I also don't get how Kill Bill was made for a male audience. Yes, there is blood and violence, but the movie also captures something strongly feminine, the loss of a child that I don't think a male audience can fully understand or appreciate.

Well, that's a bit of an odd statement, since if you're saying you feel tarantino portrayed it accurately, then you're saying HE understood it, no?

Per Jackie Brown containing racism, really, that comes out of the gnre the film was about, Blackxploitation films which were absolutely INTENDED to be racist. Far as I say with that film, Tarantino didn't divulge from the mold much.

Personally -- obviously, we have a difference of opinion, no problem there -- I didn't see Tranatino doing what you did per accomplishing more dimensional characters, realer people. When it comes to all the filmmakers we have out there in the world, I'd have to say that in my opinion, he's pretty low on the scale, there. Same goes when it coms to gender.

Absolutely, I'm interested in and willoing to see different interpretations of work, but Tranatino as a person has been quoted all over the place during his tenure with arseloads of sexist, racist comments. I don't think one has to read into, for instance, something like this (of Icelandic women): ""I'm in a room full of supermodels who were drunk out of their mind standing on a table, (going) 'Let's get the party started.' I'm like, 'Where have I been all my life."
