Quentin Tarantino\u2019s <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kill Bill<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> might have been shocking then, but \u2014 arguably in light of recent events surrounding the #MeToo controversy \u2014 it is even more so today.

If that wasn\u2019t enough,<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Kill Bill <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">made headlines earlier this year also when Thurman opened up about an incident that had happened on set. For one of the final scenes, Tarantino insisted that Thurman drive a rickety car down a dirt road that hadn\u2019t been test-driven.

In this sense, the movie stands up like tempered steel \u2014 if Uma Thurman\u2019s yellow motorcycle suit and katana appeared iconic in 2003, now we recognize them as Hollywood canon, seared into the mind\u2019s eye of a whole generation of moviegoers. The same goes for the fight sequences, especially the go-for-broke melee between The Bride and dozens of Yakuza swordsmen; the scene is wild the first time you see it, but is as equally as electrifying on the second, third, and tenth watch. <\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":71098,"id":71098,"title":"Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large","filename":"Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","filesize":99220,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kill-bill-anniversary\/kill_bill_volume_1-499717086-large\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"\"Kill Bill Vol 1\" (2003), A Band Apart.","name":"kill_bill_volume_1-499717086-large","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":71092,"date":"2018-10-10 10:24:11","modified":"2018-10-10 14:53:17","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1600,"height":900,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":72,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","medium-width":1600,"medium-height":900,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","medium_large-width":1600,"medium_large-height":900,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","large-width":1600,"large-height":900,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","1536x1536-width":1536,"1536x1536-height":864,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","2048x2048-width":1600,"2048x2048-height":900,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":10,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/Kill_Bill_Volume_1-499717086-large.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1600,"wpvr_mobile-height":900}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although the legacy of Thurman\u2019s and Tarantino&#8217;s professional relationship has been tainted in light of Thurman\u2019s revelations, their relationship is still one of the great actor-director partnerships in cinema history. Part of the reason why <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Kill Bill <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">was such a cinematic success is that it was made collaboratively \u2014 both Tarantino and Thurman gave a lot of themselves in the process. Tarantino insisted on the main role going to Thurman, delaying production for months while she was pregnant with her second child; meanwhile Thurman let Tarantino stay at her house while he worked on the script. She went through intense physical training to prepare for the role, and of course, saw the film through the end of production despite the pair\u2019s falling out following her car crash.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">All of which makes for a blistering hundred-minute ride from that dusty chapel on the border of Mexico to the snow-covered Tokyo shrine. And even though relatively little really <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">happens<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> narratively speaking \u2014The Bride gets shot, she wakes up, she gets a sword, she uses the sword to chop people up \u2014 the movie hooks you in and holds you. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Still, it\u2019s hard to say, even \u2014 or especially \u2014 now, what can be excused as creative friction, what crossed the line, and how any of it should impact on the experience of watching the movie today, knowing what we now do. If Weinstein and the car crash weren&#8217;t enough,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">it recently emerged that Tarantino spat on Thurman\u2019s face for one of the scenes and choked her with a chain in another. Both director and star have made it clear that this was well within the bounds of what they agreed on; Tarantino has said that Thurman was actually the one who suggested the chain. But, yet again there is a mirroring effect \u2014 a sense of porousness in the boundary between the fiction of the movie itself and the facts of how it was created. <\/span><\/p>\n"},{"acf_fc_layout":"images","gallery":[{"ID":71117,"id":71117,"title":"tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280","filename":"tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","filesize":218330,"url":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","link":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kill-bill-anniversary\/tumblr_ntedlbnomu1ubc3b0o1_1280\/","alt":"","author":"1","description":"","caption":"\"Kill Bill Vol 1\" (2003), A Band Apart.","name":"tumblr_ntedlbnomu1ubc3b0o1_1280","status":"inherit","uploaded_to":71092,"date":"2018-10-10 15:23:09","modified":"2018-10-10 15:23:39","menu_order":0,"mime_type":"image\/jpeg","type":"image","subtype":"jpeg","icon":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-includes\/images\/media\/default.png","width":1109,"height":710,"sizes":{"thumbnail":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","thumbnail-width":128,"thumbnail-height":82,"medium":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","medium-width":1109,"medium-height":710,"medium_large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","medium_large-width":1109,"medium_large-height":710,"large":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","large-width":1109,"large-height":710,"1536x1536":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","1536x1536-width":1109,"1536x1536-height":710,"2048x2048":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","2048x2048-width":1109,"2048x2048-height":710,"trp-custom-language-flag":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","trp-custom-language-flag-width":18,"trp-custom-language-flag-height":12,"wpvr_mobile":"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/10\/tumblr_ntedlbnoMu1ubc3b0o1_1280.jpg","wpvr_mobile-width":1109,"wpvr_mobile-height":710}}],"settings":{"fit_width":"10","caption":""}},{"acf_fc_layout":"text_area","text_area":"<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">15 years on, there are still scenes <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">that make me squeamish, but not because of the blood and guts.

Its plot about a woman exerting revenge on a man, who violently attacked her, is darkly timely in the #MeToo era, even more so at time when a man accused of assault can take the highest seat in the American judicial system. The Bride becomes a locum for all of our anger in a way, a woman hellbent on inflicting pain on the man who did the same to her. But if we\u2019ve learned anything in the 15 years since the release of <em>Kill Bill<\/em>, it\u2019s that violence never really solves anything \u2014 but that justice must still be served. <\/span><\/p>\n"}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Here\u2019s what we learned from re-watching &quot;Kill Bill&quot; 15 years on Here\u2019s what we learned from re-watching &quot;Kill Bill&quot; 15 years on<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kill-bill-anniversary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"de_DE\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Here\u2019s what we learned from re-watching &quot;Kill Bill&quot; 15 years on Here\u2019s what we learned from re-watching &quot;Kill Bill&quot; 15 years on\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/de\/article\/kill-bill-anniversary\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Sleek Magazine\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/sleekmag\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2018-10-10T15:12:22+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2018-10-11T14:32:52+00:00\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:creator\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:site\" content=\"@sleekmag\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Verfasst von\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Moses Hubbard\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.sleek-mag.com\/\",\"name\":\"Sleek Magazine\",\"description\":\"Sleek is Germany\u2019s leading independent media house\/brand for creativity and innovation located in Berlin the creative capital of the world.
