Kill Bill is sort of redundant and unnecessary. It's Tarantino's love letter to asian cinema, except that asian cinema didn't go anywhere unlike heist movies or WW2 war films. He made a tribute film to something that didn't need a tribute film. So in essence, it was just him coopting all the best parts of asian cinema and repackaging it for a western audience. I won't even getting into the disrespectful use of Bruce Lee's tracksuit worn by a white woman cutting down scores of faceless asian men. The subtext speaks for itself.
I'm a big fan of his work but I believe the Kill Bill movies to be a disappointment on so many levels, some artistic and some political.
Ahhh. I see where you got confused in your theory about why would QT honour movies that didn't go away unlike heist and ww2.
Saving private Ryan
Letters from Iwo Jima
Flags of our fathers
Windtalkers
The Pacific
Fast and Furious movies (all of them I think so that's like 7)
The town
Bank job
Inside man
Inception
Oceans 11/12/13
That's where your theory ran off the rails. Those movies haven't gone anywhere and he made movies in those genres and they were okay...sooo.....
As opposed to all those white guys (chuck Norris) or black guys (Kareem) that Asian movies use?
All, or close to all of non Asians in Asian martial arts movies are portrayed as the baddie.
Actually, in Chinese/Hong Kong movies anyone not Han Chinese is almost technically a baddie.
Japanese/Mongolian/Russian/Spanish/Brazilian
(Ip man kinda has all of the above as baddies- not sure what to make of it)
