not even get into the topic of how any fighter, no matter how energetic, could carry on a sword fight with all those people for 15 minutes straight.)

Perhaps I've touched on the answer to my own question in this very post--that's how it goes sometimes. At any rate, I just felt like starting a little dialogue about this moment in the film....

Here's a clip on Youtube.

If you're referring to the change at 01:55 just after she pulls the guy's eye out, I don't think it was turning off the lights, I think it was the director switching to black and white for effect/style (and, perhaps, also to reduce the visual impact of all the blood that was a'comin', like the part at 03:00 where she splits a guy in two down the middle from the top of his head).

Watching through this scene, I did not see anyone toggle a light switch off or on, so I hope you don't think my suggestion of what's happening is condescending or anything like that. If there is such a moment that I missed, please point it out to me.

Most films will demand some degree of suspension of belief in order to tell a story. There is not one action movie that does not tell the laws of physics and physiology to burn in hell - I'm so tired of people falling from heights above 10 feet and jumping right back into the action with nary a scratch when falling from that height in real life can fracture a hip or a neck - it's beyond ridiculous. I knew a young man who was playing basketball, went up for a layup, a kid bent over beneath him and he fell on his head. Broken neck. Spent the rest of his short life as a quadriplegic in a wheel chair, defied a lot of odds to live another ten years or so, but, eventually he died. He hadn't jumped more than 3 feet vertically before toppling down.

TL:dr - movies are where Superman flies and time travel plots are a dime a dozen. Fantasy, not reality.

Nah, the light switching is after the part that you provided a link to (and thanks for that, BTW).

Ha ha - the more I think about it here, I do believe I answered my own question. If I stop thinking like a dude for a sec, it makes sense that the other woman felt that the men were no match for Beatrix, so she just hit the switch to help Beatrix "get down" on their asses.

Finally, no, DRD, you did not patronize me.

Okay, I'll have just watch it again. Which ain't so bad, it's a fun movie!

Cheers.
