This song appeared when the title subtitles appeared. This is a simple song accompanied by a Spanish guitar. But the singer is not small. She is the daughter of Frank Sinatra, the king of songs. Although the tune is simple, the lyrics are in tune with the movie story, as if the "bride" is whispering her grievances with Bill.
2. That woman named Charlie Feizhe.
Obviously, this is a fast-paced western country song. In the movie, it appeared in Mike Parks' Texas policeman driving to the scene where the bride was killed. In this passage, Xiao Kun used the same scene of "from dusk to dawn". A row of sunglasses placed above the bridge made everyone in the cinema laugh.
3. The Great Duel-Louis Bakaloff
What do you think of this melodious harmonica lead mixed music? By the way, spaghetti west! As soon as I hear this kind of music, there will always be scenes from the Italian classic "Once upon a time in the West": the sunset is like blood, the yellow sand is like fog, the gunmen calmly confront each other, and the storm is coming! This mysterious, romantic and cruel music appeared in the animation clips of Ishii Ouren's childhood, and there was a tear hidden in the gorgeous violence.
4. Twisted nerves-bernard herrmann
This piece of music is used in the scene where the Elle driver of Cyclops dressed as a nurse killed the "bride". Whistling has always been a way for people to express their relaxed mood, but after listening to this whistle, you will feel a chilling and strange atmosphere. This piece of music comes from the movie "Twisted Nerve" of the same name. In fact, composer bernard herrmann is a master of thriller music, and he has provided music for dozens of movies in his life. Of course, the most famous is his long-term cooperation with the thriller master Hitchcock.
5. Run Fay and run Isaac Hayes.
This piece of music appeared when the "bride" flew from Okinawa to Tokyo and got off to follow the Ishii Ouren motorcade. Composer Isaac Hayes is famous for providing music for 197 1 TV series "Shaft", and won the best Oscar for 1972 because a film quoted this music.
6.the green hornet-aluminum sweatshirt
As soon as I heard the name, I knew it was from the TV series The Green Hornet, which was played by Bruce Lee in those years. In the movie, it was used to show the momentum of the O-Ren Ishii team. Under the "touting" of jazz trumpet, the "underground queen of Tokyo" has a panoramic view.
7. Fighting without honor and humanity-Tomoyasu Hotei
This is probably the most familiar soundtrack for the audience, which was used in the first trailer. Very dynamic and realistic music, the scene used is just the slow motion of "Tokyo underground queen" Ishii Ouren visiting "Green Leaf House", which can be said to be both fashionable and interesting.
8. Don't let me be misunderstood-Santa Esmeralda
Crisp applause, enthusiastic and charming guitarist, typical Mexican music. In fact, it is a disco music, and the whole song is divided into two parts: human voice and pure instrument. There is no complete quotation in the film, but only a part is used at the beginning of the final battle between the "bride" and Ishii Ouren. Because of its flamenco style and lively rhythm, Quentin used it to match the movements of both sides in the decisive battle, which can be said to be a combination of "dance" and "martial arts".
9. Flower of Massacre-Meiko Kaji
This track is also from a popular Japanese drama in the 1970s, and it was used at the end of the movie. When Ishii Ouren fell to the ground, the music began to play. The nostalgic and sad female voice, coupled with the snowflakes on the screen, suddenly pulled the audience into the sentimental mood of the "bride" in the film.
10. Lonely Shepherd-Zanfir
I believe many people are familiar with this flute music, which has been used in countless movies, TV series and advertisements. Used twice in the film, the soothing melodious tune is very suitable for the task of "connecting the past with the future". When the audience walks out of the cinema in this piece of music at the end of the film, they will definitely add some thoughts to the film and infinite expectations for the second episode.
1 1. excerpts from Ironside-Quincy Jones
This amazing piece of music comes from Quincy Jones's film and television works in the 1960s and 1970s, which is very popular not only in the West, but also in Hong Kong and Japan in the East. In fact, Quentin heard an old Hong Kong film The First Boxing in the World (starring Luo Lie) on 1973, and he was deeply impressed. For him, when such explosive music plays, it means that the hero is going to be angry. So, he used this music the moment the "bride" first met her revenge object, that is, Vernita Green just opened the door. He wants the audience to have such an association: "Bride" is going to fight! Sure enough, in the next scene, the "bride" knocks her opponent back into the house. ...
Of course, in the soundtrack of the film, there are several other songs and music clips, including Japanese contemporary pop rock, American urban rap, and a piece of progressive rock music called Krautrock. However, due to the lack of contact with classic film and television works, the author will not repeat them here.
However, the officially released soundtrack album does not include all the music materials used in the film itself. The following are music clips that are omitted from the album but still have a strong style:
1.7 Black Notes-Vince Tampela
Remember this scene in the movie: the bad doctor named Buck came in to "clear the field", only to find that the "client" he introduced had been splashed with blood; At this time, the camera slowly moved from the close-up of Barker's face to the ground, where is the angry face of the "bride" ... this piece of music is very strange. It can be said that without this soundtrack, the thriller effect of that camera is much worse.
2. Truck Turner-Isaac Hayes
Another score written by Isaac Hayes comes from the movie of the same name 1974. In Kill Bill, it appears in the part where the bride is in a wheelchair looking for Buck's "gun truck". In fact, this movie is the only one starring ishak Hayer.
3. Healed wound-Lily Chou Chou
Did the audience familiar with Japanese movies think of anything when they saw Lily's revenge? By the way, this voice hummed the work "Everything about Lily Zhouzhou" from Shunji Iwai 200 1. The original style was rather sentimental, but Quentin used it in the scene where the bride first saw the collection of famous swords of Hattori Shimada Hanzo, adding a happy and sad atmosphere: I am glad that there are so many good swords, but I am worried that they are all first-class killing tools. I'm afraid this kind of mood is also a true portrayal of the mood of the sword-casting master played by Sonny Chiba in the film.
4. From person to person-ennio morricone
Personally, this is the most important track missed from the soundtrack album, which appeared at the climax of the movie: the "bride" cut off the arm of Ishii Ouren's assistant with a sword, and the crowd in the "Green Leaf House" fled wildly, and a big battle was about to begin! The vocal chorus perfectly sets off this climax atmosphere, which is no less than the rendering of opera. In fact, this vocal music comes from 1968' s classic Italian western "Death Riding". Just listening to music, you can imagine a wonderful scene of a very gorgeous fight.
5. No one except me-human Baines
After watching Kill Bill, the audience will be deeply impressed by the scene of the "bride" rolling on the ground with her double swords and cutting her legs like melons. The music used in that passage is this song, but the voice has been removed.
6. Ulami Bush-Meiko Kaji
It is not clear why Quentin did not include this song in the soundtrack album. As soon as the score of the second volume came out, the truth came out: it was included in the score of the second episode. Actually, it's a meaningful song. As mentioned above, the whole story of Kill Bill is intended to pay tribute to the Japanese film "Mrs. Yukime" of 1973. This song is the theme song of that movie, and it is also the theme song of "Kill Bill" appearing in the credits. I wonder how many viewers insisted on listening.
