Kill Bill 1 and 2 is a martial arts/action film directed by Quentin Tarantino, telling the story of Beatrix Kiddo, a former assassin who seeks revenge on a group of assassins called the “Deadly Viper Assassination Squad”. The two films are different from one another, with the first being centered around fast-paced action, stylized violence, and cinematography. The first film draws from martial arts films, anime, and samurai. Kill Bill 2 is more narrative-focused, paying more attention to character development, dialogue, and resolution between the characters. Kill Bill 2 draws from more Western films.

Both 1 and 2 use the themes of revenage, identity, and justice. As the main character gets closer and closer to her revenge, the journey becomes more about her trying to reclaim control over her whole life instead of seeking revenge so much. These two films really show how creative Tarantino is, and it is a movie that Tarantino was born to make. Upon release, it was his most ambitious movie, and it delivers

Jackie Brown vs Kill Bill 1&2

In the past movies, they were very similar to one another. Now, Kill Bill being very ambitious compared to the slow storytelling of Jackie Brown to instenful Kill Bill is a big change. So to say that these two movies are similar is not a great comparison.

As said before, Jackie Brown is more grounded and realistic, focusing on subtle tension, character development, and emotional restraint rather than the visual chaos that happens in Kill Bill

Kill Bill relies on the choreographed violence and beautiful visuals to tell the story. With very few dialogue moments compared to Jackie Brown, Kill Bill is able to capture its story much differently than Jackie Brown
