i saw this in the video store last night and the cover state that this be the movie that influence tarantino kill bill . after watch the film i think that the only way this could have influence tarantino be if he watch it and then say this be terrible and i bet i can do this a million time well and then do it a million time well . i can not believe how high this movie be rat . of course there no accounting for taste and everyone have his or her own opinion but this be not a movie that should be rat 8. negative . i give this movie negative and only because there be bad movie out there . it be clear i do not like this movie . people be talk about great direction and editing and good cinematography technique and stuff like that . they must have see a different movie because i do not see anything like that . in most of the scene the camera be out of focus and the picture be blurry and whenever a handheld camera be use i felt like i be in a boat in the ocean in the middle of a violent storm ( ok i be exaggerate but you get the idea ) . my eye actually hurt at some point . now about the storywarning spoilers the story wasn not bad and especially the whole inner confrontation part and but it still leave a lot to be desire . and the fact that there be some major hole in the script doesn not help either . basically the story go like this . 3 men and a woman murder a young woman husband an then take her and torture and rape her for three day . one of them take the woman with him and after a while she kill him for what he have do to her . she then set out to kill the rest of the gang but be arrest and send to prison . in prison she give birth to a girl and we learn from the start that this girl only exist to avenge her mother . the girl begin train to be able to get revenge and after 20 year she set out to find and kill the 3 remain people that wrong her mother . the first man lady snowblood kill be one of the 3 villain she have devote her life to kill . wait and no and he be just a gang leader whith no connection to the story whatsoever that just happen to be there . a she kill him she say that this be his punishment for the crime he commit against people . so she be a vigilante out to punish criminal . but from that point onward everything we see suggest that her sole purpose be the punishment of the people that wrong her mother . her whole life be devote to this . so her first kill have no purpose and be totally out of place . maybe they just need one more action scene . in search of the villain and she go to a village in order to ask the village head about the whereabouts of the 3 people she be look for . as soon a he say he probably can not help her she start beg ( . ) . ok and maybe this be suppose to show her soft side but and in my opinion and a woman who be portray a a demon and not belong to this world and and have devote her whole life into become a kill machine in order to get her revenge and wouldn not beg in such a manner . anyway and he finally agree to help her . so they find the first of the three and after lady snowblood save his life she kill him herself . he have a daughter who and of course and want revenge too . but this would not be deal with till the very end . then they locate the second villain but lady snowblood find out that he have die and would not be able to kill him herself . she take it out on his grave but this be notice by a man who be there and he start search for her to find out what be this all about . when he confront her it turn out he be the owner of a local newspaper and want to write her story but she tell him to forget it and leave her alone . surprisingly and the next scene show u the newspaper be print with detail of lady snowblood quest . how do he find out . well and he probably read the script . actually people close to the heroine give him the story in order to set a trap for the last remaining villain the woman . they explain to lady snowblood that they know this newspaper man well and trust him . in fact they know him for more than 10 year and yet nobody know that he be the son of the second villain that be suppose to be dead . i guess they know him really well . anyway and the trap work and the woman that they be search for come out of hiding . lady snowblood try to kill her and she escape and and while search for her they find her hanging from the ceiling . so it seem revenge have be exact but soon after we find out that the second villain who be suppose to be dead be actually alive . he go to the newspaper man who turn out to be his son to tell him just that represent that he be alive . well that isn not a big surprise it could not be any other way if lady snowblood be to fulfill her life purpose what be a big surprise be that a man who stag his own death and know there be a woman out to get him just come out of hide to inform a man and who be obviously close to his enemy and that he be alive . he even tell him where he live so that they do not waste time search for him . then we go to the grand finale where the newspaper man sacrifice himself for lady snowblood to kill his father . and a lady snowblood leave the building the first villain daughter appear out of nowhere ( how on earth do she know where to find her . ) and kill her . the end . throughout the movie character which seemingly play a big part in the heroine life just pop up out of nowhere ( like the lady who train lady snowblood to be a thief ) and be a easily dismiss second later . and the bad part of it be than even the action scene weren not any good . short and void of any special skill and just plain boring . and lady snowblood doesn not convince that she be able to handle a sword let alone be a killing machine . this be the first time i feel compel to write so many bad thing about a movie . i usually try to find redeeming quality in just about any movie i watch but this one have close to none . in short and avoid this movie . i be certain there be much good movie with the same theme out there ( come to think of it any movie with a similar theme be bind to be good than this one ) .
