Perspectives - Postmodernism in Kill Bill Vol. 1

Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill Vol. 1 tells a blood filled story of revenge staring Uma Thurman , who plays the role of the bride who's family get slaughtered by the skilled Deadly Viper Assassination Squad.

Luckily for him, the next step to the journey (The Call to Adventure) is given to him early on in the movie.
