ok but not as good as I expected.

Dear God, you a moron.
A friend brought a pirated version, perfect DVD rip, into school 2-3 weeks ago. Right into the media design and production class.
And of course, we watched it, then watched it again, and fucking analyzed the shots.
It has some of the best cinematography we have ever seen.
The part when Uma is in the bathroom, look at the shot as the camera pulls out, down the hallway, into the mainroom, flying uptoward the rafters, to follow Sofie (O-Ren's assistant) and then continue back through the hallway and into the bathroom is freaking amazing. That is one continous shot, and only through tricky work with the crew, a ceiling guide arm, and some nifty sets and electronic works does that thing work.
Or the final fight with O-Ren out in the garden. That is one fucking beautiful shot. The snow falling, the Japanese art...
The combo of the Old Western style music mixed with Traditional Japanese styles was amazing, and the animation sequence broke the film up into excellent bite sized pieces.
But I guess some of you morons wouldn't understand perfection unless it rammed itself up sideways in your ass.
Every cheesy look in that movie was made to look that way. Like the old Japanese Samurai movies of yesteryear, which is where Tarantino got the inspiration for the movie itself. (Mixed with Old Westerns)
