Tarantino's camera work on the Kill Bill films

[Road Warrior]

I've always liked Tarantino's camera work, but in the films prior to Kill Bill it was more traditional. If that is the best description. In Kill Bill, however, the camera work is much more creative. I like it. Tarantino has gotten better, I think, from a visual sense.

Easily one of the best filmakers of our generation. KB1&2 are mightier than Excalibur and his lowest point is 'Jackie Brown' which is still umpteenth times better than most films. He is tops.

QT FTW !

Okay

yea tarantino is quite the director/writer. i love his work on pulp fiction, to this day it remains one of my top fave movies. i also love 4 rooms, it was funny and sick. (lol the dead hooker in the kids bed)

im also lookin forward to grind house, those 2 short films look insane!

With Kill Bill, he was attempting to recreate the visual style of both classic kung fu movies, 70's trash cinema, and also comicbooks (yes indeed - he himself has stated that Kill Billis his comicbook movie).

I applaud you, Kevin! You are the first person to stay on subject! Well, anyway, I guess what you said is true! I wonder what type of camera work he'll have in Grindhouse.

It's one of the reasons I like Kill Bill so much.
He holds the camera still, and actually tries to get the punch in the screen.

Well, Robert Rodriguez is doing the cinematography, according to IMDb.

Rodriguez is a good cinematographer, so it should be good.

Unlike Batman Begins!

Actually, i found the camera work to fit the character of Batman.
It was fast and frenetic, the way it would feel if you were attacked by him.

 

[Catman]

But, the fight scenes sucked! You couldn't even tell what was going on? It would have been alright if he would have balanced things out, but every fight scene was like that.

You can tell he used the kung fu and 70s film style. It helped the film alot and was a lot of fun to see.

Yeah, there's a lot of scenes (especially in Kill Bill 2) where he pays tribute to old films with the camera work. But, there was a couple of scenes that featured camera work that were too modern to be any kind of a homage. So, I guess, in a way he did get more creative.

He did get creative in the way it looked. Many moments felt like westerns or from samurai films. He applied his own style which is what any director would do.
