20 Things You Somehow Missed In Kill Bill Volume 2
20. Bill's Jacket Frames His Role In The Film
Let's kick things off with a subtle one, but as we all know, Tarantino never does anything by accident.
Near the start of the film, when we witness the flashback of Bill (David Carradine) arriving at The Bride/Beatrix's (Uma Thurman) wedding rehearsal, note that he unbuttons his jacket in the seconds before the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad enters the chapel and massacres everybody.
This is mirrored at the end of the film, when after Beatrix defeats Bill with the Five Point Palm Exploding Heart Technique, he buttons up the same jacket before taking his five fateful steps.
In the first shot, Beatrix is walking away from Bill towards her husband-to-be, while in the latter, Bill is walking away from Beatrix towards his death. That's cinematic poetry.
