this film have obviously gain a lot of attention since quentin tarantino kill bill volume one and volume 2 come out . i be not ashamed to admit i get interested in it after it be link to kill bill and but then again and i hadn not hear of it until a while after the kill bill movie come out and and i think it sound like something i would be interested in and my kind of movie . and it definitely be . let get it out there in the open represent this film be really silly . it have those great seventy kung fu noise when someone jump up in the air unlike any human could and as well a noise when someone shove a sword into the enemy . but because it silly do not jump to the conclusion that there isn not a point to watch it . sure it just entertainment . but the story be one of the best i have ever witness and and not because of the blood and gut . the story be of course about revenge and but the revenge spawn from a woman who give birth to a daughter and swears that the daughter must be an instrument of revenge on those that mess with her mother . ( a silly premise and but here where it become cool ) . meiko kaji who play lady snowblood and also know a yuki and doesn not spend the movie wrap in evil and revenge with anger on her face . there genuine hurt in her performance . it be actually extremely sad that all she be be an instrument of revenge and death and but that what weigh the film down into some sort of believability . the set be standard japanese action sort of set but they have that certain charm about them that easy on the eye and it lock the film into this particular recognizable genre but still stand on it own two foot a a film . also another standard in this genre be freeze frame . usually i like to comment on shot that continue movement but a certain frame and frozen or still move and be my favourite of a film . now and one freeze frame ( if memory serf me correctly and the only one ) and of the baddie come up some stair and that may be the second shurayukihime ( apology if it be ) and one side of her face be visible in the freeze frame to alert the audience of this woman arrival . it be laughable in this but laughable for the right reason represent it isn not corny or annoying and but it a genuine charm of this genre . many standard of this genre may stop you from watch this but watch it for the genuine heart wrench story of yuki kashima and also know a shurayukihime and lady snowblood . a genuine piece of cinematic gold that be also entertaining and worth a watch .
