Thoughts on Kill Bill and Beatrix Kiddo
when cade came to visit me and doug a couple of weeks ago, i seriously think he watched each volume of kill bill about three times, MINIMUM. after viewing them again and again with him, i understand why. as cade has said, kill bill is a story not only of revenge, but one that proudly and honestly displays the strength and beauty of the human spirit.the character of Beatrix Kiddo has greatly impacted me; to what degree, i am still not quite sure. she represents all that we as humans have the potential to be. if seeing her in action doesn’t inspire you to be more, then i don’t know what will. yes, the movie is violent. yes, there is language and “inappropriate dialogue.” look past all that. as cade said (in so many words), this flick goes far beyond the disturbing elements such as “squishing eyeballs and cutting off limbs.”
of the scene in kill bill, volume 2, that cade and i are so enthralled by, i have composed a descriptive list (primarily for you, kahday):
Induced sleep,
Stripped of (almost) all resources,
Weary and lacking strength;
Submission to “defeat,”
Disbelief,
Hyperventilation,
Despair,
(but not utter despair);
Memory of Lessons Taught and Learned,
then Resolve,
then Action,
Endurance and Perseverance,
even Humility,
Faith,
Determination,
Patience,
Strength Renewed,
and,
ultimately, Victory.
and Freedom.
I don’t think my feelings could be summed up any better than what cade has already said: “i just want to punch my way out of this grave i feel like i'm in. and if i can't do it then i'll watch beatrix do it and get a few chills.”

cade, were you replying to sms or me? what do you think (of the list)???
sms, thanks for the sound advice. i agree that it's much easier said than done--i think you'll be more prone to agree after you've seen the movie.
thank you, loved ones, for the comments. :)
