References to Westerns
Quentin Tarantino's Kill Bill, Volumes 1 and 2 were contemporary reinventions of many classical Westerns. His imagination allowed him to turn, what seemed to merely be, martial arts and Kung Fu into obvious recalls of films like Shane, The Searchers, and Once Upon a Time in the West. Though Kill Bill was very different from these movies, it clearly showed references to each. In Kill Bill there was a scene where Beatrix was standing in the doorway wearing her wedding dress staring out into the desert. This scene compared to one in The Searchers when Martha was standing in the doorway and also looked out into the dessert. The pose that both wome
Like Shane, Honzo, who had made an oath to God not to make another sword, made the decision to use violence one more time to help Beatrix. Martha stared out watching Ethan ride away imagining what her life might have been like if she was with Ethan instead of his brother. Both women were looking out at the other choice they could have made. Both men gave up what they were exceptionally good at because of the association their jobs had with violence. Honzo and Shane both tried to do everything they could to continue their new normal life, but justice called them both back into the life of violence. This scene resembles the one in Kill Bill at the wedding chapel. Westerns can be spotted in many different types of art. Shane gave up his buckskins and gun along with gun fighting so that he could fit in with the middleclass farmers. Jill arrived at her new home only two find that her family had been brutally slaughtered by Frank and his men. Another scene that is like one in Kill Bill is in the beginning of High Noon. The character Shane in one of the classical Western movies could have been a reference to Hanzo in Kill Bill. Honzo stopped making swords because he wanted to live a normal life of a restaurant owner. Beatrix saw her other alternative as being with Bill, the man she loved.
