Note de kurthectic
The story of Mickey and Mallory Knox's killing spree remembers me of Bonnie Parker and Clyde Barrow (though my only references are a Serge Gainsbourg's song and a Lois and Clark episode), anyway, the point is that this story, which of course might seem "a little violent" is not so much the main interest of the movie.
When you walk out of the theater (or in my case, turn off the TV), you get the impression that all this violence was meant to shock, that's for certain, but most of all, I believe Oliver Stone used it to show his talent as a director.
The problem is that it's only thing you see. At every shot, the screen changes color, the lenses are different, the quality of the picture, you go from an hallucination shot to an animated one. All this gathered seem to tell the audience "hey look how good a director I am". I kind of had the same feeling watching FF Coppola's Dracula (or is it Bram Stoker's ? I never got to know the real director). But when Quentin Tarantino does it, it looks better: the animated scenes in Kill Bill illustrates an entire story and does not just picture the present state of mind of the hero.
As for the script, though it is told to have been modified from Tarantino's original, I find it rather interesting, especially the criticism over the TV and its permanent lust for ratings. Of course, it's a little too much emphasized but on this point, the direction is coherent with the story.
Eventually, it was brave of Stone to dare shot this script because its overwhelming violence might have frightened a lot of producers. Good call on the Coca-Cola commercial though...

"One more time", I'm gonna try to spread my love for this movie.
This film is magical, the soundtrack is wonderful, you get the feeling you're lifted up in the air, it's like you're "aerodynamic".
The story might seem quite simple, basically it's a "digital love" story where the hero will have to be "harder, better, faster, stronger" in order to rescue the woman of her dream and her music band (the "Crescendolls") from an evil record producer.
The animation by Leiji Matsumoto is just so beautiful; for instance, the "nightvision" you get of the town on Earth (probably inspired by Tokyo) is breathtaking.
But, the real "superheroes" of this movie are the Daft Punk. These guys understood that a good music could lead to an "high life", they know how to move us, how to reveal "something about us". Let them take you on this space journey, whether it's on the "voyager" shuttle or not, you'll find it "veridis quo". It's a "short circuit" (only 68 min, the length of the "Discovery" album) but in the end, when you find "face to face" with yourself, you can only feel like you would want some more, like it could never have been "too long".

Those who loved Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo and those who haven't seen it yet. I loved it...
I believe I'm quite a movie fan and I've always been told it was a shame I didn't see this movie. It's only when I saw it a year ago that I understood why. The broadcast was poor, it was late, dubbed and cut several times by commercials (in France, this is hopefully seldom) but oh my God did I enjoy the film.
Everything in this movie is exciting. As soon as the opening credits begin, you know you're gonna watch a great flick; the acting is marvelous to me: Clint Eastwood represents exactly the cow-boy you always picture in your head when you're a kid but that's precisely because this character has set a landmark in the movie-making history. Eli Wallach and Lee Van Cleef are just as good.
The script is quite different from other westerns too: it's not just about revenge or save a city from bad guys, the story leans over deeper human feelings: greed, friendship, national pride. The characters are far more intricate than in other westerns I've seen, you never know what really motivates them and, which is to me the best: the Good guy isn't always good, the Bad guy isn't as bad as you could imagine, and the Ugly guy might be the most attaching gangster I've known. The dialogs will always be remembered: in this movie, the three guys shoot more with words than with guns and you cannot believe the amount of lines about which you will think "Gosh, I wish I could tell one of these."
The movie might seem a little long but to me, it was worth traveling through the Wild West in the middle of the Civil War considering the last but one scene. The final shooting is so intense, the stake is so high and most of all, for the first time since the beginning of the movie you can really listen to (and not just hear) the incredible score by Ennio Morricone. Besides, I recognized the music from the Kill Bill 2 trailer but it took me a long time to recollect where I heard it before. Anyway, the last half hour of movie is magic and I could watch it in any language, in any conditions and still enjoy it.
If you've not seen this movie yet, watch it as soon as possible, I promise you will love it (or at least you could shine on every one on "how much you didn't like Il Buono, il brutto, il cattivo"). As far as I am concerned, I still wonder how I could live without it.
