In Kill Bill Volume 2, the God’s point of view shot was used when the Bride was lying down in the bathroom crying, in the scene where Budd was looking at his money in the trailer, and the scene when the Bride submerges the head of Elle Driver into the toilet bowl in Budd’s trailer. The corpse point of view shot was used in the scene in Pulp Fiction when Marcellus wakes up with people hovering above him after being hit by a car.

In Pulp Fiction, Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega danced to “You Never Can Tell” at the bar, and Mia dances alone to Girl You’ll be a Woman Soon music in her house.

He uses music to build a scene and to get the desired emotional and aesthetic effect of that particular scene. In the movie Pulp Fiction, “Son of a Preacher Man” was played in the background when Vincent Vega went to the house of Mia Wallace (163).

In Kill Bill Volumes 1 and 2, the song Woo Hoo can be heard in the background during bloody fight scenes amidst the screams of the characters. According to the site FilmBuff in their article on “Quentin
