Kill Bill - Interview with Uma Thurman (2003)

Uma Thurman discusses Quentin Tarantino's creative process and shares her experience filming "Kill Bill: Vol. 1."

[@Brian_Boru]

She should've won a Best Actress Oscar for her work in either Kill Bill films. Sheer brilliance.

[@Ojitoverde]

She deserved to be nominated for It , but she couldn't had won charlize theron in monster

[@Labyrinth1010]

She was so good. Everyone was for that matter.

[@joanofarc33]

@Paralysed Mind There’s no way you’ve actually seen Monster and think Uma’s performance was better than Charlize’s. Stop it.

[@adriasunyol4558]

The movie litterally happens in her face, in her body. There's hardly any other movie where the actress is SO important. But most of the questions are about Tarantino... What a missed oportunity to understand how she gave such a great performance.

[@Gaia369]

Agreed .. her facial expressions are much more deep then the actual show of death. But the combination is very much what made that movie. Dedicated indeed ☺️

[@abbysands9510]

Early on -I liked Him - thought he was smart but once you see what a narcissist he is - you can’t un-see it.

[@petesorensenguitar]

Not excusing his approach to the interview but you have to admit that at the time Tarantino was this larger-than-life force of nature of a director. People couldn't help but ask questions about him. Uma's performance needed time to ruminate in people's consciousness for a few years.

[@haleyw5469]

Uma was just on fire in these films. They were a great vehicle for her. Tarantino got truly stellar performances out of his main players, each and every one of them. The films are mythical, almost like the swords made by Hatori Hanzo.

Charlie totally misunderstood what Uma was saying about Quentin being a self taught original director. Of course all directors are influenced by other movies and art, but her point was that he doesn't feel bound to any typical formulas or narrative styles, he believes in his vision 100%

I guess you're being sarcastic about the interviewer. Yes, Charlie Rose was often very good. Here, he uses his guest to get answers about somebody else. I don't think he did as much research beforehand as he should have. Had he done his homework, maybe the questions would have generated more enlightening answers.

Woke up from a long sleep. He yawned, stretched, and at last opened his eyes completely. For two minutes, however, he lay in his bed without moving, as though he were not yet quite certain whether he were awake or still asleep, whether all that was going on around him were real and actual, or the continuation of his confused dreams. But when they looked at me with their sweet eyes full of love, when I felt that in their presence my heart, too, became as innocent and just as theirs, the feeling of the fullness of life took my breath away, and I worshipped them in silence. Their children were the children of all, for they all made up one family.
