Analysis Of A Neo Noir film opening.

Kill Bill Volume ONE.

Kill Bill is a two part film, volume one and volume two. It was directed and written by Quentin Tarantino and was released in 2003, the main character is played by Uma Thurman and the character's name is Beatrix. The opening to this film is rather extreme in some ways but I think thats the great thing about it, it pulls the audiences attention straight into the film and makes them want more. We don't know who these people are except in the opening we can tell that the guy talking is called Bill as thats what it says on the hanker cheif he uses to wipe her up says. I would say this is the main prop, because it's lets us in on a little something even though the film hasn't even started yet we know his name is Bill and what he done. The use of the black and white is rather good aswell because it makes the audience think that it's maybe a flash black? It also makes the blood on her skin stand out a lot more and the contrast goes well with the meaning. Another thing that pulls us in is that we don't know who these characters are and we don't not whats going on and even on the last moment where Beatrix says "Bill... It's your baby." The audience now whats to know what going on and has he actully killed her. Tarantino knows how to grab the audiences attention straight away and it works.
