Maternal dominance

I finally watched this film until now, mainly because I don't like violence. When I watched the first film, I also regarded it as a purely violent film. I also thought that Quentin would not be so boring. Although making such a bad film, although it is cruel and bloody, it always looks fake, like watching a movie in a game. Violence. It was not until the end of the second part that I realized that the whole film is actually a discussion and expression of human emotions.

Bill told an analogy, saying that Superman wakes up every day as Superman, and then he has to dress up as ordinary people and mix with ordinary people, which is different from other heroes, such as Batman and Spiderman. And the killer black cobra played by Uma is not an ordinary person. Bill does not allow her to dress up as an ordinary person and live an ordinary life in it, because she is not. In this sense, I understand Bill very well, and I know how dearly he cared about Black Cobra and asked her to be loyal to the character she was meant to be. That's a requirement for a certain kind of outstanding person.

However, she is a woman, and she has an emotion that a man will never experience. She became a mother. This role requires that she must think about her children and give her a good environment for growth. She has to abandon herself, her lover and everything else and be willing to be an ordinary person. This maternal emotion and power may never be understood by men. I don't think even if Black Cobra had told Bill this, it wouldn't have saved much, because he couldn't agree with it.

Motherhood, the most instinctive emotion of human beings, is really overwhelming. No matter how the society changes, this emotion will not deteriorate. For women, it is like a survival instinct, which is innate.

PS, the years Quentin hid in the video room were really not for nothing!

Kill Bill: Vol. 2 quotes

  • Elle Driver: [into a phone] Bill?

    Budd: [into a phone] Wrong brother, you hateful bitch.

    Elle Driver: Budd?

    Budd: Bingo!

    Elle Driver: And to what do I owe this dubious pleasure?

    Budd: I just caught me a cowgirl that ain't never been caught.

    Elle Driver: Did you kill her?

    Budd: Well, not yet I ain't. I shot her full of rock salt. She's so gentle right now, I could perform her coup-de-grace with a rock. Anyhoo, guess what I'm holding in my hand right now.

    Elle Driver: What?

    Budd: A brand spankin' new Hattori Hanzo sword. And I'm here to tell you, Elle... that's what I call sharp.

    Elle Driver: How much?

    Budd: Well, that's hard to say, being that it's priceless and all.

    Elle Driver: What's the terms?

    Budd: Get your bony ass down here in the morning, with a million dollars in folding cash, and I'll give you the greatest sword ever made by man. How do you like the sound of that?

    Elle Driver: Sounds like we got a deal. One condition.

    Budd: What?

    Elle Driver: She must suffer to her last breath.

    Budd: Well, that little darlin', I can pretty much damn well guarantee.

    Elle Driver: Then I'll see you in the morning... millionaire.

    Elle Driver: Gross.
