Kill Bill: What Made Bill Such a Terrifying Villain

In the Quentin Tarantino movies Kill Bill: Volume 1 and Kill Bill: Volume 2, Bill is set up as a master assassin who has unlimited skill and cruelty. But while the audience is clearly told that, we don't actually see Bill until the second movie. In the first film, we see only his hands as they carry out increasingly evil deeds. When his face is revealed in Volume 2, he comes across as nothing that we expect. Yet the audience knows what he has done, and that makes his appearance even more chilling because he could be anyone we encounter on the street. Nergstalgic takes a deep dive into the deliberate filmmaking steps Tarantino took to make Bill a person who supremely needed to be killed. (via Digg)
