Quentin Tarantino hasn't read a Superman comic made past the 50s: the soliloquy

>>81432848

or maybe Bill hasn't because he's fucking Bill and doesn't read comic books

>>81432848
still awesome though

>>81432848
Has any real person?

Bill's gun was retarded

>>81432848
This is a common theme in Superman, and a lot if cape media still, it's a poignant monologue. Besides, the point is to say, "Bitch, you are a killer at heart," anyway.

>>81432869

Maybe he shouldn't be talking about comics then and get on with killing the woman whose wedding he ruined cuz of his oneitis

>>81432848

They're also from different superhero universes so they shouldn't even be compared either.

>>81432848
Good. Nobody over the age of 12 should read comics

>>81432925

>Besides, the point is to say, "Bitch, you are a killer at heart," anyway.

That makes no sense since Superman was raised as Clark Kent, and only found out about his heritage later, he does not just throw that away upon learning he's Kryptonian.

Bill's speech is just outdated as hell.

>>81432992
And Beatrix was raised as a normal young woman and only turned assassin later. You're getting hung up on the text, not the subtext to which it refers.

>>81432818

What was the point of this talk in context of the movie?

>>81432818
It's literally the opposite of this. Super man is really Clark Kent, and he has to put on the disguise of Superman in order to help people. Bruce Wayne died with his parents and Batman was born, but he puts on the disguise of Bruce Wayne to interact with the world. Fucking Tarantino.

I guess unless it's something you care about it's ok to just blabber on like it's the truth, forget facts amirite ladies?

Then Bill is STILL wrong, dorkus

Give me a break

>>81433022
To make an explicit metaphore on the whole point of the movie and to show how clever Tarantino's writing is when The Bride interrupts him while he talks and him stops every now and then to talk about the stuff he injected her

>>81433022
There wasn't one. Tarantino does this a lot. Shit he thinks about while high on coke at 4AM that he thinks is a good point. Then he just throws it into whatever script he's working on at the time.

>>81433122
Apparently he got very high while woring on Hateful Eight since half the movie is "muh lincoln letter" dialogue repeated over and over with no variations whatsoever

good for him, for a moment I thought he was a manchild

The entire backstory of Superman posits that an alien race somehow evolved to have superpowers, but only when in a completely different solar system than their own.

Lesson: It's best not to overthink capeshit

>>81432818
The point of this monologue is that it said a lot about Bill's worldview. The fact that he viewed a lawful good character like Superman as some condescending phony shows how irredeemably villainous he is. His lack of empathy is straight up sociopathy. Beatrix might have believed him before she got pregnant but she had experienced enough to know the kind of person she truly was, far more than Bill did.

>>81434440
Nope, she didn't believe he could commit a massacre before he actually did it.

>He's weak, he's unsure of himself, he's a coward. Clark Kent is Superman's critique on the whole human race.

Or he really looks like Superman with glasses so he actively behaves in the most contrary way possible to avoid suspicion.

But also yes.

That's a really intriguing take on it, thanks. I love this community.

She's a killer and for her to run away from that would be folly, a mere pastiche of what she considers to be a normal life.
He definitely went off on a tangent though.

>>81435879
shut the fuck up

>>81432917
It was. What was the point of a truth serum? The scene could have gone on and I would never have thought "man this is definitely shit Beatrix would lie about." Just show how she's done lying to the man. Don't have him shoot people full of glowing green liquid

>tarantino after jackie brown

This speech is hokey and doesn't fit cleanly within the movie. The truth serum is just ridiculously stupid. There's a line between stylishly over the top and ridiculous, this scene crosses it. It breaks immersion in the movie.

The whole bit about the truth serum was unneeded and I feel without it or the stupid Superman speech, it would have been a better scene.

But still, the Bill showdown after being hyped for 2 movies and about 3 hours is such a disappointing letdown to a fairly amazing couple of movies.

I feel it has elements that work. Her meeting her daughter at the door while she pretends to gun her mom down is pretty epic. And I like that it ends with the 5 finger tap kill or whatever they call it. They could have written something much more compelling with those elements.

I'd say it knocks 2 pts out of ten off an otherwise pretty good movie. For me, Kill Bill Part 1 is 9/10. Part 2 is 6/10. I would have been willing to grant Part 2 an 8/10 but the ending is shitty and badly written. And that monologue is a big part of the problem.

>>81436228
>And I like that it ends with the 5 finger tap kill or whatever they call it.
That's actually the worst part.

>>81436268
It would have been good if we had some actual action going on in other parts of the movie
Kill Bill 2 action scenes consist entirely of an eye torn out,5 finger tips a shotgun blast and some Pai Mei torturing

>>81436312
I like that though. The two movies are microcosms of what Tarantino does well. You know to go to the first one for ultraviolence, and the second for good dialogue. The halves seem split this way for a reason.

>>81436312
>It would have been good if we had some actual action
>we

Speak for yourself you cinema illiterate! Stick to flicks!

Part 2 should have just ended with her getting back together with Bill and realizing that revenge was pointless when she could live happily in a nice villa with Bill and her daughter.

What was the point of that annoying BEEEEEP when they reveal her real name 10 minutes later?

>>81435879
I know, it' a really clever way of viewing it that likely had nothing to do with why it was put in the film.

I feel that this 2 part movie was basically a lot like when a band makes a 2 part album set....

It follows this formula, they film 2 movies worth of material or record 2 albums. They realize they have a really solid movie/album and than some other stuff that needs to be worked on and polished a bit more before release. They release the first album/movie to critical acclaim (think: Kill Bill 1, Use Your Illusion 1, Load). Then they intend to polish and rework some of the "B material" that was intended for the sequal or subsequent albums.... but a couple years passes, they just release the B material as part 2 when it was nothing but rejected tracks from the first and scenes that didn't quite fit or weren't quite as good.

I feel this was the case with Kill Bill part 2. The second is distinctly weaker and I've never heard anyone say otherwise. Though I do really like parts of it. The part where she gets captured by Budd and buried is fun, the flashback to her training, but the rest is weaker. The finale of it the weakest point, and that whole superman speech never should have made the final cut....

>>81436615
How does QT get decent performances out of actors whose only other credits are sub-Corman B-movie trash?

>>81433028
Even Uno farto flicks are higher up on the entertainment totem pole than capeshit comics so I don't see how Bill's personal interpretation of Superman is invalid

>>81436709
it's literally cut in two right down the middle against the directors wishes
