I did get that but I didn't think it was so great or original, plus it kind of ruined the entertainment value of the ending. Kurt crying was just too much, like Tarantino wanted to make sure the audience got his message.Aonaran wrote:Well, I think the film did a kickass job of examining gender roles. It was also very critical of the modern stereotypical "girl". The first group of twats did essentially nothing but talk about bullshit and getting dick. They talked a big talk but in the end they were chickenshit. Jungle Julia being the loudest and most pompous of all, yet she gets the sad piano music in the hilariously melodramatic text message scene. I dunno, what I got from that whole first half was "whatever these bitches get, they bring it on themselves".POOPERSCOOPER wrote:I don't quite get what your trying to say but I assume its either very literal and sophisticated or that it would be pointless to have the same ending for 2 groups of girls?
This was reinforced with the second group of girls who very clearly didn't give two shits about gender roles and playing the victim. When faced with the "big bad man" they did the same shit any male character would have done in an action film, they whooped his ass. I thought Kurt Russel's touch where he cried like a bitch was brilliant because it underscored the weakness of the first group of cunts by exposing the impotence of this "big bad man" figure.
Yo Quentin, you're trying too hard to mean something.
