Useful Article: Kill Bill Vol.2...

Here is a article i found from Jatinder’s blog [Thank You!] on Kill Bill Volume Two. I found this article very useful because it talks a lot about the audience,Tarantino and also Beatrix:

‘Beatrix is essentially tortured in each instance. The Madsen sequence is the most horrific. Beatrix is shot in the chest with a shotgun blast of rock salt, left to writhe in pain, tied up with belts and ropes, dragged across the desert floor, threatened with having her eyeballs burnt out with Mace and finally buried alive in a pine coffin. Budd leers and gloats over her the while, deriving great pleasure from her agony. What is one to make of this?’

However, it also tells us how Tarantino is ‘merely reflecting the violence in the society around him...’. The article also tells us how the audience found Kill Bill ‘entertaining and amusing’. [It talks about Killl Bill in more depth]

This article will help me because it is the other side of my agruement on how women are being underrepresented as it reinforces the ‘misogynistic’ as well as ‘patriarchal’ attitudes because Bill brutally murders his lover [Beatrix Kiddo]. Moreover, Kill Bill does challenge and break the tradiotnal roles of the male being the heroic/domainant chracter and women being the passive/ damsel in distress character.
