At what point in watching a movie does Quentin Tarantino think, "I bet I could make a shitty version of this"?

“I’ve immersed my body in the river of vengeance and thrown away my womanhood many moons ago.”

This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
i think it can be said with some degree of certainty that this film contains the single greatest sword slice in cinematic history (you know the one... with the hanging body... i giggled like Harry Knowles, and then i moved to a monastery in order to repent for 7 years, and now i'm back with a vengeance).
it's a shame how the grindhouse product churned through '60s and '70s Japan displayed a far greater degree of thought / concern for artistry than many of the AAA studio titles made in the US (and Japan, for that matter) today. have snap-zooms ever felt so violent? for how many weeks was Quentin Tarantino catatonic after first seeing this thing? if you cut Meiko Kaji, does she bleed soupy orange blood? i suspect that anyone who knows the answer to that question is now in deepest hell.

blood should be this red in every movie methinks

most movies should be this

Lady Snowblood is billed as “Meiji Kaji AND HER UMBRELLA”
I was aware Tarantino pulled the outfits from this movie for Lucy Liu (the same way he pulled the Enter the Dragon outfit for Uma Thurman) but the Kill Bill comparisons for far beyond that. In fact, this feels more Tarantino than maybe any other single movie. The blood spraying, the revenge plot, badass female protagonist. It’s a lot but I don’t think it detracts from either movie.
I really enjoy revenge films. I think there’s something about seeing the culmination of what this person has dedicated their life to, it’s incredibly satisfying but also they’re so so fun.
I’ve also noticed recently I don’t mind obvious sets! I’m not…

She is born shura, born a dispossessed child of heinous crimes and the adulterated law that let them go unanswered. Without father-, without mother- and land, she is trapped to a fate already set before birth. A life's worth of training and planning and preparation for the hunt, only to find her marks have moved on. She can't.
Anti-exploitation in the guise of one, a tale of tragedy despite its thrills. The sins of the past inevitably catch up with transgressors of the future, but catharsis is not there. Just trauma.
Post-war Japan forgets. Crimes of the past now small trivialities and do not concern such a fat-pocketed future. For a person left behind in one era, the next seems…

There are films that are violent, and then that are films that love violence.
“Lady Snowblood” is most definitely in the second category.
Originating from a manga that ran in a men’s smut magazine, it’s hard to not look at the past and future lineage of “Lady” while watching her work.
The concept of a vengent demigod with a sweet theme song and a bloodlust for justice makes Lady a clear daughter of “Django,” itself originating from an Italian comic. Where the Corbucci-born Italian forefather lugged a coffin with a machine gun, Lady Snowblood’s signature weapon is a not-so-dainty purple parasol.
Further mixing spaghetti with noodles, “Lady” also borrows its flashback format from Petroni’s 1967 tale of childhood retribution, “Death…

i love how an hour into this movie it totally forgets it’s set in the 1800’s not the 1970’s and adds a fast-talking anti-establishment reporter-turned-hit-novelist, a super funky soundtrack, and some pretty sophisticated prosthetic trickery…
(yes this was the inspiration for kill bill)
