Feminism and self-arrangement

Imogene 2022-03-16 09:01:02

From a passerby who is not a Quentin fan, his thoughts are as follows:

1. The smorgasbord of different cultures is very distinctive

The mixture of Italian style brought by vegetation and color, Japanese bushido and architecture, and Chinese martial arts, every scene changes is a new flavor, so it is dazzling and not boring.

2. Conflict and harmony between dynamic and static

What I usually use is melodious music and fierce fights. What impressed me was the duel with Yulian in KB1 and the sound of wabi-sabi in the bamboo pipe. And the sudden black and white colors present violence in monotonous colors with weak visual tension.

3. Killing Bill is a patriarchal rebellion

Bill's identity is a teacher, a guide, a lover, a child's father, and even a father (by mistake). Killing Bill means killing the influence of all male characters. To put it a bit higher, all patriarchy is eliminated. After reading the KB, I think Quentin is truly feminist.

4. No one can arrange anyone

Bill said that the heroine’s self is the killer, which is a bit of Bole. It can be said that Bill loves the heroine so much, she cherishes the priceless treasure. But I feel that many bean friends always don't understand, and always feel that they can't really know themselves. Only a wise man can wake up the heroine. Bill sees through the essence of the heroine.

But I don’t think so. After the hostess learned of pregnancy, she immediately gave up her career and gave up her original life path. The importance of the child can be described as surpassing her. Maybe the heroine doesn't have the self. She used to live for Bill's expectation, then she wanted to live for the child, but she failed to live for revenge. Ten thousand steps back, if the heroine was born to be a killer, how could she give up her career for an embryo? Put it on any girl, maybe she will choose to abort for her career. A female protagonist with such a strong motherhood, you said she was born as a killer? I don't believe it anyway.

Bill's problem is that he has been a high-powered person for too long, and he is too arrogant to be a guide for the heroine for too long.

    Violent but beautiful.

    Quentin is a genius! You~ deserve it! In fact, the ending in my mind is that after he fell, her daughter gave her a knife from behind, using the samurai sword that Uncle Hachitori cast for her.

  • Pai Mei: [punches through a block of wood from three inches away] Since your arm now belongs to me, I want it strong. Can you do that?

    The Bride: I can, but not that close.
