Year: 2004
Cinematographer: Robert Richardson
Vol. 2 is just what the title suggests, the second half of what really is one film. Somehow though, Vol. could be self contained.
It establishes her need for revenge better than Vol. 1, and then comes full circle by the end as we see the climax of her revenge. There is a fully resolved story arch in Vol. 2, but because of Tarantino's willingness to tell the story out of order, to get the tone to progress and to pull the viewer in, Vol. 1 basically has scenes that he couldn't fit into Vol. 2.
In other words, he had too many long scenes that he wanted to show us, but instead of cramming the bulk of plot in the first film, he actually gives you the bloodiest, least important scenes in Vol. 1, and then has room for the plot arch in Vol. 2.
