One of the most memorable moments in Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill It is when the Villano bill paralyzes the heroic girlfriend, also known as Beatrix Kiddo, and depends on her views on the character of Superman.
It is a bit stellar of writing delivered expert by David Carradine in what could be said that it is his best role on the screen.
Unfortunately, it is so dear that many people take it to the letter. They buy Bill’s version about Superman as legitimate. That tells me that they are not seeing the forest for trees during this crucial moment, either as a real Superman evaluation or for the real reason of the scene.
Bill can’t see the true Clark Kent or Superman
The key defect in Bill’s reading about Clark Kent and Superman comes in their fundamental misunderstanding of Clark Kent and Superman. You cannot see Clark Kent as more than a direct performance, an opinion shaped more by Christoper Reeve Films than comics, while Superman is the true identity because he is the person in which he was born.
Anyone with a more complete understanding of the character and stories of the character knows how reverted this roles task is really. Although Clark has this incredible inheritance that informs his character, he was raised as Clark Kent and lives a life like Clark Kent. It is only later that the superman adopts and believes that he is a type of action that integrates his most true being.
Finally, he finds a healthy life that balances the two sides of his alien lineage and his American harvest education. Actually, it does not reflect Bill’s opinion about the character at all. It seems a fundamental misunderstanding of the character.
That is why it is so important to remember that Bill is the villain of history.
A villain deforms a hero to control another hero
He Kill Bill Superman Monologue takes place within a dynamic of very important power in history. Beatrix Kiddo is pumped with a Super Truth’s serum bill, calls “the indisputable truth.” Bill is using this scenario and Superman’s analogy to argue that Beatrix was lying to try to live a simple life.
Beatrix admits this hard emotional truth about his escape attempt to anonymity, but also shoots that he would have had his daughter. She would have found a path to happiness. But the opportunity to pursue that was eliminated by Bill due to his need to control Beatrix.
And that’s what this scene and monologue really are about: controlling Beatrix narrative tells herself. Bill armizes his deformed vision about Clark Kent and Superman to weaken the resolution of Beatrix. Even if he really believes in his opinion about Superman, he does not defend him as a spokesman for the writer or to present a great creative argument. He is a character about the manipulation and his twisted idea of Clark Kent and Superman is simply more manipulation, both of the character about the character and Beatrix’s truths about herself.
Look, let me reduce it to a more relatable framework for this discussion: do you really believe in something that Lex Luthor says when he describes his evaluation of Superman’s character? If I didn’t listen to that villain’s opinion, why would you listen to Bill? Both use their views in Superman to boost their own evil agendas.
I love Kill BillI love Superman and I love this scene. However, it is time to stop reading it as a criticism that is worth it in the steel man. Instead, see what it really is: a bad boy who plays to know what a good guy is so he can remain a bad boy.
