One unspoken detail i really love is that the bald guy seems to be an insufferable roommate, but as soon as things get serious with the gifting of the sword, he's totally stone faced and respectful. The two are in sync in that moment.
My favorite detail of the end. Definitely well though out to add the extra gravity sense of importance to the moment. He was probably also this well behaved the entire month when working on the blade
Teacher/student relationship. I had the same kickboxing teacher for 20 years and I got sassy as fuck with him but never denied his teaching. I was like this guy until the moment he got serious then it was back to business. Aside from his son, I was the only person who could treat him like that without catching a beating.
I love how she can travel on a plane with a freakin’ katana right next to her. Tarantino is basically saying “this is a movie, and it’s my movie. Shut up and watch.”
My Katana was seized by the Met Police in London, what a palaver in getting it back and it is an original hand made one no serial number or arsenal stamp so pre WWII auction house said it is most probably from 1900 to 1920 single peg to hold handle on.
Well... I fly every year from Berlin Airport (BER) to holiday and need to go through all this safety precautions. Last year some radical left-wing "high IQ" persons just cut through the fence and storm the runway/airfield to distribute orange color onto the planes. Seems like Germany is only a huge joke. Or, it doesnt seem like: It is a huge joke. What happened to the radicals? After a few hours they left the police department...
Lived in Japan for 30 years and have practiced and studied swordsmanship for a long time. His comment at the end is pure 'bushido.' He isn't commenting on the 'quality' but instead on the 'purity' of the sword. In short, the essence or purity is god-like. And that stems from the effort he put into it - purity of mind and heart of why he was making the sword. That is why they are wearing white as well. For QT to have that said in the movie is the work of a master.
I wonder how long it took to get that whole part of the scene right, considering he then walks to the steps and delivers more perfection in the same take!
But of dozens of swords, each better than any sword made by anyone, he points to her that she should not try the one she almost grabbed, but the one near it. Even the best blacksmith have a few swords on which he is not proud so much. Also when she tell him about his student is the subject of her revenge, he goes silent in shame and do not want to even say his name, yet writes it on the glass. He created the best sword ever in his life. His will fueled by his shame and hope of redemption if the yellow hair warrior succeed.
This is my favorite part of Kill Bill. His seamless reaction after she says his name and they both go int Japanese. That pause as she reached, then asks for permission. The reverence with which she picks up the sword. Honestly the whole movie is fantastic.
I also appreciated the fact of how he had all the swords displayed in the passive way instead of the aggressive way most likely because he was retired. Most Japanese are right handed therefore a sword displayed with the handle on the left is considered passive as it was not immediately ready for combat.
I may have made a comment about this scene, but at this moment Beatrix not only became Hanzo's student, but his child. In the same way she trained under Pai Mei. Humble, pure, and honorable.
Also the way his "employee" who he openly argues with completely changes too; he drops the sake when he hears Hanzo's name, and is there for the handing over ceremony. I'm guessing he's always been Hanzo's apprentice and he's either disgruntled after not having worked on swords for years, or it's all a front to be presented innocently as "chef argues with imbecile employee", covering the scent of their past.
Hattori Hanzo: Revenge is never a straight line. It's a forest, And like a forest it's easy to lose your way... To get lost... To forget where you came in.
@@biol581 the katana that was crafted, was hypothetically, the sharpest, baddest, most sought after blade in the world. like a car. sure all cars have wheels, but consider it a high end Bugatti, with a built in pizza maker. that is also so fast ,it cuts rain drops in half. definitely Not a worn out k car
Finally one to show the full chapter. I may say this is ma favorite part of the first movie. The way she pretends she can't speak Japanese but as soon as he starts asking in Japanese what she wants from this man and she replies fluently, it gave me goosebumps back then. Then the fact the two guys who were so loud, crazy and funny are so calm and serious at the ceremony, always accompanied by this amazing soundtrack... it's just magical.
Give me goosebumps now / again. Especially like when she go to remove Bills name on the glass, feeling it is not worthy to be on Hatori Hanzos house. The sword handover part, also very strong stuff.
I don't think they did miss it. Hanzo was visibly shaken when she said the name, and his assistant dropped the sake in the other room. I think they assumed she was there to kill them
@@siegetech74 I meant before she spoke the name. Back when they were still arguing and Hanzo grabs assistants arm and Beatrix ducks under them. At that point they still don’t know she’s anything but a tourist.
11:39 I love the little sigh here. He realized right then that not only did he break his oath to God by making another sword, he did it in such spectacular fashion that this is the best one he’s ever made.
This is true. I am a former martial arts instructor. In accordance with the old ways, if a master’s student misuses the martial arts that was taught to him, it is the master’s obligation to “deal with” the student accordingly. So the least Hanzo could’ve done is make her a perfect blade if he wasn’t going to be killing Bill himself.
He made the monster who stained his swords, so he vowed never make another one. He breaks the promise to arm the one who would restore his name. Knowing that hope of goodness is in this warrior, he wastes nothing in creating the best masterpiece he ever made. Note that she does not use this sword to kill Bill. But she sheaths Bills sword with her scabbard. Perfect.
Love the scene, it changes in an instant. Beatrix goes from ditzy to commanding, Hanzo becomes more passive, and without even saying the name he goes against a blood vow to do what he know he must. Combined with the beautiful soundtrack, I can watch this scene over and over.
I still think Quentin Tarantino's gift is the dialogue. Not just what's said but the long silences between the words. You can feel emotion in every silence. Just fantastic
"If on your journey you encounter God, God will be cut" - a line that sent a shiver down my spine, though up to that point I just considered this movie to be a comedy. So many years later, this line still hits the spot.
God. Seeing this scene again after 20 years. This scene influenced so much of my tastes. Film. Music. Japanese culture. Samurai ethos. Say what you will about Tarantino, but you can’t deny he mastered film in the aspect of passing down inspiration from that which inspired him. Hands down, one of the best scenes in film history.
Have you seen Battle Royale? During an interview for Kill Bill Vol. 1, Tarantino raved about it so I hunted it down. Ended up being one of my favorite movies.
The scene where she looks at the katanas is so beautiful. The haunting music, the reverence with which she regards the katanas - it's so perfect, I can't get enough of it.
The respect shown by both of them when they reach the attic is my favourite part, the way she reaches out for the sword and stops then turns and asks, and he says you may then he stops her and says try the second one down wow QT is just pure class ❤
Still remember that moment in theaters as a college freshman. It felt simultaneously cheesy, almost soapy, and yet so damn earnest. A fine line to walk. Everyone played their part though and they pulled that shit off
This was the epitome of the whole feature and her sword fight with O-Ren ishii being a close second. He absolutely nailed it with the music in the background as well. Sonny Chiba was at the top of his game in only 13 minutes of screen time that almost stole the whole movie let alone the scene. It was crafted and sewn together perfectly by Tarantino.
I love the amplified, operatic nature of these two. It's classic Kyogen theatre, probably with rehearsed roles between Hanzo and his student. They have a part to play and they play it well. The bit that sells it is when they cross hands and pass over The Bride's head. She instinctively ducks, she knows the choreography and she's playing her part. Not ready to blow their cover just yet.
master Han is probably most deeply vexed although he doesn't show it with having to have the most surface conversations ..deep down he wants someone to be the one...but something like that you can never say...that's why the revealing is so beautiful... she knows who he is while she knows he doesn't....yet...she gets the pleasure of spending time with him knowing what she will reveal will change his life forever...what an honor.. its a very sweet moment...bc she has news that will change and restore everything, and she can slowly come into and enjoy the full reaction.....its so beautiful..... this reminds me of LUKE 24...... JESUS IS LORD.. LUKE 24 13That same day two of them were going to a village called Emmaus, about seven miles from Jerusalem. 14They were talking with each other about everything that had happened. 15And as they talked and deliberated, Jesus Himself came up and walked along with them. 16 But their eyes were kept from recognizing Him. 17 He asked them, “What are you discussing so intently as you walk along?” They stood still, with sadness on their faces. 18 One of them, named Cleopas, asked Him, “Are You the only visitor to Jerusalem who does not know the things that have happened there in recent days?” 19“What things?” He asked. “The events involving Jesus of Nazareth,” they answered. “This man was a prophet, powerful in speech and action before God and all the people. 20Our chief priests and rulers delivered Him up to the sentence of death, and they crucified Him. 21 But we were hoping He was the One who would redeem Israel. And besides all this, it is the third day since these things took place. 22 Furthermore, some of our women astounded us. They were at the tomb early this morning, 23 but they did not find His body. They came and told us they had seen a vision of angels, who said that Jesus was alive. 24Then some of our companions went to the tomb and found it just as the women had described. But Him they did not see.” 25 Then Jesus said to them, “O foolish ones, how slow are your hearts to believe all that the prophets have spoken! 26Was it not necessary for the Christ to suffer these things and then to enter His glory?” 27And beginning with Moses and all the Prophets, He explained to them what was written in all the Scriptures about Himself. 28 As they approached the village where they were headed, He seemed to be going farther. 29But they pleaded with Him, “Stay with us, for it is nearly evening and the day is almost over.” So He went in to stay with them. 30While He was reclining at the table with them, He took bread, spoke a blessing and broke it, and gave it to them. 31 Then their eyes were opened and they recognized Jesus-and He disappeared from their sight. 32 They asked each other, “Were not our hearts burning within us as He spoke with us on the road and opened the Scriptures to us?” 33And they got up that very hour and returned to Jerusalem. There they found the Eleven and those with them, gathered together 34 and saying, “The Lord has indeed risen and has appeared to Simon!” 35 Then the two told what had happened on the road, and how they had recognized Jesus in the breaking of the bread.
Some scenes transcend the entire film. This is one. The reverence. The pure respect and kindness. So is anything with Levon Helm. Especially his work on “In the Electric Mist” and Walberg’s “Shooter.”
Another fun point on how skill Hanzo is, because each sword is hand forged, the saya (scabbard) must also be hand fit to each one made. At the end scene, Bills sword perfectly fit into Beas saya. Showing that the sword she had gotten was indeed an exact copy.
Yes, many people were killed with this sword. Still, the one, whose name was not spoken, was not killed by this weapon, but by her bare hands. This fine detail makes the final chapter so much more personal.

The shift in tone at the uttering of Hatori Hanzo, from merry to serious, and how they both dropped the illusion was so palpable. That's good acting and screenwriting
The tone shift began when Beatrix said "I came to see a man." Hanzo is still having fun, but Beatrix's tone becomes distinctly melancholy with that line.
The BEST scene from this movie. The dialogue and exchanges among the characters. It was all innocent upon meeting. The two gentlemen have had a long, perhaps at times disgruntled history with each other. He politely inquiries about her visit to Okinawa until she mentions, “Hattori Hanzo”. At that moment, you could faintly hear the bottle of saki being dropped and shattered. It was symbolic to the oath he declared of ending his years long manufacturing the instruments of death. For the debt he now owes, he must “break” his oath to produce it once more. The late Sonny Chiba was perfect and my most admired character in this film. An OUTSTANDING scene

I love the implication that, from the single swing she took at the baseball, Hanzo could tell how rusty she was and suggested that she practice. Legendary sword crafter and knows the art of their use inside and out
I took the opposite. If the results were not to his liking, the conversation would have ended with the art show of his swords. The master/student relationship is forever. Student isn't a negative term in many APAC countries, as it is in the U.S.
@@brandonisner5214 Same here. I took it as him verifying she actually knew how to handle a sword. But she still needed to practice. The novice practices until they can do it right. The professional practices until they no longer to it wrong. The master never stops practicing.
Because the scene where he tells her to practice took place after he finds out that she is going for Bill, I had the feeling that he was telling her to practice because he knew how good Bill was, and not because she wasn”t good at all.
I.E. the baseball test was one of the final gateways if not THE final gateway. If she didn't pass the test, he could still back off without revealing his total association with the underworld.
There is a company named hattori hanzo that makes scissors for haircutting professionals. My hair stylist uses them. She says they are the best, very expensive but after you try them you can't go back to using other scissors. She had no idea about the Kill Bill connection lol.
Adding the western theme over these scenes just works so beautifully, it really is magical. Tarantino is a real artist when it comes to movies. It helps that he himself is a movie lover, so he crafts these films in a way that are beautiful and pay homage to older ones, while staying true to his own vision.
This is peak Tarantino. Bills Superman analogy. Where Clark Kent (the weak nervous puny human)is the costume. The analogy is depicted so well in this scene as well. Just brilliant

I swear by all that is righteous and true. Quentin is one hell uv a master story teller. This scene STILL gives me chills. I truly believe him and the coen brothers are unmatched in their respective genres. They made the movie going experience such a memorable event.
The music has me in tears. I love that single pan flute that shifts into brass and melodies along with it so perfectly with the pace of the scene. There is nothing bad at all in this, it's perfect cinema heaven.

This is my favorite scene in the two movies. Yes, the fight scenes are awesome, but this scene... It shows what a genius Tarantino is. The camera work is pure art.
I bought two katana swords in 1999 while in Hong Kong. It was stored in cargo but when I arrived to the US I was able to walk through the airport with them without issues. I did set off a metal detector, but security inspected it and guided me out through the right doors, no hassle. This was life before 911.
Just to see the apprentice, you can the respect for Hattori, the pain for knowing what he did, and also the love for knowing why he did what he did, one of my top 5 movie scenes ever
I used to play this song/scene to get my 2yo daughter to get her to sleep, worked everytime ,she is 8 now can't wait till age 18 and show her these great movies of our time and the music
Another detail that is just phenomenal is when [BEEP] wipes Bill's name on the window, she misses a tiny spot at the bottom and then goes back with her finger to get the spot. I feel like this is her way of saying she wants to erase him ENTIRLY and not leave even the slightest bit of Bill behind. Really encapsulates her thirst for revenge. Damn this movie is so good.
A real samurai sword even today are worth in the thousands. My friends dad had one he bought in japan. I dont remember the name of the maker, but he had taken the mantle of the original japanese maker. According to my friends dad, he did everything by hand, and his father had learned from his master who then tought his son and passed down the title.
Also, like a poem - Beatrice opens her conversation with Hattori Hanzo, by saying domo as she enters his eatery. Then at the end of this sequence, when Hanzo hands the sword he made for her to Beatrice, she responds by saying "domo"........
Damn, his handwriting is 10 times better than mine even when it's just finger on glass. I'm afraid to make my notes to people too long because it looks like serial killer chicken scratch and they might feel compelled to turn me in for nothing LOL
