So, which "R" you filled with?

When it comes down to movies about lying, the first one that comes to mind is unquestionably Kill Bill series.

The way I see it, along with the famous pub scene from Inglourious Basterds, Kill Bill is probably the last properly made and positively acclaimed movie directed by Quentin Tarantino. Yep, I am going out on a limb by saying that he's a bit long in the tooth and slightly overrated. Of course, so many scenes and shots can be interpreted as totally characteristic for him. For example a classic Tarantino scene goes like this: An epic fight full of hatred, violence and gore is soon stopped because of a friendly coffee break. The fact of the matter is that he is highly influenced by other directors. Enormously I should say.

However, the whole film is piled up with machination and lies. All this is caused by individual diversity of villains and bad guys. They suffer from disunity and are eventually under fire from own ranks. The plotline is all about setting out for payback and revenge.

It's the final countdown!

4 biggest lies in the story of Beatrix Kiddo

1) The Black Mamba is dead
People and even zombies would not survive a headshot, but Beatrix Kiddo is clearly a different breed. A coma, the Pussy Wagon, wickle your big toe and here we go again! But Bill does not have a clue.

2) The baby is dead
Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. It stands to reason that even Kiddo's fetus can survive anything by any means necessary! But Kiddo does not have a clue.

3) The guy from Okinawa will never make Japanese steel
Poor Hattori Hanzo. That blonde American woman moves insolently into his apartment and forces him to break his promise. Shame on you, Hattori! But Bill and the rest of his crew do not have a clue.

4) Just an ordinary suitcase full of money
Little blonde sister Elle Driver... She did not think this through. One of the most venomous snakes in the world has nothing to do in your baggage.  As for credulous Budd, this is rather a dubious pleasure indeed. But he does not have a clue.
