Que viene, que llega… Kill Bill Vol. 2
|
With the dense network of references in “Kill Bill,” Mr. Tarantino is at once playing a game and making a point, demonstrating how Eastern and Western popular culture have so strongly influenced each other over the years that the new style in action filmmaking is an inseparable blend of the two. Just as the Japanese director Akira Kurosawa acknowledged borrowing from John Ford’s American westerns for his 1954 epic “The Seven Samurai,” so did the Italian director Sergio Leone borrow from Kurosawa’s 1961 swordplay film “Yojimbo” for “A Fistful of Dollars,” the film that gave rise to the spaghetti western. “Kill Bill” closes the circle, bringing Asian, European and American influences together into a glorious, crazy, rousing and finally quite poignant meta-movie.
