I get the feeling that Mia is more than capable of walking into the restaurant alone; after all she does spend a month in Amsterdam alone every year. I think she allows her husband to organize her night out and provide a companion so that he feels he is in control of her life and it legitimizes her going out without her husband.
Also, I wondered how much the women in Tarantino’s own life have influenced the way he represents women on the screen.

quoting from D.K. Holm’s book:
“Tarantino had an ambitious, competent, successfull, and well-educated mother who (eventually anyway) served as a role-model for him”.

I wondered if people have any other thoughts on the influence of his mother on his work and his preference for strong female characters in his films. And, also, is there a link between the women in his films and his choice of female friends or girlfriends?
