spoiling kill bill 3

Maya Hawke
plays
Beat­rix Kiddo’s daugh­ter, B.B. (be­cause duh).

Ver­ni­ta Green’s
daughter,
Nikkia, is played by Zen­daya.

Nikkia
gets her revenge
and Beat­rix ac­cepts her fate af­ter a fair fight and is killed.

Both daugh­ters then have one hell of a bat­tle and then stop, re­al­iz­ing they were thrust into a world by their par­ents that nei­ther of them had a choice in, but now they can change things and break the cy­cle of revenge.

They ul­ti­mate­ly be­come best friends and team up to car­ry out vig­i­lante jus­tice against tru­ly de­spi­ca­ble people.

 

So the
en­tire time
I was watch­ing Once Upon a Time in Hol­ly­wood (2019) I couldn’t stop thinking

“Who is this made for?”

I have great­ly en­joyed many of Tarantino’s past films, but this thought is chang­ing how I feel in ret­ro­spect. Be­cause of that I will prob­a­bly nev­er go back and watch most (if any) of them again.

I’ve been catch­ing up read­ing every ar­ti­cle on this movie I can find, and when peo­ple have con­front­ed him about the role of women and the way he por­trayed Bruce Lee in this film, he lit­er­al­ly said, “I re­ject your hy­poth­e­sis,” like some kind of wormy lit­tle fuck­ing edgelord key­board warrior.

This movie felt like sev­er­al steps back for him, and it would have fit bet­ter some­time in the aughts, in­stead of in 2019.

Re­gard­less, I was both in­sult­ed that he used the mur­der of Sharon Tate as a ve­hi­cle for the plot and an­noyed that I was be­ing asked to re­vis­it it and still care.

And the women in his movies are ei­ther har­bin­gers of vi­o­lence, vic­tims of vi­o­lence, or they stand there and look pret­ty and the men talk around them.

Taran­ti­no came so close with this movie to achiev­ing some self-aware­ness and re­flec­tion and is­su­ing some much need­ed apolo­gies and in the eleventh hour he threw all of that out the win­dow and dou­bled down on his bullshit.

And it’s beau­ti­ful­ly shot and the act­ing is excellent.

But Taran­ti­no could have made a few key choic­es with the di­rec­tion of that film that would have made it 1000x more com­pelling (for me) and also would have grown him as a filmmaker.

And he doesn’t.

He’s be­come as cliché as Wes An­der­son with his dad­dy is­sues and Shya­malan did with his sur­prise plot twists.
