Film: Kill Bill Vol 1 (2003)
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Synopsis: Kill Bill is a revenge drama that follows the character of The Bride (Uma Thurman) as she takes steps to enact revenge upon the former members of a gang that killed her entire wedding party and tried to kill her during her wedding rehearsal. The scene I selected is the scene in which The Bride confronts one of her attempted murderers–a former gang member named Copperhead, played by Vivica A Fox.
Characters: The Bride–attempted murder victim bent on revenge. Copperhead–former gang member who assisted in the mass murder of The Bride’s wedding party and the attempted murder of The Bride herself.
Rationale: I chose this film because of the rich cinematic value (Tarantino being such a cinephile), and because of the easily identifiable tropes contained within the scene. Tarantino is a fan of diverse, recognizable angles and forms of lighting, and many of those are evident within this scene.
