Kill Bill Vol. 1 rated R for strong bloody violence, language, and some sexual content

Regarding mothers, this is not a film that I personally could put on for my mother.  She doesn't like Tarantino movies and she would be offended by the violence and language. 

 I am a fan of some of Quentin Tarantino's pictures.  When this one came out, my movie snob friend reluctantly decided that, of all the Tarantino films, this would be the first of his that she watched.  She didn't (and still doesn't) like his arrogance.  She's also squeamish when it comes to blood.  She was reassured by the preview that the blood in this picture would be cartoonish as an homage to classic Kung Fu movies.  She also asked me to watch it with her considering that I do like some of Quentin Tarantino's movies.

Uma Thurman plays The Bride in this picture.  But we the audience don't know that at first.  For reasons, Uma Thurman's character's name is bleeped out throughout this film.

Anyway, it turns out that The Bride used to be known as Black Mamba, the deadliest woman in the world.  She was the top assassin of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.  The Deadly Vipers consist of O-Ren Ishii aka Cottonmouth (played by Lucy Liu); Vernita Green aka Copperhead (played by Vivica A. Fox); Elle Driver aka California Mountain Snake (played by Daryl Hannah); and Bill's brother Budd aka Sidewinder (played by Michael Madsen).  Bill aka Snake Charmer (played by David Carradine) was the leader and mentor of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

The Bride is betrayed by and brutally beaten by the rest of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad during what appears to be The Bride's wedding (hence the title of The Bride).  To make matters worse, The Bride was very pregnant when she was nearly beaten to death by the Squad.  When she wakes up from a coma four years later, she is devastated by the loss of her baby.

This film chronicles The Bride's quest for vengeance against the Squad and anyone who would dare to stand in her way.

I loved this film.  I thought and still think that this is another of Quentin Tarantino's great films.  Everything about this film was and still is excellent in my opinion.

My movie snob friend even managed to make it through the whole film.  She was a little green at the end of it but otherwise ok.  As far as I know this film is the first and last Tarantino picture for her.
