[quote]Heros can be the most unlikely of people. And yes it does make her (the) hero because Bill, the Villain (obviously out of the two and from the film’s viewpoint, he is the Villain), is her biggest obstacle. [/quote]
You’ve just repeated yourself there. Someone who has a villain as an obstacle, does not neccessarily make them a hero. A villain can be against another villain. Hero’s need not come into the equation.
[quote]So which is more evil in your eyes: running away with someone else’s baby (which was HERS as well), or shooting somebody in the head? Hmmm. And you have to look at her intentions to see the whole situation for what it really was. Bea wanted to escape the assassin life and give her child a chance to grow up without all that bloodshed that she had to endure, while that wouldn’t have been able to happen if she had stayed with Bill. “She started it” is just a poor excuse.[/quote]
She would have never got shot in the head if she didn’t run away with the baby. She could have discussed how she felt with Bill, worked out some other arrangement regarding BB. She did not neccessarily have to have grown up surrounded by bloodshed. Bill obviously loved BB, otherwise he would have never taken her.

Don’t make this sound like Beatrix never wanted to be part of the DiVAS. She only changed her mind once she found out she was pregnant. Beatrix was happy to go around the world, killing human beings for vast sums of money.
[quote]In every Revenge film, there is a Villain and a Hero. The lines may be crossed sometimes, but it’s evident that Bea was the Hero because she was the protagonist of the film and she was the one who had to fight through however many people because of what she so strongly believed in. Line three for the definition of “Heroine” (which is the correct term) reads:
The principal female character in a novel, poem, or dramatic presentation

She might have been the hero, but she was also a villain.
[quote]You do know what the concept of “Revenge” is, right? Beatrix wouldn’t have had to take revenge if she hadn’t been wronged in the first place by being shot in the head, having her friends killed, and her baby murdered as well (or so she thought). Maybe her path started out only for her own sake, but by the end of the film she was trying to save another’s life as well and it wasn’t just all about her.[/quote]
Bill wouldn’t have had to take revenge if he hadn’t been wronged in the first place by having his daughter taken away from him, from having to lose someone he loved, from having to mourn for all those months.
[quote]Beatrix found redemption by the end of the film, so yes she was a good guy.[/quote]
Yes, I have to agree with you there, she did turn good (as did Budd, Jules, etc). But for he most part, Beatrix was bad.
