Thanks for the memories!

It's hard to see any effort in the film. There's no comedy to speak of, no real drama and, worst of all.

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

I enjoyed watching this film and would recommend other to give it a try , (as I am) but this movie, although enjoyable to watch due to the better than average acting fails to add anything new to its storyline that is all too familiar to these types of movies.

This is a documentary found on the DVD of Kill Bill Vol. 1. It consists of interviews, behind the scenes footage and clips of the movie(typically the most bad-ass ones). Yes, the main focus here was definitely to hype the film, and some effort is made to ensure that the audience does not forget that this is an *action* piece. Nevertheless, it's plenty worth watching. The actors mainly talk about how it was to work with Quentin, and how much influence they got to have and so on, save for Uma, who tells the story of how she and he together came up with the idea and developed it. His inspirations and where certain things that are memorable, at times unforgettable, in the finished product, came from originally are divulged. Tarantino is, as always, an awful lot of fun to listen to, and his love for the craft, and excitement at getting to work on more of his favorite genres, shine through. This is just under 21 minutes long, and it's not boring. The pacing is fine. Editing is average and unsurprising. This is reasonable, overall. I recommend this to fans. 7/10

QT is one of those few still able to use cinema as a toy; he uses this paradox—he makes self—conscientious films that are meant as wry homage to flicks whose only merit came from their ingenuity and innocence. You can play at being Joyce, you can not play at being Homer. The films QT pastiches were charming firstly because of their genuine innocence—this is the main thing lost in QT's movies. A bard can not be primarily an _ironist. It takes ingenuity.Are any of his movies serious in the least, or semi-serious, or straight? Are they parody, deconstruction?I thought "Bill" will be a deconstruction, a parody; it is not.I enjoyed this.

The Making of 'Kill Bill' is a 22 minute long documentary that is found on just about every Kill Bill: Vol. 1 DVD ever released anywhere so it's not hard to find & it was made for TV so I'd imagine a lot of people saw it that way.This was obviously made before the films were released & is nothing more than a dull promotional piece that aired on TV to generate interest, there's nothing of any great surprise here.A few of the cast say how good it was working with Quentin Tarantino & the man himself speaks about the films origins & the ideas behind it. He talks a little about the music including a long dull anecdote & where the film was shot.The action & martial arts scenes barely get a mention, there's no real making of secrets revealed & the gory special effects aren't mentioned once. There's nothing on the films style including the Anime section & generally speaking this is as forgettable as they come. Nothing is said about why they ended up cutting the film in half & you feel most of the participants at the time of the interviews hadn't even seen the finished film yet.As a free extra on a DVD it's good value but as a making of documentary this fails badly, the only interest is seeing a few brief behind the scenes clips & that's really the only thing going for it. A disappointment which tells the viewer virtually nothing about the Making of 'Kill Bill' which I'd hope was the whole point.
