Kill Jill

Yes, the title is in reference not only to the fact that Quentin Tarentino's movies are heavily based off Leone's, but also to the fact that people wanted to kill Jill. I know I'm rather punny. There goes another one. But anyways getting down to business, I rather liked the aforementioned director Sergio Leone. Interestingly enough I can actually relate this movie to the other aforementioned movie Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2. Sadly enough I don't fully comprehend the complexities of either Once Upon a Time in the West or Kill Bill. From what I do understand both Harmonica and The Bride, as Uma Thurman's character are often referred to, throughout the entire flick are each following the road to their arch nemeses. Which they succeed in killing both in dramatic ways, with a shootout and my personal favorite the Five-Point Exploding Heart Technique.

Also similar in each of the films is the directors use of motif when bringing in a character, like Harmonica and Jill, who have songs that play. In Kill Bill Oren Ishi, has special music when she enters a room as well. They also do lots of close shots on the characters. If this Evidence isn't enough to prove obvious similarities Tarantino is even quoted as saying, "Oh yeah, initially I was thinking this would be my Dollars Trilogy. I was going to do a new one every ten years. But I need at least fifteen years before I do this again" (Entertainment Weekly).
