analysis - Why is the bride's name beeped in Kill Bill Vol 1? - Movies & TV



In the movie Kill Bill Vol.1, whenever someone mentions the bride by her name




Beatrix Kiddo




Her name is censored with a beep. Is this explained somewhere in the movie? Or is it just a signature that Tarantino leaves?


Answer




Well for the first film and for most of the second, the Bride is on a revenge mission where she is hunting her victims. Her identity would have to be a secret to make sure she doesn't get followed or caught.



It could be Tarantino's way of breaking the 4th wall and including us in the element of mystery and disguise that the Bride has to undertake to remain anonymous. Also, this could mean we are meant to detached emotionally from her as a character until her name is finally revealed as Beatrix Kiddo by Elle Driver.



This is when we see the character as fully vulnerable and when she opens up her emotions. So Tarantino thought of this as the opportune moment to unveil all secrets of this character.



Or perhaps it was just Tarantino being weird and awesome.
