Hey, Brooke and Jeyoani?
I'm glad you brought up Kill Bill. Honestly, the first movie made me literally sick to my stomach with all the rampant misogyny -- in short, I felt like the whole of the movie was really only about Tarantino making his own pornography, so he could watch pretty women fighting over the loyalty of a man. If people even said the name of the film for weeks, I would launch into a stream of invective, and it's very unusual for movies to have THAT level of effect on me.
So, here y'all are, two smart, caring feminist women. I've had others tell me I just didn't get it, and I think to SOME degree that's possible (but knowing what I know about Tarantino, that my feelings on his motives are also likely a big part of the deal, too), so want to dish about why YOU liked that film/character?
I'm interested and curious.
