[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]
I had to repeat myself because you obviously didn’t understand what I was saying. Let me repeat myself again: in Revenge films, there is always a Hero and a Villain. The Hero/Heroine is the principal male/female character in a novel, poem, or dramatic presentation. Beatrix is the principal character in Kill Bill; there is no refuting that. And Bill is the character who is at most odds with Bea throughout the film. Hell, Bill even admits that he’s an evil person and he tells Beatrix that she isn’t a bad person. This really isn’t rocket science here.
[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.[/quote]
You’ve seen the movie. You know how far Bill would go to get what he wanted, no matter what. And it was HER baby too; it might have been a bit wrong what she did to not tell him, but it certainly wasn’t evil. And you never answered my question, so I’ll answer it myself: shooting someone in the head and killing their friends/unborn baby is clearly more evil than running away and not telling your baby daddy that you’re pregnant. Since when is shooting an unarmed pregnant woman in the head acceptable in any kind of circumstance?
[quote]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]
No shit. That doesn’t change the fact that: she wanted to escape the assassin life and give her child a chance to grow up without all that bloodshed that she had to endure. And things like that can certainly change a person and put everything into perspective.
[quote]She might have been the hero, but she was also a villain.[/quote]
That makes no sense at all. In a Revenge film, there is one main Hero and one main Villain. She might have not been 100% good in every way, but that doesn’t mean she was a villain either.
[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.[/quote]
That doesn’t matter, seeing how she did redeem herself at the end of the film. So everything that came before that didn’t matter once she changed her ways.
