Awesomeness
This movie rocked. Although Uma was stunt doubled, I still liked the theme of an american blond-haired chick taking on the samurai persona. This was defintely the better of the two movies, mostly because this lead to a lot of action at the end... (you could tell it was building to that). Unlike Vol.2 where "story" had to be the most important thing... Puh. Story? Since when is that a concern?? :-P

Is it hereoic and "cool" to slaughter?
What can I say, is this what society has come for? All I see is great reviews about a movie that has a large number of scenes of females being butchered and killed in such cold blood. This is morally disturbing as movies tend to present what the social standards may accept. Is it cool for women to butcher and get butchered this way? Movies are not just movies; they are the images they create. And these images are important because have a certain inner effect on society. Even though women are being portrayed as evil in the movie, it is still not morally acceptable to picture them being butchered and sliced. This is unthinkably annoying and highly unethical. As far as I see from the theme of that movie if a women works of an evil organization, then it is ok to butcher her arm, or her head and hear her scream in pain as she suffers and blood pours out! Can you see how ugly the picture is? And the hero is a cold blooded killer. This is how the hero is portrayed.

My view of women is they are the beautiful image of humanity which is to be cherished, loved, and cared for and they bring joy, progress, and happiness to life. Not the view of brutal slaughtering and dumped as how they are portrayed in the film. It is very disturbing the amount of such violence in movies these days which is highly portrayed in this film.

I know this genre of movie is supposed to show this kind of action and that it is men and women being butchered, not just women. Although not great, we got used to men's violence movies that many of us don't actually get affected by it. However this is a new much more horrible trend which many people dislike and will not get used to. This slautering of young women in cold blood is really terrible and the movie shows with blood spurting from their neck, and arms and stomach ...

My personal opinion is that it is just a very disturbing image to show to a society that has high moral values.

Trite Pretense in Action
I liked Tarantino's Natural Born Killers and Pulp Fiction.

I rented this because it starred Uma Thurman and I love samurai movies.

Too bad this and part 2 are PRETENTIOUS trash. As I watched some scenes unfold, I was actually embarassed for Quentin.
