Kill Bill – Bang Bang

Kill Bill (Part I to be exact) is one of my all time favourite movies. One of those movies which I can watch again & again.

Above is a hell of a good remix from one of my fav songs from that movie.

Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down) Lyrics

I was five and he was six
We rode on horses made of sticks
He wore black and I wore white
He would always win the fight

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

Seasons came and changed the time
When I grew up, I called him mine
He would always laugh and say
“Remember when we used to play?”

Bang bang, I shot you down
Bang bang, you hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, I used to shoot you down

Music played and people sang
Just for me the church bells rang

Now he’s gone. I don’t know why
And till this day, sometimes I cry
He didn’t even say goodbye
He didn’t take the time to lie

Bang bang, he shot me down
Bang bang, I hit the ground
Bang bang, that awful sound
Bang bang, my baby shot me down

There are some unforgettable quotes from the movie (some of them are used in above remix.)

* I am gonna ask you questions. And every time you don’t give me answers, I’m gonna cut something off. And I promise you, they will be things you will miss.
* It’s mercy, compassion, and forgiveness I lack. Not rationality.
* It was not my intention to do this in front of you. For that, I’m sorry. But you can take my word for it, your mother had it comin’. When you grow up, if you still feel raw about it, I’ll be waiting.
* Just because I have no wish to murder you before the eyes of your daughter does not mean parading her around in front of me is going to inspire sympathy. You and I have unfinished business. And not a goddamn fuckin’ thing you’ve done in the subsequent four years, including getting knocked up, is going to change that.
* Those of you lucky enough to still have your lives, take them with you! But leave the limbs you have lost; they belong to me now. [shouting] Except you, Sofie! You stay right where you are!
* I might never have liked you, point in fact I despised you. But that shouldn’t suggest I don’t respect you.
* Funny. You like Japanese swords, I like baseball.
* As your leader, I encourage you, from time to time and always in a respectful manner, to question my logic. If you’re unconvinced a particular plan of action I’ve decided is the wisest, tell me so! But allow me to convince you. And I promise you, right here and now, no subject will ever be taboo… except, of course, the subject that was just under discussion. The price you pay for bringing up either my Chinese or American heritage as a negative is: I collect your fucking head. [holds up Tanaka’s head] Just like this fucker here. Now, if any of you sons of bitches got [shouting] anything else to say, now’s the fucking time! [pause] I didn’t think so.
* You might not be able to fight like a samurai, but you can at least die like a samurai.
* Budd: [on The Bride] That woman deserves her revenge, and we deserve to die.

PS – you must be awfully disconnected to this world if you dont know what I am talking about.

Kill Bill is the fourth film by writer-director Quentin Tarantino. Originally conceived as one film, it was released in two separate volumes (in Fall 2003 and Spring 2004) due to its running time of approximately four hours. The movie is an epic-length revenge drama, with homages to earlier film genres, such as Hong Kong martial arts movies and Italian Spaghetti Westerns; an extensive use of popular music and pop culture references; and deliberately over-the-top violence.

My ranking for “100 YEARS…100 PASSIONS”

I have taken netflix subscription and I am watching top 100 most romantic movies ever made in hollywood.

Just wanted to make my own ranking of all these movies. So here it is…

1. THE WAY WE WERE (1973)
This is one of my favs till now …. Umm … I dont know what & why liked in the movie. I think casting is great. Barbra Streisand and Robert Redford make a wonderful couple and they do complete justice to the roles. Then the beautiful theme song (which has become one of my favs now). Lastly the ending leaves you with the feeling of “i want more” and you cannot deny also that it is the perfect ending. You have got to see the movie to understand what I am talking about.

2. WEST SIDE STORY (1961)
Again I liked the casting, the characters and I also liked few songs like “America”.

3. GONE WITH THE WIND (1939)
Casting, story and something about the movie which makes it “grand” and “classic”.

4. ROMAN HOLIDAY (1953)
Beautiful story.

5. CASABLANCA (1942)
Very good acting.

6. AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER (1957)
I knew the story already (“Mann” which is a bolly remake of this movie.)

7. DOCTOR ZHIVAGO (1965)
I had pain in my head when the movie finished. I just watched it for the sake of it. I even dont understand what was romantic about the story. I think (and I pray to god) that this should be at the bottom of my list and no future movie should be able to break this record.

Next in line –> IT’S A WONDERFUL LIFE (1946)
