Quentin Tarantino said that he would be comfortable showing his son, Leo, Kill Bill at age 5. In 2017, Tarantino got engaged to singer Daniella Pick, who's the daughter of musician Svika Pick. The two met while Tarantino was traveling for Inglorious Basterds. After getting married in 2018, they announced that she was pregnant with their child in 2019. Their son, Leo, was born on February 22, 2020 in Israel.
The first volume of Kill Bill was released in 2003, while the second hit theaters in 2004. The first part follows the Bride (Uma Thurman) after she wakes up from a coma she's been in for four years. As a former assassin, she begins to hunt down all those who lent a hand in betraying her at the wedding that became a bloodbath. Meanwhile, Kill Bill: Vol. 2 finds the Bride continuing on her warpath to get revenge as she begins to close in on the assassin leader himself, known as Bill. While Tarantino is only planning on making one more film before retiring, he's talked some about a Kill Bill: Vol. 3 that would star Thurman's daughter, Maya Hawke.
In an interview with Deadline, Tarantino talked about a wide range of topics, including his personal life and his career. When asked about what age he would be willing to start showing Leo his films, Tarantino responded that it would depend on his interest. He reflected back on having seen more graphic films himself while growing up. He noted that he would guess his son would have interest in Kill Bill at around age five. See below for his full comment:
"That depends on his interest. If we’re judging by me, I saw a lot of stuff early on when it came out, you know, so I would imagine [early]. If I had to imagine, he would probably, as a little boy, be most attracted to Kill Bill, anywhere between 5, 6 or 7."
Tarantino has an impressive filmography with some big classics, such as Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction. The two-time Oscar winning filmmaker has become known for having a signature style that is instantly recognizable and has inspired many other filmmakers. However, his movies tend to be rather graphic in multiple regards, consistently earning him R-ratings from the MPAA. For example, Kill Bill Vol. 1 received the R-rating for strong bloody violence, language, and some sexual content. This includes the Crazy 88 fight scene that switches from color to black-and-white as an homage to old martial arts films, but also as a way to appease the MPAA.
Different parents have a variety of opinions regarding what type of content is appropriate for their children. The MPAA ratings system is meant to assist families with making these decisions, even if it's often misused and problematic. Some folks will surely judge Tarantino for being comfortable showing his child Kill Bill at age 5, while others will simply shrug. The film is certainly gory and graphic throughout its runtime, including talk about rape, but this is also one of the filmmaker's more over-the-top cartoonish films. The individual maturity of a child should be taken into consideration, although no child is likely to truly appreciate a film at such a young age. However, it'll be interesting to know what Leo's opinion is of his father's films as he gets older.
